I am not too familiar with all of the guru characters, and I truely hope that no one takes offense at this idea, but I am curious as to who all here has psychic/telepathic characters and what their level of power is.

Feel free to gloat if you wish :D. But at the very least, plesae humor me ;).

Madame Nabiha can read minds..... she just chooses to not do so because most people are such incredible idiots. :D

Psy-Beetle is suppose to have never reached full potential in his experimination, so he developed his stronger power slowly.. Three Eighty Eight is the preatorian version that dominated the other experiments, he's suppose to have reached max potential. However.. PB is a fighter when it comes to psychic, meaning he uses it by putting force behind it.. more than using it to dominate like 388 does. Are we talking power like force or.. power like domination? My two characters are more powerful than each other in those diffrent ways.

As for strongest out of everyone.. thats hard to say, because theres so many people.. >>;

My mind/psi dominator Brainspike is supposed to be a man with latent psychic abilities, amplified, and then tortured while removed of all of his five senses. The result was a very pissed off, tortured, in pain psychic who uses his now super-powered 6th sense for everything.

Enigmus is my first character, so he's not very well balanced rp-wise. What i mean by that is that he's close to being omniscient. :P
He knows the future, he can read minds, he knows people's lives right down to most private details, etc.
Now that i think about it, he's a bit like the oracle in the Matrix.

What can i say, he is not easy to roleplay :p
But it's also kind of fun and it forces me to use them braincells ;)

The Mystic

Well, my hero The Mystic is kind of a psychic. His powers, perceptions, and communication is all based on his connection with the Spirit Realm, another plane of existence. So he communicates by connecting with a person's thoughts and implanting thoughts. He could talk to people in other galaxies or alternate universes, but if they're far away it takes longer to communicate.
He can't really see the future, but he can focus to find out what is going on at the current moment in other areas. His powers allows him to weaken and attack enemies by manipulating their essence or spirit.

Like sheld0n's character, he's kind of hard to RP since he doesn't have human-like senses (he has no mouth, eyes, or nose), but I like him because he's an interesting character.

... I have only one character who's telepathic, but she isn't all that powerful. She's only 17ish. Picks up surface thoughts, can do a little bit of digging, but she'd be fairly easily overcome by anyone who was good at burying their thoughts.

Nyx isn't telepathic at all, but with another dose of the same serum that gave her the powers she has now, she MIGHT become one, as her powers seem to be of a psionic nature. Though... that would suck, honestly. She did NOT have a fun time developing those powers. O_o

In my head King of Spades is a very powerful telepath with the full set of tricks. He's all about his powers, which are supposed to be powerful enough on their own, but his training lets him multi-task and pull things off with little effort. I guess I RP him as being pretty high up there in the list of telepaths.

Heather
05-21-2006, 08:32 AM
Heather Wind is one of the most powerful Telepaths/Telekinetics in Paragon today. The amount of secrets she's unlocked about the human mind can almost not be measured and she continues to learn more. Her powers are explained in detail in her Crey report. And now thats she's had her kid she's ready for a comback ((as soon as I respec for pvp :) and i say one of the most because I've beaten most of the other mind/emps around, all five of them))

I actually have two but only one can utilize what Cryptic has given us while the other does have it in his background.

The Soul of Justice is a Dark/Psy Defender ingame and his story is an enigma of another toon's mind. You see Icebreaker (Dan Brickman) was born with autism. His mutant powers included then not only cryokinesis but geokinesis as well.
His mother thought it best that he be seen by professionals. Unfortunately that secretly turned out to be a Crey Research facility. They did determine his powers came from chemicals in the soil but were baffled as to how they only affected him.
In his autistic mind as a child, he subconsciously created a physical manifestation, the 'Darkman' who is known now as Soul of Justice.
The Soul of Justice answers to a higher power and came from a shadow realm within Icebreaker's mind.

My other character, Father Thomas in-game is a Ill/Kin Controller but in his story, he is a troubled priest searching for answers. Mysterious events occurred in his life that he wants to find the answer to. While he was in Paris researching ancient manuscripts in some old abbey, he came across a tome. As he was paging through, he released a spirit. This was no ordinary spirit either. This was the presence of the Apostle Thomas who possessed his mind and body. Father Aloysius Thomas can speak to the Apostle when he isn't being possessed by him.
Ironic thing is, they're both doubters. The powers the father has are really through the apostle. It's the apostle who gives him a precognitive sense and measure of telepathy. However only if the apostle so wishes, can the good father exercise this ability.

I have a third but it's limited to only one other character. Traveller for some reason can only enter the thoughts of Renegade completely whole as a subatomic dot of light.

Outside of this, Amalgamite has mental shielding from telepathy. His alien virosymbiotes which give him his element powers, also protect his mind from ever being read.

Bloodywedd.

God, that girl is ca-wazy.
Oh, Charon, you're just Bloodywedd's #1 fan, aren't you? I think you even overtook Rottweiler for the title. :D

Hmmm...well, now that Charon has gently nudged me into the limelight with just a hint of flattery, let me see what Bloodywedd has to offer....

• Psychic manipulation of emotions and emotional responses. (re: Mesmerize, Mass Hypnosis, Terrify, portions of Confuse and Mass Confusion)
• Psychic manipulation of neurological and/or physiological states and responses. (re: Psionic Dart, Mental Blast, Dominate, Total Domination, Psychic Scream)
• Telepathy, psychic projection and surface-level mind reading, which combine to form a state of psychic communion and, hence, a near-instantaneous form of communication involving a network of shared surface thoughts and shared emotions among those within a certain distance of Bloodywedd; A combination of surface-level reading and knowledge of human psychology also assists her verbal communication, allowing her to tailor her statements, questions and commands to evoke the most desirable responses from a variety of teammates. (re: Assault, Tactics, Vengeance)
• Deep mind reading--with concentration--through which Bloodywedd can dig up hidden resentments, suspicions and other grievances; Combined with emotional manipulation, she can target minor disgruntlements among comrades and exaggerate such negative sentiments into violent rage. (re: Confuse and--come next level--Mass Confusion)
• Telekinesis/psychokinesis, with force ranging in magnitude from subtle to violent. (re: Levitate, Telekinetic Thrust, Hover, Flight and--come level 34--Telekinesis. Group Fly could be somewhere down the road....)
• A temporary psychic gestalt, a much more powerful state achieved through a concord of unity and synergy as her inhabiting psychic presences (aka. spirits) and multiple personalities merge wholly through continued stimulation of her psychic senses and assertion of her psionic abilities. (re: Domination)
• A Masters Degree in psychology, a few psychological afflictions of her own, a host of inhabiting spirits, studies into various paths of sorcery (though which to control said spirits, states of madness and the psychic and psionic powers they yield) and communion with a cursed, millenium-old betrayer steeped in wizardry and proficient with manipulation of the human mind...all of which combine to make the human psyche her playground. (re: the backstory, and why she's so good at what she does. ;) )

Did I miss anything? :)

Yin
05-21-2006, 06:03 PM
Yin has just enough telepathy to talk to people. His telepathic connection with the wind allows him to do this. Other then that, he'd be foamin' at the mouth and have an epilleptic seizure if one of the other Guru psychics got a hold of him.

Cryo is able to enhance her own mind and body's resistance, as well as unleash a torrent of psychic energy, thanks to Kryo. Kryo may hate her, but she still can't have her getting killed, oh no she has to live in suffering.

Kryo in the city has no psychic powers, just a silver tongue. In her world she is a very powerful pychic. Can dig into a persons mind, see what they are thinking, their memmories, and can even force them to relive some past memmories, feeling the same sensations body and mind.

I'd have to say Bloodywedd as well. But my own psychic character's a tough cookie too. :p

Impact
05-21-2006, 07:27 PM
I'd say either Heather/Bloodywedd/KoS. All three are wayyyy up there in their powers. Adam's powers aren't psychic (in the typical ways I think) so I wouldn't count him in this.

Comet and her Praetorian counterpart both have high-level telepathic abilities, but their psychic powers are focused inwards - rather than outwards. They can scan minds and communicate, but not fire mental bolts etc. Their strong point is creating shields that virtually no-one can penetrate.

But those are just manifestations of her stronger emotions, I guess it would be a psychic power.

Me. Not my character me. I foresee Noble becoming a victim of intense emotional personality disorder in which he believes he is a psychic capable of fighting crime, but not on his computer. He then runs off into the downtown night of any major city, thinking it Paragon and witnesses a bank robbery. He steps in front of the get-away car and commands it to stop and that all robbers relinquish the money and prepare to turn themselves over the police.

He gets run over. The robber then backs up and runs over him another four times before finally speeding off. All hail my powerful psychic abilities, able to predict even the saddest of futures!

I second. KoS can tear you down and rebuild you in his own image before you finish your sneeze, and you'd never know it.

You can't read her mind, well you could I guess but a chorus of different opinions all going at once isn't going to give you any help.

She has insanity on her side so you can't predict her.

I have only one psychic, but she's more about possession. She takes over a person's mind, and then controls the body through that.

Love ya, Cryocakes. :D

Is your house (or apartment, or dorm room) clean yet? :)

How do you know I'm mad?
How do you know you're not mad? :p

It usually takes a lot of introspect before the lunatic realizes that he is indeed a lunatic...that is, if he's capable of recognizing his own madness at all. That's what separates the neuroses from the psychoses, after all. ;)

RedSwitchblade
05-22-2006, 03:29 AM
Based on her origin, Kid Switchblade has a lot of potential but is underutilized because she never completed her maturation in the Crey lab. Crey used mobile surveillance drones to sample brainwaves patterns from heroes all around Paragon of the mind control nature, but when mapped onto Kid, they conflicted with the maturation directive. So her potential is sky-high but she'll probably never reach full potential... unless something really severe happened.

She can pretty much stream anyone's thoughts into her mind but she tunes most of it out. And she has a pretty good set of morals on when and where to use that potential. She can use her mind powers to possess.

But she's just a kid, so she isn't all that formidable I suppose. Not a whole lot of confidence.

In my original stories, Blue Diamond could read minds, but was not aware of it. Element Dog could merge his body with other people, holding them in place, but he was unable to control their actions; the best he could do is force them into inaction with a battle of wills. His power can only effect matter, though, the energy of the mind is beyond his control.

Blue Diamond's power, however, is the manipulation and transformation of energy. So he could "merge" his mind with the electrical energy of another mind. Only very late in the series does he realize this and start using the power, but he hates using it, to the point where he'll use it only as a last resort. One place he does use it is to "heal" someone who is in a coma. However, that's part of the series I haven't written yet, so that's way in the future.

Dragon Lord Morgon can "possess" people, and can control minds, but he can't really read them. He probably gets some information in the link when he is controlling a mind, but that would depend a lot on how strong the victim's will is. (Controlling a Minion is easy, but either controlling or reading the mind of a Boss or a Hero would be harder)

I should also mention that Element Dog is extremely hard to "reach" with mind control because part of his mind doesn't exist on the physical plane. That's unique to the original version of the characters, though, and Genie Gold does not have that protection. Element Beast and his other form Golden Fang may, though. Although Blue Diamond should be resistant to mind control, in fact he is so single minded that it's easy to get around that. (Which fits the CoH version of Invulnerability being vulnerable to Psionics, although that wasn't the original reason I made him that way)

The Adept (Wu Shu Warrior) is a blind elf who has mastered Yan li Chi, which translates to Spirit Vision. It is a form of Astral Perception that allows him to see the internal energies of a living being and to a certain extent predict their movements. In general, I consider him to be one of the best on the planet with this ablity though is not nearly the Xavier-DBZ level. Some would consider this a psi ablity, especially since he is a Natural Origin who has spent decades towards its perfection.

Khamsin has a psychic connection with his deity, the Babylonian Sky King Anu. Back in old Rps, I really use to get into it to the extend one might think it was a split personality disorder. In general, Khamsin spoke outloud and when I wanted Anu to speak it would be an emote. Khamsin doesn't have any real power ether, rather it was this psychic connection that allowed him to be a Focus for Anu's ablities. As time when on the man became more important to me than the deity so as to be a classical hero to the point that lately Anu really has anything to say.

Definately not Telepaths by any means if thats what what you were looking for.
