STRENGTH
Charm, 1 scene
A rare mutation of the Amplify blasphemy, this ability allows the very flesh and blood of its wielder to be infused with grace, pushing them past impossible limits. WARNING: Without proper preparation, catastrophic physical failure will occur.
Subject spends all remaining psyche bursts (min 1).
For the remainder of the scene:
- Subject's mundane physical abilities are elevated to CAT equivalent, and fighting sins with mundane forces is no longer hard.
- Subject can push any physical action to CAT+2 by gaining 2d3 stress. May result in injury.
- All standard weapons break after use unless specifically tempered.
- Break Division provides tempered weaponry between missions (1 scrip/weapon).
- At effect termination, subject sustains injury and becomes temporarily incapacitated until group rest period.
- Subject regains consciousness at rest commencement.
WARNING: Subject demonstrates extreme attachment to VIRTUE FAITH. Separation of subjects is NOT RECOMMENDED unless explicitly ordered by Level 4+ Command.
Subject's medical background provides enhanced precision in combat scenarios. Deployment with surgical objectives is recommended when available.
Break Division must be notified 48 hours prior to deployment to ensure adequate weaponry preparation.
Subject demonstrates higher sociability than previous FORTITUDE. This is considered a net positive for organizational cohesion but DOES NOT indicate reduced capacity for violence.
Per CASTLE addendum 3604, subject is only allowed nutrient paste despite repeated requests for standard food options.
FORTITUDE is a reserve calamity-level elimination asset. Deployment requires LEVEL 3+ authorization and should only be considered for Category 4+ Sin threats or situations requiring extensive physical destruction.
Subject requires specific handling. The following protocols must be observed:
- Break Division weapons are MANDATORY
- VIRTUE FAITH should be informed of deployment
- Destruction parameters must be EXPLICITLY defined pre-mission
- Recovery team must be on standby post-mission
