Life Manipulation

From The Character Database

Life Manipulation is the ability to control the life force within living beings or the very concept of life itself.

Possible Uses:

  • Animation: Some users can breathe life into inanimate objects, turning them into living creatures to aid in combat.
  • Plant Manipulation: Users can enrich the ground with life energy, causing plants to rapidly grow and controlling the life energy within plants for various effects.
  • Healing/Regeneration: Life manipulators can heal themselves or others, greatly prolonging their time in combat.
  • Life Stealing/Instant Death: Some users can steal life energy or remove it from an opponent's body to grievously harm or kill the target.
  • Statistics Amplification: Characters can manipulate the life energy within their own body to grant Superhuman Physical Characteristics or enhance their physical prowess.

Limitations:

  • Life Manipulation may be ineffective against inorganic beings or those not truly "alive" and thus do not have life energy to manipulate.
  • Users may suffer adverse side effects from overusing their powers or having an excess of energy, which can be exploited if they are forced to use a great deal of it at once.
