*** Blanks not only [[AntiMagic nullify psychic powers]] on themselves, but often in a small area around them. Psychics in the area can normally find people by seeking out their psychic signatures. The dead-zone created by a blank is even more of a sign that something odd is there.
*** As emotions are a form of psychic power, blanks have muted emotions and drain the emotions from those around them.

*** Blanks not only [[AntiMagic nullify psychic powers]] on themselves, but often they project a nullifying field on everything in a small area around them. Psychics in the area Psychics can normally find people by seeking out their psychic signatures. The signatures in an area. While they can't use this to locate a blank directly, the mobile psychic dead-zone created by a blank blank's personal field is even more of a an obvious sign that something odd is there.
*** As emotions are a form of psychic power, blanks tend to have muted emotions. Their personal fields extend this effect to people around them, dulling their emotions and drain the emotions from those around them.whenever they get too close.



*** Blanks inspire instinctive revulsion in almost all sentient beings. Because the soul itself resides in the Warp, being in the presence of one is disturbing because you can subconsciously sense your very soul being suppressed. In weaker blanks, this manifests as a mild sense of discomfort that can be interpreted as a something mundane like a foul body odor or unpleasant facial features that can be ignored. For the strongest blanks, known as Pariahs, the effect creates crippling terror or homicidal rage that makes being near them for any length of time intolerable to all but the strongest willed beings. To a psyker, being anywhere a blank's power is agonizing, potentially life-threatening agony. Needless to say, blanks tend not to lead long lives unless they get trained to control their "gift".

In the case a Pariah, all but the strongest pyskers might drop dead by getting anywhere near them. For these reasons, blanks are near-universally despised wherever they go and tend not to lead long short lives unless they get trained training and implants to control their "gift".

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In the episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E6EscapeClause Escape Clause]]", a man makes a DealWithTheDevil to gain immortality, which is effectively immunity to death. He claims to have murdered his wife so that he can experience the electric chair, but his lawyer manages to get him life in prison. [[KarmicTwistEnding Since he can't die, he's going to be there a long time]]... at least until [[spoiler:the devil shows up and mercifully gives him a fatal heart attack]].

** Audrey, on the other hand, is [[AntiMagic immune to all the Troubles]]. This is mostly a positive, since it means she's able to tell when [[RippleEffectProofMemory something has gone wrong]] and keeps her from being affected by Troubles that change people's behavior It's a drawback, however, when the Troubled person is a RealityWarper. Being immune to the Troubles, she can't see what everyone else is seeing, and it makes it more difficult to help.

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': The Illagers' [[BeastOfBattle Ravagers]] take [[ImmuneToFlinching 75% less Knockback from attacks]]. This backfires against the Villagers' Iron Golems, whose attacks cause a knockback that launches targets into the air and away from them, usually requiring the Golem to get back into range for the next attack. Due to the Ravager's knockback resistance, it gets knocked back a lot less further, allowing the Iron Golem to attack and kill them faster.
