Psion

As an aging human watched his apprentice struggle to lift a pebble with his mind, he thought of his youth, and the years that it took to unlock his own psionic gift. After traveling the world he had found that true enlightenment came from within, and he had retreated to the cave he now called home. As the end of his own life was drawing near, he had taken his own apprentice, the young woman struggling before him now, to pass on all his skill.

Chosen at birth due to her innate ability, the young elf had been molded into a perfect assassin. As she held the baron firmly beneath her, he let out a soft cry as her blade of psionic energy pierced his heart. The next morning, that baron's guards found him dead, though the cause of his untimely demise would remain a mystery.
A young dwarf fled into the forest, consumed by horror of what he'd done. For as long as he could remember, there was something within his mind that he struggled with. That morning, in a moment of weakness, he slipped, and a torrent of wild psionic power erupted from within. He had awoken in the rubble of his home to find his clan buried in the ruins.
All three of the mystics described above are Psions, those who can focus the psionic power of their mind to manipulate the creatures, objects, and forces that surround them.

Wondrous Inner Power

Whether through years of practice, or a once in a generation innate talent, Psions learn to manipulate the world with the wondrous power of their minds. Drawing upon the mystical power within, they can communicate without speaking, move objects, alter their physical bodies, and even manifest spells. Relying solely on mastery of their mind, Psions can perform feats thought impossible, even by the most erudite Wizards and devout Clerics. For Psions, it is a point of great pride that they can produce wonders without the help of external power.
Due to their potential, Psions are often misunderstood and feared by the common folk. If they don’t learn to control their power, their strange abilities can cause them to be shunned and hated by those around them. Most Psions reveal their power only when necessary, and are hesitant to trust others.

Master & Apprentice

If they are lucky, potential Psions are discovered by a master and taken away from their home to hone their psionic power in seclusion. No matter their philosophy on life, every Psion holds it as their sacred duty to one day take on an apprentice with the psionic gift and teach them to control their power, passing on everything they themselves have learned.
A Psion's master and how they are trained has great effect on the nature of their abilities. For some, their gift is honed through years of practice and meditation. Others are trained to use their mystic abilities to morph their bodies into deadly weapons. And for the rare few who are never discovered by a master, or attempt to stifle their power, they risk outbursts of wild psionic energy that can have devastating effects.
Creating Your Psion When creating your Psion, consider how you discovered your psionic potential. Was it in a moment of pure emotion? Or did you realize your power through peaceful meditation? Did you have a mystic experience that awoke something inside of you? Whatever the experience, the first time a Psion realizes their potential has an impact on how they view their power.
Also, consider your psionic master. Did another Psion take you under their wing, teaching you to control your abilities as their apprentice? Or, did you learn to control this inner power on your own? How do you feel about your psionic gift? Is it a point of pride? Something to separate you from the common folk? Or, is it a curse only to be used in the direst situations?
