Changes: Technology Manipulation

Revision as of 21:03, 24 June 2011

The power to communicate with and manipulate technology. Also known as Technological Manipulation, Technokinesis, or Technopathy.

Capability

The ability to manipulate technology. Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows for mental interface with computer data. Users can control the flow of intricate machinery and can allow them to assemble or disengage their programing at the call of the user's will. Can operate most technology just by touching or looking. A variation on Electric Manipulation the user controls specific electricity molecules and instructs them which items to engage or disengage. Some users may even be able to use the electric impulses to gently control smaller metal parts.

Limitations

Can’t control purely mechanical objects which possess no electronic components, like steam engines.
Usually require close proximity to object being manipulated.
Left powerless away from modern society; a Plant Manipulator could easily remove their power.

Personality

Oftentimes, Technopaths are reclusive, and prefer isolation, as opposed to the raucous of the public sight. They need time to themselves to think, tinker, and experiment, and plenty of it. Typically, Technopaths have a hard time understanding the human psyche, due to its various examples that are anything but cut-and-dry circuit board layouts. For this reason, they find it very difficult to deal with most people, unless they are dealing with the like-minded techno-geeks.

Application

Control electronic/digital/cybernetic objects.
Control electronic machinery.
Trigger computers/appliances or anything with an attachable cord or inserted batteries.
Repair glitches in technology.
Boost a machines capacity or speed
Levitate machine parts in a telekinetic manner
If mixed with Body Part Substitution or Cephalophore, users use control eletronic objects as if they were their own body part.
Creating gadgets and attachments.
