String Theory:
Garreth’s body acts as a physical medium for his abilities, allowing him to release mental energy in a tangible state. The first form creates strings with a diameter of ½ an inch made from pure energy between two points instantaneously, and has many uses thereafter. At his current level, Garreth can either create the strings between two points of his body or on one point of his body and one on another mass within his sight by firing off the end of the string at roughly twice the speed of a pro-baseball player’s pitch, bringing upwards of a whopping 180 miles per hour.. After creation, he can transfer any ‘point’ on his body to another place through contact with his skin, or fire it off as aforementioned.

One of the first applications was to create a string between his hands as a sort of partial-shield, typically used to defend himself against close range attacks. If he was to block a downwards strike, one string between either palm would be created. If he was to block a punch or something of similar motion, Garreth would form a string between the bases of the fingers on either hand, thereby creating a ‘cat’s cradle’.

After the strings have been created, Gar can either retract the string into what he refers to as the ‘PoM’, or ‘Point of manifestation’ with several tons of force or create slack. This has given him a very awkward, although efficient means to attack an opponent. For example: if Garreth connects a punch against the opponent’s bare skin, a string will be created between both points. Shortly afterwards, PoM on Garreth’s body would be retracted and the opponent would be struck a second time with a devastating speed. Alternatively, he could also create slack between the strings and attach the PoM to a wall, then send the opponent off balance by retracting the string.

One should realize that strings are quite versatile, and have many uses both in and out of combat.

Other notes:
  • The strings, being a manifestation of his mind, reflect his emotions in their color in a manner very much akin to a mood ring.
  • The strings are virtually invulnerable to regular forces and materials, but can be cut with other applications of psionic energy or items imbued with it.


Telepathy:
So long as Garreth is in direct physical contact with the person in question, he is able to read his/her mind. Loss of physical contact will enable him to continue this for about 30 seconds afterwards before he must touch them again. As is, his telepathy is limited only to mind-reading, with other abilities to come as this power develops.
