nityI'll journey through that great beyond,
Whose billion eyes shimmer so wisely,
For in that great dark shroud ahead
Shine secrets of the immortal.

For in that great dark shroud ahead
Shine secrets of the immortal.

To those interested, please write a summary of your species, character, and psionic capabilities. I'll be going through and helping where I can. ♥

This universe is a bleak and haunting place, though its black depths possess a paradoxical beauty which is fundamental to the theology of countless civilizations. The twilight charm and intensity of the cosmos is as enduring as the boundaries of space-time, and while it is telling that all things ultimately come together by the will of gravity, they are yet eternally distant.
There exists a monomyth, however — a tale that worms its way into every culture one way or another — something which some might call the origin, as were the universe only the afterthought of a very ambitious point. So many have sought it that the legend is held to be fantasy, but something new began that rekindled the fire of curiosity.
Some decades ago, the most spontaneous thing occurred: Each of the several most influential races within every galaxy simultaneously evolved. Their physiologies were unchanged, in fact; their minds grew, taking in a pattern of thought — as if inspired by some cosmic force — which enabled them to harness the energies of their environment in ways which were previously held to be utterly impossible.
These psions diverged into four major demographics, each respected for their potence in a particular mode of thought. First, those who possessed psychokinesis, whose minds could shape material to their hearts' content; the neuromancers were capable of manipulating the minds of others with alarming precision; cyberpaths challenged the technological sphere with their inexplicable capacity for transcending the material and immaterial; lastly, the clairsentient, those capable of an awareness greater than their physiology allowed.
Each developed a variety of specialists within themselves, and though variety of skill was apparent, any single psion was demonstrably capable of rendering societies inert given the time. And while many did, there were also those who sought enlightenment, and in particular those who asked "Why?"
Several characters are each psions of an ascended alien race; these particular individuals are bonded by their interest in learning how they came to be. In this roleplay, there will be a large amount of science, space travel, conflict, socializing, investigation, and even some archaeology.
Each character is initially entitled to 8 skills, which may be chosen from the list below one-for-one. How these skills manifest is unique for each character, but those who share a field should be able to intuitively recognize and understand the mechanics of another psion's manner of use.
