Master

Master is one of the twelve power classifications created by the PRT still in modern day use. Masters have the ability to control other entities.

Methodology
Masters are parahumans that are either able to manipulate others or to create minions to do their bidding. They can do this through a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:


 * The ability to create and control minions, with a large amount of variations in size, control, amount,  and exact method:
 * The ability to control and sometimes enhance existing creatures, such as bugs, rats, or dogs.
 * The power to animate normally inanimate objects.
 * The creation of duplicates of oneself.
 * The power to create projections.
 * The ability to control other people actively or passively, either directly or by manipulating emotions or attitudes.

Common combinations with other ratings
Masters don't often have secondary powers, instead expressing them through their minions instead.

One exception is the Master-Stranger combination: Master powers based around controlling or influencing others are often extremely useful for infiltration, while a more niche Master-Stranger can use self-duplicates as a distraction.

Tinkers able to build drones or breed creatures, often fall under the Master classification.

Trigger events
Masters arise from trigger events involving isolation, alienation, exile or betrayal. It should be noted that the loss of a loved one can be considered a Master trigger, one with a singular, focused sense of loss and isolation.

Feeling isolated from a single individual tends to feed into having a single fixed minion, while feeling isolated from society tends to result in numerous and/or variable minions.

PRT countermeasures
All numbers assumed to be equal, the PRT considers Masters the second highest priority after Thinkers: they should be considered a high priority target. PRT officers are given training to deal with Master effects, with the most experienced able to resist some Master effects.
