Appearance: Mystic was a lightly-built teenage Caucasian, with long and straight black hair and brown eyes. She tended toward jeans and loose-fitting tops. She occasionally had the habit of looking past people when talking to them...or even just observing them.

Known powers: The only powers that were attributed to Mystic were abilities to read others' thoughts, to speak with them mentally, and to lash out with a mental strike of some sort. In addition, it was noticed during her examination in the Denver Rashoud Facility that use of quantum-based powers occasionally did not work in her presence.

History: Melinda was a fairly bright, normal teenager growing up in a middle-class home in the suburbs of Denver....right up until she found that she could hear people thinking. Her parents, initially delighted at the prospect of a nova daughter, took her to the nearest Rashoud Facility...when tests showed that she did not possess a discernable M/R node, active or otherwise.

Spooked by the reaction at the Rashoud Facility and by vaguely threatening thoughts unwittingly exposed to her by the attending physician, she ran from the facility, and went on the run. She knew that Project Utopia was still trying to find her, but was very careful to stay on the move.

For reasons unknown, it appears that Mystic lured the Terat known as Long into a fight in the Colorado Rockies on 15 August 2005. Apparently, Long not only killed the girl, but effectively disintegrated her, leaving only trace residue behind.

OOC Note: While the doctors at the Facility knew that this meant they were to follow a rarely used "Pandora protocol," they did not know what this meant -- that Melinda (or Mystic, as she would call herself) was a Psiad. Mystic - who later took on the identity of Thoughtwave, who became Ptesan-Wi - currently believes that she is an "anti-nova", based on informatin given to her by Alchemist.
