Illusion Awareness



The knowledge that one's existence is false.

Capability
Users are aware that their surroundings are false. This ability is usually the starting point for other powers. Some may only communicate with the outside world others may be able to break barriers and release themselves from the false world as well. Users under the veil of Illusion are aware they are in an illusion, but may not be able to release themselves.

Variations
•

Power Sensing, also called Power/Ability Detection or Power/Ability Sense is the superhuman ability to instinctively tell if another has a superhuman ability and to locate others with superhuman abilities. In some cases, one can even discern specifically what abilities a person has, and when a subject is using their powers. This usually entails telepathic detection of abilities, but sometimes it involves the detection of a superhuman aura or simply an intuitive superhuman faculty in which the user “just knows”.

• Another faculty (often included with Power Sensing) is the ability to gauge the strength of a subject’s abilities and/or to what degree they have control over their abilities (called Power Gauging).

Capability Sensing

• Capability Sensing, also called Capability Detection or Capability Sense a variation of Power Sensing, in which one (instead of sensing superhuman abilities) is able to psychically perceive subjects’ capability in normal faculties (what skills subjects possess; this does not include sensing the presence of superhuman abilities). Instead of sensing superhuman powers, the user could psychically perceive all the normal skills that a subject may have (the user could tell if someone was capable of doing a back flip, if they were strong or fast enough to perform a certain feat or the like). This ability may accompany normal Power Sensing.

• The user could also gauge someone’s proficiency at a certain task, like how good someone was at playing chess, how much weight someone could lift or how flexible someone was (this superhuman faculty is called Capability Gauging or Scanning), to see who is better at what, who is more likely to win what competitions, who is the best choice for a certain job, when a subject’s capabilities are being impaired by alcohol use or enhanced by drug use, and the like.

Sympathetic Power Sensing

• Sympathetic Power Sensing is a variation of normal Power Sensing in which the user can only sense others who possess the same abilities as the user. The user may be able to sense or locate others perhaps anywhere in the world, as long as they possess a superhuman ability similar to any of the user’s. One may be a vampire that can sense other vampires (a Vampire Sense), a therianthrope capable of sensing other therianthropes (a Therianthrope Sense), etc. However, sometimes, the user may just be able to sense other power sensors (Power-Sensor Perception).

As of yet, no one is known to possess this ability.
