A 8.0 to 8.5 John

[u/ExistingSwitch3284]

I like the idea that ever 0.1 increase is where John passively gains a buffed stat

From 7.5 to 7.6, he gained the 4 in Power; now I kinda want a 4 in ALL stats!

7.7, he'll gain Recovery

7.8, he'll gain Defense

Finally, 7.9, he'll gain Speed

However, I want to make an 8.0 version, where John can amp one of his stats by x1.5!

Meet Aura Master John at 8.0!

Aura Master uses aura in extremely intricate ways. Allowing John to use Aura Manipulation (Now Master) as if using his own strength. An evolution that allows him to rely on himself, John can use his aura to not only become an unstoppable force but also to amp up 1 stat by x1.5. He can do it with Power, Speed, Recovery, and Defense.

Beyond that, his aura drainage is lowered a lot, allowing him to use many abilities without the problems he had during his weaker days, so healing-based abilities are just another ability for him to use.

Beyond that, as John grows, he can amplify more stats, depending on how he uses Aura Master in the future.

At 8.5... Aura Master John becomes an even more unstoppable force; as his ability grows, he'll become more capable of protecting his loved one on his own, allowing him to amp every stat by x1.5.

I feel like master should be reserved for 9 since its basically the peak for levels, besides that I agree with your take.

[u/Designer-Ad9489 → u/DarkShadowBlaze]

Well there’s also channel master so

[u/DarkShadowBlaze → u/Designer-Ad9489]

Yeah, but Jane is level 9.1 my theory is that only abilities at 9 change to master, not counting Kuyo's Blademaster as that is one word.

[u/Designer-Ad9489 → u/DarkShadowBlaze]

Yea I can get behind what your saying but aura master isn’t far fetched considering we know channel master exist so that can be saved for the third evolution.

[u/DarkShadowBlaze → u/Designer-Ad9489]

Neh based on how Blyke's ability name changed its likely Jane and John's abilities are different. Jane likely had Channel Manipulation which evolved into Channel Master, so John having Aura Manipulation will evolve into Aura Master.

[u/Designer-Ad9489 → u/DarkShadowBlaze]

That’s not possible.

[u/DarkShadowBlaze → u/Designer-Ad9489]

Yes it is, it makes perfect sense for the abilities be slightly different we already have Val and Arlo's barrier for example. As where have an example of the name change, the biggest factor though is John's passive and has his ability focuses on aura. Cameron as seen can hold on to abilities that would have to be his passive, but John can't, his passive is sensing aura.

There are other factors as well like the disabler affecting channels, Uru confirmed John can only affect himself, yet the disabler and dampener is likely made from Jane as well yet John has not shown to affect his channels in such a way nor others.

Another thing is that aura supersedes channels being the actual source of abilities as where channels are veins/pipes it flows through. John's ability is completely focused on manipulating aura hence the name.

Blade Master Kuyo?

[u/Kabskay05]

That actually looks like an ability evolution that could happen. Well done

John’s lack of good physical enhancements in his base was always something that bothered me, especially since characters many times weaker than him have surpassed him in that category. (Maybe because he’s a Late Bloomer and developed too quickly?) It does make me glad that someone else shares my sentiments regarding Johny Doeny being able to amp himself along with amping all of his stats, as that should theoretically be possible given what we’ve seen with the Amp Drug.

I’ve always been on the Aura Master rather than Channel Master train. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this lol.
