Essence of theGod-Machine

By drinking this strange concoction of oil, gears and metaphysical engineering, you become the God Machine, an overarching occult architecture for any reality you inhabit.

• This does not mean you are necessarily omnipotent and you do require proper Infrastructure and Angels in order to serve your purposes. However, you have access to a baseline of all Embeds and Exploits from the Demon: The Descent line along with the Angelic versions of these powers, but these tools may be expanded with your own developments. You by fiat have unlimited Aetheric energy, allowing you to power all of this, and more.

• Your true form has been remade into an idealized state that is fundamentally post-human and perfected. You are capable of retooling and shapeshifting this into anything necessary for your purposes within an instant, but are initially limited to what is available from the Demon: The Descent line. If your form is destroyed, rendered inoperable or simply damaged, you may reform and regenerate it, with the time involved relating to the level of damage, the Infrastructure available, and your overall metaphysical power. You may form additional bodies that you directly control as well, with the same limiting factors. This isn't your human form though it may naturally look human and you won't beep on metal detectors, but it will thus read as inhuman in some way.

• This is solved by your ability to form Covers, lives and backstories that ingrain themselves into reality itself, that can stand any test that tries to disprove your humanity besides actions that go against what people would normally think your Cover would do. You gain an initial Cover of your choice, whether it be your original life or an idealized one in reality, replacing a character or making your own original character in a reality based on fiction, or something else. You may form multiple Covers which act in accordance with your will and in perfect synchronicity with the identity, even if you ignore it, thus your Cover will show up for their job and work without you having to go through the trouble of actually doing so.

• Your mental faculties are optimized along the lines of a computer, with your perfect memory, natural ability to communicate and understand in all languages, immense multitasking capabilities, and near-instantaneous calculative ability being exemplary. Your mind gains perfect control over your body, capable of displaying any necessary body language, brain activity, thought patterns and more. It is impossible for someone to know if you are being deceptive unless they have evidence to the contrary and they will be very much inclined to thinking that you believe in what you are saying or doing.

• You may form Angels to carry out your will which are unable to fall or go against your will, unless you allow it. These Angels are subordinate intelligences which you may analyze and know the content of every thought and possibly feeling, but they may be optionally non-sentient yet capable of acting with intelligence. Your Angel construction capacity is in line with how powerful the Angel you are creating is and the Infrastructure you have available as well as your metaphysical power.

• You may establish reality-warping Pacts, whereby establishing a contract with another, you and the other party may receive benefits as well as terms. This scales with your metaphysical power, but initially you may grant someone riches beyond compare or immense beauty in exchange for a favor (which may be kept deliberately vague in order to gain far more). If the contract is broken by either side, then you or the other party will suffer a comparable punishment for doing so, depending on how serious it is and how much reality-warping was done. This usually will inflict itself as damage to Infrastructure or their body, which bypasses immunities and resistances.
