The vibe or energy someone gives off, quantified in imaginary "aura points." Cool moments add aura ("hit a three with eyes closed — +1000 aura"), embarrassing ones cost it ("tripped on flat ground — −500"). A joking metric for real-time coolness that Gen Z treats half-seriously.
“"Tripping in front of your crush? That's a -500 aura moment minimum."”
Static description — someone's overall presence.
The joke meta of grading actions — usually with a + or - number in front.
