ABILITY
Ability Name: Frequency Manipulation
General Description: The ability to manipulate sound and produce various frequencies and sonic waves, including altering the pitch of sounds generated by other sources and one's own voice. Can be used to subject others to either positive or negative effects, or cause structural changes to inanimate objects in the environment. With practice the user will be able to generate sonic screams that can be mild to severe, so as to selectively incapacitate someone or outright kill them. They will gain the ability to use sound to "echolocate" as well as gain heightened sensitivity to what their ears can pick up. They gain limited psionic abilities that occur reflexively in order to protect themselves from the effects of their sonic screams and the more harmful frequencies they can generate.
D-Rank: At this stage, the user gains a heightened awareness of frequencies, becoming more auditorily sensitive to the sounds around them. This enables them to hear frequencies above and below the threshold people can normally hear, entering into the infrasound and ultrasound ranges. This increases their ability to hear regular sounds as well, able to pick up conversations up to a block away. The user gains a reflexive psionic shield at this tier that protects them from the effects of their current and future powers, allowing them to not be deafened or incur hearing/bodily damage due to the frequencies they can hear. As well, they gain a sonic scream. At this stage, the scream temporarily deafens people and briefly disorients them with sound induced vertigo. It is able to shatter thin glass such as cups and more fragile items, but may only crack stronger or thicker glass. It can cause bleeding from the ears if the person is within a close proximity to the user. At this tier there is no control over the range or targets, and may occur in a more defensive or otherwise reflexive manner.
C-Rank: By this stage, the user's hearing has become sharper and they can pick up audio clearer from further away, up to three to four city blocks away. Their hearing has become more selective and they are able to tune out other sounds to a degree as they hone in on others. The range of frequencies they can hear in the infra/ultrasound spectrum has also drastically increased. The user gains the ability to adjust their voice to varying frequencies, and this allows them to cause positive effects on the bodies of other (ie: using a pitch of 174 Hz to promote easing of pain and stress). They can also go the opposite end and drop their voice to pitches in the range that induce feelings such as intense anxiety and fear. The user is able to minutely and rapidly vibrate their hands to transmit sonic frequencies through solid objects, causing structural damage. It may only effect a small area no larger than a meter around/deep at this stage. The user's sonic scream increases in power, as does their control over it, inducing severe vertigo and disorientation, and nauseating the target and causing their ears to bleed regardless of distance. It is able to shatter all glass and cause cracks to form in concrete. The effects are more violent the closer one is to the user, and proximity can result in permanent tinnitus or loss of hearing. The user also gains the ability to send out sonic "pings", which act like sonar, allowing the user to "see" their environment with sound. However they cannot pinpoint specific objects too clearly and can be overwhelmed by the returning informational noise.
B-Rank: Not only can the user now selectively tune out all sounds but the ones they are focusing on, they can also enhance that particular sound to hear it more clearly. They are now able to selectively pick up on audio up to 10 blocks away. The user can fully hear all frequency ranges now, as well they can tune their own voice to match them. With this, they are also able to pick up on shortwave radio signals, and if they focus hard enough the user will be able to eavesdrop on radio communications, such as shortwave non-broadcast, though they cannot respond to them. They are able to amplify their voices to a degree, creating a megaphone like effect without inducing their sonic scream. Their sonar now has a further range, and they can also focus it better to pick out specific targets they are seeking. They can feel the frequency of buildings/objects and match the vibrations of their voice/body to that frequency, causing the inanimate target to collapse or otherwise be destroyed through manipulating mechanical resonance. The user can also intentionally hinder sound-reliant electronics by changing the frequency of their voice, doing things such as messing with sonar devices. The sonic scream can effect targets further out, and the user can now pinpoint the focus of the scream, allowing them to target individuals with it or target a group as a whole. The pitch of the scream can now shatter glass, and if pinpointed it can destroy wood and concrete. The scream now causes permanent damage to the ears, and damages internal organs. It is hard to block it out as it can now resonate with the bone of the skull and still inflict some effects, even if one's ears are covered. However the user can exert greater control and choose to make this scream merely one to knock someone out or cause the incredible internal damage.
A-Rank: Very Powerful Tier.
S-Rank: Godly Tier.
