Psionics

Psionics (in slang known as ‘Senses’) are the additional abilities certain races possess that deal with powers originating in the mind.  Some Psionics are not possible for certain races, such as telepathy is not found in Solarians.  In general they range from a sort of precognition of events to things such as sensing objects around the target, or knowing when they are about to be attacked.  AGEd brings out Psionics much more readily as it appears to be part of our genetic code.  At this time the specific part is not identified, other than the increased prevalence population wide suggests it was a bonus effect of the AGEing process.

Aelisha tend to have stronger Psionics than Solarians.  Many elite soldiers and every Star Priestess has one or more Psionics to strong degrees.

Awakening – Rarely, some people often when exposed to life or death situations will ‘awaken’ to latent Psionic powers.  This often happens in war zones and sole-survivor type situations.  It is estimated that approximately that 1 in 100 people have latent Psionics of one or more types that have yet to be naturally manifest and have to be forced out of them.

Psionics can be broken down into different branches, depending on what criteria their ability falls under. 

Generally the major branches are divided in ‘Combat’, ‘Empathy’, ‘Chrono’ and more.  Here are a few examples so far of the psionics.

Combat Psionics

 1 Gravitational Lattice Recognition This was the detection of objects, mostly other people, around the subject without conventional perceptions of being able to detect them.  As a simple example, it might manifest in low levels as the ability to know that someone or something had suddenly entered the room despite the lack of any type of sound or vibration.  This is categorized in the Combat Psionic branch due to its use in various combat situations ranging from infiltration to guard duties. 

Chrono Psionics

1 Chrono-Tunnel Preordination: The ability to see down current time path and predict future events, this is looking down the single tunnel of time

2 Choas-Stabilizing Precognition : The ability to see how ones multitude of choices faced presently will lead to different paths in the future.  This is perceiving how many fate lines are present, or how many escapes off current Fate line.

3 Directional Preservation Prediction”, keeps your alive against nature/fate, like bouncing around in the dark room, finding escapes out or rather a situation will be safe.
