Psychokinesis, also referred to as seizing, is a supernatural ability in the Twenty One Pilots lore that allows users to possess or control other beings or vessels. It is most commonly associated with the Bishops and, later, Clancy.
Description
- Origin: Psychokinesis is believed to be practiced primarily by the Bishops in Dema.
- Antlers of Ned: Clancy gains access to psychokinesis through antlers harvested from the Neds, which enable neural expansion.
- Vessels: The process usually involves controlling the bodies of the Glorious Gone — citizens who have ended their lives through Vialism.
Uses in Lore
- Bishop Control: The Bishops use psychokinesis to possess corpses, vultures, and potentially living people.
- Clancy’s Awakening: After Keons’s death, Clancy uses psychokinesis to control Keons’s corpse and start a fire in Dema (depicted in “The Outside” MV).
- FPE Events: During propaganda events like the Feature Performance Event, Bishops use psychokinesis to animate rotting corpses.
