「 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: Tartaglia (Childe)
CANON: Genshin Impact
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: John should be able to realize Childe is human (or was), and that physically he pretty much works the same way. He's been "touched by the Abyss" in his world which is basically like some kind of primordial chaos void. It's associated with negative karma, evil gods, and where monsters/beasts that are not part of and are otherwise against the existence of humanity come from. The Abyss is extremely powerful but humans that are corrupted by the Abyss usually die, or become a monster (and also eventually die.)
My personal visual interpretation of the Abyss in Childe is black tarry goop with lots of eyes and you are welcome to be able to have John see it visually like that in some unique way or anything else if you prefer since it has no true canon form beyond void.
Childe can use the Abyss to turn into a powerful creature (he gets full "demonic" type armor, but I think it's supposed to be organic in some sense, and he gets physically larger stronger etc.) I don't know if John canonly can recognize something that has different forms or you have a headcanon for how he might, but you are welcome to have him realize that Childe has some kind of alternative form that is probably A Problem to deal with without it ever being mentioned.
If he can see souls, he should be able to tell that Childe's is way fucked up by something that isn't Zenith or Meridian related and has a strong grip of influence and power on him. My guess is his soul isn't weak, though, despite the Abyss actively trying to eat and devour his lifeforce. Can probably tell Childe is not meant to live for really long and has a shortened lifespan that gets shorter every time he use the Abyss and its power but also that there's clearly simmering weird at work stalling or compensating for that since the energy he uses probably would d ovoid r should hang been dead a while ago.
Probably hard to tell if the Abyss controls Childe or Childe controls the Abyss. He might be able to also tell that Childe's vision and his delusion are attached to his soul somehow and that they have some effect on his life/death energy too as well as how he wields elements. (He wears them on his belt. )
He's never used his Abyss Form in Kenos, and has no plans to ever let anyone know it even exists, but im sure it'll happen eventually! Therefore it's fair someone should probably find out or at least have a good idea to be Prepared for Something Unexpected from him when he gets backed into a corner before Childe actually uses it against anyone.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: nope. If John has the ability to gain the insight, have at it.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: he can notice everything and anything he's capable of.
