Weaknesses
Diminished Potency
As an Unnatural Deviant, Stephen grapples with a distinct weakness, experiencing diminished potency compared to his natural Deviant counterparts. Unlike those born with Deviant abilities, Stephen's enhancements are not as robust. His strength, speed, and durability, while elevated, fall short of the overwhelming might exhibited by natural Deviants. This discrepancy leaves him vulnerable in direct confrontations where the raw power of a natural Deviant might prevail. It's a reminder that being an Unnatural Deviant is not equivalent to the formidable capabilities of a natural one.
Unstable Mind
Stephen's Unstable Mind is a haunting consequence of the dual identity he harbors. The traumatic memories from his time as Shi, the assassin under Iztan control, manifest as a psychological burden, causing nightmares and flashbacks that blur the boundaries between reality and illusion.
Regeneration Hindrance
While Stephen's regenerative abilities grant him remarkable resilience, each instance of regeneration exacts a toll on his stamina, leaving him more susceptible to fatigue. The energy expended in repairing injuries drains his vitality, making prolonged combat or facing multiple injuries taxing on his overall endurance. As the demands of regeneration increase, Stephen must carefully ration his energy reserves, lest he find himself weakened and vulnerable in the midst of battle. This vulnerability to fatigue serves as a crucial limitation, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and efficient use of his regenerative powers.
