Power

Rafael possesses a temporal-experiential collection ability that allows him to access feelings, sensations, reflexes, and experiential data from across his entire lifetime - from birth to death. This creates a comprehensive internal database of every moment he has lived or will live.

Primary Abilities

Temporal Data Collection: Rafael automatically collects and stores all emotional, sensory, and reflexive experiences from both his past and future timeline. This data is stored in both his conscious and subconscious mind, creating an ever-expanding repository of experiential information.
Optimal Decision Making: By cross-referencing this temporal database, Rafael can instinctively identify the optimal course of action for any given situation. His power processes thousands of potential scenarios and their emotional/physical outcomes to guide his decision-making process.
Accelerated Skill Acquisition: Rafael can learn new skills significantly faster than normal humans by accessing muscle memory, understanding, and experience from his future self. This allows him to rapidly develop competencies in areas he will eventually master.
Technical Engineering: Rafael can create, modify, and repair non-Tinker technology by accessing future knowledge of how devices work, what components are needed, and the precise methodologies required. Unlike Tinker tech, his creations use conventional engineering principles and can be understood and replicated by normal humans.
Sensory Compensation: When any of Rafael's physical senses are impaired or damaged, he can use his temporal database to emulate normal sensory function by accessing sensory experiences from his past and future timeline. This effectively allows him to "see" through blindness, "hear" through deafness, or compensate for other sensory losses by referencing how those senses functioned or will function at other points in his life.
Psychometric Emulation: Rafael can perceive residual information about objects and people by accessing temporal data from moments in his timeline when he encountered or will encounter those items/individuals. This pseudo-psychometry allows him to gather historical information about objects, understand their significance, and gain insights into people he has met or will meet across his lifetime.

Limitations

Mortality Boundary: Rafael can only access experiences from periods when he is alive. His power spans from his birth (a static point) to his eventual death (a fluid endpoint that can change based on his actions).
Temporal Paradox Vulnerability: Changes to his timeline may create gaps or inconsistencies in his experiential database, potentially causing temporary disorientation or decision-making difficulties.
Information Overload: Extended use of his power can cause mental fatigue as his mind processes vast amounts of temporal data simultaneously.
Sensory Dependency: His sensory compensation requires that the impaired sense was functional at some point in his timeline. If born without a particular sense, or if the damage extends beyond his death, compensation may be impossible.
Temporal Interaction Dependency: His psychometric abilities are limited to objects and people he has had or will have temporal contact with across his lifetime. Items or individuals completely outside his personal timeline yield no information.

Secondary Effects

Thinker Disruption: Rafael's ability can overwhelm certain types of Thinker powers, particularly:
- Telepaths: The sheer volume of temporal experiences creates "noise" that can interfere with mind-reading attempts
- Precogs: His access to future experiences can create feedback loops that confuse future-sight abilities
- Empaths: The layered emotional data from multiple timelines can overwhelm emotion-based powers
Stranger Rating: The unpredictability of his responses (due to accessing future knowledge) can make Rafael difficult to predict or profile, earning him a minor Stranger classification.

-'''Rafael Diniz''' is a [[parahuman]] whose ability, '''Chronosynclastic Instinct''', allows him to subconsciously optimize his actions by accessing experiential data from his entire personal timeline. This high-level Thinker power manifests as flawless instinct, accelerated mastery of skills, and an intuitive grasp of technology, while also generating interference against other cognitive powers.
+== Power ==
-==Profile==
+Rafael possesses a temporal-experiential collection ability that allows him to access feelings, sensations, reflexes, and experiential data from across his entire lifetime - from birth to death. This creates a comprehensive internal database of every moment he has lived or will live.
-===Classification===
-'''PRT Threat Assessment:''' <sup>[1]</sup>
-*'''[[Thinker]] 8:''' Demonstrates instantaneous, instinctual guidance for physical, mental, and technical tasks.
-*'''[[Trump]] 2:''' Interferes with the functioning of precognitive, empathic, and telepathic powers.
-*'''Tinker 2 (Apocryphal):''' Exhibits ability to repair and optimize technology through non-standard means; not a true Tinker classification.
-(''Note: Secondary effects may suggest low-level Brute (enhanced endurance), Mover (perfect coordination), and Master (self-mastery) ratings. The core mechanism remains Thinker-based.'')
-===Power===
-Rafael's power is a form of temporal data processing. His shard constantly harvests, compresses, and archives every sensation, reflex, and observation from his past and potential futures. In any given moment, it runs micro-simulations to determine the single most optimal course of personal action, which is then fed directly into his instincts and subconscious reflexes, bypassing conscious thought.
-==== Manifestations ====
+=== Primary Abilities ===
-*'''Instinctive Action:''' His primary manifestation. He operates with flawless, preternatural precision.
-**'''Enhanced Reflexes:''' Moves to avoid unseen threats, exploits openings in combat before they appear, and maintains perfect balance and footing.
-**'''Accelerated Learning:''' Masters complex physical and mental skills in a fraction of the normal time. His performance mimics the perfected muscle memory of a future expert self.
-**'''Social Intuition:''' Guides his tone, wording, and body language to achieve desired social outcomes by drawing on a deep database of micro-expressions and social cues.
-*'''Technical Intuition:''' A key sub-manifestation of his optimization ability.
-**'''Repair:''' His hands move instinctively to diagnose and repair malfunctioning technology without conscious understanding of the underlying principles.
-**'''Creation & Optimization:''' Can assemble and refine non-Tinker technology to its "best possible" form using available components. He cannot innovate beyond current human scientific understanding but can perfectly replicate, combine, and optimize existing designs.
-*'''Sensory Emulation & Compensation:''' If a primary sense is impaired (e.g., blinded by smoke, deafened by an explosion), his power can actively compensate. It cross-references the last known data from the lost sense with real-time data from all other remaining senses and overlays it with a predictive model built from thousands of past and potential future perceptions.
-**'''Manifestation:''' This does not grant him new senses, but rather provides an instinctual, "augmented reality" understanding of his environment. A blinded Rafael might "feel" the location of obstacles and opponents through air currents on his skin, minute vibrations in the floor, and echoes of sound, with his power synthesizing this into a precise instinctual map. A deafened Rafael could read lips with perfect accuracy and intuit sounds from vibrations and visual cues.
-==== Trump Effect ====
+* '''Temporal Data Collection:''' Rafael automatically collects and stores all emotional, sensory, and reflexive experiences from both his past and future timeline. This data is stored in both his conscious and subconscious mind, creating an ever-expanding repository of experiential information.
-His power creates significant interference for other cognitive powers:
+* '''Optimal Decision Making:''' By cross-referencing this temporal database, Rafael can instinctively identify the optimal course of action for any given situation. His power processes thousands of potential scenarios and their emotional/physical outcomes to guide his decision-making process.
-*'''Precognition:''' His actions are informed by data that includes the precog's own future predictions, making his future appear as a shifting, probabilistic haze. He is a "haze" rather than a "blind spot."
+* '''Accelerated Skill Acquisition:''' Rafael can learn new skills significantly faster than normal humans by accessing muscle memory, understanding, and experience from his future self. This allows him to rapidly develop competencies in areas he will eventually master.
-*'''Empathy/Telepathy:''' These powers can only read his surface-level consciousness, missing the vast subconscious data-processing of his power. His instinctive reactions often counter their insights.
+* '''Technical Engineering:''' Rafael can create, modify, and repair non-Tinker technology by accessing future knowledge of how devices work, what components are needed, and the precise methodologies required. Unlike Tinker tech, his creations use conventional engineering principles and can be understood and replicated by normal humans.
-*'''Sensory Manipulators:''' Powers that impair senses are less effective against him. While the initial impairment works, his power begins compensating within seconds, allowing him to adapt and operate far more effectively than a normal person could within the affected area.
+* '''Sensory Compensation:''' When any of Rafael's physical senses are impaired or damaged, he can use his temporal database to emulate normal sensory function by accessing sensory experiences from his past and future timeline. This effectively allows him to "see" through blindness, "hear" through deafness, or compensate for other sensory losses by referencing how those senses functioned or will function at other points in his life.
-==== Limitations ====
+* '''Psychometric Emulation:''' Rafael can perceive residual information about objects and people by accessing temporal data from moments in his timeline when he encountered or will encounter those items/individuals. This pseudo-psychometry allows him to gather historical information about objects, understand their significance, and gain insights into people he has met or will meet across his lifetime.
-*'''The Death Blind Spot:''' His power cannot access data from after his moment of death, rendering it useless in true no-win scenarios. The sudden absence of instinctual guidance or an overwhelming sense of dread serves as a powerful warning signal of a fatal path.
-*'''The Innovation Ceiling:''' His technical skill is limited to the replication, optimization, and repair of non-Tinker technology. He cannot create true Tinker-tech or innovate beyond current human understanding. He functions as an exceptional force multiplier for a true Tinker, refining their work for peak efficiency and reliability.
+=== Limitations ===
-*'''Sensory Compensation Lag:''' While fast, the emulation of a lost sense is not instantaneous. There is a brief but potentially critical delay (a fraction of a second to several seconds) as his power gathers data from other senses and builds its predictive model. Sudden, overwhelming sensory deprivation affecting multiple senses at once (e.g., complete darkness ''and'' silence) can overwhelm this function.
-*'''Information Overload:''' In environments of extreme chaos and high variables, the computational load can induce severe migraines, nosebleeds, and sensory overload, crippling him. He learns to manage this by consciously narrowing his power's focus to sequential, smaller goals.
+* '''Mortality Boundary:''' Rafael can only access experiences from periods when he is alive. His power spans from his birth (a static point) to his eventual death (a fluid endpoint that can change based on his actions).
-*'''Resource Intensive:''' The power requires a immense caloric and metabolic output to function, necessitating frequent consumption of large amounts of food.
+* '''Temporal Paradox Vulnerability:''' Changes to his timeline may create gaps or inconsistencies in his experiential database, potentially causing temporary disorientation or decision-making difficulties.
-*'''Personal Scale:''' The power is optimized for personal, immediate actions. It is less effective for large-scale, abstract problems, though he can break them down into a series of thousands of tiny, optimal personal actions.
+* '''Information Overload:''' Extended use of his power can cause mental fatigue as his mind processes vast amounts of temporal data simultaneously.
+* '''Sensory Dependency:''' His sensory compensation requires that the impaired sense was functional at some point in his timeline. If born without a particular sense, or if the damage extends beyond his death, compensation may be impossible.
+* '''Temporal Interaction Dependency:''' His psychometric abilities are limited to objects and people he has had or will have temporal contact with across his lifetime. Items or individuals completely outside his personal timeline yield no information.
+=== Secondary Effects ===
+* '''Thinker Disruption:''' Rafael's ability can overwhelm certain types of Thinker powers, particularly:
+** '''Telepaths:''' The sheer volume of temporal experiences creates "noise" that can interfere with mind-reading attempts
+** '''Precogs:''' His access to future experiences can create feedback loops that confuse future-sight abilities
+** '''Empaths:''' The layered emotional data from multiple timelines can overwhelm emotion-based powers
+* '''Stranger Rating:''' The unpredictability of his responses (due to accessing future knowledge) can make Rafael difficult to predict or profile, earning him a minor Stranger classification.
