"I've never once thought of you as an ally. Not you. Not Kushida. Not Hirata. All people are nothing but tools. It doesn't matter how it's done. It doesn't matter what needs to be sacrificed. In this world, winning is everything. As long as I win in the end...That's all that matters."
― Kiyotaka Ayanokouji (Classroom of the Elite)
"Shall I tell you something shocking? The god that you guys' worshiped Ehit and the god the demons were worshiping is actually one and the same god. In other words, all of you have been the worshiping the same evil bastard who is telling you to fight and kill each other without ever realizing it!"
― Hajime Nagumo to Liliana S. B. Heiligh about Ehit (Arifureta Sekai Saikyou)
"What's the line? "Saving people, Hunting things...the Family business." Well, I think the people you save, they're how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you've caused! The one thing that allows you to sleep at night, the one thing is knowing that these folks are out there, still out there happy and healthy because of you...You great, big, bloody heroes."
― Crowley to Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernatural: S8E22 Clip Show)
"To the cowards quaking behind the police department's walls: You will not be spared. And to Batman: I have already won. Emptied your city with a vial of toxin and a few threatening words. That's how little the safety you provided was worth. And when the dawn comes...when Gotham lies in ruins and I turn my gaze to the world beyond...the legend of the Batman will be worth nothing at all.""
― Scarecrow (Arkham Knight)
"People who never experienced joy and people who never experienced suffering have different values. Sometimes you must be hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to understand. Because Life’s Greatest Lessons Are Learned Through Pain."
― Nagato (Naruto)
"Those who are too smart will hurt themselves; those who delve too deeply will reach foolishness; those who criticize others do not know their own faults"
― Lao Zi, Founder of Taoism

Capabilities[]

The user, either innately or through training, is a master of psychology and can use it for various purposes, often by changing the perception or behavior of others through underhanded, deceptive, or even abusive tactics. Users also have a mastery of the associated speech and body language, expertly sending all the right signals. Granting the user major leverage in any social situation and allowing them to easily wrap anyone around their little finger in a matter of moments and easily forging a potentially fanatical level of trust and devotion in whoever they exert these talents on.

User can psychologically influence other so flawlessly that the person does not even realize they are being influenced and even when they do realize, they cannot break free. Each psychological technique the user utilizes will be objectively and unanimously perfect in every facet aspect and detail. Each psychological technique the user utilizes will be an immediate unmatched success in every way.

This is the ultimate psychological mechanism, since the user will automatically influence with perfect skill, technique, and timing. The users full and complete mastery in psychology and anything related to psychology makes the user the ultimate psychologist.

Using this ability, the user can develop an incredibly charismatic personality and is capable of causing sudden and profound changes to the psychological state of others very quickly and easily. With enough time the user could change anyone's views on anything. More benevolent users may use it to help those with mental or emotional problems, while the more malevolent users may use it to manipulate others into doing their bidding, or even drive some to acts of murder or suicide.

  • Both of us trying to find meaning in a meaningless world! Why be a disfigured outcast when I can be a notorious Crime God? Why be an orphaned boy when you can be a superhero?
