Power Classifications

Since parahumans began to appear in the 1980s and following the arrival of threats like the Endbringers, the Siberian and other villains, the need for a system of power classifications to be used by law enforcement, government and the media became clear. While initially used only for classifying Villains, this classification soon became used to gauge the parahuman capabilities of all capes - whether hero, villain or rogue.

When a new parahuman reveals their presence they are identified with one or more of twelve categories and a number in each one (usually between 1 and 10) to express the level of threat they offer to a PRT team. The scale does go beyond ten but that appears to be reserved for particularly dangerous or powerful threats.

The categories are: Mover, Shaker, Brute, Breaker, Master, Tinker, Blaster, Thinker, Striker, Changer, Trump and Stranger.

Weld theorizes that the powers may have been named the way they were to facilitate memorization using the following rhyme: <poem> Mover, Shaker,

  Brute, Breaker, 

Master, Tinker,

  Blaster, Thinker, 

Striker, Changer,

  Trump and Stranger.</poem>

Powers which are inextricably linked, such as Dauntless' ability to empower objects (Trump) by touching them (Striker), are indicated with a slash ("Striker/Trump")<ref name = "PM1">Private message by Wildbow, archived on SpaceBattles</ref>.

Mover

A mover has the ability to transport themselves and/or others to other locations, by means of enhanced speed, teleportation, flight, vehicles or the like. PRT typically appends the mover classification with the specific type of capability, eg Mover: Teleporter.

Brute

A Brute classification typically indicates enhanced strength or durability, capes who are most dangerous in a melee and are typically very difficult to put down.  While the execution may remain fairly stable, the source of this power can vary.

Known Brutes

Cape	Classification	Power Description

Breaker

A breaker is one who has some ability to ‘break’ the natural laws of the universe as far as those laws apply to them. This is frequently a side effect of powers to prevent them from harming their owners. They typically have the ability to alter themselves to a different state in which they maintain different abilities.  Appends other powers, but only in this state.  Can also include general altered states.

Master

A cape whose powers let them control others or create minions (be they humans, parahumans, animals or specific objects). Can range from ability to control simple insects all the way up to superhuman/projections. Varies from area (touch to long distance), number of beings affected (one being to nearly infinite), simple commands to absolute control and across a spectrum of time lengths and programming (short durations vs. indefinitely or programmed commands). Can be of pseudo-telepathic variety (there are no true telepaths except for the Simurgh) or require voice commands. The PRT typically designates Masters as the second-highest threat in any situation.

Tinker

Full Article: Tinker

Covers anyone with powers that give them an advanced grasp of science. Lets them make technology years ahead of its time<ref name="1.6">Gestation 1.6</ref>. They can intuitively create or alter many devices beyond the usual restrictions of knowledge, resources and physics. Tinkers are less dangerous when removed from their gear, but should not be assumed to be harmless.

Most tinkers have a speciality, something they’re particularly good at or something that they can do which other Tinkers can’t. A typical tinker can artificially assume any number of other classifications, depending on speciality. Speciality should be appended to the classification in every case possible.

Most Tinker devices require regular maintenance by a Tinker, which is why they haven't become more common in society, and many can only be maintained and used safely by the Tinker who originally made them. It's usually impossible for a non-tinker to copy the process of creating tinkertech without shard guidance.

Blaster

A cape with ranged, offensive attacks of some form.  Can include blasts, thrown or moved objects, grenades.  Not always damaging, but generally deleterious.

Response varies greatly depending on the nature of the blaster.  At low levels, cover is highly recommended.  At higher levels, movement is a higher priority, and cover should be assumed to be useless.

Striker

A cape with the ability to apply some effect by touch or at point-blank range. Has a power that applies on physical contact. Often applies a changed state, like the breaker classification, but isn’t personal.  Melee range, including strength only without any durability, else it is classified as a Brute power.

The striker classification could include certain Breaker effects as they were applied to things other than the cape themselves, but not always. Other strikers included those who used energy weapons, those who had certain kinds of superstrength that weren’t accompanied by durability and those with pyrokinesis or such that didn’t extend more than a foot around them.

Stranger

Stranger powers predominantly lend themselves to infiltration.  Ability in question might bypass defenses, mislead, or help to avoid notice or otherwise affect a person's mind.
