Extraordinary Abilities

## Information

***Extraordinary Abilities*** are defined as any supernatural abilities possessed by an individual, human or unusual, that would otherwise be impossible to demonstrate by the average person. There are hundreds of extraordinary abilities that exist throughout the world, some more powerful than others. It is also possible to harbor multiple abilities at once.

Abilities that an individual harbors are designated by the presence of a mark(s) beneath the palm of either hand. Depending on what this mark displays, the individual will possess some type of ability(s) corresponding to it. Most marks allow the individual to utilize most if not all of the abilities and sub-abilities that are associated with the mark. For example, if an Extraordinary Individual has the Mark of a Ninja Gi, signifying Enhanced Martial Arts, they will also possess enhanced evasiveness and acrobatics.

However, despite being able to utilize the abilities associated with each mark, one must acquire those abilities through consistent practice and training.

Below is a list of well-known abilities as seen throughout the novel and their corresponding marks. The list will be updated consistently as new mechanics are introduced.

## Influence of Eye Color

There are different abilities that can be heightened/improved depending on the wielders eye color. In fact, eye color can tell you a lot about a person and what their strengths and weaknesses may be. Below is a list of all known eye color influences. Most of the time, eye color simply boosts a different sense, from things such as sight, hearing, smell, and even "sixth senses" such as feeling nearby presences. Eye color is randomly determined at birth, but can be affected by the eye colors of the parents of the individual.

**Brown:** Increased sense of smell, allowing you to pick up the scents of demons easier, can also provide a slight increase in night vision, making seeing in the dark somewhat easier.

**Beige:** Increased heat tolerance, allowing you to survive in extreme climates much easier. Common in inhabitants of The Vernati Desert, both human and unusual. Most-likely a result of long-term adaption overtime to the environment.

**Black:** Provides exceptional night vision, more so than brown eyes. Also makes it difficult to tell where the individual is looking, as the pupils are well-hidden.

**Blue:** Provides you with an increased tolerance for cold temperatures, as well as an increase in lung capacity, allowing you to hold your breath for significantly longer than others. Excellent for swimming.

**Red:** Increased physical striking power and attack speed, provides you with enhanced strength, allowing you to hit your targets harder and faster.

**Green:** Increased vitality, allowing you to heal more rapidly and survive life-threatening circumstances.

**Teal:** Increased Intelligence, you are naturally gifted and intuitive. This can extend along a wide range, from slightly increased intellect to genius-level knowledge.

**Yellow:** Increased sense of sight, allowing for crystal clear vision. Your vision cannot deteriorate, meaning you will always have 20/20 vision, or in some cases, beyond 20/20. Sometimes noted to allow the wielder to view distant objects easily, up to many miles away.

**Golden:** Increased fear factor, those who gaze into your eyes will tremble in fear and become riddled with anxiety. Great for taking control during battles but unfortunately an extreme hindrance to socializing.

**Orange:** Increased valor, your fighting spirit is unbreakable, and your willpower to continue is immense. It's hard to demotivate you, and you will always fight on regardless of circumstance.

**Purple:** Increased intuition, you understand how to get out of situations easily and make the best use of what you have. You also pick up on battle strategies quickly and can learn new things faster than others.

**Lavender:** A mix of purple and pink's abilities, leaning toward purple rather than pink.

**Magenta:** A mix of purple and pink's abilities, leaning toward pink rather than purple.

**Pink:** Increased foresight, you can detect incoming attacks easier and dodge them effortlessly. Also may provide extra acrobatic ability, making moving around efficiently much easier.

**Gray:** Refusal to die, the second rarest eye color. Your body will attempt to keep you alive by any means necessary, even in the most dire of circumstances. It will take a massive amount of effort to bring you close to death. This is a greatly improved version of the green eye ability.

**Silver:** Increased weakness perception, you can find weaknesses in your enemies easier and figure out how to fight them effectively.

**White:** Only possessed by Tamashi, abilities unknown.

**Rainbow:** Rainbow eyes are the rarest type of eye color, and provide you with every single ability listed above, making them easily the most powerful eye color. Akujin is a well-known possessor of this color.
