              Notes: Imp has a Dread Power called Spare Parts, which allows her to take fresh, non-
              decayed human body parts and use them to replace parts of her own body. By doing so, she
              can rearrange her Physical Attributes. She needs a supply of body parts, some means of
              attaching them, and two hours of work per dot she wishes to shift. Heavy duty thread and
              a needle work — the alchemical magic holding her together does the rest.


               Description: Walter is beautiful. He has a sleek swimmer’s   Alternately, the hunters might run across Walter after he

               When Walter’s disfigurements show, all the perfection goes
            away. His teeth are ill-fitting and wiggle noticeably when he speaks.                       Imp
            The tattoo on his arms and back distorts, becoming a random col-
            lection of squiggles. His hands and feet seem too small for his body,   Not right. Not right. I think it’s my foot. Right one bigger. Not

            much more about the human world than most Prometheans   wrong and the body breaks apart into monsters. Sometimes they
