Kinetic Abilities

From Activating Evolution

(Redirected from Kinetic Redirection)

Kinetic Abilities are abilities which are based on kinetic energy, and induce, deflect or otherwise affect motion or kinetic energy. This may include the generation of intense kinetic energy, changing its direction or grounding it within an area entirely. These faculties may include:

• Kinetic Absorption- the ability to absorb the kinetic energy out of any impact; this can be used to slow down opponents, or absorb kinetic energy and slow down a fall that would otherwise kill you. One with this power could even lessen the blow of any object hurled at him and withstand the force of any blow, as it would provide no force after the kinetic energy has been taken from it. Sometimes that absorbed energy can even be sent back at the foe (called Kinetic Backlash) or converted into strength or sustenance (called Kinetic Conversion). This ability is almost always accompanied by Superhuman Endurance.

• Kinetic Acceleration/Deceleration- the ability to accelerate and or decelerate the speed of an object or a subject; One with this ability could speed up an object's motion or slow it down by pure will. However, the only downside is that an object cannot be set into motion by this ability, only sped up or slowed down if it is motion prior to use of the ability. Not to mention, things of greater weight or moving faster would be harder to accelerate or decelerate than things that are lighter in weight or moving slower.

• Kinetic Activation, also called Kinetic Channeling- the ability to imbue objects with kinetic energy to set them into motion, regardless of whether living, inanimate or mechanical. One with this ability can cause rocks to start rolling or cause people to start moving, even if they don’t want to. This ability does not allow the user to control the motion, unless accompanied by Kinetic Redirection (which is common), although it may allow control over the speed of the motion (called Kinetic Boosting/Suppression).

• Kinetic Blasts, also called Kinetic Rays or Kinetic Beams- generation and emission of beams or rays of intense and concussive kinetic energy

• Kinetic Bolts- generation of powerful bolts of kinetic energy, which fire from the hands and eyes as though firing from a gun and set objects into (usually erratic) motion or damage objects

• Kinetic Concentration, also called Kinetic Focus- concentration of the user’s kinetic energy into one bout of extreme strength or extreme speed

• Kinetic Mimicry- mimicry of a subject’s kinetic energy; allows the user to imitate the power, speed and strength behind any subject or moving object

• Kinetic Negation or Kinetic Suppression- the ability to psychically keep any subject from moving by deactivating kinetic energy and converting it into potential energy; This can be used to prevent movement, stop anything that is currently moving, or even suspend something in its place by keeping it from moving forward, backward, side-to-side or up and down.

• Kinetic Nova- emanation of kinetic energy from all parts of the body, which sets all things in the immediate proximity into motion or explodes them with concussive force; this ability temporarily paralyzes the user, but may force anything within his proximity to go flying back forcefully

• Kinetic Redirection- the ability to psychically change the path of an object in motion; this ability can only affect an object in motion, and will be utterly useless otherwise. However, there are also some other restrictions. Some people with the ability have difficulty based on mass and can move lighter objects with ease, while other people have difficulty based on speed and can more easily move somewhat slower moving objects.

• Kinetic Scanning- the ability to scan the power, speed or momentum behind any moving object; can be used to also determine the direction a projectile came from

• Kinetic Shielding- generation of a shield of kinetic energy; this shield either absorbs the kinetic energy, negates it, redirects it or redoubles the kinetic energy and sends it back to the foe

• Kinetic Wave- the ability to send out a powerful wave of kinetic energy which jolts, shakes or fells any object or living subject within one’s vicinity; can be used to keep foes from getting their footing, toppling small-enough structures or making a slight tremor in the ground

Kinetic Energy can be manipulated in most any way, because it is a source of movement, fuel and power. Other types of uses can be found for energy, but they most likely fall under at least one of the above categories of energy uses. Some of these abilities can even be done with kinetic energy’s opposite number, potential energy (Potential Energy Shielding or Potential Energy Activation, and the like).
