Adaptive abilities are abilities which enable an individual to adapt in various ways to different situations and surroundings. They include:
- Ability Adaptation
- Alternating Adaptation
- Aquatic Adaptation
- Body Adaptation
- Limited Physical Adaptation
- Lung Adaptation
- Nocturnal Adaptation
- Reactive Adaptation
- Sensory Adaptation
Variations[]
Ability Adaptation[]
This ability enables a person to adapt against any abilities used against him or her, gaining an ability which would counter it. For example, one could gain cryokinesis against pyrokinesis, or anti-shield against a forcefield.
Alternating Adaptation[]
This is the ability to choose between a range of different adaptations. One could choose to adapt physically, mentally or emotionally, adapt to particular abilities or adapt to a particular environment. The chosen adaptation will activate at need, and is kept for 24 hours before it can be changed.
Aquatic Adaptation[]
This is the ability to adapt the body to water. The lungs are blocked off, with the respiratory system leading to newly formed gills instead. In addition to this, the senses also adapt to being underwater, the skin becomes fully waterproof, and the hands and feet become webbed. The ability always activates when underwater, and deactivates when one surfaces.
Body Adaptation[]
This ability enables the body to adapt to any surroundings and remain conscious in them. The body can adapt to different temperatures and pressures, and therefore will not be affected by these. The lungs can also adapt to different breathing media. In water, the body will form gills, the senses will adapt and the hands and feet will become webbed.
Limited Physical Adaptation[]
This ability enables the body to adapt to survive potentially fatal or seriously threatening situations. Examples include forming gills in water, adapting to extreme temperatures and forming impenetrable skin before a fall or a crash.
Lung Adaptation[]
This ability enables the lungs to adapt to different breathing media, such as water, poisonous gas or a vacuum.
Nocturnal Adaptation[]
This ability enables a person to adapt to darkness and the nighttime. The eyes become more sensitive, and can gain infra-red vision, and the other senses also become more acute. The individual becomes more agile and the skin darkens for better camouflage.
Reactive Adaptation[]
This ability enables an individual to adapt fully to any situations. In addition to adapting physically, one would also adapt mentally and emotionally, and one's abilities would adapt if they were manipulated in any manner.
Sensory Adaptation[]
This ability enables one's senses to adapt, protecting the individual from overexposure and also improving the senses in other situations. It also prevents any manipulation of the senses.
