Tiny and the Terminator [Mistress Dizzy & Shifter_Master]

Once again just my own interpretation of how these systems would work. Take with grain of salt.

Surface level and at low power. There isn't a notable difference between Telekinesis and Gravity manipulation. As both involve moving things around, just the how is different. TK grab things or alter Gravity in the area around a thing. The floaty nature of how Jinny is moving things/lifting herself could be a result of Gravity manip rather then TK usage. As the need for bubbles of effect rather then direct targeting reads slightly more Gravity then TK. As TK is like having invisible hands that reach out and grab/move things for you. Rather then causing things to fall in a direction of your choosing.

The floaty nature of her flight, the delayed effect on the dart, the need to calculate the forces involved. It can easily be seen as Gravity manip. By that same token it can also be seen as a TK who is using a wider grip then is needed.

Rereading things I also realized that there is potential for Jinny not to be a telekinetic at all and instead be a gravity manipulator. Lot of the same capabilities and low power out puts but scaled up things get different.

Also I'm fine with either a bit more training stuff or a jump to them arriving at the academy.

Slade watched with unmasked interest as Jinny ran the numbers in her head. It wasn’t the first time he had seen her do this of course, but it was the first time he let himself considering just how he could help refine it in regards to his chosen profession. Because the ability to weaponize math would always be a surprising and frightening ace to have up one’s sleeve. Just look at snipers for example.

Still, he would wait and give a, lazy, throw just off to the side of her when she asked. Aimed so that it would slip under her arm if she was wrong. But the smile that split his face when she was right was a sharp one.

“Well. We are going to need to focus on your ability to read your opponents.” He would say with that same smile. “And your caution is warranted when using it on yourself, as crushing something is well within your capabilities even if you can’t handle it just yet.”

He would let out a chuckle as he picked up one of the darts on the rack and rolled it between his fingers. “It seems that once again we have a target of speed and precision when it comes to your training. Because if you think that is impressive,” He would gesture to the dart laying at Jinny’s feet “I’m looking forward to your reaction when you can do the same to bullets in mid-flight.” Without warning he would spin and throw the dart in his hands at the dummy that Jinny had been wailing on earlier. It would embed itself right between the eyes.

“Because, fun fact, all but the heaviest bullets tend to be lighter than a dart. They just happen to be moving much faster.”

They had two months to prepare for H.I.V.E. but considering all the years of fundamentals they had already covered. That wouldn’t be a problem.

“So what do you want to get started on first?” He would ask, as they had a plethora of new avenues to take Jinny’s training down.

It makes sense, bubbling thing so that if falls to the ground rather then stopping it outright.

Have to say I like the fact that she calculates what she can do and get away with, with her power. Is not something most super powered people do.

As an Advanced Tk user Jinny could do it in either way based on needs. Violet's bubbles are a great comparison as well.

I regularly have conversations like this with friends, and it is one of the reason Izuku, from My Hero Academia, is one of my favorite characters. It's fun!

Bubble shield can be done with both basic Tk and advanced Tk but would work in different ways. Basic Tk would be just a simple pulse of TK to repel things. Would only work if the Meta in question was paying attention and might miss things if they aren't aware of some things

While Advanced Tk could set up a static field that repulses up to everything everything without needing to be micromanaged.

The power set growing as the generations grow always makes sense to me.

Hmm best way to explain. First thing is to mention this is all my own thoughts on the matter so is easily up for debate.
That out of the way it's not so much that there is different kinds of telekinesis, that's a different conversation, but more that there are different rankings of Telekinesis.

Basic Telekinesis is lifting/moving things with thought, the strength can be exceptionally high or low without leaving basic telekinesis. You can barely lift a pencil to you can lift skyscrapers, either way basic.

Advanced Telekinesis is when you start adding telekinetic properties to things. Object A pulls on Object B, or Object C repels all things near by, or creating fields or areas of telekinetic effect.

Beyond that you start getting into esoteric things. Like condensing telekinetic force into a useable energy source, or creating slip space pockets of telekinesis to teleport.

From my interpretation of how Jinny went up the wall she didn't use basic Telekinesis. As that would simply be her grabbing herself with TK and pulling herself up no need for outside help to move. No, what Jinny did was encapsulate herself in a bubble of TK that followed two rules; push against gravity, and push against everything not in the bubble.

Useable for flight, if tweaked, but also allows for a lot of other applications. Invert the rules and put it on someone else and suddenly they are moving slower and have a much harder, if not impossible, time dodging those throwing knives she just picked up. plus if she can make TK fields she can add them as edged fields to her knives to make them sharper, or simply throw pointed TK fields to stab things with her mind.

Most TK only do blunt force, ranged punches or kicks. Jinny might be able to do mind bullets or saws.

Tiny and the Terminator [Mistress Dizzy & Shifter_Master]

And a reply.

Will mention that the way you described Jinny going up the wall leads me to think her telekinesis might not be the garden variety telekinesis. If you want to go down that rabbit hole I'm willing to start spouting off my theories. Otherwise I'll stick to your declarations about how her power works.

Also, also. the one bit of fancy stuff that I feel Jinny would do best with at the moment is sadly very difficult to get, but would do wonders for her I think. Nth Metal. Gravity negation, promotes regeneration, and can be used to amp powers or store energy. Too bad it's not native to Earth.

“Most isn’t dangerous no, but still hard to explain” Slade would say as he stayed near the door and watched as Jinayah move about the room picking out various bits of material. Most of the stuff in here was relatively normal. Leather, Kevlar, both normal and with mesh underlays. Ceramic, Polymer and steel plates. Canvas and various types of foam.

But there were also rarer things in smaller bins, small amounts of Promethium, both volatile and depleted alongside depleted uranium and enriched titanium. Exotic animal hides such as dinosaur, or odd alien creatures. Small shards of kryptonite, locked and sealed in labeled lead tins. Along with other bits and pieces of things that Slade hadn’t had the time to puzzle out.

And he, like Jinny, kept track of where everything came from. Though he did such more out of habit then anything.

“Feel free to start sketching when you have time” He would go on to say, once he was done chuckling at being dragged away by his niece that is. Still, he followed along willingly, curious as to what it was that had gotten her so excited.

And once he was let in on the secret, he could readily agree with her enthusiasm. It was both a fantastic display of skill, and endlessly useful. “More then just something” He would say seriously, the gleam in his eye sharp as he reviewed this latest development over and over. It was easy for him to notice that it wasn’t true flight, but the way it was that she was going about gaining lift also led him to believe it was more then simply levitation either. Especially with the mention about bubbles shortly before the Demonstration.

“You’re encasing yourself in a bubble of telekinetic energy tuned to zero out gravity’s effect. Aren’t you?” His question was laced with a small amount of excitement. If he was right, Jinny might be more than a simple telekinetic. And that would prove to be very, very interesting.

Nioh 2. Was a fan of the first one, so figured I would give the sequel a shot.
