"Zealot"
Details
Zealot is a seemingly young hylotl woman, clad in skin tones of deep, marsh green and grey. Built lithely and lightly muscled, she seems beyond her years in knowledge- Notable by the deep, opaque grey eyes put upon her face. Her hands are run through with strange colors, almost different flesh altogether, unlike her near-perfect skin in other places. She tends to dress in light robes, built out of ramshackle and torn bits of animal leather, netting, and old raincoat rubber of various shades of black and brown. Piercing the backs of her forearms and fins rattles half-dollar sized iron rings on which simple colored beads rest, inlaid with several runes of unknown respect. The same runes can be found tattooed along her stomach, along the fingers, and woven throughout her arms and legs in delicate flavors of a strange iridescent black.
Defensive Equipment
Robes-
Though not exactly the best armor, the robes are of solid construct- Leather blocking small blades and darts and the thick rubber soaking in whatever means of electrical damage comes her way to an extent. Though providing some means of absorbing blunt damage, due to her general frailty, it is generally negligible.
Rings-
Though somewhat noisy, these rings can take a small bit of damage before bending beneath force- Allowing her to perhaps slide off of a blow that would've otherwise severed a hand.
Offensive Equipment
Knives-
Strapped along the woman's hip rest a set of three, blackened knives, decorated with runes along the blade. They are as follows:
Abilities
Rewrite
Since a young age, Zealot has been attuned with her psionic ability, which she refers to as 'rewriting' someone, though her ability would be defined as 'psionic manipulation'. Through this, she is able to manipulate psion's core strength- The power itself. She is able to channel the ability through her eyes, as clouded as they may be.
Clear Clouds
Due to her cloudy eyes, Zealot cannot see most things very well- However, psionic abilities, and the wake they cause, can be seen extremely clearly for her. Through this, psions that use their abilities around her are able to be seen clearly, though only for a minute or two after they use their ability.
Copy
Through her ability, Zealot is able to see into the genes of another psion once they're identified to be one, and parse out the source of their ability. Once done, she can then modify the casting limb used to channel the target's ability to be able to use said ability. However, this comes with several drawbacks, being that the ability gained is also reflected in the mutations gained when copying someone. Secondly, this also takes three turns to successfully parse out the info, and two to modify her genetic structure. Third, she can only have on ability at a time; However, whatever mutations are copied stay there permanently.
Paste
Additionally, Zealot can use her ability to write-over someone's psionic potential with her own, though this comes with a few conditions and consequences. Firstly, to perform the ability, Zealot must have an extended period of time to do so- Usually three days or above. During this time, the target must be in a static position, and cannot leave a five meter radius of her, else the process must be started again. Additionally, because of the amount of strain it puts on her body, Zealot will be rendered comatose for a day after the act, completely defenseless. Should this be successful, her ability will be copied over onto the person- Giving them the same cloudy eyes she possesses. Obviously, this also destroys the other's natural ability. This only works on psions. Also requires consent. Duh.

Offensive Equipment
Knives-
Strapped along the woman's hip rest a set of three, blackened knives, decorated with runes along the blade. They are as follows:
- Snake- The first knife is a simple icepick, ebony hilt hosting a blackened steel blade. Designed to pierce light armor, this knife also hosts a internal well- Allowing for easy application of poisons, though she has none at the moment.
- Wolf- A longer, curved blade with a intricately detailed edge. Being a basic knife, it's only designed function is to cut- And it does it well, with a deadly sharp blade.
- Wildcat- More or less a broken dirk, the wildcat still retains a sharp edge, though not of it's own. The blade of this weapon is made of sharpened claws and serrated teeth. Through this, the knife doesn't mean to cut, rather to bleed and cause deep, jagged cuts. Occasionally, some chunks of bone may also dislodge themselves into the target.
