Sheer Will

Snake through sheer willpower alone is able to keep moving

Background

Sheer Will is the extraordinary ability to possess an abnormally strong sense of willpower. This enables the user to resist various forms of temptation and manipulation, such as Mind Manipulation, Telepathy, and Empathic Manipulation. Through sheer determination, users can endure immense physical pain and psychological trauma, refusing to give up even when facing insurmountable odds. At its most advanced, this ability allows individuals to defy their own limitations, cheat death, and achieve extraordinary feats of perseverance. The degree of Sheer Will varies among users, with advanced practitioners achieving seemingly impossible feats of perseverance and resistance. Less experienced individuals may only demonstrate moderate resilience in challenging situations.
