Cosmic Sense

Cosmic Sense is an innate ability that allows its practitioners to sense cosmic forces and by doing so, perceive the physical world much more effectively.

## Cosmic Sense

### Label

Ability: Perceive cosmic energy and forces

#### Description

Cosmic Sense is an innate power, so any human is technically capable of learning or gaining access to it. However, it is a very rare and secretive ability that requires a great amount, effort, and sacrifice to gain.

Cosmic Sense allows its users to perceive cosmic forces and energies around them. This sensory ability has been likened to a sixth sense, as it is the user's spirit that senses the cosmic forces. By sensing cosmic forces (which is usually impossible to humans) the users of Cosmic Sense can gain a lot of information about everything around them. They are able to perceive disruptions and movements in cosmic forces and therefore are able to view the physical world through "new eyes" as the physical world is filled with cosmic forces. Users are also able to see and discern the presence of spirits and detect other cosmic phenomena such as cosmic wounds. Each user is also able to access an ability unique to themself which stems from cosmic sense.

#### Learning

The process of learning cosmic sense is relatively simple. The user must distance themself from their worldly troubles by meditating. By doing this for a long period of time, the user begins to perceive cosmic forces. This ability will only manifest if the user truly has a noble desire to gain the ability, implying that cosmic sense is gifted by some cosmic force or entity.

While numerous humans in history have been able to occasionally and faintly detect cosmic forces, none of them possessed the aptitude for it more than the users of cosmic sense.

After a long period of time (depending on the learner this step may take 8 months or up to 20 years) the user will be proficient in detecting and seeing cosmic forces through a newly developed sixth sense. The user then learns to use only cosmic sense to navigate the world and their surroundings. By feeling the vibrations, swirls, motions, ebbs and flows of cosmic energy the user is able to perceive their physical surroundings to a much greater degree than before. They are able to sense very small objects, faint noses, see through certain illusions and see in all directions.

Users of cosmic sense are encouraged to use it in conjunction with their physical senses as it will improve its effectiveness and also because cosmic sense can be overwhelmed by a massive influx of energy or can be disrupted or blocked by certain abilities or spells. Each user of cosmic sense also given a perceptive ability unique to only them.

### Users:

**Sanjuro Tamayo**: The first user and progenitor of cosmic sense. It is unknown how he learned the ability. Cosmic Sense granted him precognitive abilities.

**Alan Strong**: The last known user of cosmic sense. Strong learned the ability from an unknown master. Cosmic Sense granted him the ability to combine the life-force in his body and mix it with cosmic energy greatly increasing his physical and sensory capabilities. He is the only known user that cosmic sense did not grant just sensory abilities. It instead gave him a more physical ability.

**Felt:** Lived from 400-327 BC. Learned the ability from an unknown master. Cosmic Sense granted him the ability to memorize and copy the movements of others.

**Shinsing**: Lived about 800 years ago. Learned from his master Bill. Cosmic Sense granted him the ability to perceive the thoughts and intents of others.

**Victor Valkyrie**: Learned the ability through studying Bill's journal. Cosmic Sense granted him the ability to perceive his surroundings while moving at great speeds.

**Ross Fowler**: Learned the ability after observing and mimicking Victor Valkyrie. Cosmic Sense gave him the ability to detect the weaknesses ( physical, mental and spiritual) of others.
