Energy Manipulation

Little is known about Dregan, but one thing is well known: "he hates Rikti"

He does like to talk about his home planet, we think the rikti destroyed it, he might be the only survivor, he was not there during the rikti invasion.

Amy was despondent. “I don’t want to work in retail!” she exclaimed. But the latest D- left little recourse and she steeled herself for a semester of Liberal Arts. She wandered the musty old museums, often removing her glasses, as if a far-sighted veil could stave off intolerable boredom. When she stumbled upon the Circle of Thorns she assumed they were museum staff involved in a re-enactment of an ancient ceremony. They explained how she could earn extra credit for helping them with their work in the wing dedicated to some dumb old relics. It was too late when she realized something was wrong. In her panic she groped blindly for something to use as a weapon. She grasped the nearest relic and swung wildly. Suddenly she was filled with energy, energy she could will outward as a weapon. When the Circle was defeated she saw her chance to be a respected member of the scientific community.

It was a beautiful day, brilliantly blue and cloudless and the sun baked the San Diego streets as Caitlin Rose Baker walked to school, surrounded by her friends who were busy catching up on the latest television episodes. It really was the perfect day for an 18th birthday and Caitlin was enjoying every minute of it. She bounded into class, waving hello to her friend Jiāo as she sat down. He had been one of the people she became fast friends with at Aquinas Academy and she loved hanging out with him outside of school. Caitlin’s phone buzzed with a text message and she silenced it quickly without much thought. It looked like another birthday text message from her East Coast friends. What was a Rikti anyway? She snapped her phone shut as the late bell rang and the teacher started collecting last night’s Calculus homework. As Caitlin passed her papers forward, the classroom darkened with a greenish cast.
