Background

Users that are naturally unaffected by many things which would be lethal to living beings or even undead due to being an inorganic being themself. Should be noted that the range for this varies and some inorganic beings are considered close enough to humans where they could possibly have none of these abilities. It should be looked at on a case by case basis.

Natural Resistances

  • Resistance to Poison: As the users have no organic functions, like living creatures would, common poison is ineffective against them.
  • Resistance to Biological Manipulation: As users of this ability aren't organic beings, they lack all biological functions, and can therefore also not be manipulated in this manner.
  • Resistance to Diseases: As they lack the body functions of living beings, common illnesses would not harm them.
  • Self-Sustenance: Users of the ability usually don't rely on oxygen or nutrients to function.
  • Resistance to Soul Manipulation: In some cases the user has no soul due to being a non-organic being.
  • Resistance to Mind Manipulation: Naturally the conventional kind that affects the biological self.
  • Resistance to Bone Manipulation: Some of these beings lack things like bones structures.
  • Resistance to Empathic Manipulation: Some of these beings lack emotions or cognitive thought to express emotions.
  • Resistance to Life Manipulation: As they are not organically alive and sometimes not alive at all they would not be affected by the manipulation of life.
  • Resistance to Death Manipulation: Some are not alive making them unable to be killed.

Some Variations

  1. Living Objects: Inorganic objects given life by supernatural means. For example objects that were given a soul and through that were brought to life, beings that are naturally non-organic yet act the same as living beings (example includes the Gorons from The Legend of Zelda).
  2. Non-Living Objects: Robots, AI or other inorganic beings, that have no consciousness beyond what the physical functions of their bodies grants them. This type of character is typically immune to Soul Manipulation due to lacking a soul and is also unaffected by many common forms of Mind Manipulation, since they neither have an organic brain to be manipulated nor have a non-physical consciousness. Since these characters usually also don't have something like life force and aren't alive in the usual sense in the first place, they are furthermore unaffected by common forms of Life Manipulation and Death Manipulation.
