Personality effects
|-
|[[Snag]]
|Lurching Intruder
|
# ''Can reorient gravity for himself, allowing among other things a pseudo-flight ability. Cluster-mates suggest supporting facets involving inertia manipulation and spatial awareness.''
# Can "charge" objects with negative emotions; generally used on his tinker-tech.
# Tinker-tech that enhances his arms, augmenting reach, strength, and durability as well as providing a weapons platform.
# Easily breaks through inorganic objects, possibly touch-only.
| Self-loathing
|-
|[[Love Lost]]
|Anguished Heart
|
# Wall runner, enhanced speed, can slightly alter jump trajectories
# ''Emotion-affecting scream, augmented with Tinker tech mask. Makes people irrationally angry, and can cause them to disregard normal friendships and loyalties.''
# Tinker-tech which focuses and enhances her other abilities, such as mobility-enhancing claws on all four limbs and a mask which fine-tunes her scream's effects.
# Unclear ability that seems to sharpen her claws.
| Rage
|-
|[[Cradle]]
|Grasping Self
|
# Enhanced spatial awareness and proprioception. Upgraded form: transitionless movement.
# Senses emotional weak points and connections, and how far someone can be pushed before they snap. 
# ''"Limb" tinker; creates hand-themed drones and devices which act as conduits for powers.''
# channels cutting force between points along surfaces. Upgraded form: 3-dimensional Shaker projection of static cutting lines
| Callousness <!--any better antonym for empathy? Previously used: Mercilessness-->
|-
|[[Precipice]]
|Cloven Stranger
|
# Enhanced balance, ability to temporarily arrest his personal inertia for a brief moment.
# Zone of doubt and self-criticism with a set circular radius, secondary use for inducing rapid learning
# Tinker ability allows for the creation of fragile extra arms and neural interfaces. Possible secondary specialty of improvised field repairs.
# ''Blaster effect that produces long cutting blades that can be used as projectiles. Causes objects/organic beings to split along the affected areas if force is applied.''

===[[Colt]]===
Her powers are influenced by all of cluster powers, however no other clustermates expressed her breaker power. She appears in Love Lost's room in the dreamscape and benefits from tokens given to Love Lost<ref>[[Dying 15.6]]</ref>, but does not possess her own tokens.

Thanks to her breaker aspect she was able to accidentally send the dreamscape into disarray.<ref name="12.fII">[[Heavens 12.f]]</ref> She is able to influence dream-visions with relative ease, and seems to posses some deeper intuition about human-[[shard]] connections.<ref>“Every time it’s my night, it’s a different slant of everyone else’s dreams, depending on my mood or how I push it.  Like Cradle pushes it.  Except I’m a bit better than him at it.”<br>
[...]
“Capes and dreams have unusual relationships,” I said.  “It’s worth looking into.”<br>
“That’s because… dreams are something they don’t get,” Colt said.  “They don’t have enough data or reference points for them.  It’s why when they move on, they’ll want a lot of information about dreams and dreaming.  It’s why things slip through the cracks in dreams, or get weird, or are spaces where they can manipulate things more.”<br>
“You study this?” I asked.<br>
“I… get it,” Colt said.<br>
Because Breakers and reality warpers were often closest to their agents, maybe.  Because this particular cluster was built around dreams and dreaming.  And because dreams brought things even closer still. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/04/05/black-13-2/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.2]]</ref>

===[[Shard]]s===

* '''[[Grasping Self]]''' is an initial, cornerstone shard. It connected to [[Cradle|Ryan]] years ago, but after the death of Scion it became broken and was unable to limit Ryan's [[tinker]] ability,<ref>At this point in time, the assistant has knowledge but no power to utilize it.  Later, the assistant will have the power, but will no longer hold the knowledge. [...] Build, blind liar.  Lie, build, and build lies.  Reach and grasp.  We are broken now, we cannot take away your knowledge, but we will function as a perfect pair because we are both dead inside, disconnected.Build, blind liar.  Lie, build, and build lies.  Reach and grasp.  We are broken now, we cannot take away your knowledge, but we will function as a perfect pair because we are both dead inside, disconnected. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/12/heavens-12-f/ Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.f]]</ref> as the cycle has been disrupted. It was not particularly bothered by that, since it had great expectations of Ryan even with shard network in ruins. It, however, was greatly displeased by cluster formation, and as so, decided to stack the clusters mechanics in Ryan's favor.<ref name="12.fII"/>

* '''[[Anguished Heart]]''' was also connected to [[Love Lost|Nicole]] for years and presented quite developed power to the cluster, with a nice amount of information.<ref name="12.fII"/> Anguished Heart has a larger purpose in the cycle, as it makes up a small part of the shards that drive the intense emotions behind trigger events.<ref>There was even the repeated focus on the day the people belonging to this room had gotten powers.  Returning to that over and over again.<br><br>The beast wasn’t just emotion.  It was tied into other hardware and functions.  Peak emotion.  Worst days and moments.<br><br>Gilpatrick felt it find his, dredging them up and bringing them to the surface.<br><br>It was a fragment of the greater puzzle responsible or partially responsible for trigger events. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/11/infrared-19-b/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.b II]]</ref>

* '''Lurching Intruder''' is a small, young shard. It had recent, accidental connection to his host.<ref name="12.fII"/>

* '''Cloven Stranger''' is a [[bud]] of some other shard. Grasping Self considers this connection as insult to injury.<ref name="12.fII"/>
<!-- rotation is Snag -> Cradle -> LL -> Rain -> Shard-Dealer
It's unclear which guardian Breakthrough saw initially
Also not clear if Extinguished one is a Snag's leftover or a new one for Colt -->
The otherwise black section holds a portal to the secondary room with giant [[Endbringer]]-like constructs, that represent shards inside the dreamscape. Each possesses the powers of respective shard, and while comparable to Endbringers they are significantly less durable. 

One of them is activated during respective person's night, during which it enforces borders in the main room and guards the portal to the greater [[The Shardspace‎‎|shard-realm]] from invasions.<ref name="II16.8">[[From Within 16.8]]</ref><ref name="II16.9"/><ref name="II16.10"/>

Killing the person inside the dreamscape instantly erases an associated guardian.<ref name="II16.10"/>
