Psychic Abilities and Other Paranormal Phenomena...?

[TC - Back From the Dead...]

Hi,

So I'm working on the new Strange Cases story (FINALLY: it's only been 300+ issues inbetween, lol), and I was wondering if there was any rule against pets with psychic or paranormal abilities, or the presence of paranormal phenomena at all? Would kinda restrict the novelty of the 'X-Files for Neopets' angle of SC if I couldn't explore the many bizarre opportunities.

If ghosts and magic are canon for Neopets, it would be ridiculous for them to not accept X-files style paranormal happenings. I think you'll be fine.

I see you're point, plus I just won Guess the Card (Congratulations your pet is psychic!) so I'm thinking they might not have a leg to stand on

That was a pretty old game, so it may be a gray area (for a similar example, see blood and gore in Ski Lodge Murder Mystery). However, Isca and Caylis during the Maraqua plot had premonition abilities, so things like that are definitely in Neopets canon. Plus magic is all over the place, some old Faerie abilities had to do with psychic powers, etc.

EDIT: In fact, I think the bigger challenge in Neopia would be making such phenomena seem any bit out-of-place and not explicable by the standard "Faeries did it" fare. >_>

A recent plot, Tale of Woe, had that mysterious Elephante that nobody remembered being in the camp

Aishas are supposed to have psychic powers. (Unless they retconned that now)

He was actually Krawley

I can recall a few very recent NT stories involving pets with psychic powers. One of them even gave a genetic abnormality as the reason for the character's ability, rather than leaving it up to magic or something. You'll be fine
