「 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!
Fill out the handy dandy form below and leave a comment!

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: Sebastian Michaelis
CANON: Black Butler
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?:
Sebastian is likely a big blob of “what the fuck”
Or more seriously, Sebastian is a demon and one with more Eldritch flavoring than horns and pitchfork. It’s likely very obvious that his apperance is not his real one (and I’ll get into that too below lol) and that he’s composed of literal darkness and shadow. He’s a shapeshifter that’s able to take whatever form he pleases. I’m not canon familiar, but just taking a guess, he’s going to be heavy on the death energy side of things! His food is souls, after all, though he also hasn’t eaten one for a while at this point.
But, since John’s sensory ability is pretty strong, he’d also sense some wack stuff about the human appearance that Sebastian takes on since while it is composed of flesh and blood, it’s also not exactly necessary! So Sebastian has blood and organs, but they’re all largely non-functional and are just for show more than anything else. It’d be weird if he was cut and didn’t bleed, etc.
At appearance/surface level it’s all “correct”, but the further detail it’s examined/sensed, the more “incorrect” it becomes. Sebastian needs to understand something to create it, and that includes his own form, which is then limited by medical/anatomical knowledge of his time period (1889). Needless to say, when you get down to chemical processes level, they’re going to be missing entirely because it’s not something he knows about/needs.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: Nope!
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: Nothing comes to mind!
