Background
Supernatural Luck is the ability to experience extraordinary fortune or misfortune beyond normal probability. Unlike ordinary luck, which can fluctuate unpredictably, supernatural luck functions as an almost passive manipulation of probabilities, allowing events to unfold in a way that consistently benefits or harms the user. This ability is distinct from mere chance or statistical anomalies; it is an inherent power that actively shapes the user's reality.
Characters with supernatural luck often find themselves miraculously escaping perilous situations, succeeding in impossible endeavors, or experiencing events aligning perfectly in their favor. Conversely, those afflicted with supernatural misfortune may encounter relentless streaks of bad luck, with the universe seemingly conspiring against them. This power is common in fiction, particularly in comedic, adventurous, or chaotic settings where improbable coincidences drive the narrative.
