Genesis

Effect

You create a living creature from raw biological material. The creature is designed to your specifications:

• Maximum size: Horse-sized
• Maximum stats: Pool 6, HP 8, WR 3, AR 2
• The creature is loyal to you — it obeys simple commands and recognizes you as its creator
• The creature has basic animal intelligence (cannot speak, cannot use tools, cannot Channel)
• The creature lives for 1 week before its biology collapses (the Current can create but not sustain life indefinitely)

Requirement

Touch — requires organic matter, at least 10 kg of tissue, living or dead.

Special

The creature is visibly unnatural — its proportions are slightly wrong, its eyes are uniformly colored (no iris), and it smells faintly of ozone. It is alive, it can suffer, and it will die. The ethical questions are immediate and unanswerable.
