## Appearance

Amari Kageyama is a half-black half-japanese woman standing at 5'9". She has brown eyes, golden brown skin, and blue hair. Since she was fifteen, her hair has been styled in locs, and as suck, are to the middle of her back. Often times she will style her hair either into twin buns, a singular bun, or down in casual clothing.

While she works, she often wears jeans and a loose shirt, though she has worn sweatpants and a loose shirt around campus before. Ideally, it's not the most professional, but it's for her own comfort.

*Unfortunately, there isn't a model to match how she looks. Instead, I'll put in an Artbreeder render of her.*

## Personality

To many people, Amari can come off as cold or closed-off. This is due to her emotional suppression. However, as she begins to warm up to people, she will begin expressing a bit of emotion, but not too much as it would activate her powers. It's because of this she cannot fully comprehend the emotional states of others.

This often leads people to believe she is an asshole, but that is not the case. Because she was never raised to have a happy childhood, seeing other people happy around her was strange. Of course, she has learned to read people's emotions, as she has empathic abilities. However, due to an empathic inhibitor in her mind, she cannot manipulate her own emotions to truly sympathize with other people.

Unfortunately, this comes from her father, as does most of her mental setbacks are, but she has since learned to go around it. One way she fully expresses herself without words is through music. She can play the violin, viola, cello, bass, bass guitar, electric guitar, and acoustic. Her mother was the one to teach her to express herself through other forms of entertainment rather than keeping it bottled in.

Despite her mother's wishes, Amari continues to bottle in some of her emotions as her father taught her to keep them to herself.

## Abilities and Powers

### Jujutsu:

**Immense Cursed Energy:**  Because she is Gojo's loophole, her power matches his power exactly, or so people think. Her father taught her to hone in on her abilities to the absolute maximum. Because of her immense power channeled, she can expand her domain multiple times a day. Compared to Gojo, she would be his complete opposite.

**Reverse Cursed Technique:**  As her father taught her cursed energy, he taught her reverse cursed energy. This helped her to heal herself after initially training with her father. There's a story behind it: When she was 16, her father pissed her off to the point she wanted to fight him. However, because of her arrogance in her powers, she lost and was beaten half to death. This was the first time she tapped into her reversed cursed technique to heal herself fully.

**Black Flash:**  This is a technique creating spatial distortion when a user connects with an impact of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. The phenomenon causes cursed power to flash back, creating a more potent attack to the power of 2.5 of a normal hit. Because she has never kept up with her power, she is unaware of how many times she has performed it effortlessly.

### Inherited Technique:

**ESPer abilities:**  Due to her mother's heritage, and how she is a descendent of Shigeo Kageyama, she has immense abilities dealing with her mind. The powers from her being a descendent of an ESPer include (in no particular order): Psionics, Forcefield Generation, Curses and Spiritual Awareness, Physical Strength Enhancement, Energy Transfer, Exorcism, Mind/Emotional Sharing, Astral Projection, Curse Removal, Chlorokinesis, Size Augmentation, Space/Air Manipulation, Possession/Mind Resistance, and the two abilities she can only access under certain circumstances can she generate vibrations and control technology.

* **Spiritual Awareness:**  Amari can see spirits and curses invisible to the naked eye. With little effort, she can harm them and weaken their abilities. Her power also allows her to sense other cursed energy users, including when she met Nanami for the first time.
* **Forcefield Generation:**  Amari can create powerful forcefields nigh impenetrable. The forcefields she creates are nothing in comparison to the impenetrable, and constantly active, forcefield she has on herself.
* **Physical Strength Enhancement:** In terms of fights, she can channel both cursed energy and psionic abilities.
* **Energy Transfer:** Amari can transfer her powers to both jujutsu sorcerers and non-jujutsu sorcerers. She has done this to protect her mother from a grade two, and in turn, left an imprint only seeable by those with cursed energy.
* **Mind/Emotional Sharing:**  This is more of a side-effect of absorbing energy from others. In turn, she can feel the emotions from those she absorbed and alter them for a limited amount of time.
* **Astral Projection:**  Amari can separate her soul from her body, and can do the same to anyone else. However, a downside to doing this leaves her physical body vulnerable. Her spiritual body, however, can reduce curses and spirits to shreds and can bring spirits and curses back to full strength.
* **Curse Removal:**  Amari can remove curses placed on people. This includes things such as sleeping curses, death curses, anything of the sort.
* **Chlorokinesis:**  This gives Amari the ability to grow and manipulate plants to do her bidding. It is one of the many signs of her being a Kageyama, given that she is the only woman able to do it currently.
* **Possession/Mind Resistance:**  Because of her psionic abilities, Amari can resist all forms of possession. This was shown at age 14 when a grade 3 spirit wandered into her home and tried to possess her. She is also able to protect people from possession, as that same grade 3 tried to possess her mother moments later.
* **Vibration Generation (???%):**  Amari entered a mode in her mind only accessible when her mother was murdered in front of her when she was 17. This same distress led to her quaking the entire building to ash and dust. When her father came back to their home and he saw what she'd done. This caused her father to place a series of mental barriers to avoid her from reaching this state again.
* **Technological Control (???%):**  Also when her mother was murdered, everything technological to go through a complete blackout. This was one of the first causes for people to look into the source of the vibrations and the technological reset. Though it only happened for a night, it made the news by the next morning and wouldn't disappear.
* **Size Augmentation:** Amari can change the size of inanimate objects and her own body. However, after three hours, it must be returned to normal before it is considered permanent.

**Psionics:**  This ability is more of an umbrella, as it grants the user telekinesis, telepathy, foresight, hindsight, empathy, and other vast abilities. As she has telepathy, telekinesis, and empathy, she can manipulate the energy behind it. This gives her more versatility to use her abilities as she desires.

**Psionic Energy Manipulation:**  Amari can manipulate psionic energy for various purposes.

* **Psychic Energy Absorption:**  She can absorb psionic energy from other living beings, able to convert cursed energy into psionic energy, and manipulate the converted energy freely.
* **Psychic Energy Solidification:**  She can solidify psionic energy into weapons, which explains why she never has to carry any sort of cursed object on her being. She can infuse cursed energy into each weapon she creates, though it takes more focus and can drain her quicker.
* **Psionic Armor:**  She can form psionic armor around her body, which is on par with Gojo's limitless technique. It acts as an impenetrable barrier which she can form around herself and anyone else.
* **Psionic Weapons:**  Amari can form psionic weapons and infuse them with cursed energy to create something as solid as real weapons. However, it is more durable than the cursed objects already created.
* **Psionic Energy Materialization:**  She can create perfect replicas of normal matter through psionic energy. She has recreated a couple of things, and though they require attention when first produced, they can easily continue existing without her aid.

**Psychometry:**  Amari can read imprints left by others, including both cursed imprints and those left by psionics. However, because the Kageyamas are the only family known with psychic abilities, she never had a reason to use the abilities. That was changed when she met Itadori Yuuji, specifically when she heard Sukuna's voice in her mind.

* **Precognition:**  If Amari were in a state to let her mind be vulnerable, she could see into the future for anything major. This could include large-scale attacks, but it could also be simple moves she couldn't predict. The only major drawback of precognitions is how much of an emotional impact they may have. This can lead to her powers being affected, and will likely have to be sedated until it passes.
* **Retrocognition:**  As with Precognitions, if Amari were to open her mind to the past, she could be able to learn the past and use it to connect to precognitions. This would be a serious issue to her emotional state, as it would make her relive the past events as though she was there. There is a reason she emotionally suppresses herself and having either of them could cause an emotional explosion. This would lead to a powerful explosion.

**Memory Manipulation:**  She can manipulate, fabricate, erase, suppress, influence, restore, detect, and view memories as she wishes.

* **Memory Reading:**  The ability to read memories from someone else's mind or her own.
* **Memory Implantation:**  The ability to implant false memories into someone's mind.
* **Memory Projection:**  The ability to project her memories or someone else's memories into real life. She uses surrounding matter like dirt to make it project into 3D.
* **Memory Recall:**  She can recall either her memories or someone else's memories.
* **Memory Overload:**  The ability to flood the mind of someone with their traumatic memories of the past. This is mainly used to distract someone long enough to get away from them.
* **Memory Exchange:**  The ability to exchange memories between herself and someone else or two people.
* **Memory Restoration:**  The ability to restore suppressed memories or piece together partial memories.
* **Memory** **Detection:** The ability to detect someone's memories or detect her own from her subconscious.
* **Memory Absorption:**  The ability to absorb someone else's memories.
* **Memory Fabrication:**  The ability to create false memories in either her mind or someone else's.
* **Memory Transferal:**  The ability to transfer memories between two or more people.

**Empathy:**  Amari can alter someone's emotions, sensations, and feelings of other people. She can do it to help, but also to harm.

**Telepathy:**  Amari can read the thoughts of someone, broadcast either her thoughts or someone else's, and can speak to all forms of nonhuman creatures. This is considered an umbrella ability, given as she can do multiple things because of it.

* **Telepathic Defense:**  Because she can defend her mind, she can do numerous things with both her mind and her cursed energy.
* **Telepathic Cloak:**  The ability to mask her presence from the minds of others. This is done by sensory manipulation and connecting with their mind. This is only done if she is on the run from someone or if she needs to disappear.
* **Cloak Mind:**  She can cloak someone else by rewriting their mental vibrations, which alerts someone if they can use cursed energy freely.
* **Psychic Shield:**  She can create a psychic shield within the minds of others to protect them from being possessed and manipulated.
* **Telepathic Illusions:**  She can create illusions and cause people to experience things not currently happening. She only does this to avoid confrontation over a topic.
* **Telepathic Camouflage:**  She can alter her physical appearance by altering everyone else's perceptions of her.
* **Telepathic Manipulation:**  She can manipulate other people's minds easily.
* **Personality Alteration:**  The ability to alter the minds of people as if to reset them completely. This causes their personality to change entirely.
* **Mental Paralysis:**  The ability to mentally paralyze someone, which affects them physically.
* **Telepathic Tracking:**  The ability to track someone by their thoughts. They don't have to have a mental mark to be tracked.
* **Mental Amnesia:**  The ability to erase one's awareness of something, either partial or total.
* **Mind Transferal:**  The ability to transfer her mind into someone else's.
* **Trauma Erasure:**  The ability to completely erase trauma from one's mind.
* **Mental Sedation:**  Much like paralysis, but it doesn't last as long. Amari doesn't have to worry about lifting the sedation, as it would wear off themselves.
* **Power Dilation:**  The ability to prevent someone from using their abilities. It would only last as long as she willed it to be.
* **Mind Link:**  The ability to bond two or more minds together. This gives them freelanced telepathic communication between one another but does not grand their telepathy.
* **Psychic Blast:**  The ability to blast someone with a telepathic force. This wouldn't physically affect them but would affect their mind.

**Telekinesis:**  Because of Kageyama Shigeo being her ancestor, she has very fine control over objects, people, and anything that comes to mind down to the subatomic level.

* **Telekinetic Force Manipulation:**  Amari can control the purest form of, the generation and manipulation of telekinetic force itself. Consequently, the potential applications are much fewer and more limited than Telekinesis, but what is often lost in subtlety, precision, and dexterity is gained in sheer power. Thus, she cannot perform complex telekinetic operations, like manipulating matter and energy at an atomic level, which is limited to more basic applications. However, they are performed with overwhelming power.
* **Matter** **Transmutation:** She can manipulate and transmute matter on a sub-atomic level (eg, turning wood into gold, plant into a crystal, and cause physical bodies to disintegrate by altering their molecular structure, etc).
* **Telekinetic Weapons:**  She can create psionic weapons and constructs out of psychic energy that damage a target either physically, mentally, or both at some point.
* **Plant Manipulation:** She can manipulate all forms of nature to her liking by sending a strong telekinetic signal to all plantlife around her.
* **Molecular Filter:**  Amari can fine-tune force fields for specific types of matter to either block said specific matter or allow only it through her shields. For example, she was able to stop oxygen from reaching a person, separate smoke from the air, block pheromones from entering the body, etc.
* **Telekinetic Deflection:**  She can deflect and/or redirect attacks, like projectiles, away from himself. Her control and power are so great and finely tuned, that instead of stopping an explosion like most telekinetics tend to do, she simply curved the energy of the shock-wave and the exploding shrapnel around her.
* **Concussive Blasts:**  She can project telekinetic energy as powerful beams from her eyes, hands, or entire body, that could affect matter with concussive and/or explosive force.
* **Telekinetic Flare:**  Amari is also able to create devastating Omnidirectional blasts of energy, powerful enough to instantly blow up entire buildings, and even destroy the special house her father created that was considered to be able to withstand the strongest of attacks. One of her strongest flares created a huge rift in the ground a few miles in size. She could potentially create so powerful a flare that could destroy half the planet or more.
* **Intangibility:**  Can phase through solid matter by mentally shifting his molecules around another object's as he moves forward.
* **Cosmic-level Telekinetic blast:**  She can create a blast of psychic energy powerful enough to affect Sukuna while he is not in control of Yuuji's body. She can alter the blast to not affect Itadori while simultaneously hitting the cursed spirit.

**Psychic Syphoning:**  Amari can drain others' cursed energy to enhance her psionic powers.

* **Psionic Drain:** The ability to drain someone of their cursed or psychic energy via psionics.

**A Loophole**: are understandable ways for Nature to balance out the existence or the excess of the Universal Lifeforms, and there is almost always a loophole for Nature to use in all magical creations. This is especially true with regards to power, as Nature has always decreed that all living things must die. They can also be natural occurrences created by Nature to serve as balance to the existence of something that goes against its laws.

In this case, a loophole of someone would be another person with certain opposite characteristics of someone with an equal or higher amount of power. This excess power is Nature's way to make sure in case anything happens, the opposite has enough power to get rid of the other. This is why both the person and their loophole share birthdays down to the time. Originally, Shigeo Kageyama served as Sukuna's loophole, which he died at the same time Sukuna did to keep the King of Curses dead. This worked, though his fingers still remained.

A thousand years later, Yuuji is born as Sukuna's doppelgänger, which Amari is the first to notice. The Higher Ups at Jujutsu High-College decided to regard her as Sukuna's loophole due to her being a direct descendent of Shigeo.
