75	--> '''Kaleb''': I could conceivably reach the earth’s core with the resulting power, destroy the planet from the inside out.
76	* PsychicPowers: The Psy race's defining trait; known designations include:
77	** [[MindOverMatter Tk – Telekinesis]] (some are teleportation-capable, others are not)
78	*** Tk-Cell: A Tk-Cell has the ability to move things at the cellular level. Some are capable of doing this to their own bodies.
79	*** [[PsychicTeleportation Tk-V]]: Also known as “Travelers” these Psy are true teleporters and can go from location to location in the blink of an eye. Travelers are extremely, extremely rare.
80	** [[{{Telepathy}} Tp – Telepathy]]
81	*** Telepaths are broken up into many sub-designations. Pure Tp-Psy exist at the top end of the spectrum – they can literally send and receive across the world, with a clarity that makes it seem as if they’re standing in the next room. Pure telepaths of that level of power are rare and usually work for the Council.
82	** M – Medical
83	*** M-Psy have different specializations. The most well-known of their abilities is the power to see inside a body and diagnose illness. Some M-Psy at the far end of the scale have the capacity to see down to the DNA level.
84	*** An unknown fraction of M-Psy can actually heal, but that healing appears to be limited to low-level injuries (broken bones, cuts etc).
85	** [[{{Seers}} F – Foresight]]
86	*** A variation of Foresight, that still falls within the F-designation, is Backsight – the ability to see the past.
87	** Ps – {{Psychometry}}
88	*** In basic terms, those born with Ps abilities can gain information by touching objects.
89	** [[PlayingWithFire X]] - Possibly from Exardesco (f. Latin, 'to blaze up'): X-Psy have the ability to produce cold-fire/X-fire, which can burn things to ash within microseconds.
90	*** The power has the capacity to build until it reaches synergy. This is a very rare designation as most X-Psy do not survive into adulthood.
91	** [[TheEmpath E – Empathy]]
92	*** Not recognized as a designation with the rise of Silence, E-Psy have the ability to sense and heal emotional hurts.
93	* RotatingProtagonist: As befitting a ParanormalRomance series.
94	* SarcasmBlind: One of the consequences of the Silence Protocol.
95	* TheSociopath: What any perfectly Silent Psy is.
96	* TheStoic: Any perfectly Silent Psy is this.
97	* TheSvengali: Enrique Santano was this to Kaleb Krychek.
98	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Do NOT let Sascha near your chocolate.
99	* TwinTelepathy: Aside from usual Psy {{telepathy}}, Ashaya and Amara Aleine have a strong telepathic bond.
100	* TheUnfettered: The Silence Protocol aims at making ''the entire Psy race'' this.
101	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: The Silence Protocol was meant to prevent madness and violence in the Psy population... by denying its children their own emotions and turning them into [[TheSociopath sociopaths]], as well as [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide erasing the]] [[TheEmpath Es]] [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide from the gene pool]].
102	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Basically what defines [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent changelings]].
