OPT-IN/OUT

now that everyone's favorite twink marine has awakened his haki, here's a handy-dandy opt-in/out! succinctly, "haki" is the ability to harness one's own energy/willpower/spiritual strength to do weird anime shit. at this point koby has "awakened" his haki, which eventually leads to said godtier abilities, but will primarily manifest itself in salt as:

extrasensory perception: the ability to sense people's presences (slightly warped by the house being the house, but if someone's approaching him, he'll feel it before he hears or sees them). this will also allow koby to locate people/check in on them without having to contact them any other way.

empathy/emotion transfer: if koby's close by/the emotions are strong enough, he'll be able to feel them very intensely.

aura-reading: people will appear in koby's mind as blobs of color/light, which is cute and fun~ he'll have a better time recognizing people sight-unseen if he's already familiar with their aura. this will also tell him their current status (health, stamina, whether they're injured/dying/dead) and emotional state.

basically: everything on the kenbunshoku haki wiki page, minus the precognitive abilities (for now).

also: horny hot haki (because oda said i could).

please fill out this little box if you wanna -- if not, no worries, i'll default to assuming koby can't pick up anything unless specified in-thread~

opt-in/out of koby's powers?: In! He can probably block some of it but it would require conscious effort, so instead, the exchange and feedback may feel sort of conversational.
IF OPT-IN:

The Stranger's Force-based presence sensing and psychic abilities (heavy on the empathy/emotional reading) are probably somewhat similar to this haki, like a crooked mirror version. He has a fair bit of power radiating off him, but if we're doing power scaling in this house, I don't personally think he's close to the MCU magic leads. Volatility comes through, like the strength ramps up with emotion—and there is a lot of emotion, but little directed toward the residents of Saltburn. Sea-like, while we're on the topic. Potentially dangerous.

SINCE THERE'S A THEME maybe let's say his aura looks like the deep ocean, lit red by volcanic activity, pressure so massive nothing should be able to move, but for the unimaginably violent currents roaring through. Plenty of life thrives down there, though. It's just another place. He's just another guy. I will describe this even more in tags ok byee
