「 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: Fane
CANON: Divinity Original Sin 2
WHAT CAN JOHN SENSE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?:
He is a skeleton with zero physiological processes! But he's also not undead, as in like a reanimated skeleton. Fane is from a race of people that are truly immortal, so he never died in the first place. He was just locked in a tomb without magic for so long that all of his flesh fell off and rotted without the food/water/etc necessary to sustain it. :)
His life-energy/soul/whatever you want to call it is tethered to the skeleton, and I think because of his immortality, it would probably seem to be a much stronger bond than most anyone else. He has the Shard playing into it now obviously, but I feel like this would still be noticeable.
But in terms of interesting soul stuff, he does seem to have been "touched" by the divine, if this is something John could sense. Fane isn't a god himself, but is a Chosen One of a god in his world.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?: Nope!
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO NOTICE?: Go for whatever, Fane will explain most of it pretty easily anyways
