List of powers in Guardian

[likealeafonthewind]

I meant to post this awhile ago because I'd put it together, oh gosh, back in June and I could have sworn that I did but I can't find it on my own journal so here it is: a list of all the Dixing powers we see in Guardian, and some non-Dixing powers as well. I've listed reference eps for the ones I came across during rewatches but it's incomplete so if anyone wants to contribute some ep numbers, please do and I will update this!

There's that guy around in episode 16 who can 'harden his lower body' - a bit like the Regent's attendant, I guess, but more limited.

Shen Wei refers to Feng Qubing as Dixingren in episode 23 (around 28 minutes). I'd be inclined to take his word for it.

ETA some checking done:

Wu Xiaojun - ep 5
Ye Huo - ep 18
Sha Ya - ep 26
Hua Yuzhu - ep 29
Zhang Shi - ep 30

Correction: unnamed Dixing girl isn't possessing anybody, she merely exchanged herself and Zhou Weiwei with the latter's consent - they maintained separate bodies throughout.

[rheasilvia]

This is wonderful - an extremely useful reference guide! Thank you. :-)

One note: I would phrase Shen Wei's learning power as "Learning Dixing powers", since the current phrasing seems ambiguous and he can't learn Haixing / general abilities by watching.

[likealeafonthewind]

Oh, that's right! Thanks for the catch. Okay, I've changed it to "Exchanging places with a person through via a mirror" and moved it to space-time...I think space-time makes the most sense? But trying to categorize these powers has been a mission sometimes.

[extrapenguin]

Hmm, yes, I think the mirror dimension thing was also something she generated, so space-time might be fitting. But the powers do occasionally resist classification and even pithy description!

[likealeafonthewind]

Huh, I think I thought that was the same guy, oops. I've added him and moved Feng Qubing's to metaphysical.

Thanks for all the ep references!

[likealeafonthewind]

Okay, I've clarified it. And you're welcome! I wanted to have a handy reference for fic purposes and since I couldn't find one, I decided to make one. I'm planning on putting it into the wiki soon.

Your icon is perfect for this, lol.

You're welcome!

This is a fantastic resource. ^_^ Thanks for putting it together!

(And since I just subscribed to you, hello!)

[likealeafonthewind]

Thank you and you're welcome and hello!

[tinny]

Ooooh yes, drawerizing! I approve! I can't even imagine how long it must have taken to collect all these. (My knowledge of Guardian canon is fuzzy at the best of times. ;))

[likealeafonthewind]

It took 2-3 weeks, I think. I had some that I remembered and some I added during rewatches and some that I'm pretty sure my friends must have contributed because there's no way I managed to remember all of this on my own. The hardest part was trying to categorize them all.

Ooo so useful for fic research, thank you!
