Pins and Psychs



This document is for my knowledge, to understand the abilities and tools of this plane. I am also one of these ‘aliens’ and can use all the intel I can.



A PSYCH is what they call a power on the Planes. They can vary from offensive, defensive, and strangely bizarre. I say bizarre because one so called power does not grant an ability but money instead! Technically, there are four types of Psychs to fight against the enemy:

-Positive: Used for close combat
-Negative: Used for ranged combat
-Neutral: These are irregular attacks
-Ability: These do not deal direct damage but they have an effect nonetheless. So the money ability can be considered as an example.

A PIN is what stores the psychs and makes them usable. While it has been known that some can use as many as six pins, for our purposes, each Player will only be given one to fit their needs. Pins do have the ability to evolve along with the Player, making them stronger. Pins are the only way to combat the enemy effectively and not anyone can use them. It takes a certain skill in order to use one, which is why we must be selective in who we choose. However, we cannot just pluck any person from a plane and hand them a power and this leads into the next point of Imagination.

IMAGINATION is key when it comes to selecting Players. If we were to describe it, the definition would be as if we were speak of power. Whether it be brute strength or cunning or creativity, Imagination exists and it is a key component to using Psychs. An interesting fact about it is that people in general only have enough Imagination to use one or two psychs at most so it is exceptionally rare to find someone who can use so many. These people tend to have a higher Esper Ranking, therefore being able to ascend to a higher state of being. I suppose saying that they may become God-like is adpt...that is if they do not return to the Living.
