Capabilities[]

Users are proficient in using parkour in the pinnacle of human capability, which can be summed up as acrobatics meets assault courses or skateboarding without a board. It is based on general principles of survival: should one ever need to get from one point to another in a complex environment without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. The goal, therefore, is seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagine the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.

Limitations[]

Some terrains could be hard or even impossible to parkour.
Effecting the user's vision/proprioception can disable or weaken said power.
Like all physical powers a user will usually slow down and become less effective with age (starting in mid-30s or so, in most verses) unless they are an Old Prime or have some other superhuman ability to counter the ageing process.
