Just making sure you understand that.

Now, about his power, could you be more specific about how it actually works? "Speed" is a bit vague. Does he physically speed up his reactions and movements, or does he literally slow down his personal time?

...Uh, can it be both? >.>

If not, then go with the former.

[Ghost]

Calling Hydrokinesis, if that's okay. Full sheet will be up...later.

Placeholder for power.
If available, Chronokinesis.
If not, Telekinesis.

You still need to be more specific. Remember that you just get one unique ability, so try to be inventive.

"Telekinisis" can mean a number of different things. Case in point...

ESPER ABILITY:
(Note: As he does not like to speak of it and rarely uses it in a noticeable manner, Eli's power is not common knowledge beyond the fact that it fits into the psychokinetic class.)

Name: Boundary Edict
Class: Psychokinetic

Form:
Boundary Edict is an ability derived from Telekinesis thanks to which, by tracing the pattern of two connected objects with his mind, Eli can separate them.
Requirements:
1 - Eli must be able to trace the objects in his mind. As such, unless he is already familiar with the target, the power requires line of sight.
2 - Eli cannot control them once the objects have been separated. That is to say that unless the objects can float under their own power or are supported by something else, they will fall to the ground.
3 - The target must have been two objects initially. So while it would be possible to separate two sheets of paper that have been glued together(by separating one of the sheets from the glue), it would be impossible to break a rock in half, unless that rock had been artificially constructed from two separate pieces.

This!

This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. Heck, I didn't even have to impose any limits to this power because Siriel went and did it himself.

hm,
Telekinesis is essentially the ability to move an object on the physical plane using only psychic power.
So, basically I was thinking.....

Something like that. Nothing overly fancy, just moving things with the mind.

Not really.

If not, then go with the former.

Physical speed up it is.

I'll try to figure out the values of his esper stats once I get enough sleep for my brain to start working again. x_X

Got dibs on Geokinisis

What Ghost means is that there are a lot of abilities that can be derived from Telekinesis.

And having 'general' Telekinesis would make for it to be incredibly weak, since the whole point of the Espers is that they have a unique power of limited versatility.

Hm, I think I'm getting it........would psychic vectors be overpowered?

Updated my post.

[Siriel]

Is it me, or is everyone just grabbing a 'kinesis' and going with that?

Yeah, but how does your character move things, exactly?

Does he create an invisible arm that extends from his person? Or does he control the air molecules around the objects? Or is it more like him creating a constant force that kinda pushes things around? Etc.

Actually, I don't mind him having classic type TK, as long as he specifies the mechanics behind the power.

Frankly, I'm more concerned that ya'll seem to be going for the psychokinetics. oO

thought that was the idea,.

Psychic Arm(s)

[Legato]

So is my selection alright?

[Ghost]

Psionic arms, then. Now you're getting it.

And "overpowered" depends entirely on your esper stat values. Frankly, with you all starting off at Level 1, non of you are going to be anything near overpowered anytime soon.

Bah. You should be much more worried that they're all being lazy and just grabbing general 'kinesis' instead of interestingly restricted powers.
