Cosmic Ray Sifting And High-Speed Particle Harvesting

GIFTS OF FAVES - COSMIC RAY SIFTING AND HIGH-SPEED PARTICLE HARVESTING
====================================================

Theme/Way of life:

The world has experienced a subtle shift; background cosmic radiation has intensified, creating localized 'streams' of raw energy. Individuals can learn to sense, filter, and even *harvest* these streams, gaining abilities tied to the properties of the particles they manipulate. These abilities are not magic, but rather a consequence of interacting with fundamental forces – a science bordering on the esoteric.

Starting scenario and assets:

You are a recent graduate of the 'Aetheric Studies' program at the University of New Geneva, possessing a basic 'Sifter' – a device capable of detecting and roughly identifying cosmic ray streams. You also have a modest stipend provided by the university to fund initial field research and rudimentary equipment upgrades.

What awaits:

As you refine your techniques, you may discover the ability to alter the trajectory of collected particles, creating localized distortions of reality. Others might learn to weave harvested energy into temporary constructs or enhance their physical capabilities with raw cosmic power.
