Gift

A Gift is an extraordinary power manifested in an individual. Its nature varies between bearers: some manipulate water, wind or other forces, and the way the power is used depends on the person who wields it. Mika’s Gift is Water, which she uses for water-based attacks and healing; Owen’s is Wind. A Gift can therefore contribute to offense, protection or support during an operation. Possessing a Gift does not remove the danger of entering Chaos. Agents remain vulnerable to its influence and rely on the Protos and their equipment to operate there. Their powers are one part of their abilities, alongside training and the cooperation of the squad. The source of these powers remains uncertain. Elaine studies the possibility that the Gifts which appeared in people originate in an unseen universe beyond the familiar physical world. She presents this connection as a hypothesis under investigation.
