[James]

One measly one this time 'round.

Analyze - With an acute attention to details scaling down to the wrinkles of the skin about the face and body, James can accurately distinguish characteristics, body language and even, given enough time, entire personalities and past dialogues spoken by an individual. This comes from a subconscious level of awareness that provides data in the form of muscle memory into various points throughout his body, enabling a type of record-keeping. These record themselves as "codes" on his subconscious data bank which can then be later accessed to induce a state of euphoria where James is capable of temporarily losing himself in the personality, taking on its aspects as though he were the individual themselves.

Perhaps it'd help if I explained a bit more?

The way I want this played out is that Analyze is a passive ability that's continuously active. It works when James runs into another person's character who he finds interesting and proceeds to visually dissect, gaining an idea of the individual. He can then replicate that person's personality, gestures and movements (how they walk, stand, etc.) with the exception that he can't mimic voices.

So far as its use for combat my plan was having "representations" of attacks from a copied character. For example... Ander's X-Ray Vision and Piper's Ki Net.

Because Ander's X-Ray Vision isn't a physically manifest technique, it isn't something James can replicate. Piper's Ki Net would have James simply firing off a volley of uncontrolled blasts given the "freezing" element of the attack would require a deeper, unseen control that isn't given physical shape when Piper is using the move.

So the restrictions would be anything that can be outwardly seen otherwise James isn't able to see the various inner workings of the technique. This keeps from needing "Mimic" and "Mediumship" in the equation and still offers room for flexibility.

Oh, and each of the "technique representations" will be Custom Techs going under different names, paid for in full.
