Description[]
This is the ability to adjust body position with ease and grace beyond human norms.
Uses/Applications (Pros)[]
One with this ability can sprint and jump with ease beyond human norms, at will. In addition, one can flip (ie right oneself from a supine position, cartwheel, somersault, front flip, back flip) with ease beyond human norms, at will. Furthermore, one can climb and swing with speed and ease beyond human norms, at will. One can also dodge with speed and ease beyond human norms, at will. One can even transition from one motion to another (ie pursuit, combat, athletics, dancing), with ease beyond human norms, at will.
Weaknesses/Limitations (Cons)[]
Being highly nimble and limber when performing athletic feats is, foremost, a passive power. If an Agile has no accompanying aggressive powers, no combat prowess, no weapons prowess or simply no weapon, then no direct advantage presents itself, and they must rely heavily on improvisation, or even plain luck, when confronted in direct combat. Otherwise, they are better suited to use their ability for distraction and evasion.
Also, while athletic feats come easily to an Agile, one must be wary not to rely on one specific feat, or one specific type of feat. For example, Diana Prince, Peter Parker and Naruto Uzumaki are three totally different kinds of athletes, but neither lets themselves rely only on leaps, only on flips, or only on swinging from heights. Their maneuverability is versatile across a wide range of terrain, and thus, even when situations call for improvisation, that improvisation comes easier than if they only stuck to what was comfortable.
