Coyote (dedication)
Very mysterious. If you'd like him to be less mysterious, too bad. Please file all complaints in RSX's basement.
Location
One can follow Coyote for 60 Mako in Crater Lake in Oregon.
Powers
Followers of Coyote can afflict their enemies with Metamorphosis for various effects. Quite entertaining, too.
Active followers also gain an additional 2 Hero Points. This first takes effect on the next character refresh after becoming an active follower.
Lastly, active followers can transform others into forms they have mastered with a Nanite Control Extender, similar to a Nanite Adept. They cannot, however, change themselves with this ability.
- TF <form>: Transform someone into <form>. It will cost 10% mako battery charge to transform the target into a form they do not have, if you both have mastery of the form, this will not apply.
- TF <part>=<form>: Transform a specific part into <form>. It will cost 2% mako battery charge to transform each of the target's parts if they do not have the form mastered, it is free if you both have the form mastered.
- TF genitals=<form>: Make all their bits match <form>. If you want to change your friend's bits to match a form that they do not have mastered, it won't cost anything.
- TF <sex stat>=<form>: Change part of their bits to match <form>.
- TF Size=<form>: Change their size into that of <form>.

Additional Equipment
| Name | Description | Mako Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Gift of the Trickster | Allows those dedicated to coyote, but not currently in it, to shapeshift others. Still requires a Nanite Control Extender to function. | 50 |
| Infection Randomizer | Allows nanite adepts or coyotes to target 'random' when they just can't make up their minds. | 20 |
| Nanite Control Extender | No one is entirely sure where this thing came from or how it works exactly, but it seems those of Devourer or Coyote dedication can use it to inflict changes on other people as easily as nanite adepts change themselves. Frightening in a way. | 50 |
Thematic Information
Followers of the Native American god Coyote gain some of the trickster's power over people's shape, as well as his knack for cheating death, and other feats of heroism.
The mechanics of how Coyote dedicants are able to change others has recently come to light. From Native American mythos, 'Coyote created man from clay.' Now, nanites have wet that clay anew, allowing Coyote's followers to sculpt others into different shapes as they wish.
