ok so, firstly, this oc is freaking weird and i'm sorry. i have a couple powers questions, though. so reid is physically blind, his eyes don't work anymore, but he's able to sort of "see" the world around him more as something that's a mental image, through powers that are from a source that's half scientific phenomena and half supernatural nonsense? it's something that was introduced to his biology and permanently altered it. like i said, it's weird. anyway, so he perceives the environment around him as partly scientific make-up (sees particles and radio/sound waves and which way gravity is pulling, sort of if you looked at the world drawn like a physics textbook or presented entirely in fractals).
the other part is more spectral things - auras and strings that attach one person to another and fate and nonsense, and on top of that, because reid has this weird time dilation thing that makes him basically an oracle (and this part I'm sure would be what's nerfed to 20%), his consciousness sort of exists in between places in time, so he perceives the world like layers of wax paper - tomorrow on top of today on top of yesterday and so on and so forth, and sometimes he gets lost within that. so, say there was an open, unblocked street five years ago, but has since had a fence put up to close it off. if reid's confused himself to be physically in a time that was seven years ago, he might walk straight into that fence. so, all that nonsense explained, these are the actual questions:
1: would he still be able to "see" his environment as his fractals and physics equations nonsense? would that be counted under the 20% nerf thing, and just be super super super blurry? or actually straight up blind?
2: these powers aren't things he can turn on and off, they're just passive and while he's found ways to boost them (get high as balls if you want to have more visions, woohoo), it's not something he ever controls, they just happen to him constantly, and fluctuate in terms of how intense they get. so would his suit be constantly draining if they're just always on?
i'm sorry this was stupid long and complicated 8T bless you for reading it, sob
