"Talking with Rin is like playing chess with a supercomputer who does seemingly random moves as if to mock everything you know about chess. It's like that, but with human interaction. And even if I win, it feels like losing."
― Hisao Nakai (Katawa Shoujo)
"This is too weird.... Your mind is a web of madness!"
― Robin talking about Starfire's imagination (Teen Titans Go!)
"I'm...making him sane...but I can't hold it for long...his mind is like a storm raging..."

""Are we gonna need a protractor?" "No." "An abacus?" "Literally never." "A bag full of sausages?" "Man, I don't understand how your brain works.""

Capabilities

The inner workings of the user's mind differ greatly from what could be considered "normal" or "sane" by the standards of most living things. Possible causes include being descended from an eldritch being, suffering from severe mental problems or being infused with chaotic forces.

This condition has several beneficial effects, as the differences between the mind of the user and normal people give them immunity to mental or dream based powers of all kinds. Powers such as Telepathy or Mind Control will at best, not work on the user, and at worst, backfire. Anyone foolish enough to invade the user's Inner World will find it an uninhabitable deathtrap. Even using Mental Shield Penetration on the user can be dangerous as their thoughts might start leaking and infecting anyone nearby.
