Oranges have the power to control minds. They also have the ability to read, alter, and destroy memories. Orange is considered one of the more dangerous powers. Their ability to manipulate and hear other's thoughts makes them especially dangerous. Because of this, Oranges are often killed or relocated in Rehabilitation Camps, such as Thurmond. According to Ruby, many of the Oranges she has come in contact with or spent extended periods of time in the minds of others. This causes some of them to go insane or not be able functinn correctly upon reentering their own bodies.

Orange is the most dangerous and feared power, comprising individuals with the powers of mind control. This power is one of the rarest among kids. If a kid is diagnosed with the orange power, they are killed on sight. However, Ruby was able to convince the doctor she was with to list her as a green. This saved her life, for the doctor had a poison that would end her life.

Abilities

All telepathic abilities are classified as orange, but an individual's powers seem to vary. In general, utilizing Orange powers requires a great deal more experience and control compared with other power groups. Depending on the individual's experience level, direct physical contact may be required, but some have demonstrated the ability to affect others without it. In at least one instance, influencing another without a line of sight and over a medium distance was achieved.

The following abilities have been demonstrated by an orange classified individual at some point during the series:

  • Alter feelings of others.
  • Read the thoughts and memories of others.
  • Erase memories and individuals from memories.
  • Affect the disposition of others towards ideas and proposals, allowing them to be easily persuaded verbally.
  • Display illusions.
  • Send a message directly into another person's thoughts.
  • Convince the person to kill themselves.

Orange Interaction

The effectiveness of their abilities seems to depend greatly on the individual an Orange attempts to influence. Other Oranges have the capability to resist or block mental invasions, although the specifics vary, and the ability to do so generally comes with practice. Non-Orange individuals generally cannot resist the influence of an Orange's abilities, but there are cases of people being resistant or even completely immune.

Fate

Although not documented, it is likely that Orange was among the rarer of the power classifications at the onset of IAAN. As a result of their abilities, individuals who were classified as Orange by the PSI program were placed under heavy control, and were generally feared, forced to wear restraints and in some cases, muzzles. At the Thurmond camp, Oranges often used their abilities to cause chaos, often leading to many deaths and injuries.

Eventually, the Oranges were removed from Thurmond, and likely other camps as the PSI program advanced. Their ultimate fate is unknown, although it is highly likely that they were executed and quietly disposed of.
