Everything

Well past Monstrous, you’re hideous to the point of inspiring nightmares. Unless you mask your true form with serious magick, people and animals run screaming from your presence. Physically, you’re not merely misshapen but repulsive on a primal level – the sort of terror that sent Lovecraft’s heroes over the edge. You might not actually be a Nephandus or Marauder, but folks who know what those words mean will assume that you are one. A normal life is, for you, impossible. Whether due to Paradox disfigurement,

malignant disease, extreme body modifications (cybernetic, artistic, or otherwise), severe scarring, or similar acts of malevolent fate, you look like John Cobb threw up on you, then ran.

System

-wise, this Flaw inflicts a +3 difficulty modifier to any social roll that involves not scaring the shit out of people, and lowers the difficulty by -3 if you are. Your Appearance Trait is stuck below zero, and faint-hearted or weak-willed Storyteller characters may be

faced with Things Man Was Not Meant to Know (as per Mage

20, p. 407) if they wind up spending time with you.
