Natural Psi-Powers:

Healing: Anastasia can, on touch, heal any injuries to herself or others. She has this power at intensity 13, which allows her to heal as follows: NPCs receive an amount of health equal to this power intensity (up to their normal maximum), and PCs draw cards until they receive a number of 'points' equal to or exceeding this power intensity. Anastasia has developed this power stunt:

* Cure Disease: Anastasia can also cleanse a body of disease, whether it be of a bacterial or viral sort. She does this at intensity 13 as well, and this succeeds if Anastasia can pass an average difficulty cure disease action opposed by the intensity of the disease (or the affliction power that put it there).

Limitation: oddly enough, the extreme use of her healing powers has a stressful effect upon Anastasia's bodily systems. If she has to heal a person more than once within a twenty-four hour period, she should draw a card; if the aura result is negative, she will lose one card (or four health points, if she is an NPC). She should do this every time she heals a person after the first.

This damage lasts until it can be recovered normally.

Trained Psi-Powers:

Gestalt: Anastasia, along with the rest of the original members of Psi-Force, was taught how to create a powerful being by combining her psychic essence with that of several other psionic individuals; she could do this at intensity 5. Once this power was initiated, the Psi-Hawk would manifest over the bodies of the concentrating psis, using their combined powers and knowledge.

Anastasia had this power stunt with the Gestalt power:

* Mind Shift: originally, the Psi-Hawk was portrayed as some sort of spectral, other-worldly entity. However, it was revealed that the Hawk was simply an amalgamation of the minds that concentrated upon bringing it into existence. Though all of the people that formed it controlled it at once, one person could take charge if they needed to. See the specific Psi-Hawk entry for more information on this.

Hindrances:

Naive: Anastasia believed that she had to help others with her healing powers, that this was her responsibility. Of course, several unscrpulous people managed to take advantage of this personality trait, though she never realized it until it was too late... In game terms, she makes (and defends against) surprise attacks as if her applicable ability scores were zero.

Skills:

Languages / English and Russian: though she hasn't demonstrated any other useful skills to date, it is known that Anastasia can speak both of these languages fluently (she was raised doing so).

Calling:

Responsibility of Power: Anastasia dislikes her powers, since they have put her through so much of a hassle. However, she feels that it is her duty to heal folks that need it, even if they were enemies just moments before. Of course, she won't put somebody back together if they're likely to hurt her...

Costume:

Black pants, black leather jacket with stylized red hawk head on front, and a gray scarf.

Personality:

When she first arrived in America with Emmett Proudhawk, Anastasia was a shy, introverted wreck. However, she's quickly evolved into a rather resourceful and strong-willed young woman, more than willing to give her very life for the people she cares for (and she did).

Story:

Born in the Soviet Union, Anastasia Inyushin always loved plants. At an early age, she seemed to demonstrate a sort of 'green' thumb, able to make any plant healthy. Her parents feared the K.G.B. would discover this, and sent her to America to protect her.

She lived with her aunt and uncle, but they were mysteriously killed in a car wreck. When she got back to Russia, Anastasia found out that her parents were dead, too. The K.G.B. offered to protect her, though it wasn't really an offer, and they sent her to the Siberian Project.

This facility was used to study paranormal powers, abilities that the people within had to little effect until the White Event, where Anastasia first demonstrated her healing powers. This made her the center of attention there, until Emmett Proudhawk rescued her from the place.

She went with him to America, joining up with Psi-Force soon after. Though Emmett died quickly afterward, he was able to show the kids how to merge their psyches into the Psi-Hawk, a gestalt being made from the combined essences of the five psionic teens.

Anastasia stuck with the group for over a year, though she fell victim to several folks wishing to take advantage of her healing powers and her innate desire to help people with them. This was until Rodstvow blew up Psi-Force's home, splitting the team up.

She fled with both Kathy Ling and Thomas Boyd, who eventually got caught by the Medusa Web, an international paranormal bounty hunter outfit, for the U.S. government. However, the rest of Psi-Force came to her rescue, though the team got mowed down by U.S. army soldiers right afterward.

Knowing she was dying, Anastasia tried to heal the rest of the team before she did so. To her credit, she managed to patch up the entire team before her death, which occurred right before Psi-Force's part in the veritable destruction of Washington D.C.
