• Advantages

  • Adept - Can adapt to new situations more quickly than usual.
  • Acting - Can express emotions not currently felt, as well as hide emotions currently felt.
  • Pattern Recognition - Can detect the existence of patterns, as well as false positives from potential cases of Apophenia.
  • Heightened Emotional Empathy - Able to feel what another person feels just by knowing that they feel that emotion.
  • Sound Sensitivity - Able to recognize specific voices, as well as determining what sounds were digitally altered.

• Disadvantages

  General Disadvantages

  • Selective Insomnia - Cannot sleep if there is any chance of being seen or heard by anyone who hasn't earned his trust.
  • Tactile Sensitivity - Every physical sensation is magnified. Anything unexpected registers as pain.
  • No Social Skills - Frequently unintentionally speaks in the wrong tone of voice or implies things that are not true, not realizing this until after the damage is done.
  • Low Social Empathy - Harder to tell what emotions another person is feeling.
  • Compulsive Pacifist - Cannot strike opponents. Attempts to do so will cause fear-induced paralysis, followed by a panic attack, and vomiting. The panic attack continues until removal from the scene.

  
  Albinism-Related Disadvantages

  • Near-Sighted - Everything further than a few feet away is blurry.
  • Mandatory Low-Light Vision - Any area with average or brighter lighting is blinding without tinted lenses to lower the amount of light entering the eyes.
  • Vulnerable to UV Radiation - Exposure to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation for more than a couple of minutes will result in a sunburn unless blocked by something else. Sunscreen alone does not count as "something else".

• Traits

  Magically Stunted
  Magic is as if you are not.

  • Unaffected by all magic, both helpful and harmful.
  • Cannot cast magic
  • Cannot sense magic or anything entirely magical, even if a non-mage would.
  • Can still sense the result through mundane means if said result is non-magical (a pebble deflected by a magic barrier, but not the barrier itself)
