aura
measured, social, gamified
the one-line answer
Your perceived social presence, coolness, or gravity. Measured in points.
Aura is your general social energy. People feel it from you without you doing anything specific. It is broader than rizz (which is about flirting) and more passive. You can gain or lose aura. Wearing socks with sandals loses you aura. Handling an embarrassing situation gracefully gains you aura. Gen Alpha turned this into a literal point system.
