	Psionics are a recent development '''(as in they first came to be publicly on August 18th, 2650)''' from Soteria research that has pushed the boundaries of what the human, alien, and abhuman mind is capable of. This expansion of the power is done through a process that grows a muscle-like brain in the head that contains the power and abilities a psion may use. However, this is not without its drawbacks. While the ability to manipulate objects, project your mind, or create kinetic objects may seem like a straight boon, the act of being a psion does strain the body. ~~A psion~~'s ~~body takes more damage from all sources~~ (~~about~~ 20~~% more~~) and requires a very slight increase in food intake. Equally, some psionic powers may have draw backs, due to how the effect changes the flesh in a way that is direct and in some ways clumsy.		Psionics are a recent development '''(as in they first came to be publicly on August 18th, 2650)''' from Soteria research that has pushed the boundaries of what the human, alien, and abhuman mind is capable of. This expansion of the power is done through a process that grows a muscle-like brain in the head that contains the power and abilities a psion may use. However, this is not without its drawbacks. While the ability to manipulate objects, project your mind, or create kinetic objects may seem like a straight boon, the act of being a psion does strain the body. The process of cultivating a psionic organ takes about a fifth of the average body's vitality (20 max HP) and requires a very slight increase in food intake. Equally, some psionic powers may have draw backs, due to how the effect changes the flesh in a way that is direct and in some ways clumsy.

	Yet, despite this, psionics are extremely powerful, more so depending on the physical or mental abilities of the psion. Some psionic abilities rely on the physical robustness or toughness of the user, while others go in line with innate skills such as biology or mechanical depending on the application of its effects. Psionic powers contain equal parts utility and offensive ability. For a detailed list, read further below. Becoming a psion requires visiting Soteria between shifts (or having a psion capable of it making you one) while removing your psionic abilities is but one surgical procedure away to remove the enhanced organ. Beware, your body remains weakened even if the organ is removed.		Yet, despite this, psionics are extremely powerful, more so depending on the physical or mental abilities of the psion.
