		Lanis Rosenberg Age: 22 Psychic abilities: Foreseeing events and her mysterious 'Spectre' abilities. When Lanis was just a young girl, her family was involved in a serious car accident resulting in the death of both parents. This incident also placed her older sister Cera into a coma for many weeks until she was miraculously awoken by Lanis' strange powers, which had been lying dormant until that point. Because of this incident, the scientists of LINEAR have taken a keen interest in her and prompted Lanis to join LINEAR where she is currently completing her third and final year of field service whilst studying to become a military doctor. Personality wise, Lanis comes across as reserved yet stubborn, and despite being a brilliant scholar she can also be quite lazy. Even after three years in LINEAR, she still has no control over her abilities and feels that she is forever struggling to keep up with everyone around her. Despite her usually docile temperament, she has been known to display passive-aggressive behaviour in situations she isn't comfortable with.
		Ash (Unit: A-28) Common name: Ash Silhouette series: A-Series Psychic abilities: Discharge & manipulate electricity. Ash was assigned to Lanis' team along with Dianne (D-13). Unlike his fellow Silhouette teammate though, Ash's personality is devoid of emotion which often causes him to come across as hostile. This is due to the fact that the personas of the early A-Series Silhouettes weren't very refined and lacked the ability to emulate human behaviour. Unknown to Lanis, Ash is working under specialised programming from Prof. Simon Gillespie to obtain information on her abilities while on the field. This raises concerns on whom his real loyalties lie with...
		Dianne (Unit: D-13) Common name: Dianne Silhouette series: D-Series Psychic abilities: Psychokinesis Dianne was assigned to Lanis' team along with Ash (A-28). She is a part of the more recent D-Series Silhouettes, which were designed to mimic human behaviour more convincingly than the previous models. Because of this, Dianne displays a calm and eerily friendly personality when she associates with humans. Dianne's abilities enable her to manipulate inanimate objects, moving or bending them to her will.
		Grey (Unit: Ghost) Common name: Grey Silhouette series: ??? Psychic abilities: Mind Control A mysterious and unpredictable Silhouette that is kept under close guard in the lower levels of the Janus laboratory. He is isolated and held in a high security cell, but despite his predicament Grey sports an oddly cheerful disposition. Little else is known about him.
		Prof. Simon Gillespie Age: 43 Psychic abilities: Psychokinesis Dr Gillespie is the leading scientist at LINEAR and the head co-ordinator of the Silhouette Project. Calm, calculated and somewhat arrogant, he is obsessively absorbed in his work and will do anything to achieve his goals, no matter the costs. Even though he possesses some negative personality quirks, he is regarded as one of the most brilliant scientists of his time and is looked up to by many fellow doctors. Dr Gillespie also holds a keen interest in the mysterious powers that lay within Lanis. Having lost his Fiancée while they were both serving in the Loenn military, he recklessly pushes the boundaries of science in order to perfect the Silhouettes so humans are no longer needed to risk their lives on the battlefield. Ironically, for a man at the cutting edge of science and psychic biological engineering, Simon harbours no powerful Psychic abilities himself. He does however, possess the ability to levitate and move small objects but rarely utilises this skill due to the mental strain.
		Dr. Kellie Harem Age: 38 Psychic abilities: Aural perception. Dr. Kellie Harem works alongside Prof. Simon Gillespie on the Silhouette Project. Having worked together from the very beginning of her career, Kellie holds much respect for Simon as a fellow scientist, but dislikes him as a person. At first glance, Dr. Harem appears cold, distant and completely absorbed in her work. However, when she manages to get away from the laboratory, she's surprisingly laidback and amiable. She possesses rather ineffectual psychic abilities, yet is an outstanding scientist who even keeps up with the work of Prof. Gillespie. Kellie is currently training Lanis on a part-time basis to become her assistant, and one day take her place on LINEAR's medical research team. She possesses mixed emotions towards the Silhouette Project.
		Manna Farneigh Age: 24 Psychic abilities: Telepathy. Manna is a third-year field soldier of LINEAR, and was inducted into the military at the same time as Lanis. They began their career working on the same team. However, they have since been allocated to different squads over the past year. Manna grew up in a relatively poor village located in the arid grasslands of central Loenn. In her mid teens, Manna was mis-diagnosed with Schizophrenia, as she would often comment that she heard quiet and indistinguishable whispers in her head. After seeking a second opinion, it was soon discovered that she had the beginnings of a dormant psychic ability of hearing thoughts. Manna joined LINEAR soon after this revelation. She has since learnt to hone her telepathic gift, and most importantly, how to block out the whispers or concentrate on them when required. Even though Manna and Lanis no longer work together, the girls have remained very close friends over the past few years and up until recently have been sharing a room. Unlike Lanis though, Manna is physically gifted and is a natural in combat but lacks in more studious fields.
		Princess Isabu Ishrah (pronounced: EYE - SA - BU) Age: 29 Psychic abilities: Immunity The missing princess from the neighbouring nation of Strada. Middle child of the Stradan royal family, Princess Isabu has been hailed as the 'holy grail' of her people. A strange gift from birth, Isabu is completely immune to the effects of psychic powers. In a nation full of anti-psychic inhabitants, it's quite ironic that this 'ability' could indeed be considered a psychic power in itself. However the general populous do not see it this way, claiming that she was sent by god with the power to relieve them of their neighbours to the east. Her disappearance is said to be one of the major disputes between the two nations, since Strada claim that she was kidnapped by Loenn militants in reply to a terrorist attack from their own anti-psychic extremists.
		Cera Thurston Age: 27 Psychic abilities: Nothing noteworthy. After a car accident that killed both parents and placed Cera into a coma, her and Lanis had been living with their grandmother until they were old enough to go their separate ways. Unlike her younger sister, Cera does not possess anything discernable in the way of psychic abilities. Although she has been known to have prophetic dreams on a rare occasion. Cera currently works as an accountant and has recently married a man named Andrew Thurston. She sports a confident and professional personality, and is opposite to her sibling is almost every way. Due to what they have been through together, both women still try and find time for each other in their busy schedules and maintain a close relationship.
		Echidna (Unit: Prototype) (pronounced: EE - KID - NAH) Common name: Echidna Silhouette series: Prototype Psychic abilities: ??? Echidna was the prototype model for the Silhouette Project, but unlike the current Silhouettes, she possessed emotions and a much more human persona. Since Echidna did not possess a limiter, she was able to access her powers at their full potential without the use of the Accelerator drug. This had some drawbacks though, the major one being the massive amount of stress it placed on the brain. A drug known as Fulcrum was created in order to keep these powers in check and lower the risks of hemorrhaging. Because of these factors, Echidna was a in perpetual pain as her body fought to maintain balance between her surging powers and the drugs used to control them. The project was aborted and Echidna was placed into an induced coma with her body being lightly frozen via Vitrification methods and used as a basis for future Silhouettes.
