「 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!

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: Akua Sahelian
CANON: A Practical Guide to Evil
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: LAUGHS NERVOUSLY..........................
So. Um. You know how some souls have been through the wringer? And separated from their body not once but then put into a new body? And then Severed again?
Akua's soul in particular was separated from her body at 13, when she put it into a Phylactery. He can probably sense and notice a lot of magical contingencies were worked into it that show "scars" of her work but are no longer present. (
Her death plan was definitely to steal a baby's body if she got killed)(She did get killed and so her workings didn't help in the end 😞)In addition, he's free to notice that she has already died twice before, once where her soul lingered for some time as a ghost trapped in an inanimate object. The second time was right before arriving in Kenos and has some uh. Effects. That are lying dormant. (She also had a new body after her first death, but since all of their bodies are regrown in Kenos, that's probably less obvious but he's free to notice that it was "housed" a second time physically! They magically regrew her body. The books Go Places.)
In addition, her soul bears the brunt of two "Names" (think of them as titles with Powers -- She was the Heiress and the Diabolist, and they are no longer present for her, but he can probably notice the uhhhh... effects of those) and a third that's half-formed and is essentially "blossoming" in her currently. It's might be of note since her new name of "Calamity" is a Name of Intercession on behalf of the Gods (Below) and so if you want him to notice that, you're free to! You can probably roll with some soul-magical/thalergical... residue. Weirdness. We can roll with things!
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: Nope! I'm down for anything
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: Whatever you want!!
