Capabilities

[hider]Mental

[b]Telepathy[/b] - The Tereshkeyva are notoriously powerful psychics, and as the acting Head of House Katya is accomplished even by their standards. Katya’s telepathy is exceptionally potent and extends to the entirety of Medius – with preparation, she is easily capable of breaching the barriers between realms (though she is only able to send messages in this fashion, and the transmission is extremely difficult to understand due to interference from Pylae).

[b]Clairvoyance[/b] – Though true clairvoyance is exceedingly rare, Katya has a form of the ability insofar as that she is able to intuit what someone will do based on their surface thoughts. As individuals around her with less than extreme psychic protection think of actions, Katya receives the information simultaneously and is able to adjust her own actions accordingly. This is limited by Katya’s own processing speed, which is not high enough to replicate the intense bursts of speed achieved by – for example – master swordsmen.

[b]Profiling[/b] – Katya has an imprinted form of telepathy that allows her to completely copy a target’s entire mental profile, and gain access to someone’s entire personality and suite of memories for as long as she is shapeshifted into their form. The creation of the imprint requires a very invasive psychic probe – though Katya is so skilled a psychic that individuals without extreme psychic defences will not even know that they have been probed. Once Katya relinquishes the psychic profile and shapeshift, she does not retain any of the target’s memories unless they are stored using a physical medium.

[b]Deduction[/b] - Katya is [i]exceptionally[/i] astute, even among the Tereshkeyva. Though she has no claim to leadership of the Tereshkeyva by succession, she has been ruling them for centuries from the shadows. It is virtually impossible to surprise Katya, and she is capable of using her telepathy and extreme perception to make jumps of logic even geniuses simply would never be able to think of.

[b]Mental Fortress[/b] - Katya’s mind is almost completely impenetrable. Her psychic skill renders all but the absolutely most powerful attempts to establish any form of psychic link (including telepathy, mind reading, etc.) futile unless she directly allows it.


Physical


As a Precursor Descendant, Katya is more physically adept than the majority of humans. Years of guerrilla warfare, espionage, and stealth have left her in peak physical condition.


Magical/Technological


[b]Shapeshifting[/b] – [i]Imprinted[/i] - Katya is a powerful practitioner of the signature Tereshkeyva magic – shapeshifting. The Tereshkeyva precursors, upon gaining access to the genetic material of an individual (through touch, a sample, or a particularly dense chunk of vis), are able to shapeshift into the phenotype expressed by the genome that they copy. The copy is flawless – insofar as the genetics are concerned – though modification is typically required to match the exact appearance of an individual as a perfect expression of a phenotype does not take into consideration environmental affectation. Katya automatically adjusts her shapeshifts to be flawless copies of those whose genetics she imitates.

While shapeshifted as a target, Katya automatically assumes their psychic profile, and as a result is able to use any inborn talents they may possess, as well as use all of the magic that they are capable of performing with all requisite knowledge. Katya’s shapeshifts are only perfect on humans, however – she is unable to copy a Licentia’s soul core or a Prae’s crystal and thus cannot perform any feats that require these things. Due to her extreme psychic power, however, she [i]is[/i] capable of creating a psychic projection that creates a convincing enough illusion of their presence that it will fool anybody not of a similar psychic level to Katya (or in other very specific situations).

[b]Stealth[/b] – [i]Imprinted[/i] - Katya is capable of causing individuals to simply not register her presence with her psychic capabilities, however, this does not affect machines. Katya cannot be psychically sensed unless she wishes to be sensed, and traditional methods of vis sense within 25 feet of her simply fail to work, not registering her presence at all. If she has already planted a psychic probe in an individual, she is capable of extending this effect to them regardless of distance (as long as they are both on Medius).

[b]Psychic Probe[/b] – [i]Imprinted[/i] - Katya is capable of manifesting a psychic probe within the mind of a target which serves as an anchor for her other psychic abilities, as well as being the root of her Profiling ability. For as long as a placed psychic probe remains within a target, Katya is able to draw upon their mental profile (assuming that she has also shapeshifted into their form) – and if the probe is removed, her profile also immediately ends and no memories whatsoever are retained.

[b]Vis Reserve[/b] – Katya’s vis reserves are substantial by Tereshkeyva standards, which puts her only slightly behind the average precursor from another family. [/hider][/hider]
