The Awakened
Overview
The Awakened are found in First Ward content.
Background
The Awakened are a loosely organized group of ex-Seers who, for various reasons, either never made it through the training or were cast out of the Seer Network due to aberrant behavior.
Villain Types
Minions
Astral Projection
This seems to be a projection of a powerful member of the Awakened. You are unable to see the fully tangible Awakened, but you are certain it is nearby.
Powers
- Psychic Dart
- Summon Conduit
Burnout
Burnouts are Seers whose psychic powers never came under their control. This makes them quite dangerous, as their instability would have the potential to spread to otherwise functional Seers. This caused the Burnouts to be cast out of the Seer program.
Powers
- Subdue
- Psychic Blast
- Psionic Dart
Psychotic
Psychotics are psychics who couldn't handle even the early stages of Mother Mayhem's 'training'. They've gone completely crazy and are utterly without fear. Though most of their psychic abilities have dissipated, what is left has mutated them into violent attackers who concentrate their last remaining energy into attacks which manifest physical pain in their targets.
Powers
- Psionic Break
- Psychic Roar
- Psionic Dart
Lieutenants
Conduit
Conduits were once psychics or Seers who, unlike the Burnouts, managed to gain control of their power, but whose bodies couldn't completely handle the energy resulting from such control. This results in psionic energy continuously coursing over their body. Conduits retain enough control over their power to use it to provide beneficial effects to others like them and to confront any who challenge them.

Oppressor
Oppressors are powerful and vengeful psychics who revel in enslaving lesser minds to their own. Close proximity to an Oppressor will cause short bouts of confusion in most subjects as their mind is slowly siphoned away and replaced with that of the Oppressor's. Their rage at being contained within the Seer Network has manifestation of corrupted flesh that wracks their bodies, resulting in their subsequent removal from the Network for safety reasons. Oppressors are thus without use in Praetoria, as the dangerous side-effects of prolonged exposure to the Seer network prevent them from remaining safely bound to it, and their desire to enslave the will of others makes them unfit for duty elsewhere.

Mindstorm
Once one of the more strong-willed and keenly focused of Mother Mayhem's test subjects, a Mindstorm is a barely contained maelstrom of psychic energy. So powerful was their resistance to Mother Mayhem's experiments that it manifested as an energetic storm consuming their body. Now, held together only by her force of will and concentration, the Mindstorm's body is wracked by a crackling, unceasing surge of energy. Unlike the Subjugator, most of the corruption has manifested across their body, as their minds are still largely intact. This enables the Mindstorm to control and even direct the tremendous psychic power at their disposal to achieve devastating results.
Powers
- Frazzle
- Mass Levitate
- Psychic Scream
- Psionic Lightning
- Psionic Tornado

Subjugator
The Subjugator was once a Seer of immense power, used to suppress and control the minds of others. Even within the Seer program, the Subjugator could impose her will on other Seers. However, in some, this power caused tumors to take root in their brain. The more a Subjugator used her powers, the worse these tumors became, eventually growing to consume the Seer's head. Now, even though this Subjugator has become a grotesque monster, her power has grown even greater than it was when she was still human.
