Instinctive Reaction

== Summary ==
Instinctive reaction ability refers to a character's innate capacity to respond to stimuli or threats without conscious thought. This concept is often used to showcase a character's heightened senses, combat skills, or supernatural awareness.
instinctive reaction is the immediate, reflexive response to an external event. It's not a learned behavior but rather an automatic action that occurs in a split second. This can be likened to the real-world fight-or-flight response, where the body reacts to danger before the mind has time to process the situation fully.
Instinctive reaction ability can be portrayed in fiction in these following types:
Type 1 (Sensory Trigger): The character perceives a threat through heightened senses, such as hearing a faint noise or seeing a slight movement in their peripheral vision. This sensory input triggers an immediate response.
Type 2 (Reflexive Action): The character's body responds with a reflexive action. This could be a defensive maneuver, like a parry or dodge, or an offensive move, such as a counterattack. The key is that the character does not consciously decide to act; their body moves on its own.
Type 3 (Supernatural Awareness): In some cases, the instinctive reaction might stem from a supernatural or superhuman ability. A character with precognition, for example, might instinctively react to an event before it happens, or a character with a magical connection to their environment might respond to disturbances in the magical field.
Type 4 (Emotional Response): Sometimes, the instinctive reaction is tied to an emotional state. A character might instinctively lash out in anger or protectively jump in front of a companion without thinking.
