"It is with discomfort and much burden, that power is born..."

**********

Year 1: Vision 1.0.

Physical sight and thought. Depending on genetics and fortune, the scale is 'Ash Grey to Endless Possibilities'.

Year 2: Super Scream.

An hypnotic, soul-piercing shrill of manipulation. Builds strong societal bonds. Essential for the continuation of any clan existence.

Year 3: A Walk-Run-Trot.

To keep pace with The Guardians of Earth.

Year 5: Imagination.

An imagination that runs like a ravenous wildling. If harnessed with purpose and accuracy, the beast can conquer The Guardians of Earth in a matter of months.

Year 6: A Jump-Rope-Super-Skip.

Establishes control with a whip.

Year 7: Slight-Of-Hand.

Can make all things sweet, disappear.

Year 9: Super Tastebuds.

Can out-taste the sharpest chefs.

Year 10: Calibration.

Dormant powers recounted.

Year 11-14: Emotion Gifting.

A powerful ‘emotion seed’ blossoms. Implants are available to qualifying parties.

Year 15: Social Sensitivity.

Can dominate a room by retracting to a corner and sitting in silence.

Year 16+: Compression 1.0

An individual can alter any given space, within a short period of time. An empty space can be filled with junk in a blink of an eye. They can create new worlds. With added ‘brain wave compression’, The Gifted can transform space inside and outside of their body mass.

Year 17-18: All-Knowing.

Can manifest an infestation of wisdom.

Year 19: Super Bladder

Sheds only 'one wee per two pints.'

Year 20: Recalibration.

Year 21: Super Chest.

Can command the masses with a 'puffed-up' motion, or 'hex with a flex'.

Year 22: Hope.

A super power that’s a real 'grower’. It can shape the future with thought alone. Plant it in an environment of undeniable chaos, then sit back and watch it flourish.

Note: must show early signs of this power by 'year 13' or its full strength cannot bloom. If released after year 30, version 1.1 (Hope-less-dope) will override all powers. The individual will become **POWERLESS**.

Year 23: The Love Power 1.0.

A power to receive love.

Year 24: The Love Power 4.0.

A power to give love.

Year 25-29: Super Compression.

After gathering with two or more close friends an individual can compress reality. The level of relaxation determines the strength of power.

Year 30: Calibration.

Year 31-39: A Subtle Sob.

An hypnotic, soul-soothing whimper—an upgrade from 'Super scream', to 'masterful manipulation'.

Year 40: A 'Sparked' Calibration.

If super powers are not evident or remain dormant, individuals can invest in an IOU device or an ‘IHDK’ device. See page 19274693987626 for eligibility requirements.

Year 50: Recalibration.

A 'year 50' recalibration can trigger dormant 'first powers'. To maintain eligibility, excessive high value purchases that have the ability to impress 'everyone', are mandatory.

Year 60: Recalibration.

Year 61: Titanium bladder.

An individual can 'hold one's bladder' and 'never let go'. A time-saving super power, that can claw back decades of lost 'me-time'.

Rarely can this super power reveal itself in years younger than 61. When found in years 2 to 10, dire consequences ensue. Bloating, powerless screaming, water-retention, kidney failure and death. Special note: these heirs are no longer able to travel between planes of existence.

A note of special circumstance**

Young recipients of the 'Titanium Bladder' can 'gift' their super power.

Year 62-69: Vision 1.1.

Physical sight and thoughtfulness. Depending on genetics and fortune, the scale is 'Endless Possibilities to Ash Grey'.

Year 70: Calibration Decoding.

Year 71-80: A Subtle Sob.

An enchanting, soul-destroying lament. An upgrade to 'kin-pin-manipulation', this much sought after super power can move relatives and close friends to act with haste to any request. With compassion and without question.

**********

"Shapeless they are! Let us inculcate the embryo of The Guardian of Earth..."

Moons turn and suns arc.

"What year shall we embed, for power will be inbred..."

And as the months roll on, an assignation of unknown power is born. Its strength will come to pass, only to embrace rebirth.

“And should ‘our love’ fall on ‘a year of calibration’, such embryo will bear the mark of uncertainty.
