The ability to appear dead.

Also Called[]

  • Fake Death
  • Playing Dead
  • Thanatosis

Capabilities[]

The user can appear dead to all/every manner of detecting their state, altering the physical evidence surrounding their alleged death to make it appear real. This can be so powerful, that any manner of proof, such as medical equipment, will align with idea that the user is dead. This allows them to lull their enemies into a false sense of security, evade pursuit, and "disappear" from the world.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • User may have to rely on others to "wake them up" again.
  • Appearing dead to allies/friends may cause them pain unless they know that the user's death is fake.
    • Allies/friends thinking the user to be dead may also feel shocked and betrayed later on when they realize that the user didn't really die.
  • Enemies may carry on assaulting the user's body after its apparent death.
