Psionics Psionics are individuals who possess the ability, through genetic mutation, to manipulate latent "dark energy" using their mind. All races (save the Pakan) are at least a little bit psionically latent. While the extent each race is psionically latent/active will be covered later in the guide its important to note that the psionic level of a race is for the race as a whole and not the level of an individual. Just because a race has low latency does not mean a powerful psionic can't be born to the race. The ability to use psionic energy comes from a mutation (in the case of pure humans, an adaptation in all other races) in the brain. A small node in the brain develops which allows access to the dark energy that fuels psionic powers. The ability for humans to have this node is a discovery made only in the last few decades. Humans were never really meant to have these node and it can cause some problems including but not limited to, stunted growth, birth defects, blindness later in life, heightened mental instability, imbalances in one's hormones, and other abnormalities. Its rare to find a human psionic without some sort of abnormality. Human psionics are called Espers. They are the only race that call their psionics such. Rankings and Classifications There are two separate rankings and eight different classifications for a psionic. The two rankings are the racial ranking and the individual one. The classifications are the eight general templates by which psionic power manifests. Each individual is unique but in general psionic powers fall under one of the eight classifications. Racial Rank There are four levels of racial ranking, Blue, Green, Red, and Black. These are the racial levels of latency at which what number of individuals out of a hundred express some level of psionic latency. There is no race that has a 100% psionic latency rate though the Kherodi come close, being the most psionic race. Blue: Representing the highest level of latency, nearly ninety out of every hundred individuals express some level of psionic latency. The races that rank as Blue Psionic races are the Kherodi, Kheroda, and Dmargo. Kherodi are the only race that have nearly a 100% latency rate making them the most powerful psionic race in the known universe with the their cousins, the Kheroda, a close second. Green: Representing the middle levels of latency, roughly fifty out of a hundred of all individuals of these races express some level of latency. However that doesn't mean that they are actively psionic. Unlike Psionically Blue races Psionically Green races (and psionically red ones) latency does not mean active. Out of those fifty roughly twenty are actually psionically active. Races that fall under this ranking are humans, Phedan, and the Maralyn. Humans are one of the most psionically positive races, having the greatest potential to be born latent, but expressing very little of that potential curiously. Red: Representing the lowest level of latency, roughly ten out of every hundred of all individuals of these races are latent. They have a low psionic positive and a low latency rating. These is especially true for the Tsudayins who are almost psionically blank and frown upon psionics. The other race that falls under this ranking is the Kuma who have a more positive view on psionics. Black: Representing a void the Pakan are the only race that has no latency or any potential to be psionically positivite. Instead they are immune to psionic energy and, indeed, are able to block it with their mere presence making them powerful psionic hunters. Individual Rankings There are six rankings, six levels, to psionic latency in an individual ranging from purely latent to active and incredibly strong. Zeta: The lowest level of activity, representing an individual who is psionically latent but unable to access their psionic powers. Epsilon: The next level of latency and the first level of activity. These are individuals who have access to psionic abilities but are ether non-adept at using them or are only able to access weak levels of psionic energy. Delta: The first level of true activity and true psionic strength. These are real psionics who are capable of accessing some level of the full bredth of the psionic power. Its at these level that clear divisions in psionic energy appear. These is the level at which one figures out their psionic classification. Gamma: The level at which a majority of psionics reside. Incredible well versed in psionic power these are true psionics who have access to an incredible range of their power. Most psionically active red and green races tend to plateau around this level. Beta: The penultimate rating for psionic strength Beta level Psionics are incredibly uncommon and possess incredible strength. Its not uncommon for individuals at these level to express more than one kind of psionic power. Its incredible rare for anything but blue rating races to reach this level but not impossible. Alpha: The pinnacle of psionic power these are individuals who possess insane levels of psionic energy and wield it with grace and finesse. They are incredibly rare, even in races with a high level of latency, and almost unheard of in those with moderate to low latency. Its almost borderline impossible for anything but the Kherodi to be born at this level of power but a psionic may develop this level of activity as they grow older. Individuals at this level more commonly express one to two extra psionic classifications. Classifications There are eight different kinds of psionic power. One general kind that every active psionic can use and seven that are more specialized. Only a brief description of each will be included here as the exact nature of a person's psionic power is different for every person. General Abilities: All psionics are capable of telekinesis, telepathy, and levitation to some extent. The exact degree in which they can varies between individuals. Pyrokinetics: Pyrokenetic psionics specialize in the generation and manipulation of thermal energy and fire. They can set things alight or even explode them with their mind. Biokinetics: Biokinetic psionics specialize in the manipulation of biological functions. Sometimes overlaps with psionics that can control electricity but general this specialization manifests as healing based or physical enhancement based psionic abilities. Astrokinetics: Astrokinetic psionics, sometimes called Mindflyers, are individuals who specialize in sending their mind out to interact with the world. They tend to have stronger than average general abilities as well as being adept at astral projection and possession. Psychokinetics: The most destructive based psionic classification these individuals are adept at generating raw dark energy in the form of electricity and other forms of direct energy. They tend to be the best kind of offensive psionic. They are the only kind of psionic who can shape their psionic energy into physical form. Kinetikinetics: Psionics who specialize in the manipulation of potential and kinetic energy. They tend to have better than normal telekinetic abilities as well as the ability to speed up or slow down objects (including themselves) with their mind. Empathics: Masters of empathic and telemetric abilities these kinds of psionics have more supplementary types of abilities as well as having the the strongest kinds of telepathy. They make for great tacticians and scouts. Other: Psionic abilities that don't fall under one of the above classifications fall here. Human Psionics Humans psionics are markedly different than psionics from any other race. For humans psionic ability is a recent development discovered only within the last fifty years. Humans have a lot still to discover about their budding psionic powers but there are a few key things known. First of all is that human psionics are the only psionics known to develop the Klein's Organ, a nodal in the brain located above the hypothalamus. It is theorized that the node has always existed in the human brain but in most humans is so small that its virtually undetectable. Leading Neural researcher Dr. Klein Io was the first to discover the organ when his son began experiencing incredibly painful migraines followed by flashes of color. A scan of his own brain revealed the presence of the node he originally thought to be a tumor until more and more people began showing the same symptoms. This, coupled with information provided by the Dmargo, lead to the beginnings of human psionics. While not the most psionically latent race humans are the second strongest psionics, overall, next to the Kheroda and Kherodi. However this strength comes at a price. Humans with developed Klein's Organs tend to manifest genetic defects and psychological abnormalities due to the growing mass in their brain. The psionic ranking system was originally developed as a measure of the risk of manifesting this abnormalities but ten years ago the ranking changed to a measure of actual psionic power. Children are typically screened at a young age to determine their psionic ranking and to help them develop as well as provide health care and facilities to help them deal with the abnormalities associated with extreme psionic power. Two years ago the UCF created the Novus Mens Mentis Academia, The Academy of New Minds, on Ambrosia to help train and develop young psionics. The term "Esper" was coined at the same time to help differentiate human psionics from those of other races. Terminology Psionic Latency: Psionic Latency refers to the chance of psionic powers manifesting in an individual. It is a percentile number covered in shorthand by the color coded racial rankings. Black = 0%, Red = 1-20%, Green = 21-70%, Blue = 71-99%. Its the term that deals specifically with an entire race's average amount of psionics at any given time. Psionically Latent: Individuals who possess dormant psionic powers that have a chance of awakening are called this. The Psionic Level that refers to this is "Zeta". Psionically Active: Individuals who have awakened and active psionic abilities are known as this. The levels above Zeta refer to this term. Psionic Level: This term refers to the total strength of an individual's psionic power. It is judged on a person by person basis. Psionic Rank: This term refers to the color assigned to specific races that refers to their total overall latency. It is an average and doesn't take into account specific individuals merely the average number that express some level of psionic ability. Psionic Positivity: Going hand in hand with psionic rank and latency this is the percentile rate at which a race is specifically shown to have individuals that exhibit the signs of psionic latency. It refers to a more specific percentile within the psionic rank. For example Humans, Phedan, and the Maralyn are all psionically green races but each have different psionic positivity rankings. This takes into account not only same ranking color races but all races and rates them. Psionic Classification: The eight general templates for which an individual's own personal psionic abilities tend to fall under. While someone can have many abilities they tend to stick to one of the eight classifications. |
