Setting:

It’s the year 2065, Political landscapes have shifted, New Countries have formed, Old ones changed in culture, boundaries, economic status, some even their government system itself rebooted. New Technology has been discovered both for noble uses, and more evil uses. Genetic code for both humans and other lifeforms is being explored with an almost perfect understanding of the human genome, genetic engineering is now quite possible.(For a hefty price) Cybernetics, Nano-machines, Quantum Computers, amongst various technology is now available. There are even colonies on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Mining facilities in the Asteroid belt and Some Moons of the gas giants in the solar system. Not all is flowers and candy, crime still is rampant in certain cities, corruption in government and business is ever present, and the wave of new technology and science along with benefits brings challenges to society. One of the most unique discoveries and applications of science has been something that is called either the magnum opus of human achievement or the source of humanities greatest complication, this new phenomenon is a accumulation of various fields and studies of Science and technology, such as Quantum Physics, Bio Chemistry, Information Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Nuclear Science, amongst others. This new phenomenon is the development of Psychic powers of human individuals.

Now for an explanation of the various technologies and their status and impact on the world one at a time. The final one getting a particularly detailed report, as much of the story, world events, and player creation revolves around this new achievement of the human race.

Genetic Engineering and Cloning:

As stated above, Understanding of DNA in both humans and other lifeforms is a very fruitful field and while Genetics and Biology itself still holds many secrets there is an almost perfect understanding of the genetic code of humans in particular. Children before their born can have many of their traits determined towards birth, assuming you can afford it. What genetic modifications can be applied and their availability in both legal status and cost varies from country to country and from legal district to legal district. Some modifications in some cities are standard issue, such as all children having hereditary diseases eliminated. Others like eye color, athletic skill, and mental aptitudes cost money, some countries make illegal many genetic modifications to pre-born children, particularly in regards to personality and temperament. In some countries only the rich and elite can afford such perks and there is a political issue of the rich and well done children being at a genetic advantage to lower income families offspring. There is also the issue of what line if any is too be drawn in determining an individual’s identity and whether it interferes with their freewill or rights, that is too say, whether changing their genes is in some way controlling their destiny. Some argue this will lead to a society where people are “pre-made” for their place in life, like an ant colony rather than allowing people to choose their own path in life. The debate rages on. Genetic modifications after a person is born, is generally more restrictive and is used for more medical and health procedures and emergence purposes rather than for recreation. Still in some countries and black markets there are genetic modifications used for more “frivolous” purposes. For certain Military and Professions, minor genetic modifications is often considered legal.(Such as faster reaction time for aerial pilots.) The Status and debate on what impact Genetic modification should have is still ongoing and in different countries and districts has different levels of legality.



Cloning is a related issue. In most countries clones are either illegal or at least demanded by made in controlled numbers. They rarely have the same rights as normal people, though some restrictions are usually in place to make sure they aren’t abused. However Clones are often used in trafficking, and in having cheap workers in often degrading conditions and is quickly growing to be one of the greatest sources of illegal trade in the black market. Some have advocated for the liberation of this people, while others see them as a substitution so “real” people don’t have to experience similar horrors. Still others want the complete removal of clones as they are afraid they threaten jobs by natural birth humans. Others see them as a good way to have them do lower paying jobs, though others still prefer robotic and automated services.



Robotics and Automation:

Robotics are a very common and developed applied science, being in mainstream service long before Genetic Engineering was a household term to the public, even in many rundown areas you can expect to see many robotic servants, and droids, and various levels of automation. It’s taken for granted in much the same way Mobile devices, and Social Media is today. Though some poorer countries definition do not have either the Quantity or Quality that more prosperous countries do. Robots are used in many places, though a few still argue that they are a threat to jobs, most people seem to accept these mechanical neighbors as just part of life and many jobs still use human effort with machines and droids as their “assistants.” Despite the progress of robotics Artificial intelligence still hasn’t reached a level where a robot could be said to have a “soul” in the same way humans do, most people however believe that these days are numbered. And advances in AI are made every day. There is no question that many AI’s have been well made to show the illusion of actual emotion and free will, as seen by many people’s robotic companions. Some experts fear these robots might be replacing healthy human interaction, while others feel these people can be suitable substitutes for emotional growth. Whatever arguments there are for Robotics, one thing is for sure, everyone agrees they aren’t going away anytime soon.

Automation is a related topic. In some cities practically all day to day routine activities are automated, Subways, Flights, Cleaning services, even cars are often run by automated software, more tedious and redundant working in manufacturing and power plants are also common. What is somewhat unique is research into machines that using algorithms and Artificial intelligence can make simple designs. So far these machines still have to be monitored by humans, but the question still remains, when and if these machines can build building and conduct symphonies. What will there be for humans left to do?

Cybernetics and Augmentation:

Augmentation of the human body is an older and cheaper alternative to genetic engineering. Various augmentations, some more advanced and modern then others, are available. Some have to be paid for; others can optionally be part of a person’s plan. Some are provided for a certain profession of work.(Saw augmentation for construction work, with super-humanly strong and stable limbs with construction attachments.) Others are for more private use and interest, which are also more expensive. In certain industries and institutions (like Law enforcement and the Military) Augmentations are as common as brushing your teeth at night. Of course there are various restriction for various places and many of the same debates with genetic engineering are still held with augmentation. Such as the gap between the rich and poor, though at a lesser level as much more programs to neutralize these problems are underway and is less of a “new” thing then the changing of human gene’s themselves.

Nano machines are of course a common (if more expensive) technology and there are more restriction for this technology as well as more developments than any other tech with the exception of Psychic Powers. (I’ll get to that soon I promise!)

There is one augmentation that everyone has, almost every man, woman, and child gets this not too soon after their birth. It’s what connects them to The Grid, The Internet, and is one of the most important aspects of the obtaining and use of psychic powers. What is it? You’ll see later.



Crime and Law Enforcement:

As you may have guessed from reading some of the above entries, crime is still a very real reality. While the ability to combat crime has increased so have the toys that criminals have the ability to play with. Weapon smuggling, blackmail, scandals, money scams, industrial and military espionage, trafficking, corruption is still rampant. In same cities and districts gangs and various criminal organizations have more sway over the workings of a city then the law. Drugs are still around and there are more varieties than ever. Of particular interest are ones used to mimic genetic modification or boost people with access to Psychic abilities.

Still in other places, Crimes are low and law enforcement is greater than ever. The classic tale of man running from the law and abusing it is one of the few things that have changed very little with technological advances and it may never change as long as man still builds civilizations.



Weapons and Military:

Various levels of weaponry exist. laser and particle accelerator weapons do indeed exist and aren’t uncommon, however ballistic weapons and firearms are still cheaper and most citizens, criminals, and local law enforcers prefer them for their ease of use and cheap price. Indeed depending on the culture in a community, having a beam weapon is often either a sign of luxury and wealth to show the owners status or an unnecessary expense for an arrogant show of status. Only the highest end of crime, military, and special response squads of law enforcement have these new tools of destruction in large numbers. Of course firearms are still much more advanced than the modern era and still seen as quite formidable even if primitive. It’s not known how quickly energy weapons will replace firearms, if ever. Mech type suits, weaponized augmentation, chemical warfare, and of course Psychic power weapons are all used. There are even rumors of genetically modified monsters being used in research and covert operations. However, information is limited and often the source of urban legend and conspiracy theories.

The Militaries of various nations have many branches. Some are superior to others, while others specialize in various fields. Nuclear Holocaust is still a danger like before. However some countries even have various space mounted weapons and bases. There is debate about disarmament but many nations aren’t willing or sure they can trust the other nations to disarm while they leave themselves vulnerable to attack. Most Marines and Artillery division don’t see much action beyond pirates and smaller guerrilla extremist organization on occasion. Most warfare is done through espionage and intelligence gathering.

Economy and Natural Resources:

After the collapse of multiple economies many years ago, various nations were destroyed, transformed, and reformed. A new development in energy was discovered though many years before that has become the dominant applied use of energy, including the source of all psychic powers, various reactors and solar panels all around various key points on the moon, around the earth. (Such as the polls) And even between the Sun and Mercury collect vast amounts of energy which is then sent to various places in waves to be received on the other side. That is right we can now send and receive usable energy as well as information over waves and beams on the internet, which is then feed down to earth at various points and towers and then fed to various citizens. There is no need for batteries or gas. Everything is connected to the Grid, A giant Matrix rivaling and intertwining with the internet, where both information and energy is sent as amazing speed across the planet, and at a very cheap price. Even the poorest nations in their large towns are feed with this clean and renewable energy source. This along with the use of psychic powers, (Of which the two are very much related) is often seen as mankind’s greatest achievement. Pollution and global warming are almost non-existent. This new source of energy united and stabilized many nations of the earth which built the world we call home today.

That said many species of animals are still endangered and while our understanding of the natural world is better than ever, there is still much to learn, and the human race is still expanding and managing that expansion and our natural resources is still an issue even if pollution and the energy crisis has been solved.

The economy is based more on trade of services, skills, innovations, culture, knowledge, and tourism than natural resources as many things like fossil fuels are no longer used. Various produce and animal products are still part of the trade, chemicals used in industry and technology is valid as well. Digital credits are used everywhere, though the exchange rate can vary from country to country, and poorer countries still use different forms of payment in certain areas.



Colonization and Expansion:

Much of earth’s surface has been colonized with the few remote unexplored seas being quickly mapped. Many islands are being uncovered, new animal and plant fauna etc. Humans are turning everywhere from underground, under the sea, cities around orbit, some rich elite even boast of having cities flying in earth’s atmosphere taunting gravity itself. One of the biggest sources of expansion has been colonization of various moons and planets. Bodies closer to earth like the Moon and Mars are prime targets. Others like Sun Scorched Mercury, Deadly Venus, and The Asteroid belts are homes for Maximum Security Prisons, Research Labs, and Mining Facilities.

One notable location is various colonies on some of the Moons of the Gas Giants. It’s rather hard to get to and from, from Earth and the outer planets. Thus contact between the two places is far and in between and delayed. An almost different culture and nation has grown in isolation from the rest of civilization and is a breeding ground for unrest, political turmoil, various subcultures, and has the seeds of Revolution. What will happen remains to be seen.

Psychology and Culture:

Lots of developments have been made in various fields in psychology, one of which being able to connect one’s mind to The Grid. Repairing damaged brains or even stopping mental syndromes. (Or creating them for certain eccentrics) is expensive but not uncommon. One practice in particular that deserves attention is the use of the MBTI system of Personality classification. For years it has been debated on its scientific validity.(Or rather lack thereof) but with the advent of Psychic powers it’s been discovered the ability types of psychic power use correlates quite disturbingly to what many considered a pseudo-science. Para Psychology is now one of the most widely studied and pioneered fields. (We will go more into this on the sections about Psychic Powers.)

Culture is still evolving. Many national identities are changing yet also struggling to preserve their historical culture, riding the fine line between adaption to the modern era and perversion of the original intent. One prominent movement that has been growing is a Libertarian philosophy of wanting to not have to rely on the Grid and come up with individual and unmonitored sources of energy for psychic power. Overlapping but not necessarily synonymous with this new movement has begun a subculture and counter culture of various individuals creating their own self modifications to their own body, mind, Grid uplink, OS systems, Software, Personal Self-Growth, for changing their bodies for better and personalized use of Psychic ability. This movement can be comparable to a mix between the New Age Movement, Anonymous, and the UNIX/LINUX computer subcultures, with various factions in between focusing on everything from Art, Science, Politics, Entertainment, Self-Actualization, all the way to some almost cult like factions. (More info on both of these in the Religion and Politics section and in the Psychic powers subsections.)



Religion and Politics:

Despite all the scientific progress many religious beliefs both old and modified for the current times is still alive and well. Some Religious movements are either in favor of moderation to outright banning of robotics, genetics, and especially psychic powers believing them to be a sign of man’s vanity and pride and turning away from relying on the older traditions and a worship of the human psyche. Others see it as another gift from the heavens and as part of man’s destiny to get closer to his creator seeing as psychic powers are a mirror of man’s personality and that man is the “image of God.” Others are more dark and cryptic believing Humans ought to be called a new race and that we are on the verge of becoming gods or all collectively becoming one conscience and singularity. Some of these beliefs are subcultures in the above movements mentioned in psychology and culture.

Politics for the most part has already been discussed in the other subsections. But to recap there are many opinions of the place of Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Modification, The Grid, and Psychic abilities. And many subcultures are affiliated with various beliefs of moderation, expansion, etc.

Communication and The Grid:

We already touched on The Grid in Economy and Natural Resources, however we will go more deeply into it and specifically it’s use in a more personal and communication sense. The Grid connects everyone and everything. Energy is sent from various collecting/Fusion plants to various towers, which are then sent to other points, all the way down to individual homes, and into the individuals themselves, though a special augmentation that is given soon after birth. It’s a semi-organic device in the brain that acts as a media device, internet connection, and each user’s personal rechargeable battery. Users can connect with each other on the internet and communicate from within their minds.(A sort of Telepathy, though there are still privacy settings and you can only send data to people that “pick up” so to speak.) Each person can also draw energy from their augmentation in their mind, and use it to preform various feats using psychic powers.(The internet/cell phone thing does NOT count as one of these feats, information on psychic powers work will be in their own section.) This personal “battery” will recharge over time. Each person has a quota on how much energy they are allowed to spend within a given period of time. (This quote depends on what service plans they are on what plans are available of course vary with country, district, personal finances, and benefits they are entitled to, etc. All information exchanged as well as energy used for Psychic phenomenon can be tracked and monitored on the grid. That combined with the limited amount of energy the average person gets, prevents any one person from being able to unleash their psychic powers around the world without consequence. Certain forms of psychic phenomenon are also difficult or in some cases not possible without a proper power supply quota, and special upgrades and equipment in both the software and hardware of the mental implant.

Some people have protested the use of The Grid despite its comforts and conveniences due to its potential use in the invasion of privacy. Some have taken it upon themselves to create their own energy sources and implant modifications for use of psychic powers without the express watchfulness of the government. Needless to say, the legality of this is debatable.

Psychic Powers and their Impact:

Now for what you’ve all been waiting for, A Detailed explanation of the Discovery, Use, and Nature of Psychic Abilities in human species. A long time ago, around the year 2025, it was discovered that humans could use various psychic abilities; however these abilities were so weak as to have little practical application in daily living and thus stayed mostly as an experimental and theoretical field for many years. Then in the year 2037 The Grid was being built and it was discovered with a new way of transmitting both data and energy that human’s finally had the energy to fully explore the extend of what could be done with the power of the mind. Science Fiction became common occurrence. Despite ongoing research into other lifeforms humans are still the only species that can utilize psychic powers. However it was soon discovered psychic powers and the personality of an individual had an intertwined relationship.

Meta info: From this point on some Meta info after each section to better understand these abstract concepts.

Personality and Psychic Abilities:

It is an unavoidable fact that psychic powers requires an amount of energy to preform that cannot be supplied by the energy of an individual human being’s intake of daily nutrients, however different people have different aptitudes and bents for using psychic abilities in different ways in large part depending on their personality. To understand the different personality types one must first understand the fundamentals of what makes up personality and their correlation to psychic phenomenon.

Psychic Powers can be divided into two subcategories which can be further subdivided into another two subcategories and finally that subcategory can be further subdivided. Leading two eight categories of Psychic phenomenon. Each individual has access to these eight sub disciplines. However there are 16 types of personality based off different orders of priority of these sub disciplines and how they interact. But first here are the eight sub disciplines Once you have these sub disciplines understood. We can deal with the hierarchy of sub disciplines.

Meta info: The personality system is based off the mbti, so if you have an understanding of the mbti and your own mbti type you can follow along and when you’re done use it to build a character for a role play setting! (The video links can help I’d recommend watching all the basic mbti video on that channel for an even better understanding but I’m not going to post all of them.)

Channel link here:

Psychokinesis:

This category of Psychic powers is based off application of Psychic energy to either do or evaluate matter and energy based off information gained through Clairvoyance. (Which is the other category More on this relationship later.) Below are two categories of Psychokinesis under Meta info.

Meta info: This sub discipline is basically the judging functions such as Extroverted Thinking, Introverted Thinking, Extroverted Feeling, and Introverted Feeling. As we go on you’ll see how the sub disciplines of psychic powers correlate to the functions of mbti.

Telekinesis:

This subcategory is based off the use of Psychic abilities to accomplish a given task or objective or organize the world based off rules and logic, Or moving matter and energy around you to put things in place. There are two forms of Telekinesis.

Meta info: This sub discipline is based off the Thinking functions of the mbti which are based off making a decisions based more on logic and objectives. There are two forms of these functions as you will soon see.



PK

This aspect of Telekinesis is based off directing Quantities based off a set of instructions, commands, and formula’s to achieve a certain state or produce a finished product, using Inductive Reasoning, or a set of various “actions” in order to do so. Unlike PSI their ability to control the environment does not form an overarching system and lacks some of the modulation as a result. An Example would include Rotating, Translating, or reflecting a select object(s) in a given point in space.

Meta info: This subpower of Telekinesis is based off Extroverted Thinking or Te in the MBTI, and is based off an objective comprehension and standard understanding of accomplishing a given objective and putting objects into an ordered place to achieve a certain state based of logic and order. People with this higher in their stack are usually assertive, straightforward, and have a degree of control and professionalism and a frank sense of humor.



PSI

This part of Telekinesis is based off categorizing and refining principles of Quantities based off an underlying individual understanding of the fundamentals parts of a given system or object. Using Deductive reasoning to take a set of base assumptions about certain base “units” and re-configuring them to create an effect in the environment. In contrast with PK they cannot give out simply commands and task based actions, which makes their abilities less easily available in situations without a prior understanding. An example would include identifying base units of measurement. (Such as the seven base units of the Metric systems and combining them to create more base units and create equations to apply to the environment.)

Meta info: This subpower of Telekinesis is based off Introverted Thinking of Ti in the MBTI, and is based off a logic yet personal understanding and categorization of objects based off an internal framework to achieve a mental independence from the force around them based off a given set of Axioms. People high on this stack usually seem more aloof and distant and set in their head. While less assertive, they are just as stubborn and independent in thought.



Telepathy:

This subcategory is based off the use of Psychic abilities to influence the more personal and subjective parts of the mind for both others and the user themselves by appealing to their egos, desires, and beliefs. There are two forms of Telepathy.

Meta info: This sub discipline is based off the Feeling functions of the mbti which is making decisions based on a more humanity based thinking and based on what feels right. There are two forms of this function, as to be seen.



CAS

This subcategory of Telepathy is based off being able to influence and alter a person’s psychological state based off the various cultural norms, values, and expectations around you and the “dialog” between people of how they expect (or don’t) expect to be treated as. People with this ability are able to influence another person or other living beings actions and powers using their own humanity and “pushing” it in the desired direction. This allows them to use powers from other people that they can tap into to the degree they can “sync” with them. Unlike PAS they don’t get as much power when in isolation from an environment of human values and presence. An example would be using a Weapon in a certain shape or with certain markings that have some kind of meaning or value to the people around them (Such as being menacing or uncanny for instance.) And them that strengthens their Telekinesis to make the object match that belief, Such as refining the cutting edge of the blade.) It can also use for positive effects such as healing and sensory enhancement.

Meta info: This subpower of Telepathy is based off the Extroverted Feeling Function or Fe of the MBTI. And is based off external standards and ideals of humanity and culture and what is considered acceptable and thinking of the emotional state and atmosphere of others before oneself. People with this function higher are more socially aware of the emotional atmosphere and better able to bend and shape it with a sort of charisma.



PES

This subcategory of Telepathy is based off using owns one sense of self and individual ideals to change their own mental state or “re-enforce” a certain shape of themselves like self-suggestion or a placebo, to boast their own Psychic power performance when their actions are in align with this state.(Basically weaponize their inner life.) People that are aligned in a similar state can also synchronize with the user. However unlike CES ability users they aren’t as in tune and able to skillfully alter the cultural and psychological expectations around them and they themselves cannot be a consistently altered. An example includes attaching certain meaning to a color or symbol and when one wears that symbol or in some cases sees someone else wearing that emblem. That acts a something to increase their drive to perform a certain action. (Like better Energy output when using their Telekinesis.)

Meta info: This subpower of Telepathy is based off Introverted Feeling of the MBTI. It’s a function based on one’s internal framework of ideals and sense of self and authenticity. People with this function higher in their stack have a certain “strong waters run deep.” And strong sense of self and what they feel deeply is “right.”



Clairvoyance:

This category of Psychic powers is based off sensing and gathering information and perceiving the energy, matter, and world around you to be applied or evaluated by Psychokinesis (The Other category.) Later the relationship between the two will be further disclosed. Under Meta info are the two sub categories of Clairvoyance.

Meta info: This sub discipline is based off the perceiving functions of the mbti such as Extroverted Sensing, Introverted Sensing, Extroverted Intuition, and Introverted Intuition. As we proceed you’ll see the correlations between psychic powers and the functions of the mbti.



Extrasensory Perception:

This subcategory of Clairvoyance is based off what is essentially an extension of the five senses. Or the ability to sense what is presently going on around you in “real time” beyond the limitations of the physical senses in both detail and motion. There are two forms of this ability.

Meta info: This sub discipline is based off the sensing functions of the mbti, or the taking in of information based on what is presently perceived by the five sense, what currently “is” as oppose to what it might “be.” There are of course two forms that correlate to the mbti.



ESP

This subcategory of Extra Sensory Perception is the ability to “see” and sense the currently flow of events, energy and motion in an active kinetic sense with a high amount of reaction time and ability to comprehend as to better interactive with active and vibrant action and phenomenon going on in the present world. Unlike EMP this ability us more useful for manipulated the flow of the world rather than careful identifying and replicating the minute impression and details of a given state of objects properties. An Example would be sensing the flow of currents like Water and Electricity and to be able to almost “Feel” the pressure and rate of flow in real time.

Meta Info: This sub power of Extra Sensory Perception is based off Extroverted Sensing or Se of the MBTI. It deals with perceiving the world and being drawn toward active moving stimuli and living in the moment. People with his function higher often have an improvisation yet pragmatic attitude and are so focused on being in the moment rather than the worries of the past or concerns for the future.



EMP

This sub category of Extra Sensory Perception is based off taking in and storing the various and unique impression of the physical details and characteristics of a given object, stimulus, event, or phenomena and then using it as a guide for later use of Psychic abilities. It’s good for building reflexive familiarity and for a storehouse of information on a given set of preferred specialize forms of physical properties and manifestations. Unlike ESP it’s not as good for in the moment adaptive to ever changing stimuli and riding the flow of present energy. An example would be memorizing the Chemical Structure or Atmospheric Composition of A substance or the air around them respectively. And then compare any other chemical structures or atmospheres with past ones for re calibration.

Meta Info: This subpower of Extra Sensory Perception is based off Introverted Sensing or Si of the MBTI. It’s based off perceiving the world from a frame work of a personal collection of impressions and memories gained from their previous experience with certain types of stimuli and the details it entails. People with this function higher are more down to earth, practical, and prefer conventional wisdom and personal experience and not take risks off impulse or “idle theory.”

Second Sight:

This subcategory of psychic phenomenon is based off trying to forecast possible outcomes of the objects around them and is less about what information is currently present and more about possible events that can occur and gauging of the effort need to preform them. This ability can take two forms.

Meta info: This sub discipline is based off the intuition functions of the mbti, or the taking in of information based off the possibilities of what an object might be or might represent as oppose to the current evident reality. As you may have guessed there are two forms of this function that correlate to the above ability’s two parts.



Precognition:

This subcategory of Second Sight is based off trying to predict different outcomes and possibilities of a given event or paths an object can take as a sort of string or “web of connections” and then with that information decide how with Psychic abilities they choose to alter or affect the object into one of those possible outcomes. It’s good very versatile, varied, and quickly changing the objects around them. It is less efficient then Premonition of truly sensing the innate and intricate nature of the object rather sensing the various actions to can do and forms it may take. An Example includes after gaining knowledge of a block of carbon and its amount then being able to “see” how many different chemical forms it can take, with knowledge of the materials around the carbon, what combinations of carbon and other elements it can take as well.

Meta info: This subpower of Second Sight is based off Extroverted Intuition or Ne of the MBTI. This is the gathering of information by looking at an object and event for various possibilities of what is might be and what it can do as if running through a list and snapping it into different combinations in their mind. People with this function higher are often eccentric, inventive, and while not always aloof often have their heads in the clouds and are eager to explore new options for the object(s) of their interest.



Premonition:

This subcategory of Second Sight is based off trying to interpret and have an intricate comprehension of the true nature of an object and how it fits into a holistic whole and to make its various potential and application seems to come to them in a “flash of insight” once they comprehend the true “nature” of the object they can manipulate with Psychic abilities in seemingly counter-intuitive ways that defy convention. Unlike Precognition it is not as good as quickly shifting the present state or form of an object in a quicker, interconnected manner. Preferring more focused and polished perception of a particular event and phenomena. An Example including comprehending the nature and Space and perceiving it as a Sheet to make it easier to “Stretch” and “Contract.”

Meta info: This subpower of Second Sight is based off Introverted Intuition or Ni of the MBTI. This is the perception of information by having a personal and innate perspective or insight of a situation in a way that the users themselves may not fully understand but still subconsciously “know” or “see” something that is not always easily apparent or able to be put into words. People with this function higher often seem keen on certain things and insights and are able to find out and “see” things before others do, and may be seen as mystics or visionaries in their fields and communities, it can be difficult to understand exactly how their inner life functions however.



Psychic Power Sub-disciplines and How They Interact:

Understanding the eight powers of psychic phenomenon and how they relate to the functions of the mbti is one thing but what is more important is how all eight interact. You see each person has a different combination of the one of two types of Telekinesis, Telepathy, Extra Sensory Perception, and Second Sight respectively. And what combination of the four they have determines their overall aptitude for Psychic ability. While all types can theoretically perform any feat with enough energy certain abilities will be easier for different types.

Each type has two Clairvoyant Functions one Second Sight, either Precognition or Premonition, and one Extra Sensory Perception, either ESP or EMP. If one Clairvoyant function is bent inward.(Premonition or EMP) the other must be bent outward(Precognition of ESP). For example, The ESTJ using the Extrasensory Perception EMP(inward) while their Second Sight is Precognition(outward.) In the same way the Psychokinetic functions each type as a Telepathic bent and a Telekinetic bent. One being inward (PSI, PES) and one being outward (PK, CAS) using the ESTJ example again he uses the Telekinetic Function of PK(outward) and the Telepathic function PES(inward). In all each type has a Psychokinetic and a Clairvoyant function both inward and outward. And the opposite of the other form of Psychokinesis and Clairvoyance respectively the other way around.

Even if two types have the same functions (Actually of the 16 types, each 4 groups of types has the same functions) They will still be different if they are in a different order of priority.

For example The ESTJ’s psychic ability functions in priority is a Telekinetic PK(outward), a Extrasensory Perception EMP(inward), A Second Sight Precognition(outward), and at the bottom a Telepathic PES(inward).

Contrast with the INFP’s powers which are the opposite of a Telepathic PES(inward), Second Sight Precognition(outward), a Extrasensory Perception EMP(inward), is a Telekinetic PK(outward) is the bottom of the ladder for them.

These same functions at different levels lead to a different bent towards types of psychic phenomena. (What these bents are will be examined in more detail on the profiles for the 16 types later on.) For now please note the four functions are tied that the first two will always be a Clairvoyant and a Psychokinetic pair, as will the two at the bottom of the stack. The two Clairvoyant functions helps the user gather information on the environment that is then used by the Psychokinetic functions to manipulate the environment. What kind of information is focused on and how it’s manipulated is as you may have guessed influenced by their stack.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming people of the same type have identical techniques. They may control the world with a similar method but may employ that same method in different individual ways. This is especially evident in more advanced and developed users that combine their powers with robotic enhancement, various combat and technical skills, and in some cases genetic modifications, or any combination of the above. (More details on that in another section.)

This will become clearer when you’ve read a couple of the 16 profiles. At one point you’ll even be able to predict the pattern once you have it down. One of the secrets to defeating a user of Psychic power is too figure it out its type and thus how it uses its ability. Only then can you properly counter it. Be forewarned not everyone of the same personality type wears the exact same mask.



The 16 Types:

Now we’ll go over profiles for the profiles of each of the 16 types and their psychic abilities, order of them, and how they interact with their abilities. Keep in mind each type once again will use these powers in different ways even if they are the same type.

ESTJ:



Outward use of Telekinesis(PK)

Inward use of Extra Sensory Perception(EMP)

Outward use of Second Sight(Precognition)

Augmentation and Psychic Powers:

As you may have read above it’s possible to augment one’s abilities by upgrading various parts of the technology both hardware and software that help to have the users engage in para-psychological abilities. Including power sources, calculating powers, circuitry, interface between brain and components etc. As well as genetically enhance your own body and/or add cybernetic components to become a cyborg and configure them in such a way to work with your Psychic abilities.

There is however one step even above this, Some people have chosen to become a being known as an A.O.S (Anthropomorphic Operating Systems) Where rather than simply upgrading the technological implants that connects the power of the grid to their physical body they instead make their body itself one and the same with the technology. Their very conscience is part of the build in the computer, their very veins, and chemical and hormone systems in their body part of the Operating System to be configured, the circuits in the computer feelings one and the same with their own nervous system, etc. This procedure cannot be performed by any public service and many countries and districts have outlawed such a practice. This is partially because of the inherent danger. You see in order to upgrade your body into an A.O.S especially as you add onto it later. (Almost as if you yourself are a custom car or PC) It require you take the person’s use of psychic powers (And the correlating personality) into consideration. As you grow more advanced in your individuality it becomes more difficult to upgrade yourself because each human being becomes their own case so to speak that is too say “there is no one size that fits all” In the beginning the upgrade will be similar in accordance to simple Blood Types( the sixteen personalities in this case), but becomes more nuanced as each person’s Genetic code, Experiences, Technology, Cultural context, Personality Development causes people to diverge. Making the process both to risky and expensive to mass produce even for military purposes.

In a counter-culture around this practice has grown up around this, often referring to themselves as the “Modern day Heroes and Mystics or whatever.” Some focus more on the technological aspects of the A.O.S transformation and are more like PC enthusiast or hackers with knowledge of biology. Others are more cult-like and focus more on the self-realization part and treat the process more like a New Age religion. Most are somewhere in the middle leaning towards one or the other. This movement often crosses over with the Libertarian movements of trying to get off the Grid. As the quest for power independence and the desire to express individuality and grow in independence are very close.

Various people have different attitudes of this vast and diverse group that besides the above mentioned goals often come from a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs whether they be religious, economic, or political. This includes various attitudes and frictions with the various governments and legislative systems. As well as the bigger players in the Capitalistic markets. (Ergo big businesses feeling threatened on people not needing their products and services.)

Well that’s the basics of the Setting. For a better illustration, I’ll do an in depth profile of the each of the 16 types using a hypothetical and specific example (By making a character bio.) On occasion, each one as a separate blog

Feel to respond/reblog which of these profiles you’d all like to hear an example of first. I’ll also post a video from the aforementioned channel to that type if you’re interested as well
