Name: Elyra Akemi (RPFan)<br/><br/>Short Desc: 5'3, Dark Curly Hair, 30-22-26.<br/><br/>Long Desc: Elyra stands approximately 5 foot 3 inches tall, her skin a pale white, with a slight peach pigment to it. She is quite gorgeous though, her mother was asian which gives reason for her small frame, but her father was italian which gives her a much more exotic look as her body fills out quite nicely. She has long dark curly hair which comes down to about the middle of her upper arm, which sets off her silver eyes quite nicely.<br/>Personality: Very shy, sweet, extremely intelligent, but also very frightened.<br/><br/>Background: Elyra was born in Kyoto, Japan under the care of her mother. Her father soon after had left and returned to italy where he had managed a company. He had only gone to Japan to be with Elyra's mother during the pregnancy, and left once she was born. This led to Elyra being a little bitter towards her father, because of the fact that he did not stick around for her own childhood. This left all sorts of emotional scars for her through her childhood, especially since she was of mixed nationality in a society that no longer accepted it.<br/><br/>Skills: Elyra got trained in the following things during her training with the Black Company: brawling, atletics, firearms, survival and stealth. She's not actually that good in any of it, but she know enough to get by. She can drive, but have never owned a car so she isn't that good. Her training as a doctor has helped her to read people's feelings and interpret them, but she can be a bit unaware of her suroundings at times. She has a solid education, her medical skill is excellent, and she has studied enough other subjects to know a thing or two about a lot of things. She can speak three languages fluently (Nipponese, Italian and English).<br/>She has learned a bit about hiding her true feelings and motives from others, if need be, but she's far from a good con-artist. She knows enough about fashion to know what looks good or not and what's stylish or not. She knows how to behave in most social situations and can avoid making a fool of herself. She is also a rather good public speaker, she has been forced to hold lectures now and then.<br/>She has citizenship in three countires (Nippon, Italy and Switzerland). She is also rather wealthy by now, and owns a house near the Aesulapian Order's headquarters in Basel.<br/>Vitakinetic skills:<br/><br/>Kirlian Eye: This techinque is ecually usefull for sizing up an opponent or for performing triage on a patient. It allows you to take a quick peek on a persons "life field", and if you manage to interpret it it could tell you a great deal about the persons physical, maybe even mental, health.<br/><br/>Detachment: This techinque was developed as a training exercise for new psions who were squeamish when faced with gross physical trauma. It alters the psion's own chemical flows slightly, suppressing her emotional responses. When in use, you can ignore the gag reflex and faintness you feel when you come in contact with gross things, perfect when you investigate a gruesome murder, for example. This techinque is the reason why Aesculapians have the reputation for being cold, clinical automatons, and some do use it more than what's healthy, leaving it on all the time.<br/><br/>Iatrosis:<br/><br/>Mending: The psion can heal minor damage, and even alliveate temporarily the pain and discomfort of more serious wounds. Good for healing scrapes and bruises, and stabilizing critical patients untill they can get proper care and stopping excessive bleeding. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Antitoxin: This power helps a patient (or the doctor herself) fight any toxin, fungus or virus introduced by an outside agent. The infusion of psi energy literally charges the patients immune system, helping it fight of any intruder. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Metamitosis: The psion can mend flesh and bone, focused psi energy encouraging rapid yet controlled cellular growth in the subject. Even the most grievously wounded individual may be healed in a matter of minutes at the hands of a skilled vitakinetic. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mentatis:<br/><br/>Mind's Eye:<br/>Commonly used in psyciatric therapy, this allows the vitakinetic to  gain insight into what's troubling her patient. It seeks out the greatest source of psychological trauma, giving the psion a vision of it.<br/><br/>Passive Voice: By talking calmly to a subject, the psion moderates extremes of emotion, making it usefull for dealing with murderous rages, psycotic episodes and paralyzing fear. Someone affected by this power is forced into a state of calm, even if they wish to be angry. It doesn't make them more susceptible to suggestion, however. It is not mindcontrol in anyway, but can still stop an attacker in his tracks. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Algesis:<br/><br/>Inflame: While this power can't cause new wounds, it can make existing ones worse. Bandaged wounds might start bleeding again or might get infected. It can be used at a range of 4 meters, and you can use it on 7 people simultaneously! Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Contusion: The vitakinetic channels her psi to cause the target minor physical trauma. This damage manifests as a bloody nose or bruised muscle. It can be used at a distance of 21 meters, on up to 7 people simultaneously! Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Algesic Shield: This power was designed to protect the vitakinetic from algesis damage from other psi users. While active, a buffer of fluctuating psi energy helps the vitakinetic resist any physiological changes caused by the use of algesis. The vitakinetics were pleased to discover that it also offer some protection against some biokinetic and electrokinetic powers. It usually lasts a couple of minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Seizure: With this power you can trigger random disruptions in the target's brain. Impulses flare too quickly and neurotransmitter receptors jam, lapsing the subject into grand mal seizure, unable to do anything while it lasts. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Lacerate: The psion tear at a targets physical form with savage thrusts of psi energy, opening gashes or splinering bone. The sight of a bleeding wound opening up with no apperant reason can be a scary sight, and this power is quite painfull to fall victim to, it might even be lethal. It may be used at a range of 21 meters. Drains alot of psi each time it's used.
