There are three different kinds of Psi. Burst, Trance, and Rise. Each of them has it's own purpose, on top of this mixing Psi creates different kinds of Psi. All information here, as well as the information on Reducing Psi Stress and Tavoo have been directly (or selectively) copy pasted from http://psyren.wikia.com/wiki/Psyren_Wiki
Burst: Burst, in summation, is the ability to manipulate the world around you. In essence, you channel and manipulate energy or matter in the surrounding environment. Burst has a number of forms it takes, ranging from the ability to move objects with only your mind, the power to command fire or lightning, or even the ability to manifest solid objects. Powerful Burst users are capable of unleashing absolute devastation, destroying or altering the world around them to their will. As if to counteract this, Burst puts a tremendous strain on the user, proportional to the power of their ability. In addition, breaking or even damaging the Burst can lead to a breakdown of the mind or body.
Rise: Rise is used to manipulate the user. Rise powers can be subdivided into three types: "sense", "strength," and "healing".
- Sense-type Rise increases the 5 senses of the user (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) to extraordinary levels and also increases the user's reflexes.
- Strength-type Rise focuses on the user's physical body, increasing the body's physical strength, speed, and endurance. It can simply be referred to as Super Human Strength.
- Healing-type Rise ties into Strength-type but focuses more towards the body's endurance. When trained properly, the user can reduce the amount of damage being taken and how long it will take for their body to recover from damage such as a large cut or bruise.
Trance: Trance, at its most basic, is the ability to manipulate the minds of others. So far, it has been used to read minds, "dive" into memories, and force the target to see illusions. However, the possibilities for Trance go far beyond just what has been displayed so far; for instance, it is theoretically possible to completely control a target. However, there are less dangerous uses of Trance, such as being able to locate the enhanced minds of others using PSI or communicating between two PSI users however unlike Burst waves, Trance thought waves are directly affected by the outside atmosphere and can be blocked by any defense in battles.
NOTE: Trance's effect on the mind will be determined by the two combatant's Trance skill. If the attacker has a higher Trance skill than the victim, the Trance's effect will be determined based upon the difference of skill. The smaller the difference, the less effect it will have. If the victim has a higher Trance than the attacker, the attack will have an even smaller effect.
Nova: Nova is a PSI limiter removal type of form where the user and their PSI energy merge. Since the users body is more energy than matter, they are known as an existence instead of a person. Those who learn to use Nova can excel their power levels to match the Illumnia Cores used by Star Commanders. The down side to this great power is it's terrible aftereffects. After one reaches their limit the power disappears almost as quickly as it came leaving the users completely drained and bleeding from the eyes and nose (most likely from the immense stress put on the brain). For people who are learning it, if they don't have full control over Nova than they become engulfed by it and cease to exist.
Nova is the last potential of PSI, as limitless as a human brain's and the universe itself. It is the combination of all aspects of Psi: Burst, Rise, and Trace. Nova energy can be transferred onto other people through touch, but the pain is excruciating because every cell in the area is affected.
Cure: Cure is a form of PSI made by using Burst and "self healing" type Rise together. It allows the user to share their own self-healing Rise with another person through a special type of Burst. Apparently, it is a rare form of PSI that few people grasp the concept of.
Vision: Visions is a form of PSI made by using the 'sense' type of Rise and Trance together. There are more than one type of "visions" type PSI.
- "Menace," it allows the possessor the ability to "see the 'threat of death'" in the midst of battle. Using this type of Psi will allow a person to have a split second chance to dodge an attack.
Note: The other Vision type will NOT be used in this RP.
Now then. To avoid problems, Cure and Visions (because they are more advanced forms of Psi) will NOT be up for use for anyone right off the bat. On top of that Nova will remain untouched as well. Nobody will autostart with Nova (not even staff) When Nova is available for the general public, I will make an announcement about it.
