Background

Psych Profile

Evolved Ability

Due to the tasks required as a member of the Vanguard, Logan's ability has developed in two key ways.

Negation

The most important trick he can do comes in the form of forcibly negating an Evolved's abilities - or more accurately, suppressing them. Logan cannot create a field of negation and has to actively concentrate on the target in order to activate this. Logan is able to negate an Evolved by manipulating their biological chemistry into switching it off for as long as his concentration lasts. As a side effect, the targeted Evolved will also feel calm (not full out sedated, just calm) and not inclined to respond to situations with the fight-or-flight instinct that is produced by norepinephrine and epinephrine.

The limits of this trick are aura-related, although he can only target one person at a time, and distance is a factor. Logan needs to be able to see someone to psychicly pick up on their biochemistry, and the maximum range is something like 30 feet. The closer he is, the quicker this ability can take into effect. At several feet away, the effect is fractionally instantaneous. At his maximum, it may take several seconds.

Amplification

By reversing this function, Logan can manipulate an Evo's biochemistry into a sudden, powerful rush of ability amplification. This is often not sustained, manifesting as an instantaneous, uncontrolled expression of power. Used mainly to rat out hidden Evolved, or tactically in a battle. Sustained use of this power is not impossible but will result in Logan losing out his stamina, depending on the circumstance.

His maximum range of 30 feet.

Biochemical Radar

Logan can pick up on the biochemical-related details of a person or people within a range of about 50 feet. The information he gets is not spacial, i.e., he can't tell if someone is standing one foot behind him or fifty feet in front of him behind a bush, but he can determine how many individuals are in range.

'Biochemical related details', specifically, includes roughly deducing whether someone is panicked, excited, operated under heavy medications, and so on, and also that they're even there. This power is not always on, but if Logan is in a crowd of people, it starts to activate without his control, and he has to concentrate to shut it down.
