Capabilities[]

Users can perceive the future through various means, which can be broadly separated into two categories: Supernatural and Analytical. Some users can only see into the immediate future, enabling them to fight with near flawlessness or completely nullify surprise attacks. On the other hand, some can see into the far future, effectively being Seers that can foresee outcomes of major decisions or the triggers to catastrophes and the like.

Some users can only see the future of themselves, while some users' precognition are tied to a certain place or person. Some are limited to predicting only a singular likely chain of events, while others can see many different possible outcomes, gathering information and finding the best paths to take by going through many different possibilities.

Supernatural Precognition[]

Users acquire impossible knowledge on future events through supernatural means, such as utilizing rituals, having prophetic dreams or sudden visions, or simply having been born with knowledge of all that will happen in the future.

Analytical Precognition[]

Users can perceive the future through analysis of current events and certain factors and characteristics that enable them to accurately predict their consequences. This can be done through high levels of wisdom, strategic know-how, calculating the probability of events, or simply experience. This can also be achieved by having techniques and skills related to reading into the present to see what will happen in the future, mostly through analyzing physical tells or having some form of superhuman aid.
