What is Unluck ablity?
Fuuko's power is Unluck, a negator's ability: there are those who have the ability to negate parts of reality. Fuuko's ability brings misfortune to everyone who has direct contact with her skin; the degree of misfortune depends on how much love Fuuko has for that person.
How does Unluck work?
Unluck is activated each time someone touches Fuuko's skin. The worse the impact on the other person in proportion to how much Fuuko cares about that person is hit by the unlucky repercussions. It can be as mild as tripping on the spot, or it can be disastrous. Instead of tripping, a mere touch is enough to pull the person onto the ground. The more deliberate the intent to touch Fuuko's skin, the graver the accident.
Fuuko keeps learning, and upon mastering her power with perfect fine-tuning, she starts leading bad luck and, to great effect, applies it to inanimate objects. The power is now versatile and strategic in battles.
Impact on Fuuko’s Life
Life has always been positively affected by Fuuko because of Unluck. From the very beginning, it made her stay alone as she feared causing harm to anyone whom she cared about. It's only when Fuuko meets Andy, another protagonist who can grow back from any wound, and sees how that ability was used so magnificently that things change. Together, they enter the Union, an organization of Negators, to gather all the unconscious continents to complete the Apocalypse Quest and thus save the world.
Fuuko's Unluck is such a phenomenal and complex ability that adds to the character of Fuuko and to the whole storyline of Undead Unluck. It emphasizes acceptance, control, and the effects of one's ability on one's life and relationships.
