lol, now I'm being relied upon as a source of knowledge.

Hee.

'Sok, I enjoy that, actually.

Um, Terri got it all correct, except that it's spelled "psionic" lol. And that covers a lot of ground... ..Emma was a telempath, an empath who could also manipulate others' emotions. Actually, she could do a hell of a lot more than that, but that's a whole 'nother story...

Shalimar being a feral means she has animalistic attributes, in her case, feline. Agility, strength, senses, etc.

And Adam, although human, was/is among the top ten most intelligent scientists in the world.

And Terri, I LOVED this one!! I'd forgotten what a flair for dramatic tension you have!

I hope mine ends up half as good, you were advertising, now people are expecting/searching... meep!
