Psykers

Psykers are individuals that possess ESP (extrasensory perception) or psychic abilities. Examples of this are telekinesis or telepathy.

A psyker can be created through numerous different methods, such as exposure to FEV or radiation. Being dropped in FEV and then absorbing the corpses of others is a sure-fire way to become a psyker. This is how the Master and Hades were created.

All psychic abilities have built in limits. Abilities can only do certain things, and have to draw their power from a certain source. For example, Tanner's psychic ability was photokinesis. To power it, he drew from light sources. If he drew too much power, he risked destroying his sources (rendering him momentarily vulnerable) and also damaging his own psyche. There were also restrictions on what he could do with his ability.
