Karma (Johanverse)/Types

A **Karmic** ( *カルマ*, lit. Karuma), formerly known as a Special Ability, is a superhuman ability that a person who was born with Karma on them can possess when they reach the age of 6 to 10 if they have a natural born Karma, and if they are using an artificial Karma, they can gain a Karmic at any point in their life.

Along with being unique to each user, Karmic is sorted into multiple categories. Karmic users are also limited to only developing one ability and are thus unable to achieve any other through natural means, but the user can train this Karmic of them to a higher degree, such as having the ability to project cold, and then training it to the point to be able to freeze thing faster.

**Prarabdha, Sanchita,** and **Agami**, those three are the types of Karmic abilities that all humans would end up distributed into.

## Karmic Types

Karmic come in a very wide variety, they are unique to each individual. However, Karmic can be divided into categories based on what they do and how they function, known as Karmic types. Some Karmic cause a permanent physical abnormality to the user's body, known as Prarabdha-Type. Some cause the user's body to undergo a temporary physical abnormality when the power is used, known as Sanchita-type. Finally, some karmikdon't cause any abnormalities to the user's physical body at all, known as Agami-type.

## Basic Information

Karmic abilities are said to be the next stage of the evolution of the human race. It is possible, though rudimentary, to diagnose a person as possessing or lacking a Karmic by analyzing the presence or absence of an extra organ inside their body near their heart that was later classified as Karma, People who are born with this organ tend to develop Karmic abilities, while born without one mean that they are just a normal powerless being.

A Karmic manifestation tends to happen very suddenly, often to the said Karmic owner's surprise. Minato Arisato's Manifestation Karmic first manifested in the middle of the night when he make a coffee, and this manifestation resulted in mass panic in the city where he dwell into, that said, there can be precursors to a Karmic manifesting as well, such as when Touta Konoe feeling a sudden pain in every part of his body before his Regeneration Karmic fully manifested.

While Karmic is unique from person to person, some powers are more common and widespread than others, such as enhanced speed, flight, and even regeneration. On the other hand, Karmic with some exotic background, such as Soul Manipulation, Spatial and Temporal manipulation, or even Ideology Manifestation are very rare.

Furthermore, not all Karmic are singular abilities, as there are some that can have multiple powers. Beryl Greats Karmic allows him to transform into a werewolf-like creature that gave him enhanced strength, speed, durability, regeneration, some partial blood manipulation, sound manipulation in the form of his howl, and even X-ray vision and combat skill mimicry. In rarer cases, a single Karmic can take the form of multiple abilities that are completely different from each other, giving the impression of having more than one Karmic.

The body of a Karmic user has natural adaptations to protect itself from any damage the Karmic might do to them without these natural defenses. For example, someone who can breathe fire does not burn their mouth when using their ability. However, there are instances where a person has a Karmic that's so powerful it literally destroys their body apart from just simply using it, one example is Douglas Bullet, he would usually be fine if he manipulate gravity below the level of 100 Million times the original amount, but if he goes further beyond than that, it would crush his body apart, since his Karmic work by putting him into the same gravity influence that he put others though (In short, if he increases the gravity to 10.000 times toward person A, he would also feel the weight of gravity on him increased by 10.000 times)

## Heredity

Karma is inherited genetically through what appears to be Mendelian inheritance. A child will either inherit the father's Karma, the mother's Karma, or a completely new Karma formed by a fusion of the two. this causes the child of two Karma user to have the Karmic of either their parent, or something that resemble them, For example, Fu Fang Apocalypse inherited his original Karma, and at a later stage, his mother, Fu Hua Karma also added to his gene pool, making the Karmic that he originally has (Boundless Vitality from Johannes, turned into Phenex Reborn after the fusion with Fu Hua Phenex Karmic)

Naturally, since Quirks are inherited genetically, siblings tend to have Quirks that are similar to each other (Both Fu Fang and Fu Fei for example have Boundless Vitality).
