Shaker

Shaker is one of the twelve power classifications created by the PRT still in modern day use. Shakers are parahumans that can affect a broader area, asserting some degree of control over the battlefield.

Methodology
Shakers use their abilities to control the battlefield. They use several methods to accomplish this, including, but not limited to:
 * The creation and manipulation of forcefields in a variety of shapes and sizes.
 * Blasts with an area of effect, combining Shaker powers with a Blaster rating, similar to the old Nuker classification.
 * The manipulation of terrain, hampering the mobility of enemy forces.
 * The use of auras, either aiding allies or debilitating enemies.
 * The use of different forms of telekinesis.
 * The creation of environmental hazards, such as gasses and explosions.

Trigger events
Trigger events producing Shakers often involve some sort of environmental or ambient danger, often non-human or only abstractly human. Weather, natural disasters, collapsing building sections and more are all possibilities.

Common combinations with other ratings
Blaster Shaker combinations were a consistent enough occurrence that the Nuker designation was made.

PRT countermeasures
The PRT's general response is to spread out, minimizing the Shaker’s ability to affect multiple individuals at once.
