Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Acrobatics (Naturally athletic), Accelerated Development (Continuous use of one's epithet will cause it to grow stronger), Aura (All epithet users have an aura around them), Consumption (Type 1; Can eat screws and drink from pinecones to regain stamina and health), Forcefield Creation & Limited Invisibility (Indus creates a barrier, can vary widely in size. The barriers can be produced away from Indus, and can float, be shifted around, and also be completely transparent [though he usually makes his barriers a translucent bright orange]. This barrier also features a symbol, which can also be seen on Indus' chest. The amount of barriers he can produce at once is unknown, but the maximum amount shown on screen is 8), Regeneration (High-Low. Characters regenerate after winning a battle. Giovannia could regenerate back his broken bones. Possibly Mid-Godly. Molly Blyndeff has an ability named "Hushabye" which dumbs down the opponent to nothing. She later got attacked by bears and when asked if she could erase the bears, she states that they would just come back after the fight. Since everyone instantly regenerates right after a fight in verse, the characters themselves should be able to come back from existence erasure), Immortality (Type 6; Mera's bones breaking were viewed as -1 damage. It is stated by word of god that everyone in Epithet Erased functions under JRPG mechanics so even attacks that are greatly above them and should kill them can't, for example being shot in the head will not kill them, they are even described as "extremely hard to kill"), Restoration (After battles characters injuries, statuses, etcetera are normally undone, including acts such as de-aging a character, being reverted).

High Resistance to Pain (Characters in Epithet Erased are extremely hard to kill and can survive shots to the head along with taking attacks that break their bones without showing much harm from it), Age Manipulation (After a battle is over, affects such as Zora Salazar's ability to de-age a character, were reverted)

Notable Techniques

• Barrier: Indus' epithet allows him to create barriers.

  • 

    Indus's barrier

    Barrier: Indus creates a barrier, can vary widely in size. The barriers can be produced away from Indus, and can float, be shifted around, and also be completely transparent (though he usually makes his barriers a translucent bright orange.) This barrier also features a symbol, which can also be seen on Indus' chest. The amount of barriers he can produce at once is unknown, but the maximum amount shown on screen is 8. Although barriers appear to be invincible against physical force, they can still be affected by other Epithets.
    • Scattergun: A combo technique he performs with Mera, summoning a barrier that she shatters into pieces, which she telekinetically hurls at their opponents.
    • Unbarrier: Indus' "secret technique", which he uses to make his barriers disappear.

Other

Weaknesses: Has a low creativity so he can't do much else out of creating barriers. Although barriers appear to be invincible against physical force, they can still be affected by other Epithets.
