One of Ienzo's notable canon abilities is being able to sense the balance of Light and Darkness in a person's heart. This is about as ill-defined and never elaborated upon as it sounds, so to give a quick rundown of what it means for the sake of this game:
- Light and Darkness are forces that essentially correspond to positive and negative emotions. This doesn't mean Ienzo can read your character's emotional state on the fly, but it does mean he'll be able to tell if they're overall more optimistic or pessimistic.
- If you want to get more specific, he may also be able to tell just what kinds of Darkness and Light they tend to gather - How do their bad feelings manifest? Are they prone to resentment? Self-loathing? Ennui? How do their good feelings manifest? Are they confident? Happy? Righteously driven? This is completely voluntary, if you'd rather just stick to generalities (or opt-out entirely) that's fine too!
- Note also that factors other than personality can affect Light/Dark balance! If your character is something monstrous (eg. a vampire, a demon, an undead) they may have a higher proportion of Darkness, though this is of course up to your discretion.
- In any case, these signatures are unique as fingerprints and Ienzo is able to use them to identify people from considerable distances away. How far isn't entirely clear in canon, but I've guesstimated it to be a little less than a mile assuming perfect conditions.
- If your character is possessed, that's who Ienzo will immediately pick up with this sense, even if the possessor isn't currently in control.
- This sense is also somehow linked to his sense of smell, so if you want to include what your character actually physically smells like that's cool too!
