Telekinetic

Exactly as the name implies, Telekinetics are people with the power to move objects with their mind. Telekinetic combatants are able to lash out with pure force, create wells of extreme gravity with their mind, or even vibrate the very particles of air around them to conjure fire.
Stories of people capable of moving objects with their minds have circled the globe for ages. Originally thought the product of witchcraft or demons, the ability continued unabated through the Enlightenment, outliving the dated characterizations and demanding a different explanation. Secret weapons projects in the USSR during the Cold War came closest to creating stable Telekinetics, but the most powerful and precise of the gifted still arise naturally, at random, and for reasons still not understood.
== Mechanic: Resonance ==
As the Telekinetic creates more and more force, they begin to resonate with the mysterious source of their power, becoming far stronger but threatening to tear themselves apart in the process. Various abilities raise the Telekinetic’s Resonance level, up to a maximum of 3. Resonance impacts various abilities and can be spent for additional effects, but carries a cost.
At the end of each Round, the Telekinetic takes physical damage based on their Resonance level.
