Paranormal: A Mind-Bending Story
The Story
Psionics...The ability to influence the world around you with only the power of your mind. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's very potent stuff, from reading minds to moving objects. However, it's pretty scary. Those with power will often torment those without. However, when the shoe is on the other foot, things reverse. When the powerless outnumber the powerful, the powerful becomes the powerless.
The time is modern day. Psionics are a well-kept government secret, a recent mutation in humankind...In this generation. The few that have been born with psionic powers are realizing their potential, and as such, are discriminated against. Thusly, they must keep their powers secret, or go into hiding...
The US government has created a branch, the P.R.R.B (Psionic Research and Response Bureau), to learn about and deal with the newly found psychics. Their agents infiltrate society and probe around for the anomalies. Only the highest powers in the federal government, and members of the branch itself, know of the psychics' existence.
Even beyond the threat of discrimination and capture, more darkness lurks, lying in wait for our young, gifted boys and girls. Monstrous, mysterious figures threaten human society without them even knowing it. Soon, the world will fall upon its knees and depend on The Gifted.
So, will you use your gifts to help humanity and win their acceptance? Or will you use it to lash out against those who hated and feared you? The choice is yours.So, where do you fit in all of this? Well, you're a gifted high school student at Thistlehood Creek High, Anytown, USA. Do you already know of your powers? Or are they lying in wait, ready to reveal themselves to you when you are prepared? Well, that's up to you. Before we embark on this roleplaying adventure, let's take a look at some powers, shall we?
Telepathy : The ability to read minds at its most basic. Early on, without training, the telepath will be bombarded constantly by the thoughts of those around him. Later on, though, a seasoned telepath can turn his power on and off, as well as focus it onto a single person.
Telepathy can also be used for mental attacks, eg. Mind Control. Another way of using telepathy is creating illusions that only the target can see, whether they be ghosts from their past, or creations from the telepath's mind.
Far Sight : The ability to see beyond one's self. Allows you to view distant locations with no vantage point (EG, inside the warehouse down the road while you're laying down in bed).
Hyperregeneration : The ability to quickly cause cell reproduction, allowing you to heal yourself and others.
Telekinesis : The powerful ability to project pure force or move objects with one's mind. A telekinetic, with training, can also levitate him or herself.
Pyrokinesis : The ability to excite molecules, causing them to combust and explode. Creates fires, explosions, extra.
Cyrokinesis : The ability to decelerate molecules, causing them to freeze and solidify. Your ice tree.
Hydrokinesis : The ability to control water.
