Question for you all. Would you consider "Psionic Manipulation" a plausible ability to have, or is that too far outside of the spectrum of believability/too broad a subject? I've had a character on my mind for ages that posseses several (not all) of the abilities that fall under that category, but I've found nowhere to put him. You can read more about Psionic Manipulation if you google it and click the first link if you are not sure exactly what it entails.
Hmmm, well, first off - thank you for asking! :’) It warms the cockles of my heart that you are conscientious enough to ask. Seriously. Imagine your doorbell just rang and a marvelous fruit basket was just delivered to you from me. <3
Now, then: What you actually asked, I can’t quite answer. :) You already acknowledged the single proviso I would have given you (realism), and you have to answer that for me, and you, and everyone. ;) Only you know if you can make your fellow and his ability make sense and be believable. Show us, and make us believe you! :D
If it helps, remember to give him (a) downside(s) equal to every advantage you grant him, and keep in mind that you will need permission from every writer/character he intends to influence/affect before you may have him do so. You cover those things, and I am all for whatever you have in mind and whatever you want to do!!
;D
Oh, and be careful with how “several” abilities you string together. As long as they all logically follow, you’re good.
You may want to reference this post outlining alpha abilities to see if you’re OK with what we have in mind with Omega.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with, and I hope to see you and your character on opening day! :D
P.S.: If you want some one-on-one help hashing out logistics or anything “sciencey”, or if you want to run him by me in detail and use me as a sounding board, or just get some advice, or just whatever, send me another ask, but off anon, and I’ll give you my AIM and we can chat! :) I'm kind of super addicted to science and I love nothing more than talking character-shop with fellow writers. :D Especially about Omega characters. 8D
