Psychic
The area around Tamarack Falls has had a long history of paranormal and supernatural activity. As a psychic, you have one major advantage and disadvantage: you ARE a psychic. This makes you a target, either for public commentary or for .. acquisition .. by outside interests, including the Fae.
How much does your particular gift define who you are? Is it a part of your identity? Something you love? Something you hate, and want removed?
How has being a psychic influenced your life? It surely has, whether or not you are even aware of your unusual talent.
SETTINGThe number of psychics is dramatically higher than it should be, for such a small geographic location. No one knows why. Postcognition offers no answers, and Precognition only the vaguest hints of trouble in the years to come. In playing terms, if you are a local, you are more likely to be a psychic if you were born in, or born from, a family which has lived in the small town of Tamarack Falls for the past century or more. The town takes care of its own, and newcomers (any family which hasn't been in town for more than two generations) are under heavy suspicion. Expect that a good fifth of the population has at least a single minor psychic gift. As regards the Anti-Psi and other merits, these are less likely in locals, as children will have heard, or experienced, strangenesses from a young age. They are very likely for those who dwell in Fort Brunsett, however, as the city maintains a more modern, 'realistic' view on such aberrations. A city psychic is far more accustomed to the need for utmost secrecy about his or her gifts. The EyeWhile its existence is kept mum in most circles, the sheer number of gifted individuals has led to the formation of an informal network, a who's who of the psychic community. If you are a local, chances are extremely high that you are already known to, and a part of, this network, and may be contacted by others who need your particular talents. Nicknamed 'The Eye' or 'Eye Net', members can take it as read that if they disappear, someone will notice.
