Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Psionics: The Next Stage In Human Evolution is a tabletop RPG by End Transmission Games. Funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014, it was released on June 2nd 2015 and debuted at Origins Game Fair 2015. In addition to the setting and rules of the game, Psionics contains several short stories, written by the creators and some of the play testers. Tomorrow’s Starlight, New World Water, Broken Things, The Kids From Yesterday, and Captured illustrate the realities faced by new and seasoned espers (humans with psychic powers), particularly members of The Zodiac Order. Set in the modern day, the in-game universe is superficially identical to our own. Underneath the veneer, however, things look very different. Pharmacological tampering by the US government, starting with Project MKUltra and advancing in the shadows ever since, has resulted in the creation of drugs that awaken psychic powers in the rare individuals that have the genetic potential for it. The children of these individuals also have a chance of developing psionic powers naturally. They can start fires, read minds, move objects, effect probability, stop hearts, see the future, and do a wide variety of other feats just by concentrating. What’s more, they’re physically and mentally superior to normal humans. These “espers” are the next stage in human evolution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The overwhelming majority of people don’t know that espers exist and for good reason. A number of massive, shadowy, conspiracies work behind the scenes to cover up their existence, and they will stop at nothing to manipulate, indoctrinate, and control espers to further their own goals. All of these conspiracies have their own agendas and see each other as competition that needs to be destroyed. As a newly awakened esper, you’ll be conscripted into a war that you never knew was happening. The life you knew is gone. Your present is confusing. Your future is uncertain. Your friends and loved ones are far away from you.Now, shut up and keep running.The tropes below may include unmarked spoilers from the GM's Section.

Katanas Are Just Better: A katana is a highly-expensive sword that gives you improved attack rolls and does damage based on Speed, not Strength. It's also the strongest bladed weapon.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay
 Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution (Tabletop Game) / int_15264ac9
comment
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: Even if the Talent Unlock Burst gives you the power to save the day, you still might overload. Using Telepathy or Telempathy on a person who isn't aware that psychokinesis exists may result in the target thinking that they're going crazy. Read Surface Thoughts and Telepathy do not translate the other person's thoughts into your language, so language barriers can occur. You can around this with Telempathy and Read Memories though. Clairsentience allows you to remotely view or hear distant locations, but any data you gather is based entirely on what your own senses can pick up and what you personally can understand. Psionic Hacking allows you to quickly bypass electronic security systems but, if you want to do something fancy once you're in, you'd better have some time. You can use bar stools in combat but they will break and become less effective soon enough. You can use heavy weapons, like shoulder mounted rocket launchers and so on, but you need to have a strength score of at least 5 to do so. Also, good luck finding someone to buy that from, unless you have a black market contact and a ton of money or belong to The Shop. Many drugs are great for restoring power points, healing damage, reducing overflow, improving psitalents, or just having fun, but overdosing or becoming addicted have severe consequences.

Poor Communication Kills: People who are being Pushed or Dominated by a psychokinetic can find wiggle room in their commands if the psychokinetic in question didn’t use specific enough wording and they have the presence of mind to come up with loopholes. Example: “Drop your weapon” could result in a Dominated soldier dropping their gun from one hand, catching it with the other and shooting the psychokinetic in the head.

Pyrokinesis is based on manipulating molecular activity. Its primary use is to increase and decrease the temperature. Its subpowers are Entropy (tearing apart molecular bonds, allowing for disintegration and the generation of radioactive energies), Magnakinesis (control of electromagnetic fields to manipulate the weather) and Synchronicity (manipulation of probability).

Power Limiter
 Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution (Tabletop Game) / int_1dce4748
comment
Power Limiter: Espers have an internal one. You always have fewer max overflow boxes than max power points, but using psitalents costs and equal amount of both (with the exception of Osmoses talents, which cost no power points), unless you're using certain drugs, so you can't just go in throwing everything you have all at once or you risk an overload. Works the other way too. An overload ends when the overflow gauge empties or the esper dies, so they aren't as fatal and destructive as they could be.

In the events of the story, she's shown to be a manipulative gold digger.

All or Nothing: The Talent Unlock Burst mechanic. Either an esper gets enough C.A.P.s (Color Advancement Points) to gain a new talent level or they get no C.A.P.s at all. The area of effect talent Conflagration, which makes enemies around the target of Ignite take damage, only works if you hit the primary target.

Status Effects: Irradiate and Improved Irradiation inflict severe radiation poisoning on the victim, resulting in massive penalties to almost everything for between 1 and 4 hours. Psychic Scream and Improved Psychic Scream inflict stat penalties as the victim is overwhelmed with nonsensical sensory data. Being hit with a flashbang grenade penalizes checks, tests, and defense for five turns. Being caught in the radius of a gas grenade will inflict status penalties on the the target, based on what was loaded into it.

Bag of Spilling: Justified. Espers are almost constantly on the run and have to move quickly, so you're expected to lose all of your gear, or have it taken from you, on a regular basis. If an esper isn't a fugitive, it's expected that most of what they have is standard issue from their superiors and must be returned at some point.

Fantastic Drug: Nairlophine,Taramine, and Adrinol are all dangerous and highly addictive combat drugs that remove varying amounts of damage. Damatrol removes all overflow. Pretarine prevents an esper from taking overflow. Hyper waives the power point cost of using talents and gives the user hallucinations and a sense of invulnerability. Light prevents the user from taking drain when using psitalents and gives the user hallucinations and a strong psychedelic experience.

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Oddly enough, this applies to some of the bad guys more than the good guys. The Shop's preference list for dealing with non-Institute espers that their agents come across is Capture, Ignore, or Kill in that order. An agent who kills an esper who might be useful later will be in trouble unless it was absolutely necessary to protect Institute interests. Aleph and Abraxis Biotech's Private Military Contractors operate much the same way, but are far happier to break out the firepower against cops or witnesses.

Mad Scientist: The head doctor in Broken Things certainly counts. The details of what he does are left up the the reader's imagination, but Harry's reactions certainly show that it's horrific and traumatizing for him and that the doctor doesn't care.

Flipping the Bird: The page's image (which is also the book's back cover image) depicts Chris Riven flipping the bird while using pyrokinesis. Mama Bear flips double birds at a Shop agent. The singer of Tomorrow's Starlight is depicted flipping off a crowd with both hands. Lucky gets flipped off by Scott while trying to escape an angry mob.

Person of Mass Destruction: Popping espers are a deadly threat to everyone in their overload radius. Chance and Leona for example. Masters of telekinesis can summon massive blasts of telekinetic force with TK Blast. This attack is strong enough to throw tanks and affects a circle with a radius between 1 and 10 yards long, depending on the user’s will score. Masters of pyrokinesis can summon massive fires that effect an area similar to that of TK Blast, . Master level magnekinetics take the cake. They can summon any extreme weather conditions (including tornadoes, hurricanes, and hailstorms) that they want, anywhere within 100 miles of their location. The event lasts for up to 24 hours, and only takes one minute to manifest.

Catch and Return: Telekinetics can use their powers to grab projectiles and throw them back at people. Depending on how strong they are, this can be used on something as small as a kitchen knife or as large as a school bus.

Boring, but Practical: The Dodge technique isn't as flashy as a lot of the others, but it automatically succeeds against attempted TK Grabs (which, if they succeed, set the victim up for extraordinarily vicious attacks and penalize defense) and is useful against more mundane attacks as well.

She doesn’t go into detail, but says that she “didn’t mean to hurt all those people” and wonders if she's been abandoned for it. The incident where Callie publicly humiliated Tim isn't elaborated on and bringing it up is one of Tim's berserk buttons.

Tim is bullied less often than Ian, but he's even less respected than him, suffered a humiliating rejection from a girl that he can't bring himself to stop liking, and receives an embarrassing, but justified, call out from Leona. He also gets his crush killed.

The Resenter: Ian (who is also the Juggernaut archetype) is highly resentful and bitter towards several people in Tomorrow's Starlight. Targets of his ire include his foster parents, his high school bullies, his current situation, Lucky, Mama Bear, having to go to Williamsburg, and himself. The bulk of his internal monologue is either complaining or insulting people. Despite knowing that it isn't fair and trying not to be resentful, Chance just plain doesn't like Tony because he's athletic and good looking. He also resents that Tony's love of fantasy football was acceptable while his own love of tabletop Role Playing Games was nerdy.

Disproportionate Retribution: If you turn down a recruitment offer from The Shop, Abraxis, Aleph, or The Red Orchestra, they will either kill you, forcibly abduct you, or ruin your life until you have no other choice but to change your mind. Harry's punishments in Broken Things are extremely harsh and are handed out for doing things like talking out of turn, requesting to be called by his name instead of subject number, and not answering questions quickly enough while under extreme duress. Rose is rude to her captors in the beginning of Captured. They respond by sedating her, shaving her head, taking away her piercings, and doing laser removal on her tattoos.

Stereotypical Nerd: Ian, Tim, and Chance were unpopular, uncool, and frequently bullied before being awakened. They still are, to varying degrees. Tim is definitely the most straight example of the three. Everything about him, from his clothing to his haircut to his taste in music to the way he carries himself, is painfully awkward and uncool. He even has coke bottle glasses.

Power Incontinence: Espers suffer this during an overload. An esper’s first manifestation of their talents is often accidental and the result of a surge of emotion. For example, Ian inadvertently TK Pushes bullies that are about the beat him up. Peregrine is overwhelmed by voices when his psychokinesis manifests. An esper will suffer this if given anteronar, if the ensuing heart attack doesn't outright kill them.

The Strength stat determines a character's Health and the Will stat determines their Power Points and Overflow Gauge, all of which limit an esper's ability to use psi-talents; the Wits stat directly affects the efficacy of those talents, as well as determining how many talents an esper starts with.

Lethal Harmless Powers: Technokinetics can make technology short out with EMP Blast. That’s annoying, but not so fatal, what with there being fail safes and dead switches and so on, right? Oh, if they have Penetration, it also works on cranial cybernetic implants…which explode when they short. Chaff Storm disrupts all communications for an area up to 40 miles around the user, which is useful for keeping enemies for calling in backup. Now, think about how much collateral damage that might cause in a residential area, since the user is also blocking calls to 911, hospitals, poison control,etc.

Not So Omniscient After All: The Psychometry talent can give you a perfect understanding of an event that happened in the past as thought the you were an omniscient, neutral observer, but you're more likely to get random thoughts or glimpses of what was witnessed by people who were there. It gets more likely that you'll get the omniscient perspective as you gain levels in scrying, but you're never guaranteed to get the best result. Precognition can give you prophetic dreams, but (if you fail a secret will check the GM makes and they feel like jerking you around a bit) sometimes it will give you dream with false information instead. You need to have telepathically communicated with someone in the past to use Mind Scan to locate them and it doesn't work outside of your clairsentience range.

Meaningful Name: Rose has a very thorny personality. Her code name is Mama Bear. Both Tomorrow’s Starlight and Captured establish that she’s highly dangerous and capable of being extremely violent, especially if she feels that her friends are being threatened. Also, Ian mentions that she identifies as a bear shaman and is apparently not shy about it. Lucky Wacker is a fortuitous jerkass. To rive something is to split, crack, or tear something violently. Chris Riven is a very damaged individual who is capable of easily inflicting grievous harm on others. Chance is probably the luckiest character in the entire book.

Masquerade: Most of the conspiracies avoid revealing psi power to the public to maintain their own power. There's no unified organization policing this, however; smart independent espers keep a low profile because if they don't, they reveal their own existence to the conspiracies. The Zodiac Order goes out of its way to reveal psi powers to the public, but while they have plenty of true believers, the public as a whole considers the whole thing to be fake. Part of this is because they mostly reveal their powers through a band and a religious organization for the purpose of attracting useful cannon fodder, rather than trying to disseminate scientific evidence of the existence of psi. ("Science" is something The Man does, anyway.) Attempting to break the Masquerade by demonstrating your powers on YouTube is shown to be a fatal rookie mistake. First off, the comments section is going to be filled with "FAKE" repeated over and over, and the masses won't believe you. Second, you'll get a midnight visit from The Men in Black.

Villain Has a Point: No matter which conspiracy acts as your primary enemy in a given campaign, most of them aren't completely immoral or wrong. The Zodiac Order genuinely wants to protect espers from all the other conspiracies trying to capture, dissect, enslave, or kill them. They want to create a world where espers live openly and freely; unfortunately, they believe that the only way to accomplish that is by killing off most of humanity and enslaving the rest. The Shop is trying to maintain the current status quo, preserving normalcy from the threat posed by espers and protecting modern civilization from all the other conspiracies trying to destroy it or take it over. Despite all of their crimes, they also seem to have at least some minimal semblance of concern for civilian lives (certainly more than Abraxas or the Zodiac Order, at any rate). Aleph isn't described as doing anything particularly horrible, especially compared to the other conspiracies. Their extremely subtle and discrete methods tend to result in far fewer buildings blowing up and far fewer innocent people being kidnapped, tortured, or killed. Eschaton is the only conspiracy that's not trying to take over the world; in fact, they're actively trying to prevent anyone from taking over the world. They also seem to genuinely care about protecting normal citizens from espers... and in fairness, espers do have an unfortunate tendency to abuse their powers and cause injury, death, and destruction on a massive scale, both intentionally and during spontaneous emotional breakdowns.

Unwitting Pawn: Most of the Zodiac Order's devotees are spiritual new age hippies and anti-establishment punks who are completely unaware of the Order's genocidal true goals. They've also been led to believe that they're destined to become espers themselves, when in reality the vast majority of them don't have psi-potential and taking PPE Cs will harm or kill them. These devotees are seen as "useful idiots" by the esper supremacists controlling the group. To a lesser extent, this applies to some of the Zodiac Order's espers too: A lot of espers join the Order because they're on the run from the other conspiracies and have nowhere else to go, despite either not knowing about or not supporting the Order's long-term goals.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: P.P.E.C.s and P.P.I.C.s are color coded based on what psionic powers they affect. Red is pyrokinesis, blue is telekinesis, and green is psychokinesis. Additionally, P.P.E.C.s are bright colors, whereas P.P.I.C.s are dark colors. Abyss, which affects all psionic talents, is black. All of the medical and psionically active drugs fall into this trope. If the play remembers their color combinations and shades, they'll be able to identify them consistently. The book itself switches off between red, blue, and green color schemes, but the sections on pisonic talents are color-coded to the talent trees. (ex. The biofeedback section is blue, the entropy section is red, etc.)

Tech Tree: Each primary talent has three subtalents. You need a certain level in a primary talent before you can unlock subtalents. Each time you advance a psionic talent; you also gain new skills and/or improve existing ones. Telekinesis allows you to access the biofeedback, somakinesis, and necrokinesis talent trees. Pyrokinesis allows you to access the synchronicity, entropy, and magnekinesis talent trees. Psychokinesis allows you to access the technokinesis, scrying, and osmoses talent trees.

Wave of Death allows you to use necrokinesis or Systemic Paralysis on up to ten people within line of sight. Legendary Weather Control allows you to summon massive hailstones that do continuous damage to anyone and anything exposed to them. Consumptive Field allows you to drain power points from up to four people in line of sight at once.

Bullying a Dragon: Being pushed around one too many times is listed as an example of common ways for espers to initially manifest their talents. This is how Ian first manifested his telekinesis. Chad assaulted Ian at school and ended up getting hit with a TK Push strong enough to hospitalize him. Lucky is threatened by a liquor store clerk and chased by an entire angry mob. He can start fires with his mind. Harry in Broken Things spends the bulk of the story being experimented on and tortured by Shop members who know that he's a powerful psychokinetic. See Asshole Victim to see how that works out for them.

comment
Covert Group with Mundane Front: The Shop disguises itself as the police, CIA, DEA, etc. In Tomorrow’s Starlight a Shop raid is disguised as a team of exterminators. The band Tomorrow’s Starlight and new religion Ayn Sof are fronts for The Zodiac Order. Abraxis doesn't officially exist, but its shareholders control several of the world's leading biotech interests. Eschaton hides within the Jesuits and religious Zionist movements. Aleph is fronted by several Asian corporations. The Red Orchestra is just Russian special forces on paper.

Psychic Powers
 Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution (Tabletop Game) / int_874176be

Psychic Powers: Duh. Specifically: Telekinesis is your iconic Mind over Matter power-set. Its sub-powers are Biofeedback (manipulating one's biology on a cellular level for healing, poison/disease purgation, and surviving in extreme conditions), Necrokinesis (a psychic Touch of Death based on disrupting the part of the brain controlling the heart) and Somakinesis (manipulating cellular biology and gravity for Super Strength). Pyrokinesis is based on manipulating molecular activity. Its primary use is to increase and decrease the temperature. Its subpowers are Entropy (tearing apart molecular bonds, allowing for disintegration and the generation of radioactive energies), Magnakinesis (control of electromagnetic fields to manipulate the weather) and Synchronicity (manipulation of probability). Psychokinesis is basically Telepathy justified as "adjusting neurons and brainwaves through subtle telekinesis". It sub-powers are Osmoses (draining psychic energy from living beings), Scrying (ESP) and Technokinesis (Selective Magnetism and manipulation of electronics).

The Psychometry talent can give you a perfect understanding of an event that happened in the past as thought the you were an omniscient, neutral observer, but you're more likely to get random thoughts or glimpses of what was witnessed by people who were there. It gets more likely that you'll get the omniscient perspective as you gain levels in scrying, but you're never guaranteed to get the best result.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution (Tabletop Game) / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: There are no unambiguously good guys in this universe. Whether any or all of the conspiracies could be considered unambiguously evil is a matter of perspective. The Zodiac Order are genocidal esper supremacists that want to set espers up as the new master race and do not care about how many people have to die for that to happen. Their ultimate goal is the massive depopulation and subsequent enslavement of mundane humanity. They also synthesize highly dangerous and addictive drugs that have "accidentally" been leaked into the general public. The Shop regularly kidnaps US citizens, conducts horrific experiments on normal humans and espers, and forcibly indoctrinates prisoners through torture, all in order to further their goal of global domination. Even the espers who are loyal to them are treated as permanent conscripts, and they make a point of isolating their espers from one another to prevent them from developing a shared identity. They're also not above purging any witnesses who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, though they prefer to erase civilians' memories using psychokinesis and/or amnestic drugs when possible. Abraxis also kidnaps people en masse and conducts horrific experiments on them, and they have absolutely no qualms about killing civilians, police officers, and anyone else who happens to get in their way. The company is managed by a board of directors that is completely profit driven to the point of being totally amoral, and their end goal is to reshape the course of human evolution in their own image. As if all that wasn't bad enough, the most influential of these directors is a violent and narcissistic psychopath that frequently has entire families killed for the sake of convenience or simply for amusement. The Red Orchestra is basically the psionic KGB. They want to restore Russia's status as the dominant global superpower and establish a totalitarian one world government under their control, and they will happily use torture, mind control, coercion, blackmail, political corruption, and every other dirty trick in the book to do it. Aleph is a cutthroat secret society fronted by several Asian corporations. They want to increase their economic and technological power, no matter what the cost. They're similar to Abraxis in terms of their methods and goals, though more subtle and arguably more pragmatic. Eschaton is straight up committing genocide against espers whenever they can, in the deluded belief that psionic powers are the result of demonic possession and that killing all espers is the only way to prevent the destruction and damnation of mankind. (It's worth noting that they're the only conspiracy who's beliefs are stated by the book to be objectively false.) Eschaton has also managed to convince all of its espers (all of whom are devoutly religious) that they need to kill themselves for the good of humanity once all the other espers in the world are dead.

Mind Rape: Powerful psychokinetics are capable of using Psychic Surgery to add, remove, and alter memories, alter personalities, and implant post-hypnotic triggers. Given enough time and power, you can use it to make people into your loyal slaves and look into every memory they've got. Telempathy can be used to send memories and feelings, so you could force someone to relive the negative experiences of others or their own. Even experiences they'd buried or forgotten. The Mindf*cker archetype is a bit of an expert at this. Harry does this to some poor schmuck. Made worse by the fact that they may have been there to try and free him, for all we know.

Defiant to the End: Mama Bear, twice. When she's first detained, she's openly disrespectful towards her captors, flipping a therapist off with both hands before using her telekinesis to slap him in the face with a clipboard. She does this knowing that she can't get away yet and with a full understanding that she'll be punished for it. When a woman tries to break her spirit by sympathetically telling her that her friends were killed during a rescue attempt, she snaps and horribly injures her. This also strengthens her resolve to keep resisting and it's made clear that her contempt and hostility for the Shop are just as strong, if not stronger, than in the beginning of the story.

The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: The Eternal Storm will finally allow espers to live freely and openly, but will also result in massive depopulation and espers being instated as the master race. The Zodiac Order's methods of fighting against oppression tend to fall somewhere between negligent homicide and truly outstanding acts of terrorism.

Alternate History: Psionics is set in a universe where Project MKUltra was successful, leading to the formal discovery of espers, the creation of drugs that unlock psi-potential, and the various conspiracies. (The divergence point may go back even further, since it's strongly implied that many myths, legends, and religions throughout history were actually inspired by ancient espers.)

The Friend Nobody Likes: Mama Bear is rude and short-tempered towards pretty much everyone she speaks to, lives in a drug den and keeps the Bridgewater Four on a short leash, which does very little to endear her to them. Ian, Tim, and Callie only associate with her out of proximity, necessity, and probably fear. Callie qualifies as well. Everyone except Tim is very tepid towards her, as she has a long history of being an Alpha Bitch. The nicest thing that anyone says about her is that they're glad she isn't dead.

Mega-Corp: Abraxis Biotech is a subversion. It's a secret investment group of corporate shareholders with interlocking boards of directors, and doesn't function as a corporation at all; its involvement in the psionics game is a result of a side project by its leader. Basically, the conspiracy draws on Mega-Corp tropes and aesthetics in a setting where an actual corporate entity wouldn't make any sense.

Apocalypse Cult: The Zodiac Order is a cult dedicated to ushering in an event called the Eternal Storm. The details are vague, but what's certain is that it will result in massive depopulation, after which espers will be able to rule over what's left of humanity and enslave any surviving non-psionic humans. Averted with Eschaton, which has many of the trappings of an apocalypse cult (including their name), but is actually trying to prevent the apocalypse the Zodiac Order is trying to cause.

No-Sell: Telekinetics that are Levitating are immune to being Grabbed or Pushed by other telekinetics of equal or lesser power levels. Dodging automatically succeeds against grapples, TK Grab, and Improved TK Grab. Master Heat Shield makes you immune to having your temperature altered against your will, even by other master level pyrokinetics. Psychokinesis does not work on animals, mindless creatures, or other non-human minds. Espers with a high enough level of biofeedback are immune to necrokinesis. Undying makes you immune to the necrokinetic talents of espers with a lower or equal level of necrokinesis. If you can Atomize an opponent, you are immune to someone else trying it on you.

Master of Your Domain: Biofeedback (which is one of the page's alternate titles) grants espers conscious control over their own bodies, for the purpose of healing damage, purging toxins, and surviving without food and water for much longer than a normal human when necessary. Somakinesis also applies. It grants espers that ability to consciously increase their strength and speed for short periods of time, as well as preserving muscle tissue. Somakinetics can also just decide to have their unarmed attacks deal lethal damage or add extra dice to their unarmed damage rolls if they feel like it. The book describes scrying as the act of turning your psychokinesis inwards to expand your own consciousness.

Glowing Eyes of Doom: Ian reports that Leona has these while raising Lucky's temperature, and she's depicted with them in the Firestarter image. Several images in the book depict espers having glowing eyes while using their talents.

Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: Lucky spends most of Tomorrow's Starlight being obnoxious to everyone, but sticks his neck out to push Sande off of the top of a stage to save the others, even though he's outgunned and not much of a fighter. Mama Bear is a jerk to the Bridgewater Four, but does her best to make sure that they're safe from the Shop and expresses a surprising amount of remorse, vulnerability, loyalty, and affection for members of The Zodiac Order at various points in Captured. For her, anyway.

The Paralyzer: Necrokinetics can choose to paralyze people instead of killing them. Psychokinetics can make people fall asleep or stop moving. Being hit with Improved Seize totally immobilizes the target, as long as they’re the only person grabbed. An esper that's hit with Brain Drain is only capable of moving if they succeed a hard will check.

Genius Bruiser: The amount of psionic talents you start with is based on your wits score. Additionally, an esper of average intelligence would be considered just shy of being a genius by the standards of normal humans. Tony, whose picture is used to demonstrate the Bruiser archetype, is extremely intelligent and physically powerful.

Badass Bookworm: Starting talent levels are based off of your Wits score, so a smart esper is a powerful esper. Peregrine in New World Water is highly intelligent, a competitive swimmer and an esper. The Prism archetype also qualifies, as it's specified that he's a former med student, in addition to having psionic powers. Somakinetics are the king of this, as the number of psi powers one gets are based on one's wits score... and more levels in somakinesis translate directly into higher physical stats.

Telepathy: Even the weakest psychokinetics are capable of using Telepathy. Read Surface Thoughts and Read Memories allows you to do exactly what you'd expect. Tim uses this on Callie to figure out how to make her like him. Lucky uses this on a liquor store clerk to screw with his head. Telemphathy allows you to share thoughts, feelings, images, and memories telepathically.

Cassandra Truth: The US government has found a way to release psionic powers in some individuals and now there's a massive, worldwide shadow war between several factions that want to exploit them to their own ends. Also, the media, which is constantly being monitored for signs of psionic activity, is completely controlled by some of these conspiracies and they're experimenting on the general population with prenatal tampering and releasing strange chemicals into the water. You try getting your average person to believe that. Ian and his friend, Chance, put up a youtube video of them using their telekinesis. It gets very few views and no one thinks it's real, aside from The Shop.

 Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution (Tabletop Game) / int_cf9b131f
comment
Muscles Are Meaningless: Even if an esper and a human have the exact same physique, the esper can still be markedly stronger than they are, because espers have a higher stat cap. Naturally, this goes double for somakinetics, since their powers come from gravity manipulation. Additionally, because not everyone has a body type that will bulk up with exercise, they can be relatively small and super-humanly strong. There's a picture in the book of Rose (who is both quite muscular AND a somakinetic) winning an arm wresting match against a man twice her size. There's also a picture of an out-of-shape looking man lifting a car above his head.

Delinquent Hair: Members of The Zodiac Order often have this. Take a third of a shot every time you see an example in the book's artwork or short stories because taking a full shot will probably kill you. Mama Bear has green hair. Chris Riven had dreadlocks. Leo has a mohawk.

comment
Unusual Euphemism: The proper names for P.P.I.C.s are character strings and the drugs themselves aren't supposed to exist, so they're referred to as Speak No Evil (blocks telekinesis), See No Evil (blocks pyrokinesis), and Hear No Evil (blocks psychokinesis). I10013, a drug that blocks all psitalents, can makes espers lose talent levels, and causes excruciating pain for between 2 and 12 hours is more commonly called "Abyss". Overloading, an event that can horrifically kill an esper and everyone around them, has the cutesy nickname "popping". In keeping with their sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll theme, members of The Zodiac Order refer to their missions as gigs.

Barrier Warrior: Telekinetics of level 3 and higher can raise their defense by using TK Barrier and Improved TK Barrier. These talents can deflect any physical attack, if it raises your defense sufficiently. Gust Shield allows a magnekinetic to create gusts of wind that function like TK Barrier, as long as the overall wind speed is at least 20 mph. Improved Gust Shield mimics the effects of Improved TK Barrier, but overall wind speed has to be at least 60 mph.

Action Girl: The Pusher archetype is depicted firing an automatic weapon while using psychokinesis in the middle of a firefight. The Scream in Tomorrow’s Starlight is a necrokinetic martial artist that mixes both skill sets. She charges head on into hand to hand combat with Shop agents, despite being seemingly outgunned and at a physical disadvantage, and is highly capable with her telekinesis.

Overloading telekinetics will involuntarily rip apart anyone and anything too close to them. Sufficiently powerful telekinetics can also rip people and objects apart voluntarily.

Drugs Are Bad: Becoming addicted to a drug or overdosing has nasty (and potentially fatal) side effects. Recreational drugs make you gain overflow and take stat penalties. P.P.E.C.s unlock psipotential, but they pose a risk of overloading or killing the user. P.P.I.C.s suppress psionic talents and inflict nasty side effects on the user. Abyss suppresses all psionic talents, has very negative side effects, carries the risk of permanently damaging the victim's psionic powers, and markedly increases the risk of developing brain cancer. Extreme pleasure under the influence of drugs risks Superpower Meltdown.

Your Head A-Splode: If an esper’s remaining power points are completely drained by Brain Drain, this happens to them. Overloading psychokinetics do this to others and, if they’re killed by the overload, themselves. If a cybernetic implant shorts or explodes, this will likely happen. With the right technique, you can also accomplish this with guns. A somakinetic is depicted kicking a guy's head apart in the book.

Psychic Block Defense: It's not easy, but it is possible to block a psychokinetic from reading your thoughts if you succeed the proper check and are aware of what they're trying to do. At level two, psychokinetics become immune to the talents of psychokinetics that are a lower level, with the exception of Psychic Scream. Espers can attempt to resist being Pushed and all humans can attempt to resist being Dominated.

11th-Hour Superpower: In addition to overflow, it is possible, if rare, for intense negative emotions to grant an esper a large amount of caps, which can result in a new level of psitalents being unlocked, temporarily or permanently, and a number of powerpoints being automatically restored.

She snaps and mangles the agent in question. Details are left out but she notes that the agent isn't pretty anymore and may not ever walk again. She doesn't even know what she did or how she did it. Harry in Broken Things. Kept in a position similar to Rose's, although seemingly even crueler, he eventually gains enough power to overcome his captors and goes on a rampage throughout the facility. When his rescuers show up, they find him killing the nurses and doctors that tortured him. Ian TK Pushes Chad after being assaulted by him and his bully friends, yet again.

Drugs Are Good: Caffeine restores power points. Alcohol removes overflow and damage from drain. Weed restores power points and removes overflow. Narcotic stimulants restore power points and give the user a temporary strength bonus. Non-narcotic stimulants restore power points and give the user a temporary bonus to wits and speed. Opiates remove overflow and allow the user to ignore the stat penalties of being wounded. Entactogens gradually restore power points and reduce overflow. Hallucinogens give you and an extra C.A.P. whenever you use a talent and you can't get addicted to them. The Zodiac Order also has this outlook on drugs in general. Breaks in the book’s text often have little pictures of pills in them. In addition to unlocking psipotential, P.P.E.C.s also improve an awakened esper's affinity with psionic talents.

Telekinesis is your iconic Mind over Matter power-set. Its sub-powers are Biofeedback (manipulating one's biology on a cellular level for healing, poison/disease purgation, and surviving in extreme conditions), Necrokinesis (a psychic Touch of Death based on disrupting the part of the brain controlling the heart) and Somakinesis (manipulating cellular biology and gravity for Super Strength).

Wreathed in Flames: Pyrokinetics can manifest fire on their body and are resistant to heat damage, so they can choose to invoke this trope. The Melt Aura ability allows pyrokinetics to melt incoming firearm projectiles by manifesting intense blasts of fire around the user. During an overload, a pyrokinetic will be at the center of a massive fireball. This happens to Patrick a lot in Broken Things but he's a pyrokinetic, so that's really more of a problem for everyone else.

Love Makes You Dumb: In Tomorrow’s Starlight Tim uses psychokinesis to get a Green from Mama Bear, which he gives to Callie. Keep in mind, he doesn’t know about the drug’s potential side effects, doesn’t bother to check to see if there are any, and doesn’t take the hint that if Mama Bear, a drug dealer, won’t part with it without the use of powerful psychokinetic talents then maybe it’s kind of a dangerous drug. Earlier in the story, Tim uses his powers to make The Zodiac Order abduct Callie with the rest of them, even though she herself was not in danger. Leona calls him out on this.

Higher Understanding Through Drugs: A select few of the normal humans with psypotential gain access to their talents through P.P.E.C.s. An esper that doesn’t have any natural ability for a talent tree can gain access to it by taking the appropriate P.P.E.C. They can also increase a character’s affinity for an existing talent tree.

Malicious Slander: This tends to happen to espers who turn down or resist a recruitment offer. Did you refuse an offer from The Shop and manage to escape from their agents? In the process, did some of their stray bullets hit passers-by? Now your face, name, and whereabouts are plastered all over the news and you’re wanted by the FBI in connection with a terrorist attack. Every conspiracy will maliciously slander espers from other conspiracies. Eschaton paints all espers as demon-possessed abominations. Their own espers are no exception.

Cyberpunk: Not as prominent as the biopunk elements, but they're there. Cybernetic implants, while restricted to high ranking Shop officials, exist in game and grant a wide variety of bonuses at the expense of the recipient's will. Technokinetics can directly interface with technology via psionic powers. The population is ruled in secret by government conspiracies with highly advanced technology.
