Name: Projected Portals / Frameless Portals ((Note: Most is copy paste from the Framed Portals due to similarity.)) Description: Projected Portals are similar to Framed Portals, only that rather than constructed and powered by a prebuilt frame, they are created in a point in space from a projector via a warping of energy; also like Framed Portals, they can take a huge variety of appearances depending on the construction of the projector Example? Abilities: [*] Instantaneous teleportation with conversation of momentum and disregard for connectivity; one could have one half of their body through one side and be fine. [*] Much smaller portals are able to be carried. [*] Can be projected in a variety of shapes, colors, effects, etc. [*] Projected, making it able to be created on the fly with something such as a vehicle or otherwise able to power it. [*] A heavy and bulky pack on the back would be able to, for a short time, project a human-sized portal linked with a stronger one for about 20 seconds probably. Limitations: [*] Heavy power draw, requiring bulky batteries on vehicles or other sources of energy to power. [*] Requires an initial charge to activate, a 'spark' that can act as a catalyst so that the sustaining energy can sustain the portal. [*] Requires two or more portals to work, obviously, and both must be activated. Typically, activating one also activates the other. Projected portals can link to framed portals and vice-versa, and most often do. [*] Range is linear to power input, meaning a portal will not activate at all if it does not have enough energy to link to another portal further away; portals with higher energy input also have higher range. It is impossible to make a portal leading out of the galaxy, as the power input needed to traverse that distance would destroy the portal. [*] Expensive and difficult to create due to its anomalous and exotic nature. Do not expect a random PMC to suddenly project portals for transportation. [*] When portals are turned off and an object is still inside of it, it will cleanly be cut completely in both sides due to the separation. [*] Temporary unless hooked to a permanent power source. [*] Limited range depending on power input How does it work: The actual workings of portal technology is not well understood, however conforms with the current model of particle physics and gravitic understanding. Projected portals essentially use a specialized projector to channel a catalyst energy burst into a sustained energy field that condenses gravitons in the air to warp space so as to create a small wormhole capable of being linked to another in a different point in space. This process requires a large power draw exponential to the surface area of the portal. Projected portals are projected with a standard code that allows it to link with another portal, allowing the portal to be 'tuned' to connect to another portal with a pre-established method (frequency, coordinates, etc.) This also means that multiple portals can be linked to one portal, allowing portals to be created to lead to one location; with this method, the appearance of the receiving portal is typically passed onto the created portal. For example, if one were to create a portal linked to the Tartarus Hell Portal under Purgatory City, the portal would be of a menacing red color. Portal Networks: Basically, multiple portals can link together as a teleportation network links point teleporters. The separate portals simply link to a main 'hub' of a type of voidspace created together by the linked portals from the spatial warp, sort of like a tunnel with doors and branches. This means that two portals meant to link to one are also linked to each other, with some "doors" (portals) having additional security like a "lock" that monitors who can pass. Flavor text: Portal projection technology was mastered by the Firstborn of Hyperspace hundreds of years ago, used as a form of transportation when ships would not do; the technology spread into the technologies of Glitch and more from the Firstborn exiles entering Realspace, allowing it use as a popular form of transportation for the Undying Army of Erebus, which has no space navy to travel with. The technology has recently in the past decade also been discovered by the Apex. Referenced Technologies: Framed Portals Attainability: Open Tags: [Industrial]
