[WaterAndWindSpirit]

And a character in case I ever play in a modern settings with psionics. A combat vet who had no idea she was a psychic all along but after thinking back at her field performance, it makes so much sense in hindsight that she was an Esper. (edit: I forgot her skills)

Alison Shields (200 points)

Alison Shields was raised by her father, a retired USMC soldier after her mother died when she was 3 years old. Her old man was pretty nice, and only wanted the best for her, though he often made mistakes with regards to how to raise a daughter on his own. He had a history of telling her war stories, and from a young age she wanted nothing more than earn medals. She enlisted as soon as she was old enough, and as it so happened, the year she enlisted, Ranger school opened to women. She applied for it, and made it through the grueling training, ending as a demolition expert. She was deployed in a hot zone not long after. She was a rookie, but she was often very lucky with her shots (at least that's what she thought at the time) and ended up seeing plenty of young kids, many of whom only joined to pay for college tuition die while she survived which led her to develop nightmares and a morphine addiction (that started after she has been injured and she was treated with morphine for the pain, though her addiction stems from her guilt and how she feels it can be kept at bay that way), as well as a compulsive spending habit which left her with financial problems, and she donates a lot to charities for veterans to try to deal with her guilt for often being the sole survivor. One day, she took part in a special ops mission and encountered a biological weapon she recovered while the rest of her squad covered her. The incident led her to receive the medal of honor, but she said on live TV that the rest of her squad have been exactly as exemplary as her, if not more, and that she strongly believed she has received that award because of political play because the government was desperate to decorate a woman soldier with the highest honors. Many people resent her because they think (rightly) that she didn't deserve her awards and (wrongly) that she only admitted it to cover her ass, though many people either admire her for calling out political play (mostly frontline soldiers on that side) or just think she was being humble.

Then, one day, she was on leave and went to a concert. She ended up stopping a suicide bomber from blowing up a bomb and spreading nerve gas, since she saw the bomb right through his clothes. A few days later, she was contacted by a Task Force Psi representative, a special ops group specialized in psionic operations, who demonstrated to her that she was a very good Esper (he figured it out thanks to video footage from the concert, there was no way she could have seen that bomb unless she was an esper who could see through opaque materials), which was the reason she was so successful on the field. As it turned out, she had greater situational awareness than most people thanks to being able to see behind her back through extra sensorial perception, and was also able to see through obstructions (many of what she thoughts were lucky shots were due to her seeing an enemy arrive at a corner through a wall and lining up a shot before anyone who couldn't see through walls would have any chance to react). Now, she fights telepaths, telekinesists, and other psionic threats.
