What's a Conduit?
Conduits are a sub-species of humans who possess superhuman abilities afforded to them by the "Conduit gene". Conduits can be present in both humans and animals, and their abilities can range from manipulation of a certain forms of energy or matter, to flight, enhanced senses and strength, or other physical and mental enhancements. Normal humans, either out of fear, jealousy, or prejudice often detest and reject Conduits, calling them "freaks", "deviants", or "bioterrorists" and, on many accounts, physically abusing them or those suspected to be one.
Conduits are the result of a rare mutation in human beings. This ostensibly named "Conduit gene" is naturally occurring. Those with the Conduit gene usually have no powers at birth and may live their whole lives without realizing what they are, with a few ways of identifying Conduit potential. There are rare exceptions to this, but these demonstrated abilities are minor. The gene was a distinctive part of the human anatomy, and can only be seen by a select few. They appear yellow in color, and are located in the torso, near the spinal cord of an individual.
Forms of Conduitism
Smoke
Smoke Conduits may develop the ability to control smoke, ash, coal, and/or fire elements. Smoke Conduits can expel and concentrate these materials, or even priefly assume the properties of smoke itself. This form of Conduitism can draw potentially reversing greenhouse effects and damage to the ozone.
Video
Video Conduits posess the most unique arsenal. This specific type of Conduitism allows the subject to absorb and utalize digital projections to make creations in their own image. These creations can range from weapons, objects, and sometimes even synthetic beings that obeys the subjects every whim.
Neon
Neon Conduits have been observed to absorb and manipulate the gas described by the name. Once absorbed, the gas can be charged and fired off in the form of a lazer. Neon Conduits also have the ability to take on the form of neon to travel set distances with extreme speed.
Ice
Ice Conduits are known to have the ability to manipulate the temperature and moisture in the air to create ice, seemingly out of thin air as well as being able to endure extreme cold. Other Ice Conduits abilities include producing highly reactive mist and, in extremely rare cases, being able to freeze the fluids inside of an organism's body.
Electric
Conduits wit electrical powers may develop the ability to draw electric energy formt their surroundings, control, manipulate, and focus that energy. The energy storage and amplification abilities have enormous potential for clean energy research.
Concrete
Concrete Conduitism allows subjects to absorb, project, and manipulate concrete at will. Some Concrete Conduits can also send tremors through hardened concrete. This ability is ideal fo urban renewal and retrofitting foundations damaged by seismic activity.
Wire
This ability allows subjects to effortlessly stretch, knot, and tie cables and/or cords reaching nearly a mile in length. It may even grant the ability to create additional wire-based appendages. There are several recorded incidents of Wire Conduits reinforcing damaged bridges, or binding escaped crimilans and zoo animals.
Glass
Glass Conduits have been have been known to be able to manipulate glass and glass like substances, making them malleable. This type of conduit can also strengthen glass to give it properties not unlike a bulletproof vest. There are also documented incidents where Glass Conduits have been able to alter glass into it's liquid state and
Street
Street Conduits can absorb and manipulate tar, pitch, and asphalt at will. These conduits can effortlessly coat themselves or other objects with these materials, and return settles roads to their liquid state. This ability is invaluable for third world development and repairing damaged roads.
Paper
Paper Conduits are able to assume the properties of paper to glide, and some Paper Conduits are even capable of creating animated origami constructions. This form on Conduitism is ideal for cordoning off hazardous areas as they can fold paper to contain several metric tons of force, creating cheap but extremely durable partitions.
Pressurized Water
Pressurized Water Conduits are capable of drawing strength from hydrants, pipes, and hose before ejecting them with great force. Pressurized Water Conduits can eject water with sufficient force to pierce concrete or quell riots with non-lethal force. These Conduits may also be capable of organically filtering water.
Masonary
Masonary Conduits can absorb and manipulate bricks and mortar. They can quickly erect barriers or small brick structures fom debris, and sculpt existing brick stuctures into impressive shapes. This ability is useful for developing cheap, durable housing in underdeveloped areas.
Carpentry
Carpentry Conduits can manipulate lumber products such as wooden furniture or architecture. These Conduits can force existing wood into impossible shapes by making it regrow according to their whims. They can also force wood to take root in any type of ground, regardless of nutrients or water content. These conduits are ideal candidates for disaster response teams.
Napalm
Napalm Conduits possess the ability to absorb, manipulate, and produce highly reactive napalm. The reactivity of the napalm can be controlled by the subject. Napalm Conduits have also demonstrated the ability to survive amounts of toxins that would prove fatal to humans without the conduit gene.
Ink
Ink conduits have the ability to manipulate any kind of substance that contains ink. Whether it be paint or even printing from magazines. These conduits have also been seen to possess abilities similar to paper conduits with objects such as newspapers. Although there have been multiple reports of ink conduit graffiti and vandalism, they are also know to be helpful with public works projects and various kinds of factory work.
Decay
Decay Conduits are known to possess the ability to oxidize, break down, and destroy mutable compounds using absorbed destructively charged materials to work through, often found in urban environments, such as: rust, degraded polymer, or even mold. Perhaps one of the most versatile and, as a result, dangerous abilities a Conduit can possess if belonging to the right hands. These conduits are ideal for demolitions crews, as they can safely dismantle a variety of urban structures.
Sand
Conduits with the ability to bend and control sand to their whim are often observed to absorb millions of small grains of sand from glass and use that as their power source. Though able to also use either a synthetic form of sand, or the naturally occurring substance, they're mostly seen leeching off of glass rather than sand itself. Once absorbed, the conduit can manipulate each and every single grain of sand to either create something similar to a small and secluded sandstorm, or to even harden and cement these grains together to create objects with a texture similar to sandstone. Due to this, these powers, in the wrong hands, might be dangerous on a large scale. Because of their ability to control and harden sand, they're ideal for most construction projects.
Fabric
Much like Wire, this ability allows subjects to effortlessly manipulate a range of fabrics, such as carpets, clothes and ropes extending or expanded them to various lengths and sizes even allowing individuals to change their own attire on the fly . These Conduits have become very popular in the fashion/ textile's industry as well as even daring high octane activities or even rescues.
Plant
Users can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits, and flowers. The user can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. These conduits are ideal for plant life preservation and even medicinal studies.
Elecromagnetic
[COLOR= rgb(39, 42, 52)]A not so common type of conduism is the ability to control waves from the electromagnetic spectrum. Those who have this can chang or even tap radio frequencies, see inferred, and even heat up the air around them. Most of the radiation used has to come for a direct source. Conduits with this ability are most know to be doctors or nuclear engineers because of their resistance to high levels of radiation.[/COLOR]
