(Supernatural Grafts) The Stygian Sisterhood, Prosthanos Society And Others

[KOFFEYKID]

“You know about the Prosthanos Society?” I asked.
“Buncha lunatics in the Baltic region,” Bob replied immediately. “They lop off their bits and pieces and replace them with grafts from inhuman sources. Demons and ghouls and such. Patchwork immortality.”
I nodded. “The Stygian Sisterhood does the same thing—only with their psyches instead of with their physical bodies. They slice out the parts of their human personalities they don’t want, and replace them with pieces torn from inhuman minds.”

Anybody got any ideas on how to do this? I think playing somebody who does the Stygian Sisterhood thing would be interesting as hell.

Like a focused practitioner with the Aspect, "Restraints are for suckers."  I mean, really, removing parts of your own psyche you find irrelevant or limiting?  Heck, it sounds like a low-powered version of Maeve from Summer Knight.

Yeah, this is rather flip and I didn't give it as much thought as I could have, but...

try demonic co pilot for starters then law breaker for the mind messing and the binding of other creatures bits
aspects are a must for this obviously, i think then that the mimic abilitys and form would add a cool package ( i think )

Thing I can think of:

A stunt or minor power related to resisting mind control and mental attacks.
Most sorts of mind control are for human targets, and your mind now has awesome improved bits stuck on where all those human weaknesses used to be.

A purely mental beast change.
Always wanted to do better in negotiation, but having trouble with your hunger for blood getting out of hand? Now you can swap in some new mental software and only want to kill your foes and drink their blood after the talky bits are done!

Or just some stunts or powers related to you being a really good method actor.  Or, at least, you've eaten the brains of some pretty good method actors, and you've been itching to try out your new acting skills.

A stunt or minor power to improve the sight/make resisting it easier.
"I used to have trouble looking at things like that, but now that I see the same sort of thing in the mirror, I find it's not so much of a problem anymore."

^I wouldn't actually give the mental protection.

The Stygian Sister succumbed pretty quickly when Thomas went to eat her.

I know the whole lust thing the White Court does is mental whammy stuff, but it seemed less like her mind crumbling than her body.  Seemed very much a "spirit is willing but flesh is weak" defeat.
