*words*
Everyone is staring at you. Gemma looks at you, then quickly jots something down in a notepad. Several of the guards are talking into their lapels about something, then stifling laughs. "Right, then, Akei, would you like to pass the talking ball over now, please?"
Begrudgingly, you pass the talking ball over to the person to your right, who says their piece quickly and quietly (Something you neglected to do), and after a while the ball is passed back to Gemma. She smiles slightly, and then begins to talk a long while about not much at all. Just the same thing you've been hearing since someone held a stungun to your head and told you that you had ten minutes to pack one bag before you would have to go away from home. It's not a kidnapping if it's legal.
After she finishes talking, she takes out a box filled with ID cards. She stands up and hands each person a card. "This is your ID card." she says. "You have to keep this on you at all times. This provides useful information and makes sure that the staff are able to identify you in the case of any mix-ups."
"What sort of mix-ups would these be? I thought you guys had this place perfectly down. Are you sure you're--""And here's your ID card, Akei!" she practically presses the ID card into your hand. On the card your name and your picture, obviously cut out and pasted from your last school photo day. They put your gender down as male... they must have gotten most of the information from your parents. On the right edge, just by your picture, is a magnetic stripe.

Fill in the ID card. Most of it is probably not that important apart from the Subtype.
These are the types of superpower in this setting. Remember, they will generally obey physics when possible.
Adepts are the most "mundane" of those affected with SP. They are highly focused, being able to manipulate their own physical systems with their minds, meaning they can pick things up very quickly and are able to regulate their bodies unusually well. They are also agile, strong, and dexiterious. Several Adepts were noted as functioning as "support" teammembers in Burner groups, similar to heavy machine gunners or explosives experts in armies.
Shifters are able to genetically manipulate their own bodies. Due to an extremely high metabolism and self-generating genetic therapies, the most SP-affected of them are able to manipulate their own bodies into growing new limbs and changing appearance completely. Due to their metabolism, their most efficient way of feeding are capable of "absorbing" organic material such as plants, small animals, large animals, and sometimes even humans for those with an amoral streak and the ability to do it.
Elementalists are able to summon elements from the periodic table through an unknown mechanism. At first, they are only able to summon individual elements in a limited area, but there were accounts during the Burnings of Elementalists being able to create mechanical objects and weapons on the fly made from unlikely materials. Noted for being adaptive but unable to defend themselves.
Manipulators are the creators of a parasite that only infests humans. When transferred through fluid exchange between the Manipulator and the victim, the parasite quickly hatches within the victim. The parasite is able to produce chemicals that affect emotions such as dopamine and serotonin. Unusually, the parasite has a organ that functions as a biological radio transmitter and receiver. The Manipulator has a similar organ that can transmit orders to the parasite to produce chemicals in reaction to certain events and thoughts. This allows the Manipulator to control the victim through, to put it bluntly, mind control. Luckily, most Manipulators produce infertile parasites and the signal can be disrupted through many factors.
Choose one group. Remember, you cannot change your power! Though, it is possible for your power to evolve as time goes on.
