The Powers

Watchers
Watchers have the ability to foresee the future to various degrees, often basing their visions on the knowledge of the intentions of others. As knowledge of the future invariably causes that future to change, Watchers' visions of the future in their direct sphere of influence is subject to frequent shifting.


Movers
Movers manipulate inanimate objects at varying distances. The actual technique is known as kinetic signature control, where the Mover is trained to hear and identify the specific atomic frequency of any given material and alter the gravity wave around it, usually producing the nearby air to appear warped. Advanced Movers can work at the molecular level creating protective shields in the air around them.


Pushers
Pushers have the ability to implant memories, thoughts and emotions into the minds of other people. With this power, they are able to make other people do whatever the Pusher wants them to do, as if it's the person's own agenda. It's been called a complete hypnosis by scientists, except that the victim of the Pusher is completely awake and conscious. The skill level of the Pusher determines how many people the Pusher is able to push at the same time, and how clear the memories are that are implanted. A powerful Pusher is able to push a large group of people at the same time, basically creating a personal army. A Pusher is able to make a person do anything that the Pusher desires, and there are no limits. This even includes suicide.


Bleeders
Bleeders have the ability to emit high-pitched sonic vibrations that cause ruptures in a target's blood vessels. While using this ability, their eyes form into slits because of synthetic materials that have been implanted in them in order to protect their eyes from their own ability. Other known names are Screechers or Screamers.


Sniffs
Sniffs are highly developed psychometric who can track the location of either people or objects over varying distances. Like psychic bloodhounds, their tracking ability is increased if they have tactile access to an object that has been in direct contact with the subject. Sniffs receive information based on images, not specific addresses, which is why identifiable landmarks help increase their effectiveness.


Readers
Readers are similar to Sniffs, except they use physical contact of an object to view its history.


Shifters
Shifters can temporarily shift patterns of light on any object to create illusions to the naked eye. They work mostly on a touch basis, but once the illusion is established, it remains with the object for short periods of time. For example, a Shifter could momentarily touch a one dollar bill, altering its light pattern to appear as a one hundred dollar bill for hours until the effect expires. In order to shift something, the object to be shifted must have roughly the same dimensions as what it will be shifted into. The length of the shift is based on experience and ability.


Wipers
Wipers are skilled at either temporary or permanent memory erasure, an invaluable asset in espionage. Experience will dictate the accuracy of their wipes, though the danger is always present that they will eliminate a desired memory.


Shadows
Shadows are trained to block the vision of other clairvoyants such as Sniffs, making any subject within their target radius appear "dark". Experience will enhance the size of the area they can shadow and the intensity of their shielding effect. Shadows need to be awake to perform their ability, and it is common for a detail of two Shadows to operate in shifts while protecting a person or object for extended periods. Most Shadows are effective only against Sniffs, but some extremely powerful Shadows are able to block even Watchers.


Stitches
Stitches are psychic surgeons trained to quickly reconstruct cells to their previous or healthy state. Using only their hands, they can heal and even "unheal" whatever they have done. For more detailed work, Stitches use a silver based cream on their hands which acts as a conductor to their ability.
