elements or something (turnabout powers au part 3)
character info (minor spoilers):
godot:
-he can intensify/diminish the different colors of light perceived by someone--it’s like suddenly wearing glasses with a colored lens
-this only works on one person at a time because he’s essentially forcing them to see absorbed light
klavier:
-his power lets him freely manipulate any metal. natural metals are easier to control than alloys
-all of his accessories are silver, the metal he’s most comfortable with (he made them himself)
-he can draw material out of the ground as long as he’s close enough. the amount of metal and his proximity factor into whether or not this is possible (more metal = stronger pull)
mia:
-like sholmes her body becomes intangible, but unlike sholmes her form can’t disperse (it’s shadow)
-she doesn’t survive redd white’s attack because he blinds her before she activates her power
larry:
-he actually just turns into air, making him completely invisible and untouchable, but this can’t be sustained for more than a few seconds so it seems like he can teleport a short distance away
-he does need to rest a little bit between every use of his power
kristoph:
-magma’s kinda like him and the way he holds a grudge: slow and patient and destructive under the surface
-it’s always there.
fulbright:
-....pretty self-explanatory
-this isn’t the same as using the wind to fly, because he has less/no control over direction and speed while in the air
gregson:
-he can mute the sounds other people make, but this is limited to 2-3 people at a time
-it puts targets in a pocket of air that blocks out sound
badd:
-there’s literally an aura of dense air that surrounds him, which can expand to cover an area approximately 20ft in diameter
-it’s enough to stop someone from moving and/or bring them to their knees
nahyuta:
-with white fire his flames burn hotter than phoenix’s
-inherited from dhurke
-claims they’re “purified”, proof that what he’s doing as prosecutor is just--and apollo calls bullshit, because he’s here in khura’in trying to save his brother (“ga’ran’s orders aren’t justified by your white flames. they’re the burning spirit of your father, nahyuta, you can’t have forgotten that!!”)
maria:
-base water is her power but she prefers ice and uses it almost exclusively
-dr. sithe doesn’t have a power, so it was inherited from her father
-the ice scalpels and other tools are for show. they’re still dangerous as weapons but they’re not useful for operations
gina:
-uses air to grab things (it looks like telekinesis)
-the heavier an object, like karuma, the more difficult it is to move
lang:
-it’s basically advanced hearing, but technically he’s using the wind to carry sound waves to him, which lets him eavesdrop on conversations from a really safe distance
-if a target is outside and lang is inside (or vice versa), he can still listen in as long as there’s an open window
lamiroir:
-her preferred use of her power is to create special light effects during her performances
-it’s more of a feeling, since she can’t see, but the lights are always gentle and warm
lana:
-normal fire, like apollo
-she rarely displays her power, especially after she becomes chief prosecutor. kind of like the weight of guilt extinguished her flames.
stronghart:
-he uses gravity to force people down. there’s not much more to it than that x)
clay:
-clay’s control over gravity only affects parts of his body rather than all of it (so he can’t float). unlike fulbright he’s able to increase gravity
-he can make his limbs feel heavier/lighter, which makes his punches really hurt
-he’s near impossible to knock over when he increases the gravity on his legs/feet
iris wilson:
-her power is the same as gumshoe’s but it’s much stronger to the point that it allows her to manipulate plants too
-she treats her plants like friends, thanking them for grabbing things for her, apologizing for having them reach so far, and so on
-inherited from her mother
klint:
-while barok’s power is specialized air, klint’s is an air/dark fusion
-it repels/attracts metallic objects much more easily, but it does work on non-metallic things (it’s just less forceful)
ema:
-humidity control is a specialized water power
-affects things within a 7ft radius of her. if something leaves the AoE while her power is active, the humidity will return to whatever it is outside the zone
-she doesn’t actually need to throw a snackoo at someone to use her power. it’s just klavier
gregory:
-miles inherited his power from his father, who taught him how to control it at an early age
-he models out his thoughts with water, a habit his son picked up
-he’d only just started showing miles how to create ice before DL-6 happened, at which point von karma took over as instructor despite not having the same power (something that’s seen as inadvisable, because of how different elements are from each other)
manfred:
-the other reason edgeworth relives the same nightmare for 15 years
-he frequently uses his power for intimidation. it eventually causes edgeworth to lock away his water-manipulating abilities in favor of ice, which, without a real foundation, drains his energy more than it should (and he does it anyway, because the consequences for less-than-perfect results are far worse)
-franziska also develops trauma from earthquakes. she and edgeworth silently comfort each other away from the source of the tremors, franziska unknowingly using her power to stop their tears from alerting her father. it’s not much, but there’s no one else.
morgan, dahlia, and pearl:
-allows them to control someone via their shadow
-pearl finds the power she’s inherited uncomfortable but. for her mother, she learns.
-they can’t use their power on each other
-they can’t force someone else to use their powers; it only controls movement (but the person being controlled can still activate their power. it just won’t be useful, because they can’t direct it while their body is being manipulated)
-in death, a spirit loses their power so dahlia is unable to use hers while she’s being channeled. she also doesn’t have access to the power of the medium channeling her
-after bridge to the turnabout, pearl stops using her power and dedicates her efforts into her spirit medium training
iris:
-mirage is an air/water fusion power inherited from her dad
-she can create an illusion of something, or hide an object from view
-her mirages are either one large object, or multiple smaller ones (with a limit).
-she’s able to form a clone of herself, which looks convincing enough from a distance
