Gifted
The gifted have often had the advantage over humans for many centuries. Known by many names they have often shown up in humanity during times of crisis as a way to either assist in the natural order or to tear it down depending on the side they are on.
Often referred to as psychics, gifted usually have the gifts that are ascribed to them such as
- Presence
- Telepathy
- Clairvoyance
- Empathy
- ESP
- Aura Sensing
- Sensing
- Healing
- Telekinesis
This list is far from all however as a gifted person can have any combination of gifts depending on their nature and family. Predominantly though their gifts are mind based and their energy to fuel them is internal. If this energy runs out or they push past their endurance level they can die through brain hemorrhaging or a heart attack. A gifted person has a limit on the abilities they can have, usually no more than five. These five can take years to hone or they might only have one at Master Class level. Whatever the combination, having gifts can often be more of a curse than a blessing as the universe tends to balance out the life of a supernatural being and gifted are no exception.
Mari Sinclaire was born a gifted and had chronic pain and migraines as a result and it was only after sufficient trials and tribulations she ascended to another state. This is also true of many gifted. Often the gifted state is the "cocoon" state for their true nature and they will metamorphosis into something else later on in life.
The main difference between witches and gifted is that a witches power exists outside of himself or herself and can be tapped verses a gifted who has an internal power that they reach for. Typically a gifted being uses emotions to trigger their gifts though some have learned a mental trigger or mnemonic gesture.
