Wireless Hologram (Major) -- Zenvis 22:20, 23 February 2008 (EST)

The character can create a holographic computer console that hovers in the exact place that the character wishes. The appearance will be an opaque and transparent with the correct image on once side only. The character can create a number of images that are always in three dimensions. They will hold their place in the air like a magic or technical means hold them there. However it can only stay in existence so long as the character is conscious.
The console will have the exact keys and tools needed to perform a normal function. All external functions (faxing, printing etc...) must be sent to a physical computer via email, fax or some other means; not a virtual one. The keyboard and screen will always be in the person’s native language. Those who look over the shoulder of the character will see the images and can even read them however cannot touch the keyboard or screens and will pass harmlessly though them. They can in no way physically manipulate the images.
Characters that have Wireless Hologram as a power can communicate via mechanical-like telepathy but cannot communicate to a telepath through the same means. The character broadcasts telepathically two ways with robots, cyborgs with radio communication and wireless communication devices.
The character, through intense concentration, can do a hypnotic suggestion to "smart" machines but the machine gets to save against it (12) and can give only single sentence commands. The character cannot manipulate cameras nor sensors or the like unless they are accessible by wireless connection. If they are accessible then they can manipulate those devises according to their function. This character does not receive the penalties that others receive (-40%) when attempting to repair robots.
The character is immune to the electrical shock that would occur from electrical wires that are not cable size (telephone wire). Attacks from electrical character does half damage except Super Energy Expulsion witch does half damage; magic and psionic powers do full damage. EMP attacks disrupt their power completely and they cannot use their power for one full melee.
