I usually do not see anything important, either.

the "windows" are different from being "called" to speak with a person.

To: bad company; King Prout; Darksheare; Conspiracy Guy; OSHA; Laura Earl

1/2 Wyandot (with a dash of french)

1/2 who knows what on the Y side but with a lot of Welsh and various other things brought in through the X side.

It runs in both sides of the family but is fairly mild on moms side. On dads we have the Kentucky Derby with all of his siblings having it to some extent.

This generation only my brother and I have it.

Physically: fine bone structure.

5" and a fraction.

Between 0 and 200....Oh all right 105.

Dark brown hair that started getting sprinkled with silver when I was 17. About 5% silver now and no I don't dye it. I am who I am.

Black eyes from birth

Skin, very light and I do not tan at all.

Very strong for my size. I can lift my weight in equipment and carry it. If I lay hands on something and want it to move, it moves.

Have to be careful about what I eat which is why I am in to cooking.

I wonder: do you have an immediate adverse reaction to caraway seeds?

I don't use them in cooking. Not as bad as green pepper but not my favorite thing.

hrmn.
Is it that you don't like them or that you cannot abide them?

for us, it isn't even a matter of taste: I tested one of my nephews (with my sister's grudging consent) when h was three years old by placing a caraway seed on the skin on the back of his hand for five minutes... it raised a small blister.

something in us does not abide something that is in them.

My dad installed it when I was about five.

My great-grandma died and we went to the funeral. There was a major amount of hostility floating around and I was picking up on it.

As I grew up I learned how to use it both defensively and offensively.

Just do not like I think.

Will not eat. I don't believe I have ever touched them so I don't know.

Very interesting. Maybe I should buy some and experiment.

Sounds familiar.

ah, a guard program later integrated/subsumed into your own systems.

cute.

done a couple of them - they do seem to work.

I've 'disappeared' while standing in plain sight.
Dunno how I 'do' it, I just do.
I have discovered that it is somewhat random as I'll be deep in thought sitting alone and will be spotted, or I'll be sitting down and not be seen at all.

Weird, but useful at times.

something like that, yes.

the usual reaction from the uninvited guest is "recoil in horror, depart in haste"

Yes, it is odd.
I think it may be that people who have these kinds of 'talents' tend to gravitate towards each other in one way or another.
(Sometimes people with similar talents dislike each other intensely but for some inexplicable reason are friends.. Noticed that in 'the real world' a few times.)

Not so off the wall the way questions go.

Unknown.
It is guessed that there's a Celt or three in the ancestry.
Mom's side of the family has been said to have "Black Irish" in the family tree somewhere.
(Proving difficult to track down.)

But there is one person who was into witchcraft known in the family roughly around 1880's.
(Named by family nickname "Sadie". [Sarah])

So some pretty weird stuff is known in the family.

plain-sight invisibility is, I think, more an inherent knack than a learnable skill. There are tricks which can refine the skill, though.

Most people's eyes dart around constantly, not under conscious control. they build a soert of automatic-pilot model of their environment, and only notice objects and motion in the focal zone. departing tangentially away/by a person when their eye darts in the opposite direction, your motion gets masked by the motion of the eye itself. When they next look back to where you were, you have "disappeared".

that's a bio-neuro trick.

the "ki" side of it, otoh... how can I explain what I can do but cannot claim to understand HOW i do it?

What is known for certain in my ancestry is *ptui* French and German.

Beyond that it starts becoming guesswork.
But..

5'5" 110lbs
Eyes: Brown eyes, iris turns reddish under certain moods/emotions. (Embarrassing to say exactly which emotions)
Hair: Seasonal change dark brow/black in winter going red/crimson redbrown in summer depending on sun exposure.

Pasty pale skin unless exposed to sun often, then it's a mild light tan/light sallow.
Talon hands/ 'darth vader grip'.

I also burn off anything I eat rapidly, gaining weight is a nightmare.
I'm told that I surprise people with my grip at times.
(My brother in law, when he told me that my step-daughter was dead, went to grab me to keep me standing. He ended up asking me to let go of him. He's 6 foot and 200 pounds.)

Heard of it.
Great grandfather had it.
