Illusionary Projection

**Illusionary Projection**「幻想的な投影 *Gensō-tekina Tōei* 」 is a quirk that allows the projection of illusions into an animal's senses.

## Description

This quirk allows the user to 'launch' illusions into the nervous system of an animal, usually with the intent of fooling the affected's senses. It seems to only require a line of sight to activate.

The illusions vary in believability (B), which can be simplified as an arbitrary value in a range between 0 and 1. It seemingly takes some more focus and time from the user to create Illusions at a B closer to 1. After some testing, illusions with a B < 0.2 seem to be pretty much completely ineffective. However, they were also shown to be hard to do on purpose because of how quickly B rises that early on, meaning they aren't likely to show up in a fight anyway. They also proved to be more effective when the target was under stress, like in the middle of a fight for example (hint hint). Illusions with a B > 0.2, < 0.6 have shown to become much more effective very quickly. However, the affected realize the illusion is well, an illusion pretty quickly still. at a B > 0.6, time to project becomes much, much longer, and concentration does too. However, these illusions are very 'sticky'. They remain with the affected for dozens of seconds to even minutes.

Illusions with a higher B are stickier. They will remain believed by the target for longer. Nobody is truly immune to Illusionary Projection without a specific counter quirk. Because the quirk hijacks the mind, a person cannot just associate these Illusions as being fake when fighting the user, making this ability frightening. That said, Illusions with a lower B don't affect the brain as much, which is why they are less sticky, and the target adapt to them easier.

Illusions are most often Visual. But are absolutely not limited to that. They can vary from Auditory, Olfactory, Somatic, and the others. Because the brain likes to fill in senses when it sees stuff, Visual is often the most useful Illusion. Illusions are freely made by the Mind's eye of the user. The user will actually see the Illusions as well, however not only will they know they are Illusions, they appear ghostly and transparent to them.

### Weakness

The primary weakness of Illusionary Projection is that the Illusions require time to be effective. It's also a quirk that requires a lot of creativity. Illusions that are similar to one another being projected onto the same person lower their B.

## Usage

Illusionary Projection is mostly used alongside hand-to-hand combat. Fooling the opponent in order to gain an advantage. It's also used in Recon or interrogation. Making the target believe they are being asked a question by their Boss, for example.

### Named Super Moves

* **Complete Hypnosis** 「完全催眠術 *Kanzen Saimin-Jutsu* 」: The user targets a victim, and projects illusions onto every possible aspect of the target, from Vision to Memory. This is an immensely draining ability, as it consists of applying multiple Illusions at the same time, something that takes not only time and focus, but energy. It's very difficult for the user to even cast this move, and takes several minutes, if not dozens of minutes to complete.
