Abilities/Powers: As the aspect of War, Håkon has a set of passive and active abilities. Passive abilities include the ability to generate his own life force. This means his human body is stronger and sturdier than the average person’s, and that he is capable of surviving injuries people normally would not be able to survive. His healing ability is also quite strong. While a broken leg will remain a broken leg, his leg will likely recover in four weeks, when the usual takes six. Little things like that. To be honest, in the grand scheme of things, his sturdiness is of no use. Because he will be reincarnated anyway, the need to stay alive decreases. He is also able to sense conflict within others. At the peak of his power, Håkon is capable of cataloging and sensing the conflict of every individual who lives in his world. He can look at anyone, and be able to tell you what sort of conflict they’ve experienced, whether or not they’ve fought, physically or verbally, with anyone, whether or not they have ever experienced war. He is instinctively drawn to people who are embroiled in conflict. At Haven, this passive ability will be toned down: he will only be able to sense that people are related to conflict, but will not know any details unless the other mun agrees to it. Other passive abilities include: rudimentary magic resistance, and the ability to grab any mundane object and allow it to be used as a weapon. A ruler gains a sharper edge. A lightbulb glows hot. Wood strengthens. Cords become sturdier. He is also able to pick up any weapon and have instinctive knowledge on how to use it to maximum efficiency. His ability will be toned down to only weapons that he has seen before, and only if other muns in the thread agrees.
As a person, Håkon eats and sleeps like a regular human being, but he technically doesn’t need anything but sleep. Food and water are things that he consumes to keep up appearances—technically, his organs only function at a minimal level. However, he needs at least three hours of sleep per day to be at full functioning capacity. He tends to forgo even that amount of sleep—causing him to crash in energy levels approximately once every week and a half.
Håkon’s only active ability is the ability to form ‘Contracts’ with other people. As the Aspect of war, he is unable to perform magic unless he holds a contract. Usually, he holds a contract with his world, negating the need to form contracts with other beings. Upon arriving in Haven, he will need to hold a contract with another character in order to tap into the full range of his magical powers. Ultimately, his power, like the Wishmakers of his world, is the ability to grant miracles by manipulating life-force. With a contract, he will be able to tap into both his own life-force and the life-force of his contractor. His element is fire, and his nature is war, which allows him to perform strong magic to do with war—summoning swords and storms of flames, for example. He is also able to grant minor miracles that have nothing to do with his nature, such as levitation, limited flight, making an apple pop into existence, drawing a large-scale graffiti on the wall etc. But these are limited. The larger the scale of the magic, the the life-force it’d take. He cannot bring the dead back to life, and as healing is not his nature or element, he can only grant minor healing magic. Any large-scale healing will likely cost both him and his contractor’s full life-force, causing them both to die.
Also, not really abilities, but I wasn't sure where to put this-- Hakon cannot recognize human faces. As in, every face more or less looks the same to him. It's like trying to get a three-year-old child to recognize the differences between the faces of identical breeds of horses. Impossible. He judges people's identities via their actions, voices and mannerisms, but he's pretty easy to fool if you know what you're doing. Also, Hakon hits states of mania and depression. He'll get worked up on adrenaline, and then crash a few days later. ~~*The more you know~*~
