The Premise
Year 2022 one of magician named Emily Ray was showing some levitation, telekinesis and fire emitting trick. Also, she was claiming she can teach random people to do similar tricks. She was calling some random person from the crowd, hypnotizing the person and making them to repeat her tricks. The strange thing was happening, after returning home the person was continuing to be able to do what they learned during the show. Also, they were able to transfer the ability to other people.
In the middle of 2023 almost whole Earth population have supernatural abilities. World has changed.
In 5 years supernatural becomes a new norm. Almost everyone has telekinetic, levitation, telepathy, fire-generation abilities. Very small percent did not get supernatural abilities, they at this point were considered as “disabled”, and got the nickname “ordinary” and later it shortened to “ordy”.
Cars, stoves, chairs, beds, elevators become obsolete. Car are abandoned, and laying on the side of the roads collecting rust. Roads also not in use, they are covered with cracks and vegetation is growing through cracks. Some companies started making new appliances, for example stoves did not have any connections to the gas, because people could make a fire out of thin air.
Mobile operators need to start collaboration with the cellphone manufactures to be able to disable the phone on the certain altitude because people were flying on the high altitudes and overloading the cellular network.
Steam-engines are become popular.
Some people can heal. Doctors and hospitals are changed.
We have list of basic abilities and list of abilities only some people can have.
Some people can teleport and teleport with others. They started a teleportation company.
All abilities use the mana.
Food restores HP. Beverages restore mana.
We have space restaurants and hotels on the orbit. You can get here by flying in the spacesuit, or you can teleport.
You have spacesuit in your closet.
You need to buy a propane tank for electricity and stove.
Rent-a-ability.
Oxygen for the spacesuit. Upgrades for the spacesuit.
Basic abilities:
Levitation
Speed-limit 500 MPH (depends on the level). Some can fly faster some can fly slower. No height limits, but cold and air is limiting factor. You can wear a special “spacesuit”.
Strength controls how fast you can fly.
Fly speed also depends of altitude and area, just to make game play easier.
Telekinesis
Moving the objects on the distance. The range is about 200 yards. Accuracy of the movement decreases over the distance. Weight limit is 3 tons (depends on the level). One object only.
Dexterity - controls accuracy Strength - controls weight limit
Pyrokinesis
Shooting a fireball. Making a fire in place. This fire could last for a day. Depends on the force.
