Ki (LX)

Ki, also referred to as by Chi and Spiritual Essence is the life-force energy given off by all living things including plants, bacteria, and sentient beings. The manipulation of Ki is done through the focusing on one's natural being, and redirecting the flow of energy through one's body. Ki as raw energy is a tangible substance, that can be bent and transformed to the user's absolute will with enough ability. Although initially manipulated for the good of society, including farming, it eventually began to be developed even further for nefarious purposes. Where as Ki was once used to manipulate the Planet to make life easier, it then became a form of combat use to break down the opposition.

Ki is also bound to the physical limits of its user and over usage can leave one's body drained and stressed. One's reserves of Ki, or Ki Capacity can also be trained through usage similar to muscles, or can be gained at birth if born to those with exceptional capability themselves. Ki is naturally coursing through one's body at all times, and naturally enhances all physical abilities of the user passively. This include strength, speed, durability, etc. Senses are also enhanced as small amounts of Ki surround the user's body, allowing them naturally be alert. Those with natural ability to manipulate Ki are capable of suppressing their Ki, or redirected it elsewhere to suppress their own physical strengths. Ki can also naturally be sensed when it high enough doses, most capable Ki users can even sense extremely low levels of Ki.

Ki can be manipulated into virtually anything. Many transform their Ki into various elements, while others take on more unique forms of combat through memory or inspiration. Ki can also be develop to manipulate already existing forms of matter. Most Ki users are surrounded with Aura's of pure energy, serving as barriers against Ki based attacks.

Unlike in the original Lookout continuity, Ki cannot be charged but can be condensed into raw Ki blasts by those capable of controlling it.
