You may be Shardless, but you have one thing going for you—you're a fucking badass! You pick up new skills with ease and master them much quicker than most would. If you weren't already a genius, you become a low-end genius. You become more perceptive. You also find that finding weaknesses in a Parahuman's powers or creations is a lot easier for you than it is for most others.

With this, you’ve been rendered completely immune to being perceived by Thinker abilities. Your future and past cannot be observed, clairvoyants cannot detect you, danger senses cannot warn their users about you, and even models constructed by the user's knowledge yield no results. This is pervading enough that you cannot even be perceived by noticing the blind spots in their sight, such powers simply acting as if you didn’t exist.
You can, at will, allow selected thinker powers to perceive or set up parameters for which they work, such as when a specific person is using it or only when it is beneficial for you. You can rescind this allowance at will at any time.

You can also fake age as if you were growing up normally, although you wouldn't suffer the normal effects of old age. This doesn't increase toughness or physical ability aside from protecting you from the frailty of age.
Cost: 3 CP
Immortality - or even just an extremely long ‘normal’ lifespan - might sound amazing on paper, but it’s not always all it’s cracked up to be: Sure, getting to experience anything the world has to offer without fear of death might be fun at first, but there will come a time where you’ll have tried it all; every activity done, every place visited, every skill learned, every type of person met.
Eventually, at some point, you just won’t be able to get excited for or get any fulfillment from anything anymore - eventually, it’ll wear anybody down: You'll be a walking husk numbed out of all feeling, wishing for that ‘spark’ of life that made everything so vibrant to come back to you.
This fixes that issue; with this perk, you’ll never lose that ‘spark’ again, allowing you to experience whatever the world has to offer as much as you want without ever growing dissatisfied or listless, each time feeling even as fresh and new as the first if you wish. This does not affect your personality, either, only making sure that you'll never be susceptible to ennui and listlessness unless you wish for it.
Cost: 10 SP

Cost: 3 CP
You have a legal identity in the place of your arrival. You can choose to customize this legal identity within reason, ranging from a student of a certain school to a dockworker to a lawyer.

Yesterday's enemies can be today's friends, against a common foe the both of you somehow work wonderfully together.

Your will is absolute, boundless, and unbreakable. Maybe it’s your ideals, maybe it's ambition, or maybe it's just a rock-solid certainty in how you see the world. You are patient beyond belief, even capable of spending countless hours doing mind-numbing tasks. Your willpower is endless and no matter how difficult the situation, even if you're torn in half, locked in a time loop of endless agony for thousands of years, or subjected to a fate worse than death, you'll be able to shrug it off. You will never be left drifting without a sense of purpose, and though you might change your goals and refine your ideals you always have the motivation to fuel turning them into a reality.
This will greatly bolster your sense of self in the face of adversity, and you’ll be able to plant your feet when everyone else is giving up. Of course, you still have emotions and you can still be hurt emotionally, but you'll always be able to maintain your composure and keep your emotions from ruling your decision-making. Take care that you don't become so tunnel-visioned that you fail to see others as actual people with agency.

You won't lose your sanity or rationality under any circumstances unless you're being controlled by a power. And even if you somehow did, no matter the circumstances, you will never lose your humanity and empathy. Your team, family, or friends will always be there to bring you back from the abyss. Your personal issues are much easier to work through and even without help you'll be able to get through them in time. This might take a while if it's bad, but you'll make it out eventually.
This also makes you highly resistant to mental health problems and emotional manipulation, though not completely immune. You’re also really good at helping others through their issues, and it’ll stick more often than not as long as you can get through to them.

Maybe your Victoria Hebert, first daughter of Danny and Anna Hebert and beloved older sister of Taylor Hebert. Maybe you grew up in a different city, maybe your occupation is different, maybe you have more family members, your older or younger etc. While you can’t make any large changes to the setting or storyline with just this, any changes to your life and character are fair game.
(Note: That any changes that would make sense with your other choices are fair game, including large setting changes. If you character insert as Victoria Dallon, but alter your history to have always had an Endbringer controlling power you bought here then you will have your history altered to reflect it as such.)
(Gives access to the character section that lets you modify appearance, sex, occupation, family, etc)
Cost: 5 CP
Incompatible: Disreputable
You gain a reputation easily, a spark of appearance that makes you shine. Your accomplishments are often embellished by others or people just credit things happening to you. Anything you do will be amazing and astounding. Even in losing, you seem to lose gracefully and in winning you seem like an unsurmountable giant. The impression you give can change depending on how you want, you could be cool or cute, handsome or beautiful. The way you move, talk, and fight will always be astonishing, even if you didn't intend to.
This makes it easier to bluff your way out of a situation and gives you leverage in getting what you want. This can be toggled on and off.

Even then they’ll still feel like they’re about to get their teeth kicked in.

This doesn't completely negate the effects of alcohol, but it can help you stay somewhat regulated.

Wildbow's Shard, like any other Warrior Shard, was geared for conflict, and so what would really happen is a bit more spaced out.

Normally a Parahuman's Shard would be located on an alternate uninhabited Earth preventing them from using their power after reaching a certain distance from Earth, but not you. Your Shard instead resides within a pocket dimension connected directly to your Corona Pollentia. Due to this fact, there is no range limit for your power. You could be on the other half of the multiverse and several billion light-years away and your Shard wouldn't even lag, nonetheless stop working. Now the only way to lose your powers is the permanent destruction of your Corona Pollentia.

It somehow went unnoticed by the entities that your Shard had the ability they sought for eons: it defies entropy. Somehow your power allows you to defy entropy and uses this itself to keep it charged. You will never run out of energy. This is more or less useless unless you're either immortal or think you're capable of convincing the entity to leave behind all his other Shards, including Sting, and therefore not kill all humans in exchange for your Shard. A Shard without this perk may still have the ability to defy entropy, but you need to find it yourself because the Shard doesn't already know.

Your powers take on a certain theme. Teleportation now melds with the shadows if you have a dark theme, and Tinker abilities can decorate swords without negatively impacting performance.

You can choose to follow or switch your theme whenever you wish. And rebranding yourself comes to you easier.
Cost: 1 SP
Cost: 2 CP

It can be any song or even an unknown song that fits the current situation. You're not limited by the number of songs you can possess and can even add more songs later on.
The songs you play can be selectively heard by whomever you choose. You can choose to switch your theme song whenever you wish. You can also choose to disable this if you no longer want to.

The Fate or "Canon" of this world is molded by those much higher than yourself and unless intentionally acted against shall follow the same path. Unless you involve yourself directly in the events foretold by Wildbow everything shall follow the path he laid out more or less.

Cost: 5 SP
Incompatible: Entity
Now, even without a specifically geared power, you're capable of traveling to potentially any universe, assuming you have a power that would make it possible. (Any teleportation power or similar that works on memories now works on memories from before you gained powers.) You can travel to other worlds by accessing the medium in which it is depicted. (A Harry Potter book for the Harry Potter universe, a Skyrim game for Skyrim, the One Piece anime for One Piece, etc.)
Cost: 5 SP
Every single aspect of your powers, strength, and perks can be selectively toggled and dialed to the point they can be turned completely off. You can also select people and individuals who are not affected by your perks and powers, making it seem as if they're capable of withstanding reality-breaking attacks. You can scale your reality-ending destruction to be tuned down to cause mild concussions, granting you the ability to not overkill everything in existence. As long as you wish it, It’s almost impossible to kill someone if you don't want to.

Required: Eliminate the Negative
Alongside eliminating any drawbacks your powers come with, you can turn them into strengths.
Whenever you encounter an effect that would naturally weaken or debilitate you as a result of the powers you possess, you are instead enhanced by the same margin.
For example, as a Kryptonian Green Kryptonite would amplify your power to put you as far away in strength from your normal form as you are to humans.
This applies automatically, however you can choose for it to not take effect if you wish for any reason.

In some universes, certain champions of justice travel through the atmosphere at superluminal speeds without igniting everything for miles and lift buildings even though they should crumble due to structural integrity, and now so can you.
Now, not only do you have any required secondary powers that your primary powers might require to be used without horrifying or destructive implications, but provided you have the powers for it, you can lift buildings without them falling apart, go at speeds in the multiple digits without destroying everything if you don't want to.
You now have complete control of the amount of collateral damage your attacks can output such that a planet-busting punch will only affect your enemy, not the planet itself. It all just works.

You find it easier to explain how your powers work and people will have an easier time accepting it in a way that works for them. There can't be some misunderstanding on what you can or can't do unless you purposely make yourself vague.
To the greater world, your out-of-context powers will be forcefully shoved into some random explanation. Maybe your magical totems are some kind of Tinker restriction or psychic powers are some kind of PR move. If you choose to, even doctors doing in-depth medical scans would treat the strange growth in your brain as normal.
Cost: 5 CP
Through a stroke of fate you either have or will soon find your soulmate. Maybe you’ve yet to meet them, maybe you've crossed paths with them in passing, maybe you’ve known them all your life, it doesn’t matter. They are matched to your ideal in every way, and you are the same for them. Whether it’s a romantic interest or a friendship or anything else, you're perfect for each other, you get along easily and flawlessly, your bond is unbreakable, willing to go to hell and back for one another, and every bit of love is reciprocated. All you need is each other and even if that’s all you had it would still be the happiest days of your life. You inspire and support each other to be the versions of yourselves, a shining light of happiness and love in each other's lives. When you next cross paths, you’ll both immediately and unmistakably know that you’re meant for each other.
You can leave this entirely to chance or you may optionally choose now whom this may be, anyone of your choice. Additionally, if you are a reincarnation you may optionally choose your history and your relationship with them, whether they had met you once in passing years ago and have been longing for you more than anything in the world since, or having been in a long term relationship or friendship, or yet to meet or anything else that you can think of.
If you genuinely want this level of relationship or to develop one with someone in the future, you’ll find that things will very quickly and organically progress to this level.

Not only that, but you'll also carry a wonderful scent, perfectly tailored to the liking of yourself and those around you, such that everyone smells you a little different, but loves it all the same. You'll both smell, feel, and be heavenly fresh forevermore.
Cost: 2 SP
You can choose the art style & visuals of whatever universe you're in on the fly. This doesn't functionally change anything, and you're the only one who notices, but sometimes the universe badly needs a redesign.
You can mix and match styles and even set conditions, like if, for example, you wanted everything in the Wormverse to look as gloomy as normal, but in-costume capes looked like four-color comic heroes. That said, this isn't a Thinker power, and you can't use it to "cheat." For example, you can't pull the old video game trick of having plot-important items that look significantly more detailed than regular ones.

All the Entities are not as impossibly powerful anymore.
They will still give most type 3 civilizations a run for their money but a concerted effort and exotic weapon technology can make an Entity cut their losses. Killing one will still require extremely precise tactics and very specific weapons (or the right powers).
If you are yourself an Entity, you are still affected by this perk but to a lesser degree than your siblings.
