Abilities
Powers
Pyrokinetics
Mental Barrage has a unique ability of pyrokinesis, the ability to control temperature with her mind, in this case to such degrees as to cause objects to burst into flames. This ability even extends beyond to actually hurling balls of flame at adversaries, and in some documented cases, she is able to channel this temperature and fire control into her other powers and capabilities making them even more devastating.
- Incineration: With but a touch, Mental Barrage is capable of ingniting combustable, and sometimes non-combustable material causing it to burn fast and quickly. She has even been seen setting the Council Mek Men on fire, the intense heat of the attack frying their inner delicate circuitry.
- Flame Projection: Super heating the air around, she is also capable of creating short term fireballs of varying intensity that she can hurl at other's with leathal accuracy. The fire from these attacks can be quite intense and painful.
- Fiery Embrace: Through some extreme concentration, Mental Barrage is capable of absorbing the surrounding heat in the area and channel it into her attacks, thus significantly increasing the damage output she delivers through them.
Telekinesis
Mental Barrage's telekinetic prowess seems to be almost without limit. She is capable of using it ot pull objects to her, or in her usual circusmtances propel targets away from her. Her favored tactic seems to be to launch victims in the air crushing them up against a cieling or other structure and let them come crashing down back to the ground.
Psionic Control
She has limited psionic power and control within her. She is capable of reading surface thoughts, but since she despises that noise, she spends most of her time trying to just tune it out. If pressed, she could probably rip the thoughts out of someone's head, though such an action would be exceptionally painful to the recipient in the process. She is also able to plant powerful suggestions in the minds of others if she chooses, putting them in an utter state of confusion.
- Psionic Suggestion: With her power of telepathy, she is able to also plant powerful suggestions in the minds of others that can cause them to attack or even leave them bewildered and confused.
- Mind Blast: An assault that is so devasating it often leaves victims able to do nothing but hold their heads in pain.
- Telepathy: Though she rarely utilizes it, Mental Barrage is capable of some forms of limited telepathy.
Body Manipulation
Mental Barrages ability to not only control the mind but also extends to controlling her own body as well, capable of pushing it well past the limitations of normal human beings, making her more physically fit than normal, as well as being able to push herself into being able to perform feats that normal humans would find extraordinary, such as leaping, speed and a few other techniques.
- Physically Fit: Life as a wanderer has made Mental Barrage more physically fit than most, capable of going the extra distance when others would be well past exhausted.
- Acrobatic: Gypsy legends often pertain to gypsies being adept at acrobatics and the like, though whether this is an inherrant trait or something Mental Barrage learned on her own is unknown. Most likely it is the result of her psychokinetic training she endured herself to.
- Great Strides: Though the technique is mysterious, Mental Barrage is somehow able to manipulate her body in such ways as to allow her to make greater than normal leaps for a human being.
- Fast: Through some effort of mind, she is also able to push herself to move faster than normal.
Stealthy
Through her life on the street, Mental Barrage has learned to be stealthy, which has also aided her cleptomania as it were on many occassions. Though not perfect, she is quite capable of blending in with a crowd and her surroundings as need be.
Bio-Electric Manipulation
Able to manipulate the bio-electric energy on a cellular level, Mental Barrage presents an enigma as far as psychokinetic individuals go. She is able to steal other's bio-electric energy to replenish her own, put up a standing barrier that protects her a little, as well as hurl a ball of explosive bio-electricity.
Mental Sight
Weakness
Mental Barrage is blind, thus her other senses are a bit more finely tuned than normal people. She also possesses powerful psionic sense, that let's her see, in a sense, along with her other 4 accute senses. However, this sight, as it were, can be disrupted through psionic means, sort of like a psychic shockwave or other such things. Areas devoid of psionic activity also more or less leave Mental left to using her other 4 senses to try and get around. Essentially she would be totally blind.
She is also a cleptomaniac at times, though it's not as pronounced as it use to be, since she lost her ability to see. However, if the psychic aura around an object intrigues her, she sometimes finds herself incapable of putting it down, and attempts almost any method possible to obtain and maintain the object.
