Professor Layton Magic AU
- Layton is a shapeshifter: specifically, he can turn into animals that he has touched before. He’s one of the few shapeshifters who is able to keep his wits and human conscience while an animal. However, it’s very taxing to do so, so he doesn’t shift often, if at all.
- Luke has empathy and weak telepathy. His telepathy only works on animals: that’s why he can really speak to them. When it comes to humans, he can only pick up on emotions (love, anger, jealousy, etc.) with his empathy. The stronger the emotion, the clearer he sees it.
- Flora is a witch, that meaning she has no innate powers, just a vague magic which she can use to craft potions, talismans, and the like. Her magic can also be channelled through specific wands. She’s awful at brewing and usually just sticks to talismans.
- Emmy has, and just hear me out on this, aeromancy. Which sounds lame, but just imagine: using aeromancy to jump higher, punch harder, and kick faster. Using aeromancy to push the enemies around or hold them in place. Using aeromancy to mess with the scenery to get the perfect shot with her camera. Emmy using aeromancy.
- Descole is also a shapeshifter, but, instead of being able to turn into animals, he can turn into a perfect replica of any person he touches. It isn’t able to mimic their mannerisms, though, so he still has to study them closely to be able to pull it off.
- Don Paolo’s powers have nothing to do with shapeshifting; he’s just that good at disguises naturally. In fact, his power has to do with machinery. He’s able to immediately tell what a machine is and how it works simply by touching it, as well as building machines effortlessly by “speaking” to the materials.
- Grosky has super-strength. Aurora is a magic golem. Anton is actually a vampire. Janice is a siren. Claire can skip ahead and view the future. Dimitri can travel back in time. Clive is a human lie-detector.
