Delaney Lavoux

Primary Delaney Lavoux

Active Abilities:
Knowledge Manipulation
With a touch Delaney can swap knowledge from one person to another. She can take knowledge from a person, removing it from them (and thus forcing them to learn it again). Or do the reverse (and make her learn it again). She can act as a conduit that can swap knowledge between two people. This exchange of knowledge must be equal. Delaney cannot use this power on those who are unaware or are unwilling to undergo the swap.

Knowledge, as relevant to her ability, is facts, information and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. Emotions, intuitions, gut feelings, funny-feelings or born-with (innate) knowledge are not applicable. Nor does the ability to perform a skill transfers over.

Secondly, Delaney can touch a book or electronic device and absorb the knowledge held within. She can hold on to this knowledge for as long as she’d like, but to learn it she must temporarily forget knowledge equal to the amount she absorbed.

(Notes: Both a slight rewrite and a slight upgrade to this ability. Took out what I felt was redundant to trim down on words. Removed limits on how long she can hold knowledge absorbed from books and electronic devices, but kept that she still has to forget an equal amount to what she wants to learn. Otherwise this power is as it was before.)

Passive Abilities:
The Library
Delaney has gained her own little pocket dimension and is sent there every time she falls asleep. The Library contains a vast wealth of knowledge on a variety of topics. While in the Library Delaney learns twice as fast as normal. While here she has her full eyesight but cannot hear the whispers that speak to her while awake.

She can bring people or new books or items into The Library by falling asleep while holding them. Objects will stay even after she wakes up, while people will return to the normal world upon waking up.

(Notes: New power, a pocket dimension that she goes to when she falls asleep. She can only go there while asleep so I made it a passive as it's not really something she activates)

Whispers from Beyond
Delaney can hear whispers of unknown things narrating the present. The range of events these whispers can reveal extend from right next to her, to cosmic events thousands of light years away. The events are narrated as they are happening, as these voices only speak of events currently happening. With concentration she can narrow events to everything within half a mile of herself. While concentrating she cannot hear anything other than the voices and will be vulnerable for as long as she is focused on the voices.

(Notes: Rewrite and removed headache from concentrating and instead made it so she's vulnerable/can only hear her voices while concentrating)

Not Quite Human Anymore
Delaney can bend and stretch her body as though it were made of rubber. She could bend her arms and legs several inches in way those limbs should normally never be pulled and can stretch herself out to make her limbs several inches longer. Eventually any bends or stretches, usually within a few hours, will shrink back to her normal proportions. In addition, the elastic nature of her body protects her from physical or blunt blows which would bounce off her.

(Notes: Upgraded version. Delaney can bend and stretch more of her body now.)

Whispering Influence and Elderitch Sense are unchanged and thus not included here.
