- "Don’t let your pursuit of trinkets cloud your reality. Remember what I taught you, general. If you are to succeed in combat against the best of the Jedi, you must have fear, surprise, and intimidation on your side; for if any one element is lacking, it would be best for you to retreat. You must break them before you engage them. Only then will you ensure victory... and have your trophy.”"
- ― Count Dooku to General Grievous (Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003)
The power to be a master of intimidation, either innately or through training. Variation of Intuitive Aptitude and Complete Mastery. Real world version of Fear Inducement.
Also Called[]
- Expert/Skilled/Master Intimidator
- Fear Intuition
- Intimidation Pressure (Kingdom)
- Intimidation Expertise/Intuition/Proficiency
Capabilities[]
The user is a master of intimidation and can use it to instill fear in their opponents and command respect from others. They can intuitively intimidate by any means and in the most effective ways possible, use anything at hand to do so and, have no mental/emotional issues or moral dilemmas either before, during or after the deed. The user has an intuitive mastery of the associated body language and choice of words subtly sending all the signals to others, completely breaking their wills and causing them to fully yield to the user.
Using this ability, the user can develop an incredibly dominant and intimidating personality and is capable of causing sudden and profound changes in others very quickly and easily. With enough time the user could dominate and intimidate anyone and bring them to be submissive towards users.
This is the ultimate intimidating mechanism, making it virtually impossible to be left unafraid by the user, since the user will automatically intimidate with perfect skill, technique, wording and timing. The users full and complete mastery in intimidation and anything related to intimidate makes the user the ultimate intimidator.
