Danger Detection

Sign in to edit
"Calhoun had always had something of a sixth sense for danger....He'd even been tested for it at Starfleet Academy, and researchers had found nothing in particular. Calhoun's contention was that there was nothing to find because, during the research, no danger was present."
― Star Trek: New Frontier: Martyr
"I get these chills up and down my spine, and all of the sudden, it's as clear as day. That if I stay put, I'm dead."
― Kabuto Kirisaki (Psyren)
" Sorry, but tone it down a notch, will you? I'm sensitive against opponents who want to kill me. "
― Sung Jinwoo to Kang Taeshik (Solo Leveling)
"Amanogawa, if you keep ignorantly court danger without truly understanding the consequences involved. Even if you have a million lives, it won't be enough for you to survive all of them. "
― Hajime Nagumo (Arifureta Sekai Saikyou)
"Sometimes, you die without even knowing how"
― Jack Neo

Capabilities[]

The user can instinctively sense immediate or approaching threats, perceiving danger as a sudden shift in awareness that overrides all other distractions. This ability functions as an early warning system, alerting the user to harm before it manifests—be it a hidden trap, an incoming attack, or a subtle shift in someone’s intent. It doesn’t rely on sight, sound, or any of the traditional senses; instead, it pulses like a gut feeling, an undeniable surge of caution that pushes the user to react—duck, dodge, run, hesitate, or prepare.

The sense is almost precognitive, responding to intent or consequence rather than action alone. Even if a threat is obscured, silent, or seemingly harmless, the user perceives it with striking clarity, often in the form of a tightening chest, heightened reflexes, or even a flash of insight about where the danger lies. This awareness can encompass more than just personal harm—the user may feel when a room becomes unsafe, when someone else is about to be hurt, or when a seemingly ordinary situation begins to turn volatile.

In moments of high stress, this ability sharpens, enabling the user to react with inhuman precision and timing almost precognitive, as though guided by instinct alone. Whether navigating a battlefield, surviving a collapsing structure, or simply avoiding someone’s hidden malice, the user becomes a step ahead of fate—almost omniscient, and always warned.
