THE POWER FILES

so this is the superpower files which will include all of the applications, weaknesses, etc of the powers.
each individual power is different and to prevent the OP of users, some powers have more limitations than others. some powers also have more level types than others, but that also means theless level types that your powers have, the longer is takes for them to have to train and advance their power.
at the beginning of the roleplay, everyones powers will be of level type I.
weaknesses are also applicable to even the highest level types of users so keep in mind that
since your character has only been using their powers for about 3 months now, they'll still
be experiencing a lot of the weaknesses at a constant level.

REGENERATIVE HEALING

The user can rapidly regenerate. In other words, they recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs, sometimes slowing, or even stop aging. They are generally in very good physical shape as their bodies are constantly reverting to healthy state, granting them nigh-inexhaustible stamina and vitality.


APPLICATIONS:
- Decelerated Aging Process
- Disease Immunity
- Pain Suppression
- Limb Regrowth (very slow but possible)

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
- Regeneration may increase nutrition requirements.
- Damage may exceed the rate or extent of regeneration.
- Misaligned body parts, foreign objects in wound, or mitosis-inhibiting drugs may affect regeneration.
- Power may replace immune system. User never develops natural immunity, and is vulnerable if de-powered.
- Healing too fast or excessively in one sitting may cause DNA replication errors, resulting in mutations (such as cancer, etc).
- May be affected by chemicals and toxins (though will be able to heal faster than others)

LEVELS:

Type I:
- Healing may be unreliable, either failing or have a limit on how many times it can be used.
- Regeneration may be limited to a certain part of the body, instead of the whole.
- May need to think about healing for it to occur instead of it happening naturally.
- May develop scars.

Type II:
- Minor wounds such as cuts, bruises and light burns heal faster than normal.
- Recovering from minor to moderate blood loss.

Type III:
- External wounds, including fractured bones and deeper burns, may heal at an accelerated rate
- Can survive severe blood loss.
- Lost limbs may be regenerated but might end up needing a cast until it heals completely.
- Minor damaged internal organs may heal, but more severity may be beyond repair and may take more time to heal.

Type IV:
- Minor to moderate wounds heal near-instantaneously, appearing as though they never happened.
- Lost limbs and internal organs may be completely regenerated.
- Critically and fatally damaged cells can regenerate, preventing scars.
- Healing strength may be so powerful, the blood is enriched with healing powers that can be used to heal others
- Nearly unaffected by toxins

TELEKINESIS

The power to manipulate objects/matter with their mind.



APPLICATIONS:
- can keep objects from moving
- can move objects with their mind
- can levitate

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
- May be weakened or nullified by stress, fear, distractions, disbelief, lack of confidence, morale and willpower, etc
- Psychic strength may be proportional to user's capacity, meaning an opponent with greater physical strength than the user's mental strength may break free, or even be immune to the ability altogether.
- May be linked to or unwittingly triggered by emotions, thoughts, dreams, causing the user to be unable to control or possibly even access their ability.
- May experience chronic migraines after use of power
- The heavier the object lifted, the more mental/physical energy that is being drained from user
