 x  ➧ CARMEN ORTEGA
x▪ Powers: Empathy, Shield, Clairvoyance, Scrying, Telekinesis, Psychometry
▪ Aura: Marigold orange, high frequency, rose pink contrast, dancing around her like flower petals
▪ Teaches: Basic Braining, Advanced Braining, and Shields
A recent transfer, Miss Ortega is new to the teaching game. Beneath her soft and quiet demeanor lies a steadfast, determined woman who is eager to help all young psychics. As she is still learning how things work at Murmuring Pines and Majesco, Carmen likes to think of herself as being on a similar level to the campers and students; it makes teaching seem far more comfortable. She prefers class to be as painless as possible and tries her best to make each lesson a fun, engaging experience but she can be something of a pushover.  ➧ KASPAR FAUST
x▪ Powers: Invisibility, Telekinesis, Intuition, Precognition, Shield, Astral Projection
▪ Aura: Ochre, high frequency, gold contrast, thin bodily outline with smoke-like plumes around hands and head
▪ Teaches: Marksmanship, Invisibility, Telekinesis, Intuition, Precognition, and Astral Projection
▪ Job: Superior beneath Dean Spektor, Standard scholastic instructor
Don't be late, don't speak if he is speaking, and above all do not disrupt the other students from learning just because you're bored. Instructor Faust is a very serious man who runs on roughly four hours of sleep a day and a constant supply of black coffee. He is blunt and will not hesitate to cut you down if you have a poor attitude or are misbehaving. To be sure, his number of given detentions puts every other instructor to shame, and the work is grueling. Just remember: he wants you to be the best you can be.  ➧ MISS NIGHTSHADE
x▪ Powers: Umbrakinesis, Empathy, Aura Reading, Psychometry, Scrying, Clairvoyance
▪ Aura: Violet, low frequency, magenta contrast, drips from her like dry ice fog and collects around her skirt
▪ Teaches: Levitation, Aura Reading, Psychometry, Scrying, Clairvoyance and Umbrakinesis
Miss Nightshade plays up the mysterious persona quite well during class, living up to her appearance as a veritable queen of the night. Beneath the black cloth and dark atmosphere, you will find she's actually a very sweet lady who is unashamed of her morbid interests. Her classes never start before noon and are typically held in the evenings, taking on a more casual group approach than others. Nightshade invests heavily in group activity, valuing and nurturing kinship among young psychics.  ➧ MONA SINCLAIR
x▪ Powers: Pyrokinesis, Clairaudience, Hypnosis, Invisibility, Shield, Confusion
▪ Aura: Teal, low frequency, hot pink contrast, shoots off of her like sparks
▪ Teaches: Crash Course, Pyrokinesis, Hypnosis, Confusion, Clairaudience
▪ Job: Academy club organizer and Camp arts & crafts supervisor
The youngest instructor on staff, Mona takes it upon herself to act as the bridge between generations separating the teenagers from the adults. A friendly and casual woman, she won't hesitate to offer high fives in the hallway or come up with ridiculous nicknames for literally everyone. Stuck in the 80s hair band mindset, it's difficult for Mona to get with the times in terms of technology. That is to say, if it came out after 1995, she has no idea how to use it. Go to her if you just need someone to chill and rock out with, she's always got time for music and relaxation.

  ➧ BIANCA SPEKTOR
x
▪ Powers: Clairaudience, Psychometry, Telekinesis, Magnokinesis, Astral Projection, Intuition
▪ Aura: Goldenrod, low frequency, red contrast, bodily outline fading in and out with arrowhead shapes
▪ Job: Majesco Academy Dean & Murmuring Pines Scoutmaster, Substitute Teacher
Steadfast and resolute, the facility's resident dean and scoutmaster is a well respected woman with a lot of accomplishments under her belt. Before taking up the position she was a very well known Psychonaut, though in her current position she is more of a dispatcher. Miss Spektor is a calm presence and a smooth talker among the other staff, keeping most in line with plain requests. If any disciplinary action is necessary beyond simple detentions, you'll be reporting right to the head honcho.
 ➧ LACEY MARLBORO
x
▪ Powers: Clairvoyance, Psychometry, Telekinesis, Electrokinesis, Shield, Mind Over Body
▪ Aura: Rust, high frequency, white contrast, wafts slowly like incense smoke
▪ Teaches: Electrokinesis, Mind Over Body
▪ Job: Nurse
With a full infirmary at the academy, a pharmacy on campus, and an RV parked next to the main lodge as a first-aid station, it's easy to see that the facility is well equipped medically. So, then, why does the nurse look and sound like she's smoked three packs a day since she was twelve? Well, she probably has -- she smokes like a chimney. You can find Nurse Lacey at all of these locations or running the facility stores in the main lodge and main office. Don't worry, she's careful about second hand smoke.
 ➧ HUGH MONROE
x
▪ Powers: Hypnosis, Intuition, Empathy, Aura Reading, Chlorokinesis, Animal Telepathy
▪ Aura: Yellow-Green, low frequency, teal contrast, bodily outline with vague flower shapes
▪ Teaches: Empathy, Chlorokinesis, every Kinesis not covered by other instructors
▪ Job: Groundskeeper
If you have some trouble or find yourself lost at the facility, Hugh is the man of the hour. Soft spoken and passive, communicating with him is easy and he never tries to force his help; just know he's there if you need someone to listen. While being the groundskeeper is his official position, he also acts as the resident cook, ranger, Miss Merchant's assistant, and whatever other odd jobs need filling. He does not have a physical office, instead offering folks a small, cozy part of his mind to meet in for optimum privacy.
 ➧ DOOLITTLE
x
▪ Powers: Telepathy & Telekinesis
▪ Aura: Carrot Orange, cadmium contrast, bodily outline
▪ Teaches: Animal Telepathy, Pet Power Fundamentals
▪ Job: Guard Dog, Pet Instructor
While technically not a member of the Psychonauts, Doolittle is a valued member of the faculty. After all, who would be better at teaching humans to speak to animals than a semi-sapient telepathic dog? What's more, if your pet seems to be developing psychic abilities, you can rest assured knowing they'll be in good paws with this dog's instruction on pet power fundamentals.
 ➧ RINA MERCHANT
x
▪ Powers: Psychometry, Clairaudience, Clairvoyance, Electrokinesis, Hypnosis, Confusion
▪ Aura: Coral orange, low frequency, pastel pink contrast; emanating as hearts floating off of her body
▪ Job: Counselor
Hi! It’s Ms. Rina Merchant at your service as the head counselor for both Murmuring Pines and Majesco Academy! Eager, perky, but a little loud, Rina can be a little overwhelming when you meet her out of the office - she’ll want to regale you with long conversations and take your picture for the yearbook. In the office, though, she’s ever the eager listener and considerate of everyone’s individual needs. Her trusty sidekick, a St. Bernard named Croquette, is seen always at her side!
 ➧ CROQUETTE
x
▪ Powers: Psychometry, Hypnosis
▪ Aura: Mint green, tomato red contrast, bodily outline
▪ Job: Counselor's Aide
Fancy a candy? Croquette is the campus’s humble assistant and gentle hand. Whether it’s making sure students are comfortable in their new dorms, or helping campers find their way to the correct bunk, Croquette will help you with anything and everything - unless it’s mealtime, that is!
 ➧ SIN-TAC
x➧ Synthetic Intelligence Network - Transient Artificial Cortex▪ Job: AI for the Underground Headquarters of the Psychonauts, Murmuring Pines division
A not quite well kept secret, the Murmuring Pines HQ is run entirely by computer, the brain of which belongs to SIN-TAC, a conscious Artificial Intelligence. While he is present in every computerized source, student interaction with the AI is often rare and indirect while campers will likely never encounter him. Staff and all Psychonauts operatives work with him extensively, as he's always on the lookout for evidence of psychic terrorism or missions to assign.

  ➧ REESE VAUGHAN
x➧ Played by: Rookeries▪ Powers: Empathy, Aura Reading, Intuition, Hypnosis
▪ Aura: Purple, low frequency, yellow contrast, bodily outline
▪ Mentor: Kaspar Faust
Reese is a teacher's assistant who, upon first glance, appears to be afraid of the very students she's charged with working for. Despite this initially nervous demeanor, Reese is very much the hard-working and model student past the surface, and will sacrifice just about anything if it will help out her fellow Majesco students. So, go ahead: ask her to help you with those puzzling classes, assignments, and projects-- she's there to serve you, so long as you're honest with both your work and your emotions. She can tell when you're not, anyways!  ➧ CHARLOTTE LAMB
x➧ Played by: Ka-ray-zee▪ Powers: Precognition, Psychometry, Aura Reading, Astral Projection
▪ Aura: Robin's Egg Blue, low frequency, Naples yellow contrast, bodily outline
▪ Mentor: Miss Nightshade
Charlotte is a friendly girl who is equally as excited about helping others as she is about learning! Her generally calm demeanor makes for a great study partner, and her enthusiasm when seeing others succeed will surprise those who have not worked with her before. Her relaxed teaching style and positive feedback make for a comfortable environment, but her willingness to offer up productive criticism helps get the work done right! So feel free to approach her any time, whether for a casual study session or if you need help with an assignment that you cant wrap your head around! Just keep in mind you may have a crow watching over your shoulder as well.

  ➧ CULVER PINKERTON
x➧ Played by: Rookeries▪ Powers: Animal Telepathy (Crows), Hydrokinesis, Telekinesis, Shield, Mind Over Body, Precognition
▪ Aura: Red, high frequency, Columbia blue contrast, resonates around his head like a halo
Agent Pinkerton is a very calm man. As a Psychonaut who was introduced officially to the psychics business rather late into his life, he has a lot to live up to in comparison to the young progeny present at both Murmuring Pines and Majesco Academy. In that light, the way he composes himself is entirely deliberate, from his mannerisms, style of dress, and word choice. One thing he can't seem to hide, however, is his legion of thirty crows and the passion he has for his current project, which he believes may reinvent society.  ➧ ALICE MOON
x
▪ Powers: Animal Telepathy, Shield, Psychometry, Clairvoyance, Telekinesis, Scrying
▪ Aura: Powder Blue, high frequency, lavender contrast, bodily outline rising off of her like bubbles
A rookie agent fresh from HQ, Alice Moon is the lowest ranking operative on site. Nearly being transferred to Whispering Rock, she was instead pushed to Murmuring Pines due to its low number of resident agents. Most often she can be found in the academy library when not following her superiors around, carrying out orders, fetching coffee, organizing files, doing paperwork, research, or generally being a "yes man".  ➧ LUCIEN TALBOT
▪ Powers: Psychometry, Empathy, Intuition, Confusion, Umbrakinesis, Clairaudience
▪ Aura: Tyrian Purple, high frequency, crimson contrast, scrawling filigree patterns around his head, arms, and torso
A former agent of INTERPOL, Lucien has a fairly eclectic background of investigations, having skills in journalism and forensic science. He became an operative of the Psychonauts nearly ten years ago and moved from the United Kingdom to the United States in half that time. Lucien has a keen interest and well developed knowledge about psitanium and he is studying its affects on non-psychics very closely. The man is one of few words and generally keeps to himself, away from students, though can sometimes be found wandering the academy or camp grounds after dark gathering arrowheads.

 ➧ LILI ZANOTTO
▪ Powers: Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, Shield, Invisibility, Confusion, Clairvoyance
▪ Job: President & Chairman of the Psychonauts
Daughter of the previous Psychonauts president, Truman Zanotto, Lili has been trained and conditioned for this position for most of her life. She stays busy heading the main HQ on the East Coast of the US, issuing orders and communique to the Whispering Rock and Murmuring Pines HQs. While the likelihood of meeting with Ms. Zanotto in person is extremely low, her influence among the Psychonauts is a constant presence. x xPsychic NPCs who do not fit into other categories and may occasionally hold assemblies, seminars, or events at the camp or academy.  ➧ GERALD JULY
▪ Powers: Geokinesis, Magnokinesis, Psychometry, Intuition, Shield, Mind Over Body
▪ Job: Speaker at Majesco Academy
Mister July retired as a Psychonaut at age 40, then pursued a salad of careers afterward. His focus on studying kineses as an agent has supplemented his jobs in engineering, land surveying, and even travel and rock climbing. As a result of his experiences, Gerald is more than eager to teach Majesco students about the practicality of psychic powers in everyday life, applied kineses, and... well, the importance of health and extreme sports.
(He has been trying to schedule an all-school Majesco rock climbing trip for two years.)  ➧ ASHER EATON
x▪ Powers: Shield, Invisibility, Clairvoyance, Confusion, Telekinesis, Empathy
▪ Aura: Navy blue, low frequency, Seafoam green contrast, a fluid outline like moving waves
The previous Basic and Advanced Braining instructor at Murmuring Pines and Majesco Academy, Asher was recently reassigned back to Psychonauts HQ for missions. Despite his laid-back attitude and love for cheesy old horror movies, he doesn't fool around when it comes to work and he expects the same out of his partners. He considers himself good friends with all of the staff and may visit on site occasionally during down time between assignments.  ➧ SAERA LOGAN
▪ Powers: Umbrakinesis, Telekinesis, Invisibility, Confusion, Clairvoyance, Scrying
▪ Job: Career counselor/recruiter for Hidden Ridge Institute (a psychic-friendly trade school located in the Pacific Northwest); guest speaker at Majesco Academy and Murmuring Pines
Saera Logan grew up on the streets after bouncing between foster homes and running away, where she was using her developing psychic abilities to cheat tourists out of their cash and food. It was lucky for her that the officer that picked her up was also a psychic, who took it upon himself to get the girl on track with her training and education - and make a turn around, she did. While she never made it to full Psychonaut status, Saera turned her attention towards social work, trying to find a way to marry that with her psychic abilities. As such, she is very passionate about helping disenfranchised young psychics find their footing in the workplace, and was drawn to Hidden Ridge Institute immediately. She has a plethora of resources and pamphlets at the ready, as well as a number of pre-arranged inspirational speeches that may or may not sound incredibly Hollywood.
