Powers & Abilities Evaluations Thread

Was looking all over for this thread,

anybody know what powers/abilities this would grant?

Basically, going through the well allows the user to travel to the past. Inuyasha (a character from the past), was able to smell Kagome's blood in the present.

I know his "smell range" is interdimensional, but with the time shenanigans, does it grant anything else or no

Cosmic awareness + enhanced senses?
 
There is a very weird case of a character that technically exists and doesn't exist at the same time (Paradoxical existance) as a result of 2 timelines where that character existed in timeline A but was dead in Timeline B, but in the timeline C (A+B=C) that character moves behaves and can be interacted normally although occasionally suffers from temporary detachment from the timeline, changing events of the past can still affect them. Would this qualify for anything? And if this state was being kept by someone what would that be?

Can he smell others like this or just Kagome? Watched this verse long ago and forgot a lot of shit

No, this is just range feat for Enhanced Senses at best, Cosmic Awareness implies the character are aware of everything happen in the universe anytime they want, not simply smell someone in the future

Seems too weird to me to grant an ability, at best this is a very limited NEP3 with History Aspect

I could say some kind limited precog? Combined with enhanced senses. Cant really say it being just a range feat.

Nah, depend on the context of this feat, if it is just simply he can smell her blood without further elaboration, it isn't precog, just ranage with enhanced sense at best, we have character who can sense being across past, present and future and it is still simply extrasensory perception with low 2-C range

Nierre said:
Just her AFAIK
Click to expand...
Well, this is too bad, probably at best just enhanced sense with interdimensional range, or you can stretch this to low 2-c range
 
Been reading slop recently, does this grant anything to the soul, or is it just a nothing-burger?
The soul itself was a mysterious phenomenon. It governed everything tied to existence. Talent, compatibility, memory, physique, even one’s laws. Under normal circumstances, it could gradually adapt and reshape itself alongside the evolver.
Click to expand...
Laws in this world are both normal laws, and conceptual in nature as well (and maybe has info stuff, I'm not sure on that one)
 
How could we list something like a resistance to ghosts ?
When it was no more than a staff’s length away, it halted for a moment, at which point it became aware that I was not the easy victim it had anticipated. Nonetheless it attacked me, and I felt it place its cold fingers around my throat. It tried to choke me, but a seventh son of a seventh son has a degree of immunity and it lacked the strength to do me any serious harm.

The character here, John Gregory, possess the ability to be partially immune to supernatural elements like magic or demonic powers.

In that scene Gregory get attacked by a strangler ghost but the ghost is incapable of harming him partially because of his resistance to the supernatural.

That's probably invulnerability.
 
Weird ability that we don't have a proper P&A to index it, probably can list it as Limited Invulnerability
 
[Aether Perception] - Aether is the fundamental, infinite fluid that dictates the laws of all that exists. According to its configurations and associations, it creates the fundamental particles and vectors of all forces. Perceiving the aether is the right of every living being, but you have to know how to take that right.
Yesterday you were blind, today you see.
Click to expand...
[Aether Manipulation] - Manipulating aether is the key to the Zenith. Everything is possible with aether—even dominating Dimensions, Karma, Soul, Energy, Matter, Order and Chaos. To control the primordial fluid is to go beyond these Concepts. This skill knows no limits and its potential is infinite. The only limit to your power is your imagination.
Aether can be influenced, dominated, mastered and cajoled. Which path will you choose?

What would this be, and what would Aether in general be? Ie if someone manipulated it, or their skill used it, what would the Aether be classified as?

Honestly, this is once more a part of the system I think is ill-defined, but I'd just call it a fundamental energy that isn't conceptual or nomological but grounds and is more fundamental than those things (imagine for a second Energy from LITOW and Sword God)
Maybe one could call it info manip based on the "According to its configurations and associations, it creates the fundamental particles and vectors of all forces." bit and it dictates the laws of reality, but I'd disagree with that application personally
I'd honestly argue for a second it'd fit physics manip the best if physics wasn't well, physics, but it's the closest thing we have to a power connected to and over nature that isn't outright a theoretical metaphysics manip
Beyond that, I'd give all of that like
Enhanced Senses/ESP on all of what Aether is/encompasses for Aether Perception
Aether Manipulation I'd give energy manip (as that's what Aether is effectively by our system), and Concept, Law, Vector, Matter, Space, Fate/Causality (depends on what Karma is), Soul, and Chaos manip, elaborating in the justification that Aether is a fundamental energy which grounds, transcends, and is responsible for these things

The thing is, just like Energy from LITOW (iirc), even normal people with poor feats (9-B or smth) use Aether since it's everywhere and whatnot, and is the energy system, but I don't think we should give those characters things like Concept, Law, etc... if they haven't shown any of those?
I'm not sure if I understood you, honestly, but would this fit more like, if we mentioned those things, we should just mention that they are not necessarily combat-applicable for said character since they haven't shown anything of that caliber? And/or maybe adding NPI for those things with Aether?

I mean I'd give it to them in a limited capacity since it's the mechanics of the power, yeah, but it wouldn't mean that, for example, whenever someone resists something, they resist all of that automatically. I'd only give it to them if they resisted having "their own aether" being manipulated or whatnot

I remember DT was proposing some ability called "essence manipulation".
 
As she had bored in on the drop that caught her attention, it quickly separated into component molecules, to atoms of hydrogen and oxygen and from there to agglomerations of charms and quarks, muons and gluons. This was always more Hank’s side of the street than hers, and without conscious awareness she had plucked from him the information she needed to give names to what she beheld and provide a clue to the next destination on her journey.

Regarding the bolded text, is that just telepathy or could it also be some other ability?
 
BlackDarkness679 said:
A character thrusting their fist to blow sources of fire like candles or torches count as some limited air manipulation?
Click to expand...
Depends on the feats, either simply raw strength, or if they were actually generated gust of air to attack which can give you limited air manip
 
BlackDarkness679 said:
This counts as former or latter? There is also this now that I remembered, they dont aim for the building here
Click to expand...
The first clip seems like an intented move to create gust of air, so you can get limited or minor air manip from that. I think it is minor cause you only get limited from suing your move to create concentrated gust of air to actually damage your opponent (like Vegito feat in anime against Buuhan which i lost the clip bruhh) rather than just blowing out candles

The second clip is simply AP feat, as the gust of air was an indirect chain reaction from their powerful punches, it is like you don't get shockway generation simply because two powerful attacks connected and created an omnidirection shockwave

So you should use the first clip if you want the air manip
 
Would an attack/power from the past that can affect the future, would grant something or not?

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but if the attack happened in the past, and it somehow affected a future that was otherwise set in stone, I believe that'd be Causality Manip.

It's a bit more complicated.

Byakko can conjure and trap others within a space of his own creation. In this place, there are doors leading to traps, safe rooms, or memories of the past.

Fast-forwarding a bit, Douman kills Seimei and takes on his powers. He unleashes this power, affecting Sano and Haruaki (they’re from the future and, so far, haven’t been affected by anything from the past), at the same time that power maneged to affected Byakko's realm in the present wich caused it to collapse.

Bonus:

Then, Sano used his powers to finally destroy the space

I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself clearly and my first comment caused confusion.
