If you intend to play one of the Manifested, you'll need to pick out which part of the body the Fissure is contained in, and what their skill set is.
Be wary, though: the amount of abilities your character has is limited (for example, a character might possess Manifest of Hand and could control water and fire) and they must regularly check in with their Doctor, especially after a battle or a very intense use of their powers, or they risk the fissure spreading through their body and killing them.
Also, only one Manifestation per character. The Manifestation is confined to one part of the body, and though scarring may appear elsewhere, abilities only come from the area it's tied to.
Manifest of Hand - This is when the fissure is located on one, or both hands, and it is centered around the aspect of manipulation, or the ability to control an aspect of the person's surroundings, be it water, electricity, data in computers. They cannot absorb them into their body, but they can use these elements as their weapons in battle.
Manifest of Foot - This is when the fissure is located in one, or both feet, and it is centered around the aspect of augmentation, or the ability to enhance one's own abilities. This could be their physical strength, their immune system, their metabolism, etc.
Manifest of Sound - This is when the fissure is located in one, or both ears, and it is centered around the aspect of hearing. This could be anything from superior hearing that spans for miles, the ability to hear on a frequency humans normally can't, to hearing thoughts (though they must be conscious thoughts) to hearing other dimensions.
Manifest of Sight - This is when the fissure is located in one or both eyes, and it is centered around the aspect of vision. Much like the aspect of hearing could mean anything from physical to mental to spiritual hearing (contacting ghosts, for example), the Manifest of Sight can span each of these areas as well.
Manifest of Voice - This is when the fissure is located in the throat, and it is centered around the aspect of suggestion. In order to use their abilities, one with the Manifest of Voice must vocalize — usually the user picks a single note or a song that accesses their abilities. The aspect of suggestion could either apply to communicating with animals or spirits, to communicating to the human mind. You cannot directly control someone with this Manifest, but you can influence their thoughts and implant ideas into the conscious mind.
Manifest of Heart -This is one of the most dangerous, but also most powerful manifestations. This manifestation centers on the aspect of life, or the ability to control the energies that flow through living things. They can draw energy from other living creatures into themselves, create life in the form of golems and humonculi, or they could use this spiritual flow to heal injuries or illness of a biological origin (magic illnesses are an entirely different matter). Some even have the ability to take life, but this requires drawing that energy into themselves, and most often, it overwhelms them and the fissure overtakes their body entirely.
Manifest of Mind - The most unstable and powerful manifestation, most who suffer this fissure go mad and die. It puts tremendous strain on the body and requires that one be attended constantly by Doctors in order to stay alive. Frequently, those that suffer the Manifest of Mind have fissures on their face as well that result in facial scarring.
This manifestation is centered on aspect of thought, or the ability to access the human subconscious. Where the Manifest of Sound can hear thoughts, and the Manifest of Voice can influence them, the Manifest of mind can directly tap into the mind on a deeper level, from memories to dreams to even the most safely guarded secrets. They can absorb these thoughts, create false memories, and even wipe a mind clean with enough time.
Be wary, though: the amount of abilities your character has is limited (for example, a character might possess Manifest of Hand and could control water and fire) and they must regularly check in with their Doctor, especially after a battle or a very intense use of their powers, or they risk the fissure spreading through their body and killing them.
