The new body. The Transformed used to look like everyone else, and now they don't. Maybe their skin is metal, maybe it's stone, maybe it's something more complicated than a noun. Strangers stare. Loved ones flinch. Heroes try to talk them down off bridges.

Their question is whether they can ever look in a mirror without somebody else's voice in their head.

Identity questions:

  • What did you used to look like, and who knew you then?
  • What does your new body do that even you find unsettling?
  • Who insists on treating you the way they did before — and is that a kindness or a cage?

Starting label biases: Danger +1, Freak +2, Savior 0, Superior 0, Mundane -1
