[impacter]

If any of the Peridots die, we shall make a new dorm PC (unless the dead, idk, become ghosts or something).

They're called Masters. They summon or create lifeforms, or they just control existing ones.

[In terms of classification, Noelle Meindhart/Echidna is a Master, given her ability. Her threat rating in that classification is 10, because yeah]

Ahh, I see.! [Uh oh, you've got him interested now.]

Is it something you learn how to do, or something you're born with?

[noellemadic]

I'm no expert, but... [She tries to remember the details she knows from osmosis] If two parahumans have a kid, it likely will be a parahuman too, even if the powers may be different to the parents'.

But for most, they gain the powers in moments of great distress, so...it isn't something you learn. It's more something you unlock. Then it's up to you to hone it.

[Oh! Maybe she should add...]

A parahuman is someone with powers. There's a whole system of classification, and Master is one of the many categories. Parahumans are rare, about a few dozens people in any big city.

[But the numbers sure pile up when you consider the national and global scale!]

...I can't imagine the shock it must be to have powers you don't understand come to you so suddenly. It must be rather frightening.

[There's a tinge of something hard to place in how he says that. Sympathy, perhaps.]

How are they treated?
