Talents

Material for the Uninitiated
The Unphased are not only gifted by their ability to travel to places unknown. Many of them are also blessed with certain gifts and abilities. All of the Unphased, however, have a certain aptitude to learn many of these things to varying degrees.

Of the Talents The Membership actively trains and encourages, these are the most fundamental:
 * Medium

The Medium is sensitive to the energies of entities that exist in the same space and time, but who resonate at paranormal frequencies.
 * Language Specialist

The Language Specialist has an inherent ability to read and decode communications.
 * Transdimensional Kineticist

This ability allows delocalized movement of objects and energies within Bubbles of Unreality. While some members may begin with a particular head start in a talent, all members can train in all talents. Attempting a feat of talent is the first step towards mastery.

In all circumstances, the player who is best at a talent should decide who attempts that particular talent. In dire circumstances, certainly the best talent should apply themselves. However, it is good form in training situations to allow those with lower skill the opportunity to attempt it.

Material for Game Admins
Each talent has a ranking system. The higher rank a player has in a talent, the better they will be at that talent. The higher the ranking, the greater the possibility of success.

Simply attempting a feat of talent raises ranking in that talent, but certainly a success will raise it further.
 * Mediums create a situation where a character is able to represent non player characters. As such, they will be provided with the motivations and messages that the non player characters wish to convey.
 * Language Specialists can read what others cannot, and as a result are provided with translations of scripts and languages tat the other players will not be able to read. This may progress to encouraging them to decode using various keys (ie. telling them which casesar cypher is being used).
 * Transdimensional Kineticists will be able to move things in Bubbles of Unreality that the group is not currently in, for example if an augmented reality app is used, they will be able to access button pressing abilities etc. They will also be able to affect things remotely within a Bubble of Unreality.  For example, if electronics are used, perhaps there would be a button that only they could press to make something happen.
