Please elaborate on your question. I don't understand what you are confused about.

Please elaborate on your question. I don't understand what you are confused about. Aww, you asked so nicely! <3 "No mental remembrance" is what is confusing me. Does that mean they can do it without realizing, or that it can be only done right after they see it and that's that? I'd assume the former, but now I'm confused. :D |

You assume correct. It's more like the body reacting before the mind can register. For example, a real gymnast might be able to tell you how they have to bend and contort their body around the bars, and distribute their weight, and such and so forth.
Someone with Muscle memory does it, and doesn't understand it. They can do it, but they can't explain to you how they can do it.
Needless to say, they make very bad teachers.

Alright, so there's no like, time restriction? Once they see it, they can pretty much do it, but not understand it? |

If someone with Cellular Regeneration can't get sick and their wounds heal automatically, how do they die?

If someone with Cellular Regeneration can't get sick and their wounds heal automatically, how do they die? Drowning or total annihilation? Anywho, what I really came here to ask was; Does using TK actually cost energy? I mean, I know about the strength restrictions and stuff, but it doesn't really say anything about energy... I have been playing it energy-wise, to be safe. (and cuz that's how I roll  ) And follow up question: Could a telekenetic use his powers to create a forcefeild? I mean, it would take concentration and practice, but no actual energy until it needed to deflect/stop something. And then there's the whole fireball issue I presented which would theoretically go away in the later stages. In case you haven't noticed, I take great joy in finding different uses for powers, and new restrictions. Aren't I dandy? |

Two questions, Two answers!
Regeneration: It is true that people with this Gift will live longer and healthier lives. However, it is only so long this gift can fight off the invariable decay of the bodies cells. Eventually they begin to decay faster then the body can repair them, and there isn't enough healthy body to repair the damaged body. At that point, they will die much like anyone else.
TK: Energy? Like what kind of energy?
Force field: Yes it can be done, BUT it will be a strain for as long as it is active, not as long as it is struck. Imagine if you are pushing against a door to steady it. Even though you aren't exerting a lot of force, your muscles will still get tired if you do it for too long. When something pushes on it, your muscles will get tired much faster.
That's about how a TK forcefield works.

Energy. Calories. What humans use to function. Stamina. How long one can hold out for.
The word energy just causes problems for this board.

That's about how a TK forcefield works. *coughs* that's... not accurate, Rob. The cells continue to regenerate throughout a Gifted's entire life. Which means that a Gifted with that Gift cannot die of old age. What you need to do is completely annihilate them. Or, you know, find a way to shut off the Gift... *looks innocent* |
