Psychokinetic

Pychokinetic

The Psychokinetic is a person that can move the things around them without need of hands or outside help, using only their mind. This take intense mental focus and as such very few are born with the ability to do such things and learning it is something that is rarely even tried on more than ninety percent of the population of virtually any race. (Save for the Comminians and the Psymithians who seem to have an affinity for it.)

The Psychokinetic can not only move things with their mind, but also use their abilities to “feel” the world around them. This is hard to explain, but it allows them to find things very easily and it makes it so that they are almost impossible to sneak up on. (Stealth attacks and dark spheres do not work on these characters.) Due to this they make great bounty hunters in that they can track a person, creature, etc. over vast distances using only their senses. This was described as similar to reading braille. Every person has a distinct way of walking, weight, gape, etc. and thus, once the Psychokinetic learns the person’s signature, they can then follow it with ease. (Do not try to hide from anyone of this training.)

Most Psychokinetics fizzle out within the first twenty years of life due to the extreme strain that the training of their mind causes. Some go mad, some become catatonic and others kill themselves. It is a very hard ability to learn and can only be taught to those that are born with it. Someone without the “Natural Talent” would simply not be able to accomplish more than the first level of training, if that, and then be removed from training due to poor performance. (This is the case with many would be Psychokinetics.)

Be aware, though, that those that have had more than the first level of training are extremely dangerous. A Master Psychokinetic can avoid attacks because they can “feel the air” as the attack is coming and avoid them with ease. Since stealth attacks are nearly impossible, the Psychokinetic is extremely hard to hit. They can also use their concentration to form a shield around them with their will. If done, all attacks on the shield will bet halved and the shield will take whatever damage was thrown at the Psychokinetic. This makes them virtually impossible to hit with physical attacks.

Though they rarely use weapons, they are known to keep thrown objects at hand, many using rocks or stones of some sort to throw at the enemies and then speeding the trajectory of the attack with their mind to deal great amounts of damage. With a Psychokinetic, any form of projectile becomes a lethal weapon. Never throw anything at them for fear it may well come back on you, ten fold. They can even use their abilities to stop magic attacks that are projectiles. 

Psychokinetics can lift things with their mind that is much heavier than what they could naturally lift. This allows a Psychokinetic to lift up to 6 times their body weight when they get to the higher tiers of their learning. A Master can life much more using just their mind. Due to the fact that they are not tethered to someone or something else, the Psychokinetic can actually lift nearly as much as they truly believe that they can lift. If that be 100 lbs. or 100 tons. is literally up to them, once they have learned how to do it. Using this same concept, a Psychokinetic can raise their own attack level much higher than what they should be able to simply by using the same techniques. However, this will cause a great draw of their Will and could potentially kill them.

Due to their intense training, illusions no longer work directly on the Psychokinetic, though illusions that are not thrown directly at him/her can slip through and be unknown. Such as a small city once held three Psychokinetics but after the Lusea died that had projected the city, they all found that the entire city was actually an illusion. Because the illusion was not thrown directly at them as an attack, they saw it as no threat and thus did not “see” through it.

Note: Due to their intense training, they do not often use weapons and stick manly to common weapons if at all. However, there have been those that have become very proficient with weapons as well. One of the most powerful of all the Psychokinetics of the probe was Hodon Guthog and he was a master Swordsman as well as a Psychokinetic. It was said that he could use a regular sword made of Obarsian steel against Melaney metal and hold his own. (Obarsian steel is a common steel that is used in construction due to its malleable nature and its great resistance to cold. This steel was never meant for fighting due to its heft, but some weapons were made out of it for those that could wield much heavier weapons.)

Note 2: Psychokinetics hate Telekinetics due to their ability to move through the ranks so fast and will often attack them on site. They are taught to see them as abominations and evil for “selling their souls”, even though many have not. A team with both these types of characters will never work. (No matter who they are, they would be pulling and pushing one another constantly and would have to have a show down at one point or another.)
