Ability: Synergist Description: Aiko has the ability to act as a conduit between energy sources, channeling energy from a source to a sink. For example, she can take electrical energy, transform it, and send it to a region with less ambient energy. This process is surprisingly easy for her to perform, since the energy travels through her and does not stay in her. In essence, she is an extension cord/transformer, not a battery. Because she cannot store this energy, the effects of transferring energy are short lived once she has terminated the exchange. Her ability can be used to temporarily reduce fatique in others, giving them the energy needed to perform tasks or use their powers. Starting Powers: At first Aiko is limited to just being a conduit to help others use their abilities after they have become too tired to otherwise use them. She gets the most energy out of coming into contact with an energy source (such as touching a computer or appliance), and then focusing on who she wants to send the energy to. The recipient will feel a boost of energy, similar to a caffeine high, and is able to function normally despite being physically or mentally exhausted. Powers in Development: Aiko will soon learn that her ability has an interesting side effect. Since she can channel energy, she can receive as easily as give. As a result of monitoring energy intake of sinks (such as people), Aiko subconsciously creates a feedback loop in which she is actually receiving energy as well as sending it to the person in question. Because of this feedback loop, she can actually mimic the energy signature of a person who is using their abilities and copy them. However, this process is tiring to both people, since the feedback loop closes and shuts off external inputs of energy. In other words, when Aiko is using another person's abilities, she becomes the energy sink (ie. energy flows into her), while the other person becomes the energy source. However, the presence of the loop and the inability for Aiko to store energy creates a situation where the two people are essentially feeding off the energy of the other, and this tires both of them out. At first, Aiko can only send energy as the person needs it. For example, consider that Aiko is holding a slushie (energy) and a person is drinking it with a straw (recipient). While Aiko is still learning about her abilities, all she can do is let the person drink the slushy as fast or as slow as they want. Later she'll actually learn that she can speed up the process by squeezing the cup and forcing the slushy up the straw into the person's mouth. This can be dangerous though, because if she forces the slushy up the straw too fast the person could choke or spit out slushy everywhere. In the context of someone using their powers, this could kill them or cause their powers to react in dangerous, unpredictable ways as their bodies are struggling to get rid of the excess energy. It is far easier for her to send more energy that is needed than sending less, so it would be difficult for her to reverse the process if she sent too much. Her most powerful ability is still under development, but has to do with the third definition of synergy. Emergent behavior is when otherwise simple systems create fantastic and unbelievable results. For example, a termite colony in itself seems small and ordinary, yet they create these massive towers. Aiko will be able to recognize these unique patterns and connections between seemingly simple things, then manipulate them to create an amazing result. This ability borders on chaos theory, which is the belief that the smallest action can have a very large reaction through time and under the right circumstances. In essence, Aiko can control cascade effects. |
