This character, after being exposed to a sound enough, can mimic it almost perfectly. Using Deceit, this character may mimic any sound that they could justifiably hear often (A guy on the streets won't mimic a jaguar's roar, and a tribal native won't be able to do a police siren). Performance could be swapped for Deceit with justification (like if the character is a comedian who's really good at impersonations). This only applies to general sounds, not speech.

Mimic Voice -1: This character after hearing someone speak for a long enough amount of time (Not a few words, but maybe a short conversation) can mimic that person's voice using Deceit. Just like Mimic sound, this can be used with performance as well.

I think they're both cool, but more stunts than powers. For a power, I'd combine them both and leave them at one refresh, otherwise it just isn't useful enough to justify magical abilities.

I agree.

You may also want to find a way to work in ventriloquism (non traditional) to make hte siren sound like it's coming from a certain direction.  Far more useful than a dead end alley emiting a siren.

Could performance be used for ventriloquism or would a power work better?

Tedronai:
'Throwing one's voice' sounds to be in the range of a stunt, I'd say, comparable to Pickpocket (and similarly achievable without the stunt at penalty).

ways and means:
[-1] Astral Projection
Requirements: Spirit Form [-3]
You can freely change between your spirit form and your human body, your body is left in a comatose state whilst you are out and will eventually die if you don't return to your body in a timely manner.

I designed it as a "power" for a were-mockingbird... so he could make it sound like the siren's coming from the street. Also, I would probably ppost this on a stunt thread... if we had a stunt thread we could post on in the resoucres thread.
