「 kenos | opt-in post 」
As a very powerful necromancer, John has the ability to sense the thalergy (life energy), thanergy (death energy), and souls of any living thing.
So! What does this mean?
This means that John can sense just about everything that goes on with a person physiologically down to the chemical processes. In Kenos, he's been heavily nerfed, and most of his powers are affected in a general sense by all the fun new energies present, which is a convenient handwave-y way of explaining why he doesn't have turbo knowledge about everything and everyone at all times.
The purpose of this page is a general opt-in where you can optionally share any details about your character that John might recognise and whether or not you want them referred to, etc.
This is mostly a reference for me, so be as detailed as you like because it's definitely fun for me to sprinkle things in hehe.
As a note, it is acceptable to say that John outright can't sense something too! There are several characters where We Just Don't Know, or it's otherwise more interesting to leave question marks, so feel free to mention if you want John to perceive someone as Eldritch Static or a migraine or something!

CANON:
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Physical details? Interesting soul stuff? Weird eldritch mysteries?
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: Anything specific that shouldn't be mentioned (i.e. in case you want something kept secret longer, etc.)?
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: I am happy to use this ability to highlight something if you like!

CHARACTER NAME: voryn dagoth
CANON: the elder scrolls iii: morrowind
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: voryn is a dark elf and his garnet shard looks like a vertical third eye, so he's pretty weird looking, but john is used to that. voryn's soul has been corrupted by the literal heart of his universe's god of mischief, lorkhan. as the heart is almost eldritch in nature, vast and unknowable, an element of voryn's soul would now share this quality, as it drove him mad by lingering near it and tampering with it (smh). he has been made a god but has not yet woken up to that fact, so this divine essence would be an interesting detail for others to take note of. as for the substance of what his soul may look and feel like, i've been including in my tags that his energy/magic feels itchy like a skin rash, as he is closely associated with illness in canon. there are symbolic elements of music (most notably bells) and the ocean often associated with voryn's clan and the "blessing"/curse (read: disease) he afflicts people with during the course of the game. feel free to get weird with this because i certainly will!
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: no, just talk to me if you wanna do anything weird, i guarantee i'll be down for it in some capacity!
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: NOT YET BUT I'LL UPDATE AS-NEEDED WHEN WE GET WEIRD SHIT ON THE GO
