Naturals

== Definition ==
'Natural' is a colloquial term used to describe rare individuals who possess the ability to perform quantum shifts without the need for much formal training.
Very little is known about Naturals, even by experts in Geneva ("Jilani"). The first Natural ever documented was Gaby Marshall ("And All That Could Have Been").
According to Adil Kurtuluş, there exist between 60 and 100 Naturals in existence as of 2019 ("Adam").
== Naturals and MCI ==
It is speculated that individuals suffering from mild cognitive impairment could potentially be Naturals; however this has seemingly been disproved with Agent Franklin of the London Sweeper Team, who suffered mild blackouts but has not been classified as a Natural. It is also speculated that these blackouts are a result of Naturals travelling unwittingly into the Void.
Upon making their first quantum shift, the brain is 'rewired', eradicating the blackout effects of MCI sufferers, as was the case with Sarah Cunnington.
== Abilities ==
Naturals are able to perform quantum shifts without the need for a Hub or any technology ("Home"). When Jack Harringer begins teaching Sarah Cunnington how to exploit this ability, he explains that, initially, it can occur during times of great emotional stress, but that it can be controlled ("Dubai").
Konstantin Denisov exhibited an extraordinary ability to also Jump with an entire car ("Virmayarvi"), something that Jack claimed he could not do.
During the climactic moments of the Black Dolphin mission, Jack and Konstantin engaged in a 'Jump-fight', wherein both made dozens of Jumps while fighting each other; this eventually concluded when Jack thrust Konstantin's knife into the same space that was immediately occupied by Konstantin's head, killing him instantly.

* Sarah Cunnington
* Jack Harringer
*Nicole Harris
*Gaby Marshall
*Konstantin Denisov (deceased)
=== Suspected Naturals ===
* Jarrad Foley (deceased)
== Unnaturals ==
Starting in April 2020 with Sebastián Marcos, the QIA began encountering 'manufactured' Naturals, which they determined to be a product of drug experimentation by Adil Kurtuluş and Sağlık Pharmaceuticals. These 'Unnaturals' (as first dubbed by Tom Burt) would later by united by Adam Solomon as his 'Family'.
=== Known Unnaturals ===
* Negar Boaz
* Michal Jachin
* Adam Solomon (deceased)
* Sebastián Marcos (deceased)
* Marcel Jobert (deceased)
* Selina Elmes (deceased)
* Colin Kimmel (deceased)
* Stefan Wieczorak (deceased)
* Benjamin Granger (deceased)
* Ricky Tulvin (deceased)
* Dawn Carter (deceased)
== Potential Future ==
In a future seen by both Gaby Marshall and Adam Solomon, in which Novus have assumed control over most of the world, specialists called Tracers have hunted down and executed almost all known Naturals by the year 2029. ("And All That Could Have Been")
