Not me learning how terrifying supersonic screams / banshee screams are, and I thought it was terrifying enough Laya’s screams can make a person pop like a balloon, either a human, or a monster (like Giants) but (since her banshee screams are amplified via her demonic powers) noooo. Supersonic screams can damage people’s / creatures’ organs from the inside. Not some thinking migrains or headaches (or damaging ear-drums) are bad.. I’ll talk more about Laya (two days ago was her birthday!)
A little comparison: (Black Canary, Sindel, and Laya)
Let’s start with Black Canary (300 decibels Dd)
Her screams are powerful enough human’s ear rupture. Organs damage.
Sindel (fromk mk) 260 to 280. (From a reddit post). Her screams can shed people’s skins
Now to Laya 320 to 400 Dd. (In my worldbuilding such sound length exists - since the world is coated with magic.)
This is a quoted sentence: “360 dB: this immense energy creates localized vaporization. The pressure wave would strip the flesh from bones and shatter the skeletal structure into dust in milliseconds.”
So if 360 is horrific, you could imagine what 400 would do! (I mentioned in this post how powerful and frightening her screams are.) post
Resource
But fear not! She doesn’t actually use them on weaker creatures like humans or, just creatures that are fragile as a whole. She’d use them on constructs: like golems for example. Major drawbacks? She need to recharge (like taking big gulps of air) and hydrate herself. I’m not going to create a nearly invincible Oc (that’s too boring for me) I want something realistic.
Against humans? There is her hair powers (hair manipulation) she can use her hair. Yes, it is like alive sentient being - can grow unnaturally and extended in length and density. If a person would chop it? The tresses would simply regrow back.

Special Moves:
🌌 Aetherial Ascension 🌌 - The user envelops themselves in pure aether, gaining enhanced strength, speed, and durability for a limited time. Their body glows with celestial energy, intimidating foes and inspiring allies.
🌠 Twilight Convergence 🌠 - The user manipulates the balance of light and dark energy, creating a powerful energy beam that can obliterate enemies or heal allies, depending on their intent.

Ethereal Overload: Using too many high-energy abilities in quick succession causes the user to lose control, potentially unleashing uncontrollable energy surges.
Dream Tethering: Using dream-based abilities risks the user being pulled into the dreamscape, leaving their body vulnerable.
Celestial Anchor: The user’s ethereal body becomes unstable if they remain in their enhanced form for too long, potentially turning them immaterial and unable to interact with the physical world.
My brother just asked me “if you could smell ANYTHING what would you smell… like, the essence of life.. all the knowledge in the world…

Average conversation between my brother and myself while walking up to the school bus.

Striker effect, makes the person affected just do the kindest thing.
In theory she could end wars with the touch of the hand, but mostly she just wears gloves when around friends and family because she is never sure what's really nice and what's her.
He sends out a field and all in the area are annoyed, agitated, or anxious because of it, like the feeling of a subtle beeping, or a gnat near your ear, or just the softest sound leaking from the apartment adjacent. The feeling of annoyance, agitation, or anxiety hightens the longer he holds the field up and the longer someone remains in it. It can cause dissociation, and in extreme situations hallucinations.
She is blind and deaf on her own, but can see and hear what the people in a radius around her see and hear. I think it'd be really cool if maybe she triggered a second time and was able to sense through and relay off of other Parahumans in a Trump kind of way, so she could see and hear through regular humans, but use the power granted senses of other capes, like seeing and hearing through Taylor's bugs, seeing through Grue's darkness, sensing humans like Samuel does, ect. But it's limited to sensing, like how Sprite can only copy mover parts of powers
