Name : Teng Rui (Cherri)<br/><br/>Appearance : Teng is a small woman, standing a mere 4’10” tall, with delicate features.  Dark almond shaped eyes, high cheek bones, full lips, a complexion of old ivory with the merest cast of brown.  Her long raven tresses are usually clipped neatly at the nape of her neck.  Her posture is  picture perfect, back straight, chin up, shoulders back, an air of confidence.  She dresses neatly as well, although in the field, she usually wears a skin tight black body suit that leaves little of her lithe, athletes body to the imagination.<br/><br/>Personality: Teng is very proper, very polite, oozing confidence.  She can be somewhat quiet, but hardly shy, speaking up when she has something important to say and not wasting time in small talk when she doesn’t.   She’s very smart and well educated, as well as being very athletic, but is modest in her abilities, preferring to prove her skills by action rather then word.<br/><br/>Skills: Teng Rui represents the pinnacle of Chinese education, an überwoman of sorts, the ideal citizen. She is strong, nimble and atletic. She is an expert martial artist, both unarmed and with a weapon. She is perceptive and has experience as an investigator. If she wants to remain unseen she has a good chance of doing so. She had a service revolver as a Ministry Investigator, but rarely used it and is not what you would call a crackshot. She also can't drive, when she was young she rode a bike and after she joined the Ministry she was driven to the places she needed to go.<br/>She has some training in reading human emotion without using her telepathy, and she knows her way both through the criminal underworld and the world of fancy dinners and political powerplays. She is a very skilled interogator, and know how to intimidate someone into giving her what she wants. As she has sometimes been forced to take command of local military assets under one of her investigations, she is not a stranger to being in command. Her fashion knowledge is up to date even though she usually wears her Ministry uniform, and knows what to wear when she dresses as a civilian. She is good at hiding her true intentions and manipulating people into doing her wishes without resorting to her psi powers.<br/>Her real flaw is that of her academic education. The only thing the Chinese education system deemed necessary for her to know was some bureaucracy, you need that to get anything done in China. Her lingustic skills are limited to the Chinese languages and English. If she was to be dropped of in an hostile enviroment without food or equipment she would have a hard time surviving.<br/>She is a citizen of China, she has a powerfull mentor back there who could potentially help her out of trouble if needed. She has enough money to live a comfortable life, if not one in luxury. Her mentor has given her a unique sword of ancient Chinese style, combining the best of new and old.<br/><br/>Telepathic skills:<br/>Mindscan: This is a stepping stone to much greater abilities. The psion "tunes" her mind to to discover a specific individuals psionic resonance. This doesn't allow the telepath to gauge the target's exact location or distance (it gives her a general idea though). However, it does establish a mental link wich she can use to effect the target with her more potent abilities.<br/><br/>Pure Thought: The psion enters a state in wich a single thought or emotion dominates all others in her mind, making it difficult for someone trying to get information out of her to be successfull, no matter if they uses telepathy or not. The emotion she chooses must be something she is feeling at the moment though, she can't let it be a happy thought if she's angry or affraid for example.<br/><br/>Empathy: None! (no telepathicly induced orgies in the near future)<br/><br/>Mindshare:<br/><br/>The Babel Effect: Using low level telepathy the psion is able to understand, and express herself when she's interacting with a person in a language she doesn't know. It isn't always 100% effective, but is still a very usefull skill.<br/><br/>Mindspeak: Allows the psion to converse with a target using pure thought. This level of communication is very intimate, and can be unsettling to those not used to it, so it's common practice to ask permission first. Teng can use this at a distance of 6 kilometers. The power drains psi energy, but once activated it is active untill canceled.<br/><br/>Pilfer: The psion searches through a subjects memory to extract specific thoughts. This power has a small chance of being detected (even greater if the target is a psion), so many telepaths prefer using it while the subject sleeps. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Shared perception: The telepath and a chosen subject gains access to eachothers' sensory experience of the surrounding world. With consentration they can switch from one persons sensorium to the other and back, or they could access both sets of senses at the same time, wich can be confusing if one lets the sensory input overwhelm oneselve. I don't think I need to suggest naughty ways in wich this power can be used. :) Drains psi each time it's used, depending on how many persons are sharing eachothers senses.<br/><br/>Psychbending:<br/><br/>Willfinder: This simple power lets the telepath attune herself to another person and sense if he/she is under any sort of telepathic influence. If he/she is, there's not much you can do about it, at least not with this power. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Will control: The telepath transmits a mental command to a subject wich he/she is compelled to obey. Depending on how successfull the psion is, more complex orders can be given. If you barely manage to wrestle the subjects will into submission, you can maybe only make him do something subconsiously, like sneeze. If you totally dominate his will though, you can even make him cut of his own head. This power can be used over a distance of 60 meters, and lasts untill the command have been obeyed. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mindshield: The psion can safeguard herself against telepathic intrusion, turning incomming telepathic attacks into harmless waves of psionoc energy. Because of Teng Rui's level of control, she can also protect others this way. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mindwarp: This power deals with creation, deletion and alteration of a subject's memories. A successfull use of this power can leave a subject changed quite drasticly from her original state. Depending on how complex the changes are, higher degrees of success might be needed. Drains alot of psi each time it's used and also takes alot of willpower to use, it is quite taxing.<br/><br/>Shagg's Folly: This power was named after one of the first psions, who was rumored to "live 15 seconds into the future". The power telepathicly reveals the immediate plans of all those surrounding the psion. The telepath may then act on this information, countering their actions before they even start carying them out.<br/>This power is rumored to have driven many telepaths mad, their minds scrambled by an influx of information at an incredible rate.<br/>Drains a massive amount of psi-energy, but lasts a long while<br/>
