Essence of theRenter

This Essence tastes like the feeling of getting someone to rent your spare bedroom and the excitement that accompanies the thought of (hopefully) free money.

• You possess the power to rent out copies of your powers, though initially you cannot do this with impunity. Instead you can rent out up to one fully powered, fully "leveled" copy of a power you possess (one that is just as strong as your version of said ability), or weaker versions of your own abilities that are not as strong in some respect as your powers (in increments of 10% of the fully powered ability, such as giving someone a version of your super strength that gives them 10% of your strength), and you can take anything you want that someone else owns as payment. They must agree to this of their own free will and will know exactly what they can and can't do with the power they've rented.

• Training someone else does with a rented copy of one of your abilities counts as training for you, and you can rescind someone else's access to a rented copy of your powers at will (though this also stops their payments to you).

• By default rented abilities cannot be used against you, unless you explicitly allow this at the time that you and the renter are entering into the rental agreement.

• Once a lesser version of a power you possess has been trained enough it becomes a full copy of the power in question that you can rent out with impunity, and training will still count for you as well. Eventually you'll be able to rent out hundreds of full strength copies of your powers since there's no hard cap in place for how many full-power copies of your abilities you can possess. You can also externalize these powers in some way, and sell or give them away without losing the actual ability, but this makes them not keyed to you anymore.
