- | Hi Mij. | + | An operant is someone who has survived exposure to [[the Signal]] and has developed [[psi|psionic powers]] as a result. Operant individuals are categorized in each of their [[faculty|faculties]] according to the following scale: |
+ | |||
+ | * **Latent**: | ||
+ | * No significant usable power whatsoever. | ||
+ | * This includes those with the -potential- to be operant, but no practical ability. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Operant** | ||
+ | * Able to manifest phenomena up to one sigma above average. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Masterclass** | ||
+ | * Capable of significantly powerful or unique manifestations of the faculty. | ||
+ | * Above one sigma deviation from average power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Grandmasterclass** | ||
+ | * The absolute elite of operant humanity; the upper 1% of psi-users. | ||
+ | * Possession of one or more grandmasterclass faculties entitles you to a tenured research position with [[the Cuchulain Foundation]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Paramount** | ||
+ | * An unofficial designation for individuals completely outside the standard hierarchy. | ||
+ | * Generally this means people who have completely distinct manifestations of Signal infection, either through chance or via artificial induction. | ||
+ | * No known natural paramount operant exists. All recorded examples have come from [[brinker]] habitats in the [[outer rim]]. | ||
+ | * Since possession of a modified copy of the Signal is heavily outlawed, merely existing as a paramount operant is technically illegal. | ||
