Possession



Possession is the ability for another being to take control of another being's form, e.g. body, it's different from mind control, by the fact that the being has to physically enter the other, to control them.

Certain creatures require human bodies to interact with the physical world, namely Angels, and Demons.

All beings, excpet angels, with this power, can take control of the person in question involuntarily, while angels must bear permission of the host.

The most advanced known form of this, is the ability to posses a Reaper, something that only Azazel has accomplished, although archangel possession is also complex.

While it's possible for the human to overcome possessed by a demon, it's nearly impossible to overcome angelic possession, however Sam intrinsically overpowered Lucifer. Lucifer's voice can seemingly possess people, probably being unique to only him, as shown when he talks through a nun while still in the Cage.

Protection
Against demons:


 * Anti-Possession Tattoo: Such a tattoo prevents demonic possession from occurring.
 * Devil's Trap: It binds a demon to a location, making them powerless until they escape.

Against angels:

As shown, it's near physically impossible to remove an angel once inside a vessel, however saying "no" will prevent possession.


 * Holy Oil: Working very similarly to a Devil's Trap, an angel is trapped within flames. However, unlike the Devil's Trap, the trapped angel still can use their powers, and can even escape, but at the cost of their vessel and life.

Creatures with this ability

 * Archangels
 * Angels
 * Demons
 * Eve
 * Ghosts (some, rare)
 * Khan Worm
 * Leviathans

Something else
Body Materialization is the ability to summon or create a physical body; normally for an ethereal/spiritual being to use to effectively opperate in the physical world. Acheri Demons can materialize themselves as little girls without need for a body to possess. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalpse maybe able to materialize their own human bodies.

Known Holders

 * Acheri Demons (As little girls)
 * The Four Horsemen of the Apocalpse (Possibly)
