Explanation of Psyche

[[NOTE: I got some serious help from Nocturnalbirdie "Birdie" and X-Men comics for these explanations...though I did some editing to most of them >___> ]]

Explanation of Psyche (Psychic abilities):
-Humans learned to use more percentage of their brain unlocking more than one could imagine…

*Types of Powers (and explanations):
-Basic powers that all those with psychic abilities have (at least to some extent… even if just a little bit..This is due just because humans can use more of their brain now): telekinesis (the ability to move things with one’s mind) and telepathy (the ability to read another’s mind.. unless of course the other person has a strong mental “wall” so to speak)

-The different types of psychic powers are typically passed on from generation to generation…

-Flying: A form of telekinesis. Their lungs can extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes, and they can cope with the reduced temperatures at high altitudes for prolonged periods of time.

-Control over the elements:

~FIRE: Those with this ability have the psychic ability to manipulate flame by shaping it as they desire, increasing or decreasing its heat, intensity, and size. They can psychically manipulate the flame to do whatever they desire, and sometimes induce it to take semi-solid form as an animate flame being (these creations, though capable of movement and of grasping or carrying solid objects, are not alive and do not think or act on their own). The degree of their concentration necessary to manipulate a flame being is directly proportional to the being's size, power, and flame. Those with intense psychic abilities can create their own fire by increasing the temperature around them until it reaches the rate of combustion.

~ICE: Those with this power possess the power to radically decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in their immediate environment, thereby freezing it into ice. In this manner they are able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles, shields, ladders, baseball bats, etc. They have the ability to make ice slides which form rapidly beneath and behind their feet, pushing them along the slick surface at high speeds. Originally, their own body temperature would lower dramatically when their powers were active, reaching −105 °F (−76.1 °C) within a few tenths of a second (Optionally, their body could convert to organic ice).They are immune to sub-zero temperatures; They are also able to perceive the thermal energy level of objects around him. Because cold is the absence of heat, they do not actually 'emanate' cold; rather, they decrease thermal energy. They are also able to reconstitute their organic ice form if any part of it is damaged, or even if it is completely shattered, without permanently harming themselves. They can temporarily add the mass of a body of water to their own, increasing their mass, size, and strength. They can survive not only as ice, but as liquid water and water vapor. They can also transform their body from a gaseous state back to a solid, although it is physically and mentally taxing. They can also freeze sea water.

~Water: Those with this power have the psychic ability to manipulate water (fresh or sea) by shaping it as they desire. They can also take a small amount of water and increase its size. They also can psychically manipulate the water to do whatever they desire, and sometimes induce it to take semi-sold form as an animate water being (similar to the fire beings created by those with fire abilities). Unlike the fire people, they can NOT create water… Thus, they have to be around any source of water to use their powers.

~AIR (the weather): Those with this ability are extremely powerful and have demonstrated a plethora of abilities, most of which are facets of their power to control the weather. They possibly possess the psychic ability to control all forms of weather over vast areas. They can possibly control the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture, generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and have possibly demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. They can possibly incite forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and are capable of summoning a hurricane, as well as mist. They can dissipate such weather to form clear skies as well. Their precise control over the atmosphere allows them to create special weather effects. They can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, absorb ambient electromagnetism and output it as electric blasts from their body, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and summon wind currents strong enough to support their weight to elevate herself to fly at high altitudes and speeds. An especially advanced psychic with this ability can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. They may also be able to control the pressure inside the human inner ear, using this ability to cause intense pain. They can also bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to become partially transparent to almost completely invisible. They have demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing them to breathe underwater (Water psychics can do this as well…). They have shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, and their psychic powers over weather are affected by their emotions. One consequence of this connection to nature is that they often suppress extreme feelings to prevent their emotional state from resulting in violent weather. Their abilities are limited by their willpower and the strength of their body.

~EARTH: These "terrakinetics", have the ability to psychokinetically manipulate, control, levitate and reshape the classic element of earth; sand, stone, rock, lava, and/or dirt and could even transform the consistency of earth and rock, such as turning a lump of coal into a diamond. They also could use this power to cause minor earthquakes and create shapes out of solid rock.

-Teleportation: Those with this ability can transport themselves, their clothes, and some additional mass almost instantaneously. They do this by means of displacing themselves through an alternate dimension briefly and reappearing in a desired location. They have been shown to be able to teleport distances of up to two miles (3 km) under optimal conditions, although it is at their extreme limit, and they can become severely fatigued if he tries to teleport that distance. There are rare instances when extra powerful psychics have been able to transport themselves to even farther distances. They possess a limited unconscious extrasensory "spatial awareness" ability which prevents them from teleporting into solid objects within their immediate vicinity, but this ability diminishes the farther the distance they teleports. Because teleporting into other solid matter would cause severe injury or death, they will only teleport to an area he is familiar with or that they can clearly see at the time or has seen in the past. Their power automatically displaces liquids and gases when they "arrive". The process of teleportation places a strain on their endurance and that of any passengers; carrying mass other than their body and clothing when teleporting adds additional strain through their body. Through practice they have been able to teleport a passenger over a lengthy distance with themselves without exhausting themselves, but the strain on their body grows as the amount of mass they transports and the distance over which they teleport it increase. Extensive training can raise their tolerance for teleportation, but most of their passengers lack this tolerance. Therefore, one of their tactics is to grab opponents and make several quick teleportations with them. They usually are weakened or even pass out from the strain.

-Shape-shifting: Can shift into any person (and change their voice as well) or animal [actually there is a limit to what they can shift into though this depends on the person and family genes].

-Ability to posses people: They have the ability to take possession of the minds of other people or animals. They project a psionic energy surge that overwhelms the consciousness of another; this renders the victim unconscious, while placing their own mind in command. It allows them to alter the victim's perceptions and memories, command entranced opponents to divulge information, and/or operate their bodies as if they were an extension of their [the possessors’] own. When they first take possession of someone, they can only move their subject's body awkwardly until they acclimate themselves to their new host. If they remains in possession of a host for too long they will begin to think and act as their host would, and eventually their own personality would become subordinate to one identical to the host's. Although they can possess multiple subjects simultaneously, their control over their subjects is fragmented as they shift their attention from one to another.

-Ability to “leave” one’s own body in a “spirit” form: This is a form of teleportation (sort of a teleportation of the “spirit/soul”). Thus, it is often used for things such as scouting and sending messages…

-Ability to raise the dead (in a way): This is a combination of telekinesis and the ability to posses others. They use Use psionic energy to reactivate the brain enough that they can possess it. This does not stop the rotting process and the host’s “soul and mind” do not return from the dead.

-Discharge of Psyche (Energy, etc…): The use of telekinesis to manipulate limited amounts of energy. Thus, the existing energy around the psychic is manipulated into “bullets” of heat, electricity, force, light, or all of the above….

-Creation of illusions: Their talent allows them to manifest people's emotions as realistic illusions. It began as manifesting people's worst fears, many times in an uncontrollable fashion, against the will of both involved. Soon they gained the ability to control this and to manifest a person's "deepest desire." They can even create illusions by channeling residual thought and emotional impressions in an area. They also have the ability to make the telepathic images manifest as psionic energy, becoming tangible entities of solid psionic force. This ability was limited in that they could only sustain one illusion at a time.

-Healing abilities: Is literally in the blood of those who have this ability…They can heal themselves or others if they mix their blood with those with ability (and provided they have the matching blood type). There is a limit though which depends on the person…They can NOT raise the dead…

-Energy Manipulation: Those with this ability’s primary ability are the manipulation of potential or kinetic energy. This is manifest both internally and externally, energy charges their body giving them greater strength, stamina, and agility than any non-powered human, as well as being able to charge matter resulting in the violent and disproportionately powerful explosion of said matter through touch. The objects that they charge explode with a force somewhat proportional to the size of the object, though a playing card is as powerful as a hand grenade in their hands. They have the ability to charge living as well as non living matter….

-Force fields: They can generate a force field, described as a "psioplasmic bio-field" around their body which provides resistance to energy and physical attacks, and can shape or expand it to protect those nearby; however, impacts on the force field cause them pain. They also have shown the ability to wield their force field as a blunt force, pushing others out of her way.

-Durability: They are able to create a psionic body armor that grants durability and also gives superhuman strength (only to a certain degree).
