By then, he had acquired a synthetic Evolved ability and nearly a decade of paramilitary training. In order to come back in time, he had to kill some friends, steal a couple of bodies, and exploit those who mistook him for his alter-ego, except of course, that some of that was clearly optional.

Background

Psych Profile

For all intents and purposes, a sociopath. It's hard for the ghost to come up with intentions or purposes that would actually require having a soul.

Evolved Ability

According to Pinehearst's databanks, Teo was a synthetic Evolved with basic telepathic capabilities. In reality, he had not explored the full extent of his ability when tests were originally run and chose not to update his 'Registration' with the true nature of his gift. He is an astral projectionist. A vague stunt list is as follows:

• Telepathic blast, overall effect of a tazer (Off With Her Head);
• Reading visual and auditory stimulus through nearby human minds. In other words, he can see what you're seeing and hear what you're hearing, but he has no idea what you're thinking (And Lethe Sings Reminisce);
• Dream-walking and manipulation (If I Die Before I Wake);
• Access to the passive/receptive feedback of his targets' Evolved abilities. Ie., sonar hearing, if not projection, and uncontrolled access to Tamara's madness-inducing precognitive perceptions (Attaboy);

My loneliness is crowded
So full of nostalgia
and of faces of you
of long-ago goodbyes
and of welcoming kisses
of taking off
and of being left behind
it's so crowded that I can organize it
like a procession
by color, size and promises
by period
by sense of touch
and taste
My hands tremble no longer
to reach and embrace your absence
Which attends, and assists me
with this, my face of you
I am full of shadows
of nights
and desires
of laughter
and even of a curse
My guests gather
They gather around like dreams
with their new animosities
and their lack of candor,
So I block the door to exorcise them
Because I want to be alone
with this, my face of you
But this face of yours turns to look away
With loving eyes, no longer loving,
Like food searching for its hunger
Endlessly
They search and search
And extinguish my day.
The walls go away
The night remains
Nostalgia goes away
Nothing remains.
My face of you closes its eyes
And it's such a desolate loneliness.
