Psyker

A Psyker (or Psychic) using his telekinetic abilities to mentally manipulate the surrounding rubble.

**Psykers** or **Psychics** are individuals or entities with the capacity to use telekinetic or telepathic abilities. Psykers are not considered a category of Super like Mages or Aura Manipulators, as they rely on a connection to the Void and do not rely on either a separate energy source our their own stamina, however they can be considered a subclass of regular Supers as they are numerous in number.

## Powers and Abilities

Psykers have access to one or more telekinetic or telepathic abilities. Activation of their abilities is usually signified by the emission of a (usually) purple-colored aura from their body.

**Telekinesis (TK):** The ability to control matter with the mind. The power of this ability varies, as it can be anywhere from lifting small objects such as stones or cans to lifting several massive chunks of rubble or vehicles that weigh several tons. Other psychic abilities that can affect the physical realm are classified under TK.

**Levitation:** The ability for an individual to lift their own body several feet off of the ground and float freely throughout the air through the use of TK.

**Telepathy:** The ability to either mentally transmit or receive messages. Users of telepathy can project their mental presence over long distances and even selectively contact those within their range.

**Clairvoyance:** The ability to see that which is "unseen" to most others. Users of clairvoyance can see events that are distant in time and space.

* **Precognition:** The psychic ability to see events that take place in the future. This can either be the near or distant future, and the time frame in which the clairvoyant can view events is completely dependent on their latent psychic power and mastery in this ability.
* **Retrocognition:** The psychic ability to see events that have taken place in the past. As with Precognition, those who are able to use Retrocognition must train in order to expand the time frame in which they can view the past, and are ultimately limited by their latent psychic power.
* **Remote Viewing:** The ability to view events happening outside of the field of normal vision (i.e. eyesight). The user can perceive one or multiple targets and track their actions.

**Psychometry:** The ability to receive information regarding the history of an object, even if it is completely unknown.

**Thoughtography:** The ability to burn a mental image onto a surface through psychic means.

**Mindreading:** The ability to directly read one's thoughts, with or without their consent. Psykers skilled in this ability can employ it combat, reading their opponent's mind to predict their next move and either prepare for it or avoid it.

**Mind Control:** The psychic ability to alter one's thoughts and mental state. This can vary from very subtle changes in perception to extreme changes, and can cause subjects to become slaves to the will of the Psyker.

**Astral Projection:** The ability to separate one's soul from their physical being, allowing them to enter what is known as the "Astral Plane". This allows them to view things normally deemed unseen, and can even allow for one's soul to enter another's body, or an artificial body (as with A.I.s who can upload themselves to multiple robotic bodies).
