Presence Sense 120’, 30m area 20Min (2/lvl) Alerts the character to the presence of supernatural and magic creatures in the area. The psychic can also sense human presences, but with much less accuracy – it is more of a feeling of “We are not alone.”
Alter Aura Self 10Hours (1/lvl) General level of experience can be made to seem much lower
(level 1 or 2) or much higher (2D4 levels higher) than it really is. Conceal the presence of psychic powers. Conceal level of base P.P.E. (made to seem much lower). Conceal the presence of magic.
Sense Evil 140’ 42.7m area 20Min (2/lvl) Sense general number of supernatural evil Presences, Intensity (alignment) can track the source of supernatural evil, like a bloodhound. Human evil is vague

Deaden Pain 3’ 10Hours (1/lvl) Takes 2 minutes to cast. The ability to deaden pain can be used as a painkiller which temporarily negates existing pain or as an anesthetic to be used for surgery.
Mind Block Self 100Min (10/lvl) Prevent penetration of telepathy, empathy, hypnotic suggestion, and empathic transfer. Adds a bonus of +1 to save vs all psychic and mental attacks.
Induce Sleep 6’ 10Hours (1/lvl) Must meditate 2 min. The person will fall into a normal, restful sleep from which he can be easily roused. Unwilling victims of the induce sleep psi-power get a +5 bonus to save
Hypnotic Suggestion 12’ (eye contact) < A few hours The power of suggestion can not make a person think he’s a chicken, nor does it make a person the psychic’s charmed, zombie slave that obeys his every command. It simply soothes or implants a notion into someone’s thoughts. Sometimes that little bit can be an important edge
Super-Hypnotic Suggestion LoS 5min This mind control power enables the vampire to place any living creature in a light trance and enforce his will over the victim’s. The vampire’s commands will be obeyed except where they would go completely against the victim’s alignment. By cunningly using this power, the vampire can phrase a command in a way that the victim will have no compunction to refuse. Caster’s death or caster’s release terminates spell.

Bio


Born in 1743, Jean Claude Le Beaux in Del Morte France, the city of death. It only was ironic that this rich boy would die some years later at the hands of a vampire named Angelika Prescott, a master vampire from all over Europe. Her age was unknown to him but when he came back to the land of the living the woman that seduced him for six months was gone. Without information about the lie that this vampire had told he invested his fortune looking for vampires when the war in the colonies occurred (1775). Intrigue filled this new Hybrid and he made effort to get every word on this new world and he began looking for ways to support the enemies of France by selling weapons to the colonies.

Years passed and war came to France with the desire to become a Republic and Angelika came back wanting to hide from the blood shed. Because he had fallen for her, she stayed safe while the blood shed occurred outside the Le Beaux family estate. By the time Napoleon had gained power and had over thrown the French Republic some twenty years later Jean had studied several languages, among them English and headed for the United States of America. As a favor to his beloved he took Angelika to America and had a place built around her coffin.

Years passed and the Civil war of the United States occurred. During that time Edger Allen Poe had become friends with Jean Claude. The two had become such friends Poe began calling him the Raven.

Taking the name Raven Blue for a couple of decades he traveled back and forth from France and America, occasionally visiting other parts of Europe. After the wars of France and America he started to look into his loves past and who and what a vampire was and their history. He learned a lot about the missing figures of history and even met a few vampires. He had learned to keep his distance from these very dangerous creatures. It was during the presidency of J. Eder Hover that he thought that it was time to chronologic log the history of these foul beings.

In the last 50 years the Hybrid has seen the world with the intent of interviewing vampires and has learned a bit about the families and has even learned that he is subject to a family though his beloved will not tell him. Prying history from these beings is like pulling fangs but Raven is up for the challenge.
