Abilities Check! (Shout out to my non jjba bud for helping...)

Okay! After some thought and review to make sure I cut anything too complicated/redundant (as the statement 'too similar to technomancy' meant there were other abilities I could safely assume cannot be purchased), I've made what is....hopefully a simple list. Absolutely let me know if I need to clarify something further, but I'm listing these in order of 'most unsure' to 'least unsure'.

First: The most questionable ability, Paisley Park's 'Hacking' skill. This is what it says on the tin; Paisley is used to hack through security measures, accessing otherwise inaccessible files to download and so on.

The question is, could this ability be regained IF:

  • Hacking required a (wired/wireless signal) connection to Yasuho's device, just as any true 'hacker' would require a connection to their own phone/laptop/similar.
  • Success of the 'hack', associated download/upload/etc, relied on the other party.

Basically, this ability would be limited to the capabilities of a skilled human and their mundane devices; what is purchased, is Paisley Park's use of that skill.

Second: In an earlier regain, I used 'abnormal luck' to mimic Yasuho's first canon manifestation of Paisley Park- specifically this entailed higher success rates in an internet search. Can this 'internet search specific luck' be further amplified?

As an example of this ability; in canon, a man wonders if he could find a doctor of a certain age within the area. Searching on her phone, Yasuho immediately has the result of that person's public hospital profile via a 'Our Staff' page. In other words, this skill does not Create information- it simply makes the most situationally Relevant information the first to appear in Yasuho's search.

(Success/Results would still be subject to player and mod permission of course)

Lastly: The remaining skills Paisley Park could have that I'm uncertain about are all physical abilities, unrelated to electronics. At full power they are as follows;

  • Full body shapeshifting to the extent of 'puddles', without altering the color and appearance of the Stand.
  • The ability to physically interact with other beings and objects for the purposes of defending Yasuho (ie: tripping, grabbing)
  • Strength and Speed capabilities equivalent to Yasuho herself (a young adult woman)
  • The ability to move objects while within the existing 50 foot range she can move away from Yasuho, for purposes other than self-defense.

Thank you again for your time in going over this! My hope is to let Yasuho do well in a more supportive role, so figuring out where things stand early on can help me plan really well for that.
