Make an organic blackbox ASAP, got it.

Actually, no.

I'd rule that you have to actually be alive for it to be useful, so if you die before you can regenerate you're still dead.

Minor wounds can still heal pretty fast, though, and even major ones as long as they're not imminently fatal.

So basically, you're just as screwed as everyone else. Paper cuts are just slightly less of a nuisance.

Anyway, since I didn't get in, I have shamelessly changed my power to something completely different.

I'd been planning around that I could regrow an arm in about five seconds if I needed to. Oh well.

So, how to make an Organic blackbox. Tiny tiny holes for veins/neural pathes to the outer body, a case of magically reinforced metal, a big ol' clump of neurons to regen the body in case of brain death, a tiny heart, and some miscellaneous other things basically styled around a version of the Pyura chilensis, Living Rock of the ocean.

Freeform body alteration, people! Get creative or get packing!

In a world like this one, that metal is going to have to be strong.

I don't really understand how humanity got anywhere if these darkness thingies are running about. What, did they just not notice us getting past the stone age at all? How did we get to the point where we are?

And if they've been coming at us for a while, you bet your ass there better some type of common and cheap magical alloy that can withstand their shit cause if they can just casually waltz through concrete or steel barriers how the hell is anywhere going to stand for any length of time, magical deterrence not withstanding?

Adequate supplies of magical hormonal teenagers obviously protected them.

And thus we tread into the moral issues, and also the issue of what did they do before they did that?

Investigate it.

If you're curious about those questions, have your character look into it and try to figure out why these things don't make sense.

The necessary sacrifice of teenagers is a very longstanding tradition. Look up the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

Morals, schmorals. Most of them are crazy anyway, obviously they need to be pointed at acceptable targets for the good of everyone else.

also the issue of what did they do before they did that?
Point them at other targets!

I plan on doing so once I start work on my Blackbox project.

Also that was solved by a very long piece of string so all that anology says to me is that 'Theres a bleedingly obvious solution here but nobody is looking for it.'

The game will then logically end because someone finds the equivalent of a Kill All the Things button. Even if the GM didn't plan for it to happen, someone will kill everything anyway.
