「 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: Silco
CANON: Arcane
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Silco is a perfectly normal human being. HOWEVER, since John can sense what's going on in a human body, there are probably a few particular things of note. His right hand has something of a "dead zone" about it (demon contract curse) that seems to have something particularly... funky about it. Like there's something both eldrich and blocking him from most details. Likely, if he has encountered Sebastian, it's easy to kind of get a sense that it's got some eldritch-esque energy similar to him.
But now to the more interesting stuff! Silco's got a lot going on with his eye in Particular. It's very clearly a source of pain for the man, but more than that, it's like. Extremely Polluted. Like it Does Not Look Right, so it's obvious, but it's also just like so old and settled at this point, but it's implied that it's getting worse over time (mostly in that his solutions seem to hurt him worse later in the series, I'm making a guess, but you know). Being a Shard-Bearer likely stopped most of the progression of the deterioration, but it is still actually progressing. He also has extreme scarring around the eye -- also clearly polluted -- even though he covers it with Makeup, John will likely be able to tell. I guess, lastly, is that he's got fucked up lungs. Like he's been smoking cigars since he was probably 10 or something, but on top of that, he was a child laborer in the mines, and he grew up in Zaun in the days before they had air scrubbers. So you know. He's got Extreme Lung Damage. Shit's fucked, he's a mess.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: Nope!
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: You can notice whatever you want!
