Severance/Previous Incarnation

"Like a vampire, he just absorbs whatever he can get his hands on. He's obsessed. Don't let him near any energy supplies, or we might all be toast." - Reynar about speaking about DestaSeverance also referred to as The Gluttony, is one of the Ten Continuance. Severance is considered to be one of the most versatile but least understood of the Ten.
Severance, like the other Continuance, is a unique ability that is passed from lifeform to lifeform either directly or indirectly. Like the others, the holder of Severance is able to tap into surface level neural energy manipulation, granting them a unique ability so powerful that some would come to view it as being "like magic".
Severance is often associated with the aspects of darkness, greed and energy.
== Abilities ==
=== Energy Absorption (Awakened/Active Stage) ===
Beginning at the awakened and active stages, the holder is able to absorb all forms of energy into their body. Anything from radiation to electricity can be freely absorbed. The holder is not harmed by this energy, no matter how lethal it might prove to others. The holder can only absorb one energy type at a time however, and too much energy at once may overwhelm the holder. 
=== Energy Stockpiling (Awakened/Active Stage) ===
Also beginning at the awakened and active stages, the holder is able to take the absorbed energy and stockpile it within their body. All energy types are converted to neural energy upon entering the holder's body. The stockpiled energy can then be used to augment the holder's physical abilities. The more stockpiled energy, the faster and stronger the holder will become. The holder can release stockpiled energy to further augment their abilities. 
=== Trait Absorption (Evolved Stage) ===
Beginning at the evolved stage, the holder gains the ability to absorb abilities and traits from others. This can be virtually any power or ability that the target holds. The holder must make physical contact with the target as if they were absorbing energy. The holder can only absorb one ability at a time and will be temporarily fatigued after absorbing as the holder's body becomes accustomed to the new absorbed trait. The holder can return absorbed abilities at any time, again requiring physical contact.
This ability can also be used to absorb the other Continuance (excluding Convergence). 
=== Neural Energy Field (Mastered Stage) ===
Beginning at the mastered stage, the holder gains the ability to project a semi-visible field of neural energy through their hands. The field, roughly 10ft on all sides, can be used to block virtually anything. From energy, to weapon fire, to physical attacks. The holder is able to project one field out of each hand, or connect their two fields together, forming a much larger 25ft field. This field can block the effects of the other Continuance (excluding Convergence).
