Biokinesis

From Activating Evolution

(Redirected from Optikinesis)

Biokinesis, also called Somatokinesis, Genetokinesis (when that faculty is used) or Genetic/DNA/Bodily Manipulation is the mental ability to alter the flow of life-force energy within a subject, even to the point of changing DNA structure and body functions. The user can manipulate skin color, height, weight, facial features, and the like (even to the point of healing and/or regenerating, possibly inducing disease or shifting from the appearance of one species to another). The use of nearly any physical ability can be derived from the application of Biokinesis.

Note: Shapeshifting with this ability may be restricted to forms of the same mass (if so, one couldn’t use it become the size of a mouse or an elephant).

Note: This ability does not imply absorption of life-force (that is Life-Force Absorption)

[edit] Variations:

Arthrokinesis

• Arthrokinesis or Tendon/Joint Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate the functions of the joints and (sometimes) tendons, either in one's own body, or in the body of others. This ability could be used to increase/decrease flexibility in the bodies of others. This ability could even reduce joint strength in extremities, and control the contractions and movements of such, similar to Bodily Possession. Used offensively, it could be used to contort foes into strange and uncomfortable positions, or induce arthritis (or crepitus), spasms, neck aches/backaches and other joint-and-tendon based difficulties (even tendonitis or bursitis).

*Cardiokinesis

• Cardiokinesis or Heart/Cardiac Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate the fine movements and functions of the cardiovascular system, either in one's own body, or in the body of another. This ability could be used to increase or decrease blood pressure, reduce anaerobic fatigue in muscles, and manipulate the speed at which blood is pumped through the body, similar to Hemokinesis. Used offensively, it could even induce aneurysms (or heart arrhythmia), angina, subdural bruising or other cardiovascular difficulties (even heart attacks or cardiac arrest).

Chaetokinesis

• Chaetokinesis, also called Trichokinesis, Comakinesis or Hair Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate hair. One with this ability can animate his hair as well as others’ hair. They could also control the growth, length, texture, width and strength of any desired creature’s they come into contact with (perhaps also making one’s hairs stiff, so they are sensitive to vibrations in the air, or even styling one’s hair at will). While the user would be unable to cause hair to grow on a naturally hairless animal, he would be able to cause hair to fall off a creature that normally has hair.

Dermakinesis

• Dermakinesis, also called Creakinesis, Sarcokinesis or Flesh/Skin Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate skin. One with this power can augment his skin and the skin of others to nearly any texture. This can be used to make one's skin extremely resistant to concussive force, or very sharp, or very abrasive. He can even re-grow skin almost instantly after an injury, change his skin pigment (as a limited form of camouflage), or perhaps control the entire endocrine system, allowing the user to induce/suppress sweating, cause acne, alter the healing of flesh wounds and the like (called Endocrine Control or Endocrine System Manipulation).

Gastrokinesis

• Gastrokinesis, also called Gastric/Gastrointestinal/Digestive Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate the functions of one’s own digestive system, or that of another. This ability could increase digestion efficiency in one's own body or the bodies of others. This ability could even manipulate the body's response to food, thus preventing digestion of unhealthy foods, or the metabolizing of poisons. Used offensively, it could even induce constipation (or diarrhea), peptic ulcers, vomiting or other gastrointestinal difficulties/afflictions (even to the point of starvation, if the digestive tract is manipulated to reject all food).

*Hemokinesis

• Hemokinesis, also called Haemokinesis/Hematokinesis or Sanguine/Blood Manipulation is the ability to mentally control blood. The user can coagulate blood (healing flesh wounds), snatch blood from a subject’s wounds, or control it within a subject, to control the subject’s motions, body temperature and heart rate (by speeding/slowing blood flow). This even includes the power to stop blood flow (called Blood Stopping or Bloodstopping), taint blood (inducing septicemia), or to make oxygenated blood release oxygen within foes’ wounds, igniting the electrolytes within the blood and effectively burning foes from the inside out (called Blood Burning) or the like.

Hormokinesis

• Hormokinesis, also called Hormone Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate one’s own hormones as well as the hormones of others. With this ability, one could release hormones that do everything from inducing changes similar to those undergone in puberty (acne, rapid or impeded growth, psychological imbalance) to increasing body temperature, inducing slight emotion changes (mood swings) or inducing bodily dysfunction in subjects, by causing fluxes in hormone development. The user could even increase/decrease sexual fertility in subjects.

Lipokinesis

• Lipokinesis, also called Steatokinesis or Fatty Tissue/Fat Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate fat and fatty tissue. One with this ability could generate or reduce bodily fat deposits in oneself and other subjects. The user could even cause a normally quicker opponent to be slowed down by excessive weight (or cause a normally-slower ally to speed up by reducing the fat in their body); changing the amount of fat in the body also changes their stamina (and shifting it around in the body is useful in the place of the abilities Shapeshifting and/or Appearance Alteration).

Myokinesis

• Myokinesis or Muscular/Muscle Manipulation is the ability to psychically alter muscular structure. This can be used to hypertroph the muscles to proportions which induce superstrength, to induce motor exaggeration on foes (an attempt to scratch an itch would make foes injure themselves, and the like) or decrease the muscle structure of others, so that they are nearly helpless against attacks. It could strengthen/weaken the muscular structure and endurance of any subject. It could even be used to manipulate the amount of stamina a biotic foe has by changing the amount of lactic acid the muscles generate (called Stamina Manipulation).

*Neurokinesis

• Neurokinesis or Neural/Nervous System Manipulation is the ability to mentally assume control over the nervous system, and thus the sensations felt. The user could psychically cause subjects to feel temperature changes, or feel intense pain (or pleasure), or determine if a subject feels any sensation at all. They could even make subjects' bodies do any action within their power (even to the point of using any superhuman abilities the subject might have), even while they try to resist. This would allow motor control on par with a superhuman capable of Bodily Possession.

Optikinesis

• Optikinesis, also called Ophthalmokinesis or Optic/Visual/Eyesight Manipulation is the psychic ability to control eyesight. One with this ability can cause illusions by changing what people see, cause themselves/others to see in different aspects, or change optic temporality so their sight is behind actual time, ahead of actual time, etc. Vision can also be distorted so things appear to be moving opposite their actual direction (this faculty is called the Parallax Effect). The user may even be able to control the eye itself, with practice, as he can control the entirety of motor and/or sensory functions of subjects’ (and/or one’s own) eyes.

Osteokinesis

• Osteokinesis, also called Osseokinesis, Ossiokinesis or Skeletal/Bone Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate bones. This can be used to change the density of bones, from hollowing bones like a bird, to making them as unbreakable as steel. A person with this ability can also make his bones more flexible and less prone to breakage (or drastically accelerate the process of bone healing). The user can also cause bones to grow through the skin to form plates of bone as armor. After practice, the user of this power can even incapacitate foes with broken legs, arms, ribs or even necks. One with this ability usually has somewhat-pliable skin.

Pherokinesis

• Pherokinesis, also called Pheromone Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate one's own pheromones as well as the pheromones of others for one's own purposes. With this ability, one could release pheromones that do everything from inducing attraction between subjects (or within a subject for oneself), to exuding amounts of pheromones strong enough to induce sleep, change emotions and draw crowds. These pheromones can even be used to mark territory (causing people to feel the compulsion to not go into a certain area), or to leave a pheromone path which others can follow in order to find you.

*Phonokinesis

• Phonokinesis, also called Language/Voice/Vocal Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate the vocal organs of biotic systems, including the language center of the brain. One with this ability could translate the foreign languages of subjects into the language of the user or whatever language the user desires. The user could change the volume of the subject’s voice, or render a foe mute. The user, after an extremely long time’s worth of practice, could even control how/when a subject speaks and the languages the subject understands.

Pneumakinesis

• Pneumakinesis, also called Pulmokinesis or Pulmonary/Respiration/Respiratory/Lung Manipulation is the ability to psychically manipulate one’s own breathing and respired gases, as well as those of others. The user of this superhuman ability can access the abilities Vortex Inhalation, Gale Exhalation, Atmospheric Respiration, and greatly increase the time that he can hold his breath. One with this ability can even remove or overload respired gases, so as to suffocate foes or explode their lungs.
