Just remember to keep your character simple; you can get to the complex stuff during the RP. Everyone's a teenager and basically a novice when it comes to magic.
- "Psychic" character - Depends on what you mean by psychic. Just remember that every power should have a visual medium.
- Energy blasts - Sure, seems simple enough.
- Plasma/fire/lightning elemental - Fire and lightning are fine. Plasma, is a bit iffy. Would be risky even for you character.
- Maybe telepathy? - I doubt you can have traditional telepathy since you'd need some sort of medium or conduit to transmit your thoughts.
- Energy constructs as telekinesis? - Like a hand or something? But yeah, that idea sounds alright.
- Potentially a technology theme, make him a magitech specialist - A mage that specializes in artifacts. Technology and magic don't mix well, but I suppose you could try.
- Fuzzy on origin, maybe magic cult of some kind on earth? - Like? Cults are kind of illegal in both the magical and human world though.
- Cult clashes with science/tech theme that "psychic" powers imply - Not sure what to say about this one.
- Maybe magitech research facility? - Like I said, magic tends to impair technology so they don't function well together.
- Either way, magical background - Again, not sure what to say about this one.
