Control of Night

Quirk

Quirk Name: Control of Night

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Overview: Control of Night activates whenever Lina has a hand on any open part of her body. When it does, her body’s motion triggers coded information into the brain of anyone able to see her, accumulating and degrading the mental self-control of the people looking at her, causing them to unconsciously become susceptible to Lina’s suggestion and to feel true trust and affection for her, depending on the effectiveness of her charm.

Quirk Limits/Drawbacks: In theory, a person who watched Lina and experienced too much of her control could become temporarily braindead, due to being unable to maintain control of their conscious thoughts. The base effectiveness of the quirk is subject to the motion witnessed of Lina, as in the difference between individual unconsciously interpreted frames per second of vision. Merely moving her arm would not have the same effect as moving the whole of her body.

Quirk Strengths: Breaking the mental barriers of anyone who looks at her is a fantastic quirk for social engineering and manipulation. Given the unlimited range and potential affected targets, on top of being able to be recreated through technology because it is the visual of body itself that becomes the source of the coded information, she can create control over potentially countless targets and influence them to obey her desires.

Quirk Weaknesses: Blind people cannot be affected by this quirk at all. Limiting visual contact with Lina can reduce the amount of influence available. Further, if the target has low self-confidence, that is to say would naturally doubt their own decisions naturally, they will become far more resilient to the effect. Self-confidence, on the other hand, would strengthen the effect further, as the brain of the target would trust in that influence unknowingly all the more. Also, Lina herself is who the target has weakened mental barriers to, not anyone around or associated with her.

Future Development: ...None thought of at the moment. This is the quirk of a grown woman who has been using it for all it’s worth throughout her life.
