STAT RANK: B+
CURRENT DESCRIPTION:
QUIRK NAME: Pundit
QUIRK RANK: B+
QUIRK TYPE: Emitter
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Pundit, the quirk, functions as its own separate entity inhabiting the mind of its bearer, whispering into her mind's eye. It knows the thoughts, vices, and desires of its user, even when with attempts to resist it. Although she maintains control over the being in its manifestation and corporeal form, and she is not subservient to its advice, she has little ability to actually ignore it. Pundit, the being, does not however inherently desire ill will for its user and instead operates as the "voice of truth," as it calls itself.

▸HIJACK: When manifested into a physical form, Pundit takes on the shape of a small, black or white, spherical creature (a diameter of about 1 meter) with a mouth and eyes, though it can make itself smaller (down to 0.1 meters) for the purposes of the following feature: While in its physical form, Pundit can embed itself into machines, spreading a network of its nerves throughout its host and taking hold of their physical form, manipulating their mechanisms to operate as it sees fit. This does inherently alter the properties of the technology it operates, nor does it allow Pundit to destroy them from the inside out. Additionally, if the machine being infested possesses a sort of software, Pundit may willingly allow it to coexist or entirely override it and utilize its parameters to their desired effect.

That being said, Pundit's manifestation does not result in it leaving Jackie's mind; in fact, it's more accurate to call its manifestation an appendage of its will. As a result, its physical form can be summoned numerous times (with up to 4 being able to exist at a time) and be destroyed numerous times without "killing" the being-like quirk.

▸ANTIGRAVITY: Pundit's physical form is comprised of an odd material that differs from the known, allowing it the ability to move omnidirectionally through the air. Additionally, when extending its systems into Hijacked machines, it transfers the same property over to them, allowing Pundit to grant such devices a flight speed and dexterity equivalent to its own (which is equivalent to the quirk rank).

QUIRK DRAWBACKS/LIMITATIONS:

▸LITTLE GUYS: Pundit's ability to inflict and withstand damage is next to non-existent. As a result, their power and their constitution are treated as C-, with everything else being standard for a quirk of its level. This penalty does not apply to the machines they Hijack.

▸FISH ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD: I feel it generally unnecessary to point this out but will do so in case the question arises: No, humans (and creatures with their own bodily systems) are not considered "machines" for the purposes of Hijack, thus meaning Pundit can't forcefully pilot PCs or NPCs, even if consent was granted IC or OOC. Most living beings are entirely off the table as targets.

▸ORBIT: Pundit, in all of its manifestations, needs to be within 20 meters of its users. Going beyond this will result in them collapsing to the ground, including any machines being Hijacked at the time. Moving back into range, primarily through the user stepping into range of the Pundit, will restore functionality and awaken them for usage.

▸FORCED REMOVAL: Destroying a Pundit in an existing machine will also destroy the nervous system embedded into it, effectively releasing it from the control of the user and other benefits of the quirk.
