Magic Plant regeneration. He is able to will plants to grow using his body as a medium. This can range from sprouting flowers on his arms to temporarily grafting himself into a tree. The process will cause a good degree of pain and drain his vitality, but his willpower is strong enough to resist being incapacitated during the process. It also helps to dampen his Aragami instinct for a short while, making it easier for him to keep in control of himself.
❧ Canon Abilities Let me preface this with an apology because boy does God Eater love to try explaining anime protagonist powers with science. Not all of it has been fully explained in the game so this is written with the information that is available now.
➛ Mundane As someone who has served in his world's equivalent of a military since age 13, he is someone very proficient in combat, tactics and other related skills. Other abilities picked up in service include skill with technology, first aid, wilderness survival, and other things that would be expected for a Captain of his status to know. He's handy with 2070s era technology but not exceptionally so, since he doesn't have an engineer specialty.
He is also noted to have superhuman willpower, which is the key to him being able to remain himself even when subsumed by the Singularity core. It was enough for him to endure corrosion for six months without a single moment of respite in the spirit realm, which is... pretty amazing, really.
➛ Physiology-based At his current canon point, Julius is no longer human but a type of creature called Aragami. Essentially he's a mass of single-celled organisms called Oracle Cells controlled by a central core. The cells grant him physical strength and endurance higher than that of humans, as well as a keen awareness of the state of his own body, down to (unsurprisingly) the cellular level. He is able to take a humanoid appearance due to commanding the cells to assume such a form, and can pass for his previous human state given the strength of his willpower.
This also gives him the ability to change his shape by reorganizing his cellular structure. He's produced tentacles feathered tree branches from his back before, as well as generated a cocoon around himself. Given how diverse other Aragami are, he can also modify his body to take on other traits such as wings, vines, and extra limbs. By accessing the 'genetic memory' of other Aragami types, he can replicate their abilities if he so wishes.
The thing with Aragami is that they have an inborn desire to consume and absorb everything around them that isn't one of their own number. Julius has it particularly bad as his body holds a core with the strongest devouring instinct in his world - the Singularity. It's only through sheer willpower (and a helpful slap from his friends) that he's able to subdue it and stay in control of himself. If he were to use any of the Aragami forms, it would also mean subsuming some of their destructive instinct. The more he draws on this power, the higher his risk of going berserk. This also puts a cap on the amount of pain and other physical stresses that he can endure in practice. While CRAU development has enabled him to use a basal level of these shifting abilities without debilitating pain, accessing any powerful skills will still come with severe consequences.
In canon he has been overtaken by the Singularity instinct before, which resulted in the initiation of the Devouring Apocalypse, an event in which the entire Earth is consumed by a tidal wave of Oracle Cells. Triggering it is a two-part process, and Julius is one part of the key. However, since the other part involves a shitton of other Oracle Cells, it won't be unleashed in the game setting.
➛ Unique Julius' Aragami form is named The One Who Opens The World. What separates it from the other Aragami in the series is its Singularity status, which is a core that is able to consume the entire world. It has very high combat ability as well as the capability to summon lasers/damaging projectiles, and serves as the final boss of his game. However, this is a high-risk form and assuming it fully takes a heavy toll on his body, so he chooses to avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
Another ability that Julius has is his Power of Blood, named Control. With it he can 'wirelessly' activate/instruct other Oracle Cells. Aragami communicate with each other using pulses in a Bias Field, and it's hinted to be the force that allows an Aragami to hold itself together, since they constantly emit it. They're kind of like electromagnetic waves, except on a different type of field. They are detectable by sensors and serve as the predominant way that the Operators track Aragami and God Eaters. When two Bias Fields interact, a phenomenon called resonance happens. As it's only invoked in story-relevant scenes, it's not that important here.
For Control, it involves him strengthening his own field to affect those around him. With a suitable interfacer, he's able to control technology. At some point in his canon he commanded an entire robot army so That Is A Thing. This is an ability not affected by his Singularity status, so he can use it safely. It only affects Aragami and God Eaters; so it's not very useful by itself. However, particularly intense pulses can be felt by ordinary humans, such as those emitted by the Singularity, or when Julius taps into its powers.
Having a Power of Blood also grants the use of a Blood Art, which is kind of like a person's 'special move' for battle. It has not been explained in the game, so all we know about it is that it can be used with any object that matches the shape of the weapon the Blood Art is primed for. For Julius, his is Divine Galestrike, which lets him produce blades of air behind him to supplement a charge attack. Using it will also result in a Bias Field surge.
