===== Psionic Academists ===== Believers in and practitioners of telepathy, mind-reading, prescience, telekinesis, astral projections and superior brain powers, this influential group formed a Space Academy, an utopian government and even some kind of religion of their own. Considered a sect, they are also despised by most as pure intellectuals and privileged people who refuse to get their hands dirty. They are extremely **Open Minded** and have great **Empathy** but have worked so hard on their mental aspects that they are **Slow** and somewhat **Clumsy**. Their **Academist** and **Psionic** training has offset this, however, giving each of them several **Mentalist** skills.
