Yeah, let's just be glad this didn't go nearly as bad as it could have.
I have a feeling everyone is going to try and keep this from Modya to prevent him from freaking out.
Yo. I'm going to post the work in progress bio for my character Juniper. There's one part I want ideas for.
Name: Juniper Ica
Age: 24 (July 28th, 1993)
Sex: Female
Race: Mixed
Nationality: American
Height: 5’7” (170cm)
Weight: 173 pounds (78.5kg)
Specialization: Support/Engineer
Notable Physical Descriptors: Black hair that is short in the back and chin-length in the front. Amber eyes. Has a violet, diamond-shaped gem on forehead. Symmetrical “scratch” marks under each eye (cause unknown). Broad, square shoulders for a woman.
Disabilities: Needs prescription eyewear. Frequently suffers from migraines. Diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Military Records: Juniper had trained to become a law enforcement officer starting at the age of 19, and then was recruited into the US Military at the age of 21. Her performance in the military is fairly unexceptional, excluding one mission where...
(This is the part I want ideas for. I want to maybe tease at that she has the potential to be psyonic, which gets her noticed and recruited by XCOM, but I'm not sure what I want to do.)
Personality: Juniper is well-behaved and follows rules and orders to the letter. She can be fairly strict to the point where some of her teammates accuse her of being a nag. She is also sometimes referred to as “The Team Mom” because of her tendencies to encourage her friends and acquaintances stay healthy and behaved. Juniper described as having an awkward demeanor when communicating with new people, but she acts more naturally with people she is familiar with. People sometimes describe Juniper as being emotionless, but this is likely a result of her being very calm and reserved. She is unlikely to panic due to being so level-headed, but she has records of emotional outbursts in the past.
GIVE CRITIQUES
As for BlueBead, it depends on what power you want her to manifest. I would say tier one and two are acceptable for starters, considering I have starter abductee psions with such.
Tier One:
Mind Fray - Mental attack that breaks down the opponents will and ability to fight, while causing physical damage by temporarily disrupting the nervous system.
ESP - Extrasensory Perception, allowing one to see things beyond one's normal five senses. First manifests itself as uncontrollable clairvoyance, but with time, can be strengthen and upgraded to remote viewing.
Telepathy - Then ability to speak to others through one's mind. First manifests itself as the ability to send and receive messages. Can be strengthened to allow for mind reading.
Tier Two:
Psi Inspiration - Enhance the mental strength of all the soldiers nearby, enhancing willpower and fighting spirit, while decreasing doubts and fears.
Psi Panic - Send the opponent into a panic, temporarily destroying their will to fight and causing them to act irrationally.
Pyro-conjuring - The ability to conjure fire. This is not pyrokinesis. The user can only make fire, not control it, and there must be some source of combustion available. Control over the strength of the conjured fire and how easily one can direct it must be developed over time.
Psi Lance - The ability to manifest pure psychokinetic energy and fire it as a projectile. Extremely draining, and must be strengthened over time.
For an offensive ability like psi panic or mindfray, perhaps she used it when she was cornered or pinned. 'The enemy mysteriously panicked or was incapacitated, clutching their head'
For a more neutral ability like ESP or Telepathy, or defensive like psi inspiration, she could be reputed to have unnatural confidence (inspiration) or ended up perceiving a threat and taking out hidden enemies (ESP).
Pyrokinesis and Psi Lance would be too obvious, I think.
As for the color varients,
Red is based on combat and aggression, while blue focuses more on defense, tactics, and calm. Green is gentle like nature and suited to healing, and purple is more towards the types of psionics the aliens use. There might be more 'color variants' of psionics later on, but those are the ones we have right now.
