Enmitic Psionics
Enmitic Psions are those who draw their powers from the strength of their will and their capacity to impose it upon the world and others. They are mostly chaotic individual, with little regard for the usual inclination towards order and structure of the Empaths or the isolation of the Theurges. Enmitics often let their emotions run rampant, fueling their abilities and warping others and the world with their strength of their intent.
Like any Psions, Enmitics are not inherently good or evil, selfless or selfish, what they are first and foremost is passionate. They can be charismatic and magnetic leaders, impassionate defenders, brutal berserkers or hedonistic jokesters, but their emotions always run skin deep, as they are necessary to project their abilities. If they appear taciturn or tired, those are masks that can quickly peel back whenever that which they are passionate about comes into play.
Enmitics are particularly dangerous for empaths, as the overwhelming force of their will and the way in which they encourage a maelstrom of their own emotional state can many times invade and overpower the minds of other Psions. Enmitic Psions are usually specialized in deception and combat, often seeing these things as paths to greater thrills. While they can often understand the need for self-control, it is hard for them to achieve and seldom do they attempt it on a truly deep level.
Enmitic Psions at their best can be valiant, powerful warriors, using a host of psionic abilities to stay in the fight longer than anyone and inflicting retribution and justice upon those who deserve it. At worst, they can become lost in their own emotions and the power they grant them. Like junkies lost in near suicidal thrill seeking, becoming veritable engines of destruction drunk of their own might.
