Capabilities

The user can perform short "dashes" in any medium, whether on the ground, or in the water or even in the air, making short bursts of speed as they go along in their movement. While most dashes move the user in a straight line, they can potentially control it enough to be able to change direction while dashing, dash at an angle, bounce off surfaces, break their falls, add spins to their movements, dash multiple times in quick succession or even extend the duration and distance of a single dash. These dashes can also typically be used both defensively and offensively, allowing the user to possess immense force behind their movements, increasing the affect of their impacts to either damage a target or to boost their speed even further.
