Abilities

In order to make sure that Human characters are not too overpowered by Nonhuman characters, Human's will be allowed to have abilities. However, there are strict rules governing these.

• These abilities are for pure Humans only. They do not apply to Demons, Angels, or Shinigami, since these races already have inhuman abilities. Likewise, since they are bonded to one of these inhuman beings, Humans with contracts may not possess any of these special abilities.
  
  
• Any one human may only possess 1 of these abilities, and no more.
  
  
• These abilities are simply regular human abilities, but amplified so that they are nearly inhuman. This does not mean that Humans will be allowed any Super powers. Below are two lists; one of allowed abilities and one of prohibited ones. Of course, not all abilities will be covered by this list. If you have an ability in mind, and you are unsure if it would be allowed or not, put it into your profile anyway. I will then let you know if it is allowed or not.
  
  
• Allowed
  ~ Super Strength (Example: Finny from the series.)
  
  ~ Super Sight (Ex: Maylene from the series.)
  
  ~ The Hand of God (Ex: Agni from the series. Grants the user strength and speed in that hand, as well as certain mind-clearing and cleansing abilities.)
  
  ~ Partial Telepathy (That is, the ability to read strong emotions, to catch a liar in the act, the ability to read people well through emotions, facial appearance. Can also apply to the ability to sense that one is more than human; that is, being able to detect Demons, Angels, and Shinigami. Note: This is not Mind-reading, and such use of this ability will not be allowed.)
  
  ~ Temperature Control (The ability to control, to a degree, the temperature in one's body. This is for self-use only. Useful if one is trapped in the bitter cold or raging heat. Cannot be used to completely avoid death in these situations, but can help one survive longer than most humans would.)
  
  ~ Partial Manipulation (The ability to partially manipulate people. This means that one's voice may have some sort of manipulating affect on others. It may calm when they are agitated, anger when they are calm, comfort when they are scared, or intimidate when you need them to do what you want. Note: This is not mind control, nor is it permission to God-mod. You are free to have NPC's fall prey to your manipulation, but other true characters may choose to ignore it at will. There will be no "speaking through thoughts" to a character you are trying to control. This relies on tone of voice and ability to manipulate with words alone.)
  
  ~ Mind Clearing: (This is for self-use Only. The ability to keep one's mind clear and blank when the defense is needed. Especially useful against the cloying and sugared words of Demons and Angels. Also grants one the ability to stay calm in the face of danger, fear, or anger. Those with this ability tend to be much more even-tempered than other humans.)
  
  
• Prohibited Abilities
  
  ~ True Telepathy (That is, the ability to read minds, plant ideas into minds, or to control others through their minds.)
  
  ~ Elemental Control (There will be no bending or manipulation of elements.)
  
  ~ Telekinesis (There will be no moving of objects with one's mind.)
  
  ~ Flight (Humans cannot fly.)
  
  ~ Invisibility (Humans cannot become invisible.)
  
  ~ X-ray Vision (Humans cannot see through clothing, objects, or people.)
  
  ~ Healing (Humans cannot heal others through magic.)
  
  ~ Invincibility (Humans are not invincible.)
  
  ~ Pretty much any kind of Super-Hero or Magical power that defies physics.
  

Interests and Skills

Note: These are simply skills and interests that a human may have that they are talented at. There are no real limits to these, and any human may have them. Demons, Shinigami, and Angels may have interest and skills as well, although it really only makes sense that they'd be good at them. This is really more for Human use than anything else.

• Skills are unlimited, but make sure you do not make your character a mary-sue or Gary-stu, as these characters are no fun. It is best to limit yourself within your character's personality.
  
  
• Skills and interests include things such as Hunting, Archery, Painting, Singing, Writing, and other such hobbies.
  
  
• Realize that if you list something in this section, that means your character is good at this skill. Do not post things they simply like doing, that is best left for the Personality section.
