Nier: Kainé and Nier Abilities + Weaknesses Additions

2,973
1,405
Starting with shared abilities:
  • Limited Immortality (Types 4 and 8, not combat-applicable): via Project Gestalt. Replicants are created from the genetic template of their respective Gestalt's original body, and as long as the Gestalt's information is still accessible, a new Replicant body can be made.
  • Immunity to Soul Manipulation (initial generations only): Replicants were made as soulless shells to combat at be immune to White Chlorination Syndrome/Red Eye Disease, which relies on a victim having a soul in order to function. Replicants did, however, develop souls of their own, eventually, which segues into -
  • Resistance to Possession (current generations): due to possessing souls and individuality, they subconsciously reject their Gestalt's attempts to join with them, with Gestalts only occasionally being able to take over Replicant bodies, and usually only in certain circumstances, as seen with Tyrann/Yura.
  • Reality Warping and Physics Manipulation: their magic is already stated on their profiles to warp reality and physics, so these are unlisted abilities that need to be added.
Weaknesses:

* dependent on the continued sapience and existence of their respective Gestalt. If the Gestalt dies or suffers from the relapse phenomenon, losing sapience, their respective Replicant suffers from the Black Scrawl, which causes them excruciating pain, is implied to unravel their DNA, and is inevitably terminal.

Kainé-exclusive abilities:

  • Multiple Selves (Type 2): Unlisted ability referenced multiple times in her abilities list. Partially possessed by Tyrann/Yura
  • change resistance to Space-Time Manipulation to resistance to Existence Erasure-based Memory Manipulation. After Nier's existence and all memory of him was expunged from the world, she was capable of tangentially remembering him, albeit couldn't fully recall him.

Kainé-exclusive weaknesses:
  • Due to a defect in the logging of her genetic information in Project Gestalt, her Replicant body is intersex. While it doesn't physically affect her by any means other than cosmetic, bigotry regarding her appearance has caused her to more often than not be treated as a pariah, and has negatively impacted her mental state.
  • Due to Tyrann/Yura being partially relapsed, his sharing a body with her has afflicted her with Black Scrawl. If he fully relapses, the worsened Black Scrawl will eventually kill her.
 
I don't recall the Replicants developing a new soul, just a consciousness hence why they don't accept their Gestalts back.
