# JIKKO Character Kit Audit - Issues to Address
## Character Kit Coverage Analysis
*Tracking which character abilities don't fully map to our current Universal Aspects Catalog*
---
## IDENTIFIED GAPS
### 1. Atmospheric/Wind Control Expansion Needed
**Characters:** Eyra
**Current Coverage:** Partial (we have pressure aspects)
**Missing:** Dedicated wind/air manipulation, atmospheric pressure control, weather effects
**Solution:** Expand environmental aspects or add Atmospheric World
### 2. Team Support/Buff Mechanics
**Characters:** Eyra (area speed buffs), others likely
**Current Coverage:** Limited
**Missing:** Systematic buff/debuff framework, team enhancement aspects, aura effects
**Solution:** Add Support Aspects category to catalog
---
## CHARACTERS AUDITED
### ✅ FULL COVERAGE
- **Asai** - Soul collection, spectral attacks, death magic → Shadow Arbiter Aspects
- **Penumbra** - Shadow invisibility, mobility, blade combat → Shadow Arbiter + Combat Aspects
### ⚠️ PARTIAL COVERAGE
- **Eyra** - Wind control works with pressure aspects, but buff/debuff mechanics need expansion
### 🔲 PENDING AUDIT
- Izar
- Juu
- [13 more characters from index]

## SOLUTIONS NEEDED
### Atmospheric World Aspects (Aerios?)
