As a member of the Arcosian race, like your mutated brethren, you possess the ability to suppress your strength under layers of bio-armor. Though you do not need to do so to contain your power the way they do, suppressing your power in this way still has its uses, allowing you to pass amongst regular society with ease or trick opponents into believing you’re weaker than you are. You may be intentionally weakening yourself, but make no mistake- this is just another stepping stone on your path to greatness, your Suppressed Evolution.

Underwhelming Evolution (Percentage of Power): You have regressed into a weaker form, suppressing your true strength under layers of bio-armor, much like your mutant kin.
(1)-[Permanent]: You cannot enter a Grade of Suppressed Evolution unless you have a number of Holding Back stacks equal to or exceeding the Grade.
(2)-[Automatic]: If your number of Holding Back stacks falls underneath the number of a Grade you are currently in, you leave that Grade and enter a lower Grade of your choice (you are still limited by the 1st effect of Underwhelming Evolution).
(3)-[Triggered, Ruling]: At the end of your turn, you may spend a stack of Overwhelm to gain a stack of ‘Underwhelm’ (max. 1+G). Upon leaving this Transformation, convert all of your stacks of Underwhelm into stacks of Overwhelm (this may allow you to exceed your limit).
(4)-[Triggered, 1/Round]: When using the Signature Technique Maneuver, you may ignore the Attribute Modifier Bonus (AG/FO/MA) of this Transformation for the duration of that Attacking Maneuver.
(5)-[Passive]: Increase your Stress Bonus by G.
(6)-[Passive]: Increase the amount Life and Ki Points you regain from Legend Realized by 2G(bT).
(7)-[Passive]: Reduce the Ki Point Cost of your Attacking Maneuvers by G(T).
(8)-[Graded]: Suppressed Evolution has 3 Grades.
