Jules has the power of psychometry, which involves perceiving the residual information of an object (e.g. history, maker, previous owners) or a person (e.g. discerning species, sensing other entities attached).

She's able to identify disguised demons from her own world by touch: upon touching a disguised demon she receives a sudden, objective knowledge of their true self. Powerful demons also change the 'atmosphere' of a room or area in subtle ways, so she is able to sense those simply by proximity. She usually sees possessed individuals as having extra shadows or indistinct blurs following them around or attached to them. Heavenly celestials have a soft white glow.

When it comes to other player characters in-game, the easiest solution I've come up with is to assume that non-human characters or humans with powers/magic from different worlds to Jules would not register, unless you as a player want to play with the idea of having Jules recognise something inhuman/metahuman in your character. There's a form below for you to fill out if you want Jules to discern these things.

This is also available for any powered items your character might have, with the same caveats – only if you as a player want to have Jules sense something about the object will she be able to do so.

Character name:
Species/ability/object: Basically just summarise what kind of creature they are (e.g. vampire, demon, witch, ghost, etc.), and/or what metahuman abilities they might have (e.g. telekinesis, immortality, magic, etc.), and/or the object they have (e.g. flaming raging poisoning sword of doom, protective amulet, hat previously owned by famous cowboy, etc.).
Visibility: How 'visible' do you want this aspect to be? Would Jules be able to sense this about your character from across a room, or would you rather she only sense it after touching? Would you rather Jules know the specifics of any powers they have, or simply that they are magical/powered in some way?
Anything else: This is not necessary, but if you have any details on how it will 'feel' to sense your character you can list them here. For example, do they have a glow about them? Are they especially hot or cold to the touch? Are they strong enough to impact her feelings with a sense of dread or joy? Are there any physical changes to their features (e.g. changing eye colour, visible wings, fangs, etc.)?
