You can give me a wish list (especially for the device background). I'll take a look at your overall backgrounds (Ressources and status mostly) to determine what you can actually start with.
The idea is that Ghost is more of a stealth martial artisist/melee than heavy ordinance. Might have a back-up firearm, but not his main thing.
So, lightish armor (bioweave would be nice, but way out of range most likely; probably reinforced clothing and a field suit), claws and fighting gloves for melee (neither of which apply when doing a martial arts strike, correct? Can they both be worn at once [finger holes]), and some suggestion for a firearm (enhancer gauntlet? Something else).
What would be reasonable for the above? And what would/wouldn't be allowed on Luna from the above?

Here is a stats-only character sheet. I may shift around a little, but this is pretty much the direction I'm going. If you think the Mode Natural feat is cheese and want to drop it I won't be offended, but it's incredibly good so I took it.

I think I'm going to go with a telepath journalist embedded with a major news organization by Trinity. I'll have a sheet for you soon. By tomorrow.
Mode Natural ; with the freeform system, the 5 point version is fine, it's even a bit underpowered. I'm willing to cut it cost to 4 points (after all, for 5 point you can get a whole Psi point!). The 7 point is indeed cheese and results in psion that use that particular mode absolutely non-stop. Since in free form, one psi points purchases 2 success, It translates to 2 automatic success on every roll. Mathematically, it represents about 5 extra dice. So... no.

Investigative Journalist embedded with a major news organization ; can't you just be an Aeon Trinity investigator?
The mission starts as an investigation and your PC fits the bill as lead investigator. Even if you were acting as an undercover agent and using news accreditation as a cover, the rest of the team isn't. You can't exactly pass Stonegod's character for a cameraman. And the Luna authortities and Aesculopians Order (minor spoiler here) offer much more cooperation to Aeon Trinity than to journalists anyway. So in practice, the journalist angle will not really come up.
Maybe he used to be a journalist and kept extensive contacts in the news commnity... That would be very useful (there's a bit of interaction with the medias involved with second and third part of the trilogy).

I would have sooner expected to find a unicorn in my front yard as I would an actual Trinity game. Are you still accepting applicants? And does it matter if I barely remember the system?

Yes and no. Do you still have the book or do you need help to write-up a character?

I wasn't thinking about trying to be undercover, more of a dual role. A Trinity Investigator who has been set up with a News show to act as their mouthpiece on sensitive issues. But you have a good point in that the orders are more likely to talk confidentially to Trinity than to a media person.
Nope, I got the book. Been tweaking it an preparing for an imminent Hurricane so I'll probably have something this afternoon/eve.
Ah ha! So your location isn't 'gazing upon the infinite universe'. You live somehwere in Gustav's path... Perhaps Louisiana. The noose is tightening around you my friend. Mwhahaha!

Or Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, or Florida. Who knows, maybe I'm really early for TS Hanna.

Backgrounds
Citizenship ● (FSA, Australia)
Contacts ● (Major: Upper level Legionnaire that recruited him; Minor are various ex-Legionaires or similar military)
Status ●● (Legion)
Resources ●●●● (Wealth from his mercenary exploits)
Appearance and Personality
Ghost has a very remarkable appearance in that is stays with you. He is unusually tall, but not big, with a wiry strength and lighting fast reflexes. But what jumps out as anyone seeing him is the shocking paleness of his skin and scar patterns indicating he must of been burnt or hurt severely in the past. Just being near Ghost gives a sense of wrongness which is not helped by his tendency to appear and disappear when you least expect it.
Ghost does not seem to have much of a personality. He hardly speaks, and when he does, its direct and to the point in his thick drawl. Ghost thinks long but acts quickly, and is very deliberate in all his actions. Ghost's tolerance for pain is quite high, and he almost never complains.
He is, however, unquestionably a pyromanic.
Background
Ghost grew up in ravaged rural FSA and would likely have remained there if not for the the intervention of the Legionaries. The Second was hired to put down some insurrectionists that were threatening some Orgotek interest in the area. One small squad was surprised by the young boy's appearance when he single-handedly set fire to their encampment before being apprehended via fortuitous use of TK. The sergeant of the squad was in turns annoyed, amused, and impressed, and could sense something in the potential of the sneaky freak. Thus began Ghosts' training.
Due to Ghost's unusual appearance and special talents, he was assigned to the Second for mercenary duties. The boy, now a young man, thrived, doing quite well for himself financially. His superiors now lend him out to any job that needs Ghost's "special touch" or if they have no one else better for the job.

I know a little about the Trinity Universe but don't have my books with me, long since lost in a storage shed.
Although most readers probably know this, I will mention that introductory guide .pdf's are available at the White Wolf Download site.
Here's my trouble, I am currently in two PbP games and wasn't looking for a third but a Trinity game is just too compelling. My question is how often should the players post (and would it help it I didn't mind the GM posting for my character)?
In general, I don't mind whatever approach is needed for character generation, I am willing to re-buy the Trinity Rules .pdf from DriveThruRPG (I don't mind, I would have bought the original rules that way had it been an option at the time) and make a character OR have the GM simply make the character from description and I never see the character sheet OR any approach in between.
I will probably choose to play a psion of a different type than other players (so the group is more well-rounded and players don't overshadow each other) but I really don't mind. I assume teleporters (missing) and quantakinetics (aberrant sympathizers) are disallowed. Are non-psi but otherwise skilled humans allowed, low-level rouge Aberrants, or even Qin aliens allowed?

I'm looking more for quality than quantity, so a post every other day is fine though hopefully it contains a bit more meat than a single line of dialogue.
I can take over a PC some of the time when RL makes it inconvenient for you to post though it helps if you give some direction (I.e. 'Won't be able to post this week; my PC is going to try to break in the engineer's office and browse through his computer files).

Do you have access to a character sheet? If you do, these infos should be sufficient:
Attributes 7/5/3
Skills
Norça : 10 skillpoint to distribute amongst these 6 skills (Athletic, Brawl or Martial Arts, Intrusion, Melee, Stealth, Savvy).
13 skill points to distribute as you see fit.
Max skill rank is 3, you need freebie to increase them.
7 background points.
Allies
Cipher
Citizenships
Contacts
Devices
Followers
Influence
Mentor
Resources
Status
Max rank 3, freebie can raise to 5.
You have a freedot in status for either Trinity or Your order
Followers isn't very appropriate for the campaign.
Ghost had a zero in Appearance because of the Disfigured flaw. It functions as a five when using Intimidate.
I should mention stonegod- the Disfigured flaw has to be something a VitaK can't just cure up. Most likely Taint radiation related- like an unhealable wound from a confrontation with an Aberrant or a Taint related disease (though I think Psions don't get those). Maybe something else could have caused it, but in some way it's like your biological template is now deformed as well and recognizes your deformity as normal. So there is no going back.
