Kineticist

Kineticist Job Training

Description

As a kineticist, you would receive a brain implant to augment your latent telekinetic abilities, allowing you to rely almost completely upon your own willpower and intelligence. You'd learn to rely on activated special abilities instead of basic melee or ranged attacks, though maintaining a basic aptitude in one or the other wouldn't hurt - at least until your mental powers fully blossom. The life of a kineticist is one where strength of mind is greater than any strength of body.
