Player: Joysweeper Character: Julien Reason for Echo: Recurrence - staking out the new security around the Tuning Towers while trying not to be noticed or caught. Yuuya's done this kind of thing many times and is really, really good at it. Type and tier: Ability. Tier One. What is returned: Another element of Yuuya's stealth. Specifically Yuuya's ability to make himself very difficult to notice. I think it's supernatural. We only really get to see him on a stakeout once but he's implausibly good at it, and very able to stalk people.
It doesn't matter that he stands out a little, if he's quiet and unobtrusive he can just sort of... fade into the background, figuratively. He's still completely visible, no one would walk into him, but somehow he seems not worth paying attention to. It works best in a crowd and at some distance, worst - barely at all - if he's close and the only one present. If he speaks or does something conspicuous and someone sees or hears, they notice. If someone who knows him sees him in full view, they notice. He can't use it to escape being cornered or followed without escaping for at least a few minutes first, and it's not invisibility. His scent is not affected.
