Background

Vacuum Breathing is the ability to survive and breathe in the absence of any atmosphere, such as in the vacuum of space. Characters with this ability do not require external air sources, often due to unique physiology, supernatural powers, or advanced technology. This ability allows them to exist and function in environments completely devoid of breathable elements, such as outer space or sealed-off vacuums.

Applications

• Enables survival in space or other vacuum environments without suffocation.
• May grant immunity to decompression or other vacuum-related hazards.
• Facilitates combat, travel, or exploration in areas without an atmosphere.

Variations

Natural Vacuum Breathing

• The ability is an innate trait of the character's species or physiology, allowing them to survive in vacuums naturally.
  • Examples: Kirby (Kirby)

Ability-Based Vacuum Breathing

• This variation is achieved through supernatural, psiconic, or magical abilities that sustain respiration in vacuums.
  • Examples:

Technology-Assisted Vacuum Breathing

• The ability is facilitated by advanced technology or suits that simulate breathing in a vacuum.
  • Examples:

Users

• Kirby (Kirby): Kirby can inhale and function in space without any difficulty, showcasing a natural ability for vacuum breathing.

Possible Limitations

• The absence of other life-support factors, such as temperature or radiation protection, may still pose a threat.
• Characters relying on technology may be vulnerable to equipment failure.
• Natural or ability-based vacuum breathing may be limited to specific types of vacuums (e.g., space but not artificial vacuums with extreme conditions).
