Nebulon
Interdimensional Entity
Concept: A post-physical Xeridian consciousness that voluntarily collapsed itself into meat and bone to experience mortal limitation - its dimensional nature bleeds through despite its best efforts.
Origin: Voluntary dimensional compression.

Hindrances
- Curious (Major): Compulsively investigates every novel sensation - once stood in traffic to catalogue the precise quality of adrenaline during near-impact.
- Phobia (Minor): Involuntary panic response to sudden physical contact; the flinch it cannot override despite knowing the blow trajectory eleven milliseconds early.
- Quirk (Minor): Refers to its body in clinical third-person ('the vessel hungers,' 'this form's cortisol is spiking') as though reading a status report.

Powers
- Intangibility(6 PP)Range: Self•Duration: SustainedPass through solid objects. Power Down if concentration lost; Permanent (-2 mod) makes always-on (can briefly affect physical world as a free action).Trapping: Shimmering eleven-dimensional lattice - objects pass through trailing void-staticMods: Affect Others; Requires Activation
- Teleport(7 PP)Range: 6"/12 yd•Duration: InstantInstantly move to any visible point within rangeTrapping: Folds local spacetime like origami, leaving a brief iridescent scar where two points kissedMods: Traverse; Range
- AwarenessLevel 4(4 PP)Range: Self•Duration: PermanentIgnore 4 points of attack penalties.Trapping: Residual eleven-dimensional perception bleeding through as overlapping spatial echoes
- Flight(7 PP)Range: Self•Duration: PermanentFly at Pace 6 (4 MPH) base; cost 2-18 PP scales up to Near Light Speed (SPC pg.2407)Trapping: Gravity stops applying - rises trailing scorch-wisps of void-light from dimensional seamsMods: Maneuverable
- Doesn't Breathe(1 PP)Range: Self•Duration: PermanentHold breath up to 15 minutes, immune to inhaled toxinsTrapping: Sustained by ambient dimensional bleed rather than chemical metabolism
- Doesn't Eat(1 PP)Range: Self•Duration: PermanentSurvives twice as long without food as humansTrapping: Sustained by ambient dimensional bleed rather than chemical metabolism
- Doesn't Sleep(2 PP)Range: Self•Duration: PermanentNeeds half as much sleep/recharge time as humansTrapping: Rest-state warps local space, scorching bedsheets with void-patternsMods: Tireless
- ToughnessLevel 2(2 PP)Range: Self•Duration: Permanent+2 Toughness.Trapping: Compressed dimensional density makes the vessel's tissue absurdly resistant to kinetic disruption

Backstory
Among the Xeridians, experiencing mortality is considered the ultimate art form. Nebulon compressed itself voluntarily, expecting clinical observation - instead it discovered terror, hunger, and the humiliating inability to stop its new body from reacting before thought catches up. It documents everything, determined to bring back a complete record of 'the small life' even as it grows less certain it wants to leave.
Appearance
Tall and gaunt with skin that catches light wrong - faintly iridescent at the temples and wrists where dimensional bleed is strongest. Moves with uncanny smoothness punctuated by sudden, exaggerated flinches. Eyes shift between grey and a color that doesn't exist in three dimensions.
