Shinsu Resistance

Shinsoo resistance is an ability which allows you to resist and survive a certain amount of damage incurred from Shinsoo attacks caused by an ability or a weapon.

Depending on one's amount of Shinsoo resistance, it allows one to move around in areas with a certain amount of Shinsoo density or rather, viscosity, without incurring too much or any restriction of movement. If the density is much higher than one can withstand, it can cause great pain and possibly, nausea(ch11). One can also try to force themselves through an area with a density higher than their body can withstand but they might bleed.

Note: Shinsoo by itself has no common law. It behaves differently on every Floor and each Floor has areas of varying amount of Shinsoo density. In lower concentrations, it's like a gas but in higher concentrations, it's like water.

Shinsoo resistance is inborn but most likely, only for Tower inhabitants. This is because for those who come from outside the Tower(Irregulars and certain Regulars), air and not Shinsoo exists in their world. Although there may be a few similarities between air and Shinsoo, the dissimilarities mean one can't easily draw a conjecture like "these similarities between air and Shinsoo, allow these people to survive in a Shinsoo environment".

Shinsoo resistance is also inherited, meaning it can be passed down through a lineage. For example: Yuri Zahard has unnaturally high Shinsoo resistance (ch 25). And she probably inherited it from her grandmother Ha Yurin Zahard or if not, her parents.

There are also ways Shinsoo resistance can increase. The first is by a contract: like Ruler's Contract.

The second is by slowly getting used to an area of high Shinsoo density like Rak Wraithraiser who likely hunted on other Shinheuh in areas of different density. As one climbs up the Tower, one also gradually gets used to shinsoo of different density or visocity.

The third may be by getting used to attacks of different Shinsoo intensity, over time, as one goes up the Tower.

There may be other ways of increasing Shinsoo resistance. But if it can be increased, then does this mean it can decrease? This too is currently unknown.

The complete set of laws governing Shinsoo resistance are also currently unknown. It's also unknown how people from outside the Tower who enter it, "attain" this ability when it's supposed to be inborn or if there are an additional set of rules governing them.
