Elements of ESP…
Psionic Constructs: Avid usage of the psychic planes energies allows a user to construct mental energy into various shapes and forms be they weapons or otherwise. Because of the nature of said energy the psi forms are purely ethereal having no physical sway, but that doesn’t make them any less effective offense wise.

FLAT JOE: Word. He split. He was like, “I could save the world, but humans are stupid. So I’m just gonna be naked all the time on my own planet.”

TRAMARION: The naked part was kinda weird.

MAASAI ANGEL: Just one. Power. Singular. E-S-P.
(She tosses the guns to the ground.)
Or it was just the one. But I chose what I wanted to do with it. And what I wanted to do, was expand it. Not only do I have precognition of your every move, I can control objects, too. Comes in handy, dontcha think? Cuz now, I can stop a bullet.
