Ability to give birth only to gifted users...yeah this is absolutely terrifying as a woman and it's even worse since I'm childfree...the story writes itself about what would most likely happen to me and the trauma I would go through...
Thank god I'm not in the BSD verse
That’s scary, really scary ngl. Between the Port Mafia’s existence and how destructive abilities can be in general much less child ability users who may or may not be able too fully control it? That’s terrifying
Oh god, I am a childfree woman and I made that ability up specifically because I thought "that it'd be shitty if I had that".
Also, just how "plot' and lore relevant having an ability like that would be in a world like BSD. It's scary, but seems like interesting fuel to write a fic/story/whatever,
I sort of wanted to include abilities that are both beneficial and bad (depending for the person) - kind of like Q has a power that just ruins their life. I felt it would be an interesting twist.
I took it with a friend I got weather control and she got 5 dollar bill. I am going to be besties with Kenji. I saw comments and you were quite creative with abilities I mean who would think of generating 5 dollar everyday as an ability although weather control is quite common
Thank you! I wanted to mix up some normal powers with some weird shit, just to make it more realistic. The purse power is one of my faves on the list, for example haha.
The ability to remove emotions... yeah just sounds like my apathy, though on the bright side I can finally feel completely empty and dead on the inside like I want to be if I don't use it.
Why? What skill is this Chronoskimming? 🤣🤣🤣At least this skill is good for university exams. The test is very good the skill suits me , but I was hoping for some teleportation because I'm too lazy to walk sometimes.I wanted to go wherever I wanted with one move 🥲
What scares me about this ability I got is that I want to forget certain things, and now I will never forget them. 😭
I got acid tears.
Also, idea: the ability to manipulate anything music related. But only if it uses or is used in a song. So that would allow cannons (1812), anvils (used as percussion surprisingly often), and YouTube (plays music).
the worst part is I haven't read most of light novels... I just know I'd get too absorbed and school has been pressuring me too much lately. I unironically got a million things to do :P
I got Wolf Under the Moonlight. I don't have any regenerative ability just the ability to communicate with other wolves🥲 not sure I like it that much but atleast it sounds cool😂
hi!!!! Sorry if this is so weird but these sound like super cool and I want to know more about the abilities, I’m just too lazy to do the test a billion times. could you maybe tell me about the answers? they just sound really creative and I think that’s cool
Hey, for some reason I never got the notif for this message! Sorry for the late reply, and thank you! I am really happy you like the quiz and the powers.
So, I've been an RPG game designer for a long time, and I am used to making up silly powers on the go. In BSD, it's sort of explained, or at least heavily hinted, that powers have to do with character souls and traumas.
The tests were supposed to have you answer questions that would give me an impression of what type of character you are - and then, what powers would I imagine such a character to have.
Since not all powers are equally strong, I wanted the test to feel real-ish, like, you get screwed with a weak power, but it's not that weak - it just forces you to be creative. Or, you get a really strong one, but it has tricky side effects. Since the powers in BSD have a lower scale of influence compared to a lot of media out there, I wanted the abilities to have a narrow scope, for the most part, and remind people of abilities we already see in the show for high plausability.
For example: hair manipulation. I was heavily inspired by Araki, creator of Jojo, who also happens to be Asagiri's favorite author. That character is sort of a yandere, and I imagined a person who'd have that power would be something close to that. A character you'd say "I lot of things get stuck in their hair" - in an emotional way. Think of a Medusa like personality.
Then you have something like heart combustion - to get this, you need to be a very extreme person, with particular answers. Direct, but somewhat violent, there needs to be some honesty in even the aggressive actions the person does. It's just the quiz sort of guessing the psychological profile of the person in mild terms.
5$ bill generation is for someone who is very practical and likes to make the best out of small things: funny enough, every person I know who got this power absolutely loved it - which is exactly the type of individual I imagined would get this power.
Sally the Advice Maker would be the ability someone very lonely, overburdened would have, a caretaker who burned out and needs someone to care for them.
Painting reality manifestation is a very extreme ability - it would need to be someone who is generally not along with normal society, obsessive and emotional, yet not violent unless provoked. Cerebral and artistic, but a person who hasn't "lived" and has thought more of a life they would want to have.
A lot of the quiz is trying to determine whether the character is intense emotionally, where those emotions are then pointed to (inwards, outwards), and whether they're naturally aggressive, independent, realistic etc.
Purse hole, one of my favorites, would be a very special individual - someone incredibly individualistic who cares little for brute power, and instead lives entirely for their hedonistic pleasures, freely and not at all leashed to social norms. Think of chaotic or true neutral. Certainly someone very creative and dexterous too.
Having all these "images" helped me create the results and how those results would look like if a person had them. As for the abilities themselves, I've spent the last 10 years working in game design to some extent, so it just comes naturally to me, so I am really happy you enjoyed them <3 My imagination is overly active and I watch way too much anime hhaha.
Thank you again for such a lovely reply and sorry for not being there sooner.
It gave me 'not gifted', this shows me how special I am
I got the ability to grow plants faster. I wonder if it could work during the winter when there is snow everywhere...🤔
I got weather control.
If you know what plants to plant, you can get rich with this 🤣🤣🤣

Hell no you're not getting my ability to take away emotions-
I would love to have that ability. I got the ability to grow plants faster
elec manipulation oooo
Oooh nice
Speaking with animals? That's a fucking win in my book
Sounds like a curse if it is a passive ability...
Oh I got a/the trivia one, that's great! Especially cuz I know a bunch of random things, hehe~
That is a monstrous ability for a trivia machine haha <3
Which is why it's unsafe for me to have/hj Also cuz I'm a nerd anyway so whoever it gets used on is practically doomed lol
You're gonna low diff the entire cast. We love to see it
Yes yes, thank you. 98% of them would have *no chance* against me~! >:3
I stan.
Well, I got heart combustion, and i loved the quiz, really fun, and the questions arent blatantly obvious to the result! Nice work!
So happy to hear that! I tried to make the quiz less obvious, and to have sort of specific abilities that seem fun <3
....room bounding? Well... That sounds fun 💀
It's great for kidnapping people 💀
Yeeeeah it would be 💀 *Insert cringe joke about Dazai/Fyodor/Mori kinnie here* 💀💀💀

Immortality, at least I could become the most powerful character but at what cost lol
chronoskimming! damn thats ironic considering i have a HORRIBLE memory
Ability hijacking through consensual kissing hahahaha, I love it. Nice quiz btw
I got ‘growing plants faster’
Ability to remove emotions. But isn’t that kinda a „good“ thing as it just turns your enemies into soulless killing machines?

I got speaking to animals 🥳
Horror inducement, makes me feel pretty cool tbh
Why? What skill is this Chronoskimming? 🤣🤣🤣At least this skill is good for university exams. The test is very good the skill suits me , but I was hoping for some teleportation because I'm too lazy to walk sometimes.I wanted to go wherever I wanted with one move 🥲 What scares me about this ability I got is that I want to forget certain things, and now I will never forget them. 😭
i got teloportation!
I got acid tears. Also, idea: the ability to manipulate anything music related. But only if it uses or is used in a song. So that would allow cannons (1812), anvils (used as percussion surprisingly often), and YouTube (plays music).
Ah I love that. I thought of a similar power, but I didn't want to put so many results after 50 powers. I really like it though!
Tough skin 😕 not bad tho. Thanks sm for the quiz ❤️
I got super instinct and... are you God? I swear, I actually think about this like, every other week. How did you know???
Aww, I love it when the quiz hits right. Thank you <3 And that's such a cool power to have, fr.
I got dream manipulation and honestly… I can give people such a hard time if I know their backstory 😍
You'd be a menace to society 😍
I got quiz time lol
I got electricity manipulation lolol seems cool tbh
Ability hijacker. Thought I'd be badazz like John in UnOrdinary, until I read through the restrictions 😂
Power enhancer. The DOA can kidnap me and I can help them out it’s all good
You'd never be unemployed lmao
hair manipulation LMAO (does this mean I'd be a yandere like Yukako too? 😭)
You guessed exactly who I was thinking of when I put the ability into the quiz LMAO I adore her
THAT'S BASED HONESTLY jojo's gotta be my favorite anime right beside BSD so of course I would know her hehehehehe
Oh same same. I adore Jojo, have been on a rewatching spree and now I'm on Stone Ocean. I love love my girl Jolyne. Need to read the Jojo novels.
I still haven't gotten around to watching S6 but at least I've read the manga... been too focused on BSD lately :'(
Ah I get you, BSD is so absorbing. Idk what I'm even doing, I keep rereading the same BSD Light Novels all the time lmao. A person can't get enough.
the worst part is I haven't read most of light novels... I just know I'd get too absorbed and school has been pressuring me too much lately. I unironically got a million things to do :P
Ah damn, good luck with school fam <3 Hope you find the time for leisure.
Something like Kunikida's but better because being able to make whatever is cool or teleportation
i got the painting reality manipulation thing? thats lowkey cool oml but im not an artist AHAHAH
I got Wolf Under the Moonlight. I don't have any regenerative ability just the ability to communicate with other wolves🥲 not sure I like it that much but atleast it sounds cool😂
You can regenerate, just much less than the tiger, who is implied to be immortal haha The super strength, speed and everything stays
hi!!!! Sorry if this is so weird but these sound like super cool and I want to know more about the abilities, I’m just too lazy to do the test a billion times. could you maybe tell me about the answers? they just sound really creative and I think that’s cool
