Powers and Techniques

Mask Physiology (Which for him gives: Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Can amplify his physical strength, allowing him to perform superhuman strength feats, and superhuman speed feats), Acrobatics, Accelerated Development (Mask have an effect of having people learn higher level skills, like Rider Mask being a master boxer and Sniper Mask being an extraordinary Sniper), Weapon Mastery (Extremely skilled with his sniper), Bloodlust (Upon putting on a mask once she loses all senses of remorse and will following the order given to them without call, being described as even a "bloodthirsty killer"), Enhanced Senses (Angels can naturally sense people. Sniper Mask has echolocation), Transmutation, Energy Manipulation, & Statistics Amplification (Mask users convert energy from another dimension based off their strong emotions and beliefs), Defragmentation (A rare Angel power that allows them to delete the support program installed on their brain by their mask, but in the process increasing their own strength by using the now free calculation power), Mind Reading & Precognition (Analytical Prediction; Mask users can read the movement of the brain).


Resistance to Mind Manipulation (In Highrise Invasion, consciousness is a different world making her naturally resistant to conventional mind hax[1])

All previous powers to a greater extent, Transmutation, Energy Manipulation & Statistics Amplification (This ability strengthens the physical capability the person who has become closer to god, giving them the power to get rid of a mask. In the case of an emergency measure, such as an attack prior to when the code is fully installed, this ability is automatically activated and will no longer be compressed in the wearer's brain), Adaptation (This ability strengthens the physical capability of the person who has become closer to god, giving them the power to get rid of a mask. In the case of an emergency measure, such as an attack prior to when the code is fully installed, this ability is automatically activated and will no longer be compressed in the wearer's brain), Enhanced Senses (Scaling from other mask who can naturally sense people[2]), Mind Reading & Precognition (Analytical Prediction; Mask users can read the movement of the brain), Sealing (Can seal ones powers), Mind Manipulation (If their wavelengths match, or as long as the user's wavelength is above that of the Mask, he or she can control them. Though even if the wavelengths don't match they can still intervene with angels brains. The number of masks that can be controlled differs from person to person. Similar to the first ability, it must be manually activated by that person's mental capacity to figure out how to carry it out. With "Ability to Generate Apostles", Though only confirmed in Mamoru Aikawa, this ability lets the user turn humans into Apostles -- greatly increasing their strength and placing them under deep brainwashing such that they follow every order issued by the user. It is never explained if this works on Masks or Angels. Though it theoretically should), Willpower Manipulation (With "Hibernation Suspension Ability". Even if the wavelengths don't perfectly match, the person who becomes closer to god can intervene with an angel's brain and retrieve the original consciousness from the weak mask's controlling power, ending hibernation status. However, this requires the god candidate to have stronger willpower than the mask to override its control), Energy Projection & Summoning (With "Railgun Control Ability", The ability to fire a railgun from the black tower by inputting commands through a cellphone, as seen with Kuon Shinzaki, the only person known to have this ability), Enhanced Senses (With "Ability to Observe Consciousness", as with Mamoru Aikawa, this ability allows its user to be cognizant of conscious organisms and have a limited sense for where they are in relation to them), Information Analysis (While mentioned in passing[3], this attribute is known to be useful in intuiting the various "levels" of combatants, a utilitarian skill if ever there was one)


Equipment

Sniper Rifle & Throwing Knives


Notable Techniques

Sniper Mask explaining his superhuman hearing
  • Angel: After receiving an Angel Mask the Sniper Mask's brain was hacked and his body was enhanced, increasing his physical strength and skill.
    • Sniping Skills: The mask also installed sniping skills into his brain, turning him into a lethal sniper. Sniper Mask is extremely accurate, able to easily hit any shot in 200m or less, intercept the projectile of a grenade launcher, shoot behind his back and shoot his rifle accurately with one hand through an ajar door without even looking at it. Additionally, Sniper Mask is able to ricochet his bullets to target an enemy in cover. After acquiring some throwing knives Sniper Mask has demonstrated the ability to throw a knife and immediately shoot a bullet so that it ricochets off the knife while in mid-air, giving him the ability to ricochet around cover even in mostly open areas.
    • Hearing: The Sniper Mask's hearing has also been increased to superhuman levels, allowing him to easily identify people by their footsteps and giving him an echolocation-like skill that allows him to grasp the position of his enemies and the environment around him without using his eyes, which combined with his ability to ricochet bullets allows him to snipe people without a line of sight between them.
  • Person Close to God: After being fatally injured, Kuon, a person close to god, managed to transfer the essential parts of her consciousness to Sniper Mask's brain. This transfered Kuon's qualification and capability as a person close to god to Sniper Mask. The transfer was also accompanied by a forced Defragmentation (the elimination of an Angel's mask program) and increased Sniper Mask's physical abilities as an Angel even further than what would normally be achievable with a regular Defragmentation and allowing Sniper Mask to fight evenly with an Apostle like Rika. Kuon's consciousness also remains inside his brain, acting as mental support in a similar way to an Angel's mask program, including the ability to remove the restrictions on Sniper Mask's physical abilities and processing capabilities to allow him to exceed the limits of a regular Angel.

Other

Standard Tactics: He will use his Sniper for long ranged combat and short ranged attacks along with hand to hand tactics.

Weaknesses: At first if he saw a human that wasn't Kuon his mask would command him to kill them if his eyes weren't closed, however, that was removed later on. If he takes off his mask for a long period of time he will be ordered to kill himself. Though this weakness is also removed later on.
