FAQ!
Psionic abilities - telepathy
Gabriel is:
- telepathically sensitive, which means if a telepath is projecting thoughts, feelings, sensations, etc. he will be able to pick it up easier and more intensely.
- able to project himself mentally and physically anywhere he has been previously in his physical form. this projection, or 'golem', is made of pure telekinetic energy and is connected to his own mind. He can make himself invisible or incorporeal (able to move through solid objects). he is able to manipulate this projection in a limited way to shapeshift and appear with another's face, body, voice, etc. he rarely does this, as it takes an enormous amount of concentration and burns a great deal of energy. Projecting also leaves his physical body vulnerable.
- able to defend himself mentally, as he has some outside help. no, I won't tell you what that is unless it is absolutely necessary. it is a SEKRIT. shhh.
- Gabriel has VERY STRONG mental shields. Time Lords and VERY powerful telepaths will likely be able to get through, but most anyone else isn't getting in. He has a very low level of telepathic ability himself, although he is a very high level telekinetic.
Gabriel is not:
- able to read minds. AT ALL.
- able to contact others via telepathic communication. (unless of course, the other party is a telepath and they are able to pick up thoughts… yeah you get the idea.)
- able to harm anyone telepathically. this does not mean a telepathic attack would not be eventually met with resistance, it simply means there might be something on the other end of the line than Gabriel himself. if that's too vague, ask. :D
- able to project for an extended length of time. with proper preparation, he can do so for two or three days max, but he's never tested it longer than three days (and does not plan to push it that far again, thank you). the more time passes out-of-body, the more difficult it is to return to his body.
Psionic abilities - telekinesis
Gabriel is:
- a very powerful telekinetic. he can lift a city bus, but that's as far as he's tried (or had) to push. he has very, very fine control and can do small, complicated tasks such as unlocking various mechanisms and manipulating the function of internal organs. he can generate a very close-range telekinetic shield that will stop physical and lesser mental attacks to a degree. He can also spread this shield to include two or three other people, although the integrity would be compromised.
- on a regimen of medications that control and supplement his metabolism. when he uses his telekinesis, he burns much more energy than a baseline human. if not controlled, it can (and has, in the past) cause damage to the vascular and neurological systems. he has been known to use glucose injections to fuel his abilities over long periods, so that he can mantain high power levels. this is oft-times useful for projecting over long periods.
Gabriel is not:
- able to move buildings, large tracts of land, continents or planets. he flat refuses to help anyone move except Lan.
- invincible.
