Though ill-understood for a long time, one of the effects from
The Awakening was the creation of a unique form of radiation that would come to be called K-Rads. Exposure to it would cause individuals to develop super powers, and it did not seem to discriminate as anyone from a child to the elderly could spontaneously develop supernatural abilities. These abilities seemed to be tied to one's genetic make-up once developed, as quite often powered individuals that had children would pass their abilities down.
After much research by various scientists, a method to replicate and even counteract powers was found. However, such methods are carefully guarded secrets by those who possess them, with the only truly known thing about it being that a massive energy source is required to manipulate some part of a person's genetics.
Psychic Powers
There are those who can wield their mutant powers via mental projection and psychic manipulation. These are people or beings who can use abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinesis, electricity manipulation, astral projection, clairvoyance and so on that can all be manipulated with the power of the mind.
Among these Psychic users are those who can project their mental powers into a solid cloud of energy that can take a physical form. These manifestations are known as Expands - expansion of the user's psychic ability - and consists of complex powers that can interact with the physical world. As each Expand is unique to the user in reflection of their personality, they possess many shapes and forms to the point where they could disguise themselves as regular objects, items, or even mimic people. Any damage dealt to the physical manifestation is automatically transferred to the user, the only exception would be certain Expand powers that act remotely or independently. As the Expand is the physical manifestation of the user itself, if the Expand is killed the user most likely will die with them. Regardless of shape, Expands can be identified by their unique energy aura whenever they actively use their powers.
