Angelo Power Upgrade #6

Angelo is a half-reaper. Their biological father was a full blooded reaper, going about their duties when he had a brief affair with Angelo's human mother. Angelo has never met him, and was forced to figure out his powers on his own.

Imperceptible: Angelo is capable of preventing people from noticing him. In practice, it works very similar to invisibility, except that rather than actually going invisible, he lets out an aura that prevents sentient creatures from spotting him. This works on all senses (sight, smell, etc, including supernatural senses). Even if he's straight in front of him, those effected by this power will simply have their eyes slide right over him, the part of their brain that should say 'there he is!' failing to go off. This would not work on anyone immune to auras, and works on animals to varying degrees. The closer a creature is to human level sentience, the more likely it would work. If he was running from a dog, he'd have to stand very still for the aura to have much of a chance of working.

Soul Gathering: Angelo is capable of helping a soul pass on to whatever afterlife awaits it. He cannot forcibly exorcise spirits, but can help freed trapped and confused souls. Most freshly dead souls do not attempt to resist, so for him it's more of a nudge in the right direction than a forcible reaping.

Soul Strength: Angelo is strengthened by his position as a reaper, and is more physically capable than an average human. A portion of this is physical, with Angelo being in his physical prime, but the majority of this is magical in nature. Angelo is capable of lifting around 5000 pounds with effort, can run around 75 miles an hour, is durable enough to shrug off most assault by a normal human, and has stamina to match.

Unnatural Strength: Once a reaper, Angelo found themselves continually strengthened by their work. Now that he's human, he's found that his strength persists, the change having effected his body permanently. While a portion of this strength is physical, with Angelo being in his physical prime, but the majority of this is magical in nature. Angelo is capable of lifting around 5000 pounds with effort, can run around 75 miles an hour, is durable enough to shrug off most assault by a normal human, and has stamina to match.

Energy Burn: Angelo is capable of burning off his excess lifespan in order to heal faster than other humans. This is not instant, but is a visible effect. The amount of energy burn is related to how long it would take for the damage to fully heal. If it would take a month to heal, then it would take two months of lifespan. However, it cannot heal things that a human wouldn't be able to heal anyway (such as regrowing limbs). Scars tend to come out better than they would have if healed naturally.

Unnatural Lifespan: When Angelo came into his reaper powers at the age of twenty five, his aging slowed down and eventually stopped, and every reaped soul expanded his lifespan. While he can no longer extend it further, that enhanced lifespan remains, letting Angelo live for a few hundred years if he's careful. He's also capable of burning off his excess lifespan in order to heal faster than other humans. This is not instant, but is a visible effect. The amount of energy burn is related to how long it would take for the damage to fully heal. If it would take a month to heal, then it would take two months of lifespan. However, it cannot heal things that a human wouldn't be able to heal anyway (such as regrowing limbs). Scars tend to come out better than they would have if healed naturally.

Half-Dead: For anyone who senses death, Angelo shows up as dead, much like a ghost would. When it comes to magic or abilities, he's treated like an inanimate object. Auras, for example, will not work on him at all, nor would ability that targets him over range (by name, soul, etc. Think cursing someone with a lock of their hair). Anything that has to be actually aimed still works as normal. Anything that requires touch still works as normal. Angelo is aware of powers being used on him that are blocked by this, such as auras, and will get a general idea of the nature of the power.

Sense Death: Someone's death is like a beacon for Angelo, and if he's within a hundred feet, he can feel it with a sixth sense. After the fact, if the soul lingers, his range is diminished, and he has to be within fifty feet to get an idea of where they are so he can seek them out. This locates the location of the spirit, which is not necessarily the location of the body. Unfortunately, this power also is set off by all types of ghosts and undead, who set of his radar simply by existing.

The gun itself uses mundane bullets, no different from those of Angelo's police firearm. However, bullets fired from the gun have a special effect: They disrupt magic and any supernatural effects of other abilities other abilities supernatural effects. Any magic hit by the bullets become nullified nulled, and a backfire effect kicks in, preventing the source of the magic from using any magic for five minutes. When the bullets hit other active supernatural effects, only that specific ability is knocked out. If the gun is shot at a magical item putting up a shield, the bullets will knock the shield out and stop the item from reactivating for five minutes. If the gun is shot at a mage putting up a magical shield to protect themselves, the bullets will knock the shield out and stop the mage in question from using any magic for five minutes, as well as probably putting a bullet hole through the mage in question, since the shield will have had no effect. The effect is similar for non-magic users. An elementalist shooting fire at Angelo would abruptly find themselves unable to use fire. From an OOC standpoint, the entire 'power' is knocked out, even if the effect itself is a sub-power.
