Alright, I've been thinking about the techniques our characters are capable of and how they are so different. I notice a difference in a Ki blast next to Telekinesis or next to magical fire blasts.
I have come to the conclusion that there are different energy types that must exist in this universe. It is possible to have multiple or even all of these types of energy for your character as long as your character meets the requirements through your own development and admin approval.
I'd say that unless it is a special case, most people can not have both Ki and Artificial Energy. Also, its more realistic for your character to have to learn the type of energy before you can master an affiliated technique, but that is up to the player and new energy does not take up a 5,000 PL "Skill Point" or "Slot".
Inner Ki Energy: The most common energy. A book written my Son Gohan explains its use in detail and makes it quite accessible to the masses and very easy to use. Ki energy comes in every color and shade, and your aura can vary in different ways. However, Ki has a limit to its use as you can run out of energy as your character tires or gets worn down.
Artificially Produced Energy (AP Energy?): This is energy created to simulate Ki energy, running off the same understanding and physics of Ki. Said to be superior to Ki, this is the energy used in Androids or other robots or creatures who have some kind of "AP Energy Core" installed inside them. It is also found in some ships, cars, or other equipment to replace energy or fuel consumption. This source is usually limitless and can be used to imitate all uses of Ki Techniques. This energy appears invisible to the naked eye in most cases and can only be sensed with the proper tech.
Psykinetic Energy: Or "Psynetic (Sy-nettic)", this is a term used to describe Psychic powers such as Telekinesis or Telepathy. A vulgar term for this is "Psychokinetic" or plain "Psycho" energy or power as it is often a rare ability and quite strange to many people. This has its own brand of Techniques completely separate from other energies and most can be used without the user having to move an inch. The brain becomes the main use of the energy, though line of sight and the aiming of a a hand can help quicken or strengthen techniques by helping increase concentration. It usually appears invisible with the odd time when a ripple of air-like force may be seen from its effects. It can not be sensed unless by another Psykinetic user.
Magical Energy: This is energy that can not be properly explained within the limits of known logic. Its origin is unknown and may come from many different sources. It is speculated that these sources are things like a beings soul, special books or items, beings beyond the living realm, or some other kind of outer-logical power aiding the user. It is also possible for the production of such energy to come from the user in another way as well. These powers include things like controlling elements, manipulating matter, healing wounds or even restoring life. Magic comes in far too many forms to explain its energy or aura.
If you Agree/ Disagree, would like something added/ changed, or are Admin and see something you like/ dislike, let me know below. Keep in mind that these are just descriptions I came up with and in no way endorsed by the Admin. They simply are up for debate and character development.

I like it. I agree, but I think Magical energy should be very rare. This is a DBZ and not an Avatar the last airbender site after all.But here for nice think thread.

Not everyone can obey the rules. It's good to have the odd maverick around.

I kind of agree, but depending on how you're looking at things you could expand a bit more. IE, psychokinesis is the umbrella ability for learning the other psychic abilities, like pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, etc.
I dunno, trying to do a bunch of different things is keeping me from focusing so once I reduce the amount of stuff I'm doing, I'll post something more.

I think this is all completely unnecessary. No one on the site is telling you what form your energy takes, it's up to you to write what kind of effects it has on your character. Is it a psychic attack that gives your character an increasingly painful headache with each use? Then roleplay accordingly. Is your character a magician with a whole slew of spells that don't have significant drawbacks other than slight fatigue? Then do that.
Just make up an attack and RP it, no need to have a whole new set of rules dictating what kind of energy it requires.

I'm not saying anything about this being necessary at all. It's simply for people to use as reference to do exactly what you just said.

The way I read it, it kind of seemed like you were trying to introduce a new function to the forum (as you have done in the past), a function that I would disagree with.
As far as character development goes, I think it's worth keeping in mind. Pretty good analysis either way.

Sometimes I find it hard to word things the correct way.
Also, there is nothing wrong with suggesting new functions for the forum. If it were an issue, there would be rules against it. And they are suggestions after all, Admin read them and either tweak them to work or disregard them. But like I said, this is player reference and decision, not forum function request.

No, nothing wrong with suggestions at all. I just recall you bringing up a lot of ideas in the past, so I assumed that's what you were doing now.
