♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Self-Sustenance

Toby doesn’t need to eat or sleep, at least, not physically.

That’s the short version of the power. The longer version is that his body has evolved in such a way that it is self-sustaining. Given normal stress and exertion, he simply doesn’t have to physically eat or sleep in order to stay alive. His metabolism still functions as normal: he can still digest food and water, but his body doesn’t need the required calories or nutrients in order to survive. His body just seems to survive on its own without the outside sustenance, to the point where Toby has not felt hungry since his manifestation. In addition, he can daydream or meditate, but he doesn’t physically need to sleep, nor will he get exhausted unless he overexerts himself physically or mentally.


LIMITATIONS:

• Toby doesn’t physically need to eat or sleep, but in order to keep mentally sound, it’s generally a good idea. Once he hits about half again the standard sleep deprivation levels, he can start to see things or space out. His mind needs to rest in order to recharge; his body doesn’t.
• Toby can still become physically exhausted: he does not have enhanced endurance. If he exerts himself physically, he will still need to lie down or rest. The same goes for recovering from illnesses: they generally require that his body at least relax, though not outright sleep
• Drugs that aid in sleep still work on Toby, but to a greatly reduced amount. To sleep he would have to take several doses of sleep medication, which he may do from time to time.

SIDE-EFFECTS:

• Again: a long duration without rest will result in his mind going more than a little off-kilter. He has been known to get increasingly paranoid and/or to start daydreaming or doing odd things during his off hours.
• Since his body doesn’t naturally rest, if he doesn’t remember to do so, he can suffer from physical exhaustion and the other criteria that sometimes hit. He thus has to at least “cool down” and do very light activities or nothing regularly
• If Toby does enter a drugged sleep, he has a tendency to have extreme night terrors.
