Sanctaphrax:
Mimic Sound and Mimic voice look like Echoes Of The Beast trappings to me.
I confess that I don't really understand how Phantom Slashes is meant to work.
Astral Projection looks like a good idea to me. Human Form probably shouldn't be allowed to affect Spirit Form anyway, since that makes your character stronger while refunding refresh.

Simply, as written, it lets a character score a hit, write down the number of stress that hit would have inflicted, and (instead of dealing that stress in that exchange) decide later in the conflict to cash them in - the tactical advantage being that you can suddenly inflict a very large hit in one shot that will hopefully overcome all of the consequence and stress tracks in one decisive final blow. It is mechanically the same as stacking Aspects to tag for a decisive final blow, except the potential payoff is much higher.

I think Mimic Sound is a good Echoes of the Beast trapping - allowing Performance to substitute for Deceit in certain situations.
I think the two combined would make a decent 1-refresh Supernatural Power.
ways and means:
Supernatural Tank Stunt/Powers
Armoured Core [-1]
Requires "Inhuman or greater Toughness" and "Shrug it off"
When using shrug it off to "dodge" an attack with endurance which does not bypass your toughness power add your supernatural armour rating to your dodge roll (+1 for inhuman, +2 for supernatural, +3 for Mythic Toughness)
Perfected Amoured Core [-1]
Requires Inhuman Toughness or greater, Shrug it off and Armoured Core
You can 'dodge' any attack with Endurance which does not bypass your catch regardless of the situation ie (grapples, ambushes etc).

Those are good, and to be honest I have always been kind of annoyed that evocation, or enchanted items flat out surpass any other defense. 8 defense is about the highest a speed guy can get, and is still hit easily by a wizard for 2 less refresh. . .
