[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 7118182, member: 6801311"] Okay, here's my telepath/telekinetic, probably who I will play, though I wouldn't mind working up some of the (simpler) concepts I mentioned, just for the heck of it. Heather is originally from a more X-Men universe type storytelling simm, so not sure if her background and motivations/complications will fit into your world. Let me know and I will tweak.

[sblock=Background] Heather Todd is the second youngest daughter of a large family from Elkins, West Virginia, in Appalachian redneck country. Her father was an abusive drunk, but Heather’s older sister Tamar took the brunt of his abuse to keep her younger siblings from it. Heather’s powers emerged when she was ten, the night her father killed the mutant boyfriend of his eldest daughter. He didn’t stay dead, however, and he was the leader of a cell of the terrorist Brotherhood of Mutants. He returned to the farm and slaughtered most of the Todd family. Heather and her younger siblings Matthew, Kenny, and Mary Ellen were saved when Tamar’s own powers emerged in a violent explosion of stellar energy. Unknown to Tamar, Heather’s powers also emerged. Her mind ripped a hole in the astral plane, created a small, safe demiplane out of the astral “stuff” that was sucked inside, and hid. Tamar, meanwhile, was taken with the remaining family to a school in Atlanta where they protected and trained mutants in using their powers and serving the world. Tamar thought Heather was in severe catatonic shock from what had happened. Slowly Heather started to emerge, first with small telekinetic promptings of items around her.
