Users

Matoran Universe

In the Matoran Universe, Psionics is represented by the Matoran prefix Ce-, as well as the colors blue and gold.

Matoran

• Ce-Matoran represent the Element of Psionics. Ce-Matoran contain a very minuscule amount of Elemental Psionic Energy, to the extent that they are all mentally shielded. Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Psionics are predominantly female.
• Ce-Toa possess the Elemental Power of Psionics, allowing them to create and control psionic energy. Unlike other Toa, they do not particularly need to channel their energies through Toa Tools, though some do so out of habit or lack of experience. Their only limitations are that when they run out of Elemental Psionics Energy, they must wait for it to recharge; unlike most Toa of other known elements, Toa of Psionics cannot absorb Psionic energy.
• Ce-Turaga have small traces of Elemental Psionics powers.

Skakdi

• Skakdi of Psionics can only access their power if they work with another Skakdi, or if they carry a weapon that allows them to focus their Psionics power individually.

Makuta

• Rahkshi and Kraata of Mind Reading, Illusion, Rahi Control, and Insect Control as well as all Makuta, have a limited range of Psionic powers.

Rahi

• Oohnorak can use telepathy to mimic voices.
• Gate Guardians have illusion powers.

Other

Trivia

• The prefix "Ce-" was derived from the Latin word "cerebrum", meaning "brain".
• All forms of mental shielding are non-selective, meaning that you cannot block certain telepathic messages or mind-readings and allow certain beings through. Shielding blocks everything. However, mental shields can be dropped and raised at will, and any mental barrier can be broken by a being with sufficiently powerful psychic abilities.
