Ok, I and a friend was talking about how people seem to have lost most of their abilities or just don't seem to use them anymore. And when some one shows these lost or forgotten skills and abilities most people tend to think it is some kind of ESP (extrasensory perception). I want to see what you people think?

Ok, I wouldn't get into all we talked about but the main focus of the talk was a thing I like to call "jungle sense". In short jungle sense is being overly aware of your surroundings to the point of your senses being raised to above normal. Now, I come from a military family and is part of a warrior bloodline, and the same can be said of my friend. But unlike me he dosen't have any jungle sense, but his big brother and little sister have it.

To him he thinks things like jungle sense comes form DNA, but I think it has more to with lifestyle because everyone seems to have it but not everyone uses it. You see both his bro and I had to fight on order to live and live each day not knowing if it would be our last. His sister on the other hand likes to box. But has never been in a real fight his whole life, which maybe why he dosen't have any jungle sense.

I can go into this more, but what do y'all think? And feel free to talk about other froms of ESP or things like that.

I think its very possible as im capable of spotting alot that others cant from a distance.. and i need glasses XD.
but yeah i believe you probably are right that its a life style thing. never being in a fight and never having been bullied means that you have no reason to take care of yourself in that sense.
e.g. my gf has never been in a fight so she wont go to the city alone after 8 while i sometimes (depending on the country as closing times are different) will saty outside the whole night just going for a walk and going to shops. I know i can take care of myself she doesnt.

Lol, you should take her out one day and stay out until late in night to see the giant city rats that come out at that time. Down here in the topics the rats are about the size of small cats (some are bigger). I'll like to see how she'll react to that, lol. And yes, I know, I'm evil so what twisted .

Anyway, you don't have be fighter or have been bullied to have and use things like jungle sense. I had my jungle sense before I became warrior, because I was raised in the streets and lived in the ghetto/hood. And if you didn't have alot of friends to watch your back you better have some skills or abilities that can save your life.

This is way I named this ability "jungle sense" because the only other group of people at I knew of who had jungle sense was ex-military people who was on the frontlines. And sence my dad and most of the ex-military I knew was from the Vietnam War, it just seemed to fit.

It is the fight for survival that seems to be the main trigger for these latent skills and abilities to become activated. But my friend is right about one thing, there some abilities that can only come from DNA and bloodlines. But bloodline trates seem to be less and less common to the point where only three types of bloodlines skills are still around, the royals (blue bloods), the super warriors, and the super slaves.

And yes, the super warrior and super slave bloodlines are still around. But for the most part only the people from these bloodlines know about them.

Im not really surprised about that... however it doesnt surprise when i come to think of it. my best friend Travis's father was in vietnam, he was the last survivor of his unit. mustve been s**t scared.

my cousine was scared of monkeys running acroos a hallway rofl so you know. and the ghetto thing with friends? easily understood ive never really had friends but ive had gang invites When i moved to holland and singapore (i was lucky that i both didnt care for it and had friends who kept me in the shade of the eyes).

Farmer families can have it to btw wink because they allways work hard and if their life is threatened they can be scary people eek

rofl , farmer families, that dosen't serprise me. The first ninjas was vary upset farmers and feild workers. That's is the main reason why most ninja weapons are also farm tools.

Also, I'm starting to think things like movies and anime are making it harder for people to talk about these skills and abitiles without sounding like some kind of fanasty or anime nut. Did people forget that fact is often stranger than the strangist fiction?

Case and point: I was in the gym talking to someone about swords (I didn't know the guy, but I could tell by the way he moved that trained in the martial arts). Then we started to talk about the pros and cons of different types of swords. I said something along the lines of "yea, but you can't do things like wind cutter with those swords. I like being able to hurt someone without touching them." Then some other people jumped in said things like we was crazy or lying or we been watching to much anime. We had to stop our and expline things like fighting styles, sword types, air pressure, and vacuums to these people.

Another cause and point: I was explining to those guy from a martial arts class how I was able to read his moves and copy them. Then some guy jumps and asked did I have the "sharingan". At that time I didn't know what he was talking about, it was only until the next week when a friend told me what it was. Now, thinks to anime like Naruto, I can't talk to people about the ability to analyze and mimic your opponents without someone saying something like sharingan to me. evil

I believe I have some sort of jungle sense. I haven't really been into any serious fights (will explain), but I was bullied as a kid and I guess I've been very suspicious of people ever since. I hear better than most people, which makes it hard to scare me, I am good at spotting things others don't (even though I also need glasses) and I can somewhat "sense" people in the same room as me.

I have been in a few fights with friends, but mostly just to practice and raise my pain tolerance. I do not know why, but I react very aggressivly when someone touches me, so getting into a fight would probably mean the death for one of us.

For example, this weekend I was out with a few friends (they asked me to keep an eye on them since they tend to do a lot of stupid stuff), and after a few hours when we're heading home, my old classmate, Fredrik, turns around and hits me in the face for no reason at all. Before I know it I've kicked him to the ground and sit across his chest with my fingers neatly wrapped around his neck.

So I'd rather not get into fights unless absolutely necessary. I think I inherithed "warrior" blood from my grandpa (He fought in WWII), because while I can't really imagine myself wrapped around some girl kissing her, I can imagine myself killing people. o.o

That makes sence because one one of things passed on by bloodlines are things like bloodlust and killer instincts, mostly though warrior bloodlines. Slave bloodlines tend to have size and power; while royal bloodlines tend have charisma.

Lucky for me I'm a mix of all three. My bloodline is mostly of warriors and slaves, with a few chiefs thrown in. As side effect for the first half of my life I spent most of my time trying to get my bloodlust and killer instincts undercontrol. I alwayed feared losting control around my loved ones. Trust me, if you what to see an juggernaut just look at anyone with the body of a slave and the bloodlust of a warrior. I hated being a berserker as kid.

Anyway, sensing things like you're being watched or when someone or something enters your space are farily common, but most people tend to ignore these things.

I learned over the years that if you are looking for someone who is hiding the easist way to do it is that you don't try to sense them, but you try to sense the void they are trying to make. So, whenever you sense a void or lack of something most likely something is trying to hide in it. lol , and people wonder why they can't sneck up on me.

I dunno bout you 2 but i feel like we have very similar attributes from different families xd

My great grandfather and great grandmother never fought the war but they survived and went through it. I come from a farm type family with strong bonds to eachother who are very fond of physical work more then mental work but is generally more clever then the average nerd.

I have got similar attributes to Nebel cept people never want to fight me so i need to keep myself in top shape >_>...

You Arch have alot of Blood line history as far as i can gather but your skills are.. similar to mine and Nebels.

Yea, that is because I like to study things like the human body and history. It was that mixed if the stories about my family that I first learned of bloodlines and the thing that come with it. The more I learnd about it the more learn about myself. But coming form African American slaves we can only trace our family trees back so far without D.N.A. testing.

One thing I learned about the bloodlines is at all of them seem to be part of some human breeding program. Slave were teated livestock and was forced to have bigger and stornger offspring (this is way African Americans today tend to be bigger and stornger than most). The super soldier or super warrior project can be traced to before the Romen imperor, were good warriors was givin better things and encourage to have storng offsping that can fight. And everyone knows about the royals only breeding with royals thing, with the blue bloods toke that idea to the extrem.

But in todays world you we are seeing the bloodlines mix to make new types of people. They even found that there are two D.N.A. codes that adds to a person being smart. If you have one of the codes you are above average, but if you have both. For the time being only about 30-40% of the human pop. has one of the two codes. I forget the number for people who have both codes, but know it is low.

There is group of people called the "Gene hunters" or "D.N.A. hunters" They have been going all over the world looking for different types of genes for a number of reasons. But who knows what you can do with info.

I have never had the time to study my bloodline.. But I am rather sure I am from a warrior bloodline. I'm rather strong for a guy who doesn't work out like my other friends, know how to use weapons and I'm agile and and that stuff.

The bad thing is that there is no war going on any everyone's into this "Love Era", so I've learned to keep my dirty little secret to myself. I'm like a close-perfection killing machine - Asexual, high pain tolerance, I know my way around weapons, no fear of death, I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and don't really care what others think of me.

Think of it. Einstein could've been a close-completion/complete "Smart-class" person. Gustav Vasa, for example, fixed Sweden's economy, and he was considered a good king. (Leder-Class) Rambo must've been a complete Warrior-class! (I don't really know of any outstanding lone soldier yet, since they always talk about the leader)

Could it be so that sometimes, Elite-class persons are born, or am I rambling? o_o

Elite-Class people are often not interested in anything but their "job", so yeah, I guess. I wonder how the world would look if all the Elite-Class people ruled... confused

But, no, I don't. :3 As I said, my grandpa is from Austria... It is possible that my grandma has some viking blood.. I'm not really sure. Possibly.. Maybe I have Roman blood in me? surprised

I don't have that much military blood in me. My grandpa was in the Korean War for a little while, but he was in the navy during that. And my dad went to military school.

My grandmother told me about a great great aunt of mine who killed her husband with a butcher knife. Maybe I'll inherite that... >>;;

I tried martial arts last year and learned a lot from it, aside from my knuckles bleeding. I'm hoping to try something more simple this summer, like Tai Kwan Dao. I can't just rely on people... I have to learn to stick up to myself. And when I fight, I don't really know when to hold back, so I really want/need to discipline myself.

"We learn to fight, not so we may make battle. We learn to fight, so we may stop battles." I forgot who told me that but he was a good teacher.

I never had discipline; in fact I still don't. But most of my fighting teachers saw that I am ordered chaos, so they let me get away with acting wild and crazy. lol , one of my friends sew me fighting a few days ago and sad it is people like me that characters like Vash the Stampede is based on.

I was never called that before so I had to laugh at it. But now that I think about it, I can see why he said that. Most of the time I act crasy, lazy, and dumb. But in fact I'm highly intelligent, with cat-like reflexes, near perfect muscle control, I have blurring speed over short distances, and very agile. I sometimes demonstrat these abilities in using everything as weapon (everything from my body to the battlefield itself), dodging both melee and ranged attacks from point-blank, and doing things like wall running and jumpping.

But most of the people in my family and the some of the people I grew up with can do the same kind of stuff, so I never paid much mind to it. It is only now within the past few years I'm starting to learn how odd and weird I ready am. I really did think the things I do was normal. Now, I just learned that one of the names people call me behide my back is "Superman" cry . As if it was not bad enough finding out I'm not normal, but also finding out that alot of people don't even think I'm human.

Suddenly, all those comments about me being an animal or being inhuman or fighting like a man possessed has a new meaning to me. I use to think being called things like that was a good thing. But now, I don't know if I should take those comments as a good thing or a bad thing anymore. confused
