## Physical Description

### Angelica Turing: 1967 - 1987

Angelica was born and raised in Chicago. She was always a considerably intelligent girl and earned a scholarship to attend Redwood University. During her second year away at university, much of her hometown and the entirety of her family were obliterated in the intrinsic explosion that came to be known as the Manhattaning. Following this devastating loss, Angelica poured herself into her studies as a way of adding purpose to her life.

### Angelica Turing: 1987 - 1993

Using the money she inherited from her family, Angelica bought a luxurious cabin in the forests outside of Star City, Oregon. Studying ecology, she often used the cabin as her residence between semesters. As she neared completion of her doctoral dissertation, Angelica had a psionic awakening that opened her eyes to several new perspectives as she was now connected to six others — including Jonas Maliki, with whom she almost immediately began an intimate relationship.

### Angelica Turing: 1993 - 2015

Viewing her sensate cluster as her new family, Angelica became very interested in applying her studies toward better understanding the sensate condition. Many in her cluster were skeptical of Angelica's intentions and withdrew from her efforts to unite them. With the exception of Jonas Maliki, Angelica's cluster shut her out.

When her efforts with Jonas were stymied, Angelica found a new way to study the sensate condition. Becoming a patron of a new cluster of sensates, Angelica became a conduit for the psionic awakening of seven new sensates. Though most of their own cluster had continued to isolate themselves from each other, Angelica and Jonas brought the new sensates together from the onset.

Despite the love and support Angelica offered her sensate children, there was one among them Todd McCarver, who was deeply troubled and resented being 'freak'. When Todd abandoned his cluster to seek out experimental methods to 'undo' what he had become, Angelica went after him — intent to stop him from doing anything drastic. When Todd disappeared mysteriously, only to turn up several years later as the culprit behind a mass shooting, Angelica and Todd's cluster were in shock.

At the time, Angelica was unable to visit Todd using her sensate abilities. Though Todd could have cut ties with his clustermates, Angelica was skeptical he had already developed a technique to shut out his sensate mother. Determined to get to the bottom of this and the mystery of Todd's motive, Angelica used her credentials as a scientific researcher to gain access to Arkham Asylum where Todd was being held. Angelica soon discovered that Todd has been a victim of experimental brain surgery that had left him mostly catatonic and without his powers.

As Angelica made the grisly discovery, Jonas made another when he gained access to the surveillance footage at Arkham and found that one of their clustermates visited Todd. Unnerved by this revelation, Angelica and Jonas investigated and found him operating under the name Dr. Ellison — a consulting physician for Arkham.

Though Jonas was against it, but Angelica chose to confront their clustermate and gave him a change to explain. Angelica met with "Ellison" and was caught off-guard by his unnaturally amplified psionic abilities. Falling under his spell, Angelica was subdued, captured, and tortured. In her weakened state, Angelica was complied to give up her sensate children. During the course of her capture, Angelica learned "Ellison" had killed and 'cannibalized' two members of their cluster — adding their own power to his and transforming them into living zombies under his command. He was also responsible for Todd and was intent to do the same to Angelica.

Once he had gathered the information he needed from her, Ellison began to cannibalize Angelica — but the timely distraction triggered by Jonas allowed Angelica an opportunity to escape... for a short time. Ellison (or "Whispers" as he is now known among sensates) caught up to Angelica, but not before she was able to help activate another cluster of sensates — with the hope they'd finish what she started.

After appearing to her newborn cluster, Angelica dissapeared.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Psionic Metahuman Physiology:** Angelica is a metahuman with psionic abilities connected to the psionic intrinsic field as the Od (also known as the Dreaming). To be specific, Angelica belongs to a sub-class of psychic known as a sensate.
	+ ***Astral Visitation:*** Angelica can project a portion of her consciousness in the vicinity of another sensate (whether one belonging to her cluster or one with which she had her physical contact previously. This astral projection is tuned specifically to the senses of sensates and may require additional focus to be noticed by other psionics and other supernatural beings.
		- ***Bilocation:*** Angelica is practiced enough with her astral visitation that she project her consciousness into several sensates' location simultaneously without becoming distracted of overwhelmed. While meditating, Angelica is able to easily maintain eight concurrent visitations. While remaining aware of her own local environment, Angelica can maintain two visits. Finally, Angelica is also capable to project a portion of her consciousness into her own vicinity in order to discreetly communicate with visitors without having to disrupt her physical activity or draw attention to herself.
	+ ***Biopathy:*** With prolonged touch, Angelica can scan a biological organism to detect injuries, illnesses, and abnormalities in their body.
	+ ***Chloropathy:*** Angelica can communicate with all forms of plant-life- She has no ability to alter or control the plant-life, but can gather insightful information. Flora also detect that she is a friend and may warn of danger or local disruptions.
	+ ***Sensory Empathy:*** Angelica can share her senses, emotions, thoughts, and memories with other sensates — particularly those that belong to her sensate cluster or any of the two cluster of sensates she birthed [see 8888 Cluster].
	+ ***Supernatural Senses:*** Angelica is able to see, hear and interact with beings on the astral plane — particularly sensates, but also ephemeral entities, and invisible spirits such as ghosts. She is also sensitive to intrinsic and psychic phenomenal.
	+ ***Telepathic Sharing:*** Angelica can share her knowledge, languages, skills, talents, and even her psychic abilities with sensates from her cluster (such as Jonas Maliki). These same sensates can share their abilities with Angelica. For the transfer of skills, talents, and psychic abilities, Angelica must visit and possess the receiving sensate or allow herself to be possessed by the projecting sensate why they are visiting her.
* **Ecologist:** Angelica is a very accomplished ecologist. She has written several scientific journals on the subject and is highly regarded by her peers in the field. In the course of her research, Angelica has also become an expert mycologist, botanist, biologist, geologist, and all-around scientist. She has shown herself able to concoct complex chemicals that can amplify and block sensate activity when ingested/injected.
* **Women of STEM:** Though her primary specialty is science, Angelica is also quite comfortable with most disciplines pertaining to technology, engineering, and mathematics. With the right tools, materials, and plenty of time, Angelica can be an exceptional inventor.

### Weaknesses

* **Burden Bearing:** When a clustermate is overwhelmed with intense pain beyond their will to endure, the excess of pain may ripple out and flood over the rest of the cluster, resulting in intense phantom pain matching that felt by their clustermate.
* **Haunted:** Angelica is still connected to her deceased clustermates. Visits from them can fill her with survivor's guilt and dread, often triggering her PTSD.
* **Migraines:** Angelica, like most psionics, suffers from severe migraines.
* **PTSD:** Angelica suffers from multiple previous traumatic events surrounding her own torture and the deaths of her sensate children. Events can trigger her episodes that cause her to have a mental shutdown, breakdown, or volatile reaction.
* **Vulnerability — Electricity:** Angelica has bad reaction to electricity. Electric shock overstimulates the psychelium nervous system of most sensates that induces severe pain and seizures — often with violent coughing of blood and bloody noses.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* She's enemies with Whispers and Checkmate.
* Jonas would often travel across the globe eager to help Angelica learn more about their sensate nature. He found other sensates and brought back knowledge to share with Angelica, including the process for activating other sensates. Though sensates of any gender can facilitate the birth of sensates, Jonas' knowledge made him the better midwife and it was agreed Angelica would be the one awaken a new cluster of seven freshly-minted sensates in the early 2000s. Jonas bought the cluster to Angelica's cabin and used his inheritance to finance the creation of a humble commune in the forest. However, not all of Angelica's children were eager to accept their sensate nature. Todd McCarver abandoned his cluster and his sensate mother. Jonas tried to keep tabs on Todd during his travels, but one day Jonas found that Todd had simply vanished.
* She was taken by Whispers and his men after he found her in a church.
