Ego Prime

Background: Sheila Braxton has been able to manipulate her environment with her mind ever since she was a child.  She grew up in Colorado where she had a pleasant life, and once she discovered how she could use her abilities to affect the people and the world around her, she became the most selfish person around.  Through fear and force, she subjugated her entire home town.  

Art by Angela 'Peak' Vale.  Used with permission. This could have gone on for years, except PSI found her and sent agents out to collect her.  They were none to gentle about it, given her immense powers, and PSI taught her and trained her over the next several years.  Eventually, in 1989, she was freed and recruited by the New Conquerors (who had just had a falling out with their previous psi, Esper (see Classic Enemies)).

Personality/Motivation: When she first became a New Conqueror, Ego Prime was one of the most selfish and maniacal mentalists. However, like all of the New Conquerors, she has seen enough adventure, combat and human suffering to force her to mature. Today, she much prefers to play her violin than hunt wanted criminals.

Quotes: "Five years ago, you would be paste.  Today, however, I feel that life is like playing a violin.  With hard work and practice, you can make beautiful things possible."

Powers/Tactics: Ego has immense psionic powers.  She much prefers to stay at the sidelines of a combat where she can analyze the action and use her powers in a supporting capacity.

She also maintains the Mind Link which constantly connects all members of the New Conquerors.  Notice that her Mind Link is Armor Piercing, which means that even when her teammates raise their Mental Defense, they remain in the link.

All of her equipment was developed by the New Conqueror's scientists.  Her bodysuit was developed from technology stolen from VIPER.

Appearance: Ego Prime is a caucasian woman who appears to be in her mid-20's (she ages at a retarded rate). She is 5'9", with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a trim, athletic figure, and sharp features. Her eyes glow yellow when she uses her VPP, with more power yielding a brighter glow.

Campaign Use: Ego Prime could fit in to a typical campaign in a number of ways.  As a member of the New Conquerors, she is a top-notch bounty hunter with many enemies and allies.  As Susan Kassett, she works as Kijarat's partner in the guise of Finders, Inc. (Kijarat's private detective agency, the slogan is "For $1,000,000 if your missing person is alive and on Earth, we will find him or her.  Guaranteed.").  As Elaine Thomas she is a high society violinist, traveling through the artistic elite.
