Summary
Body Puppetry is the ability to control the bodies of others. Unlike its counterparts Mind Manipulation and Possession, it does not work by controlling the mind or inhabiting a body, rather it functions by controlling another's body directly from a distance without affecting the soul or mind, however, the end result is often extremely similar, so it can often be confused as either the abilities mentioned above, even in-verse.
By forcing an opponent to act against their will, users become virtually impossible to fight against through conventional means.
This can often be accomplished via Biological Manipulation or Blood Manipulation. Not to be confused with Body Control, which relates to manipulating of one’s own body.
Limitations
- People affected by this ability may still be able to fight back, typically by using special abilities that don't require their body moving.
