#light.mh

I came from a place where special abilities weren't unknown of, but those with it weren't the norm nor treated kindly by some.

My powers were Photokinesis/Light(Energy) Manipulation.

I think they primarily worked through my biofield (from my own body) but I had some ability to manipulate external light atoms too but not the source.

I could apply it in the follow ways:

Absolute Light: can create a field of absolute light that blinds temporarily/permanently can be so intense it can completely obliterate anything and everything in its path. Think of it like a light explosion.

Invisibility: could make myself or something else invisible by directing visible light away from it. Had to concentrate to work, not good at moving around and staying invisible.

Attacking: blasting from hands, various shaped projectiles, balls of light that could protect a blast from within ( using the ball up in the process), cutting and melting with light, laserlike blasts etc

Light Solidification: create constructs and weaponry like bows and arrows or swords. Highly durable, good for making shields/forcefields. Shields/Forcefields were not indestructible, required my maintenance and would still eventually break as the attacks made it harder and harder for me to maintain it. Weapons worked as intended, but burnt on contact, arrows could be made to explode and swords could let off cutting projectiles, could only be used by me and would dissolve at my will or when not touching my skin any more.

Light Conversion/Healing: if I'd been in the sun recently or was in sunlight at the time, I could heal small wounds on myself or others so I assume it was a sunlight into healing light-bioenergy deal.

Light Generation: could generate various intensities of light from my skin.

Light Flying: more of a boosted jump and gliding or hovering technique, with or without creating wings of light (think these were aesthetic choices), very tiring for some reason.

Alright so if any of this sounds like a familiar environment to anyone, let me know. I'm reluctant to tag my metahuman/mutant kin as a 'fictionkin' type because I don't know for sure it aligns with an existing universe, it might not, which makes me crave people who remember similar things even a little. I was a child, 10-15 or so. It was daytime, in a courtyard with a huge building behind me. The ground seemed not very well cared for, like the place may have been abandoned until recently. I was talking to a man in a lab coat and he asked where I'd come from and seemed surprised or horrified when I said 'from the previous group'. He mumbled something into an earpiece I wasn't supposed to hear about how the rest of my group had failed and died so where had I been all this time to just wonder out when 'someone someone' was coming? There was a group of children being led away down a ramp by a few adults just in front of us. I think I'd been trying to catch up with them before the man stopped me. He told me to stay there, looking worriedly as a group of people were let up towards us. There was a man in a suit, three or four plain clothed people and a man in a military style uniform. I, for some reason, seemed to think they were here to adopt me?? (I doubt that was it). So I levitated (about half a foot) and shot light out around me in happiness. The military man said something like "He better be able to do more than just a light show." and I became determined to prove myself to them? The man I'd been talking to looked really nervous for some reason, but the people who had just come up seemed to think this was all as it should be. I used my photokinesis to basically lazer an old metal post in half and caught it with a solid sheet and tossed it aside. The military guy asked me to fix it again so I tried to lift it but I just couldn't? But I could break and fix a smaller metal pole that was next to it. I think these things were out for the purpose of giving us (the children) stuff to destroy and break. I'm not sure what happened after that, but I don't think I left the building that day. Anyway here's a shitty sketch:
