Welcome to Gaia! ::

those should be pritty, not to mention contervertal.

Meh. To make the movies financially viable in the States, they removed any direct references to religion and God. It'll only be implied metaphorically.

Which sucks a whole lot of a**, if you ask me. In Lyra's world, religion is freakin' science. How can they work around it without blowing the universe flies right past me.

Spear's are genetically engineered humans’ with the potential for psychic abilities, and in order to utilize their potential, they must use the drugs known as PPECs. (Psychic Power Enhancement Chemicals) However, there are some unique Spear's that are created with a unique psionic ability, such as tactile-telekinesis or pryokinesis.

This enables them the use psychic projections as attacks. Except for their passive telepathic ability, any other psychic abilities that is used as a "weapon" depends on the type of drug consumed beforehand.

Repetitive usage of the pyshic ability will cause the Spear to go into shock, a condition known as "Short", which can only be treated by using the drug Delmetor. Left untreated, Short will kill the victim and all surrounding life forms. therefore each Spear utilizes extreme caution with the use of their abilites, and in this way they can be controlled and regulated.

The Shields are just your average joes, and nowhere near in class with the Spears. The Gaian Goverment has considerably increased the odds in their favor by outfitting them with specialized equipment, including bullet-resistant uniforms and visors resembling a knight's helmet. The left sleeve of their uniform is made of a special latex material that hardens with impact, and the gauntlet they wear on their right hand contains a spring-loaded knife and pistol plus compartments for miniaturized explosive and concussive devices. The leg harnesses hold a baton that can be telescoped to a full-length lance, as well as their communication device (called comm links) and a spare holster For combat operations, Shields wear "battle vests," heavy-duty flak jackets with pouches for items.
