Shalice Tilman is the most powerful psychic in the world and the pioneer behind the revolutionary Seer Project. Known throughout the Praetorian Empire as Mother, Tilman devoted her life to taking care of others. When a freak accident involving an unstable psychic killed Shalice Tilman, the world mourned her death. Courageously, her colleague, Aurora Borealis, took Shalice's consciousness into her own, saving the woman beloved throughout the world.

Together the two women can do more to help the world than they ever could apart. With their psychic powers combined, Mother has saved the lives of countless psychics, helping them to become Seers. In turn, these Seers help prevent crime by detecting criminal intent and alerting the authorities before harm can be done. Under Mother's loving eye Praetoria remains a utopia: safe, secure, and pure of thought.

Full History

Born during the Hamidon Wars, Shalice Tilman had tremendous innate mental powers. The sheer volume of refugees crammed into the confines of Praetoria City left Shalice, a telepath, a very confused young girl. At first, she was checked into a hospital, but it didn't take long for the doctors there to discover that she had a psychic gift. They sent young Shalice to a government-run facility for the gifted where she would learn to use her powers in the ongoing war against the Devouring Earth.

The war would end before Shalice was ready to join the Praetorian Guard. She had already earned a nickname among the staff for her particularly potent telekinetic powers: Little Miss Mayhem. When President Cole was elected emperor and dissolved the old governments, Shalice knew that he would need strong allies in the years to come, and she wanted to be one of them.

Cole instantly recognized the value of Ms. Tilman's abilities. He brought her on as his personal advisor, using her to uncover traitors and enemies during the changing of the guard. Under Shalice's watch, the transition to the new government went smoothly. At the young age of 22, Shalice Tilman was rewarded a Praetorship for her efforts--the youngest to achieve such an honor.

As Praetor, Tilman reformed the psychiatric hospitals of the world. Her treatments rehabilitated hundreds of thousands of people who would otherwise have been forgotten in the aftermath of the wars. With the help of an old classmate, Aurora Borealis, she founded the Seer Project, in which unstable psychics underwent treatment that not only saved their lives, but also enabled them to contribute to society. It was during the treatment of one such individual that tragedy struck.

The psychic in question proved to be more unstable than originally believed. During treatment, the patient's psychic abilities lashed out, killing several staff members. Praetor Tilman sacrificed her own life to contain the psychic energy of the patient before it could do any more harm. Desperate to save her friend and mentor, Aurora bravely took Shalice Tilman's psyche into herself.

The two remain merged to this day, serving as a reminder to all Praetorians about the risk unregistered psychics present to the Empire. But most importantly, Praetor Tilman has become a symbol for the devotion both women have to the Praetorian people. As protector of the innocent, healer of the sick, and nurturer of the weak, Praetor Tilman is now known by a new name, a new title that embodies her essence: Mother.

Information

Praetorian contact description

Praetor and Asylum Warden

Shalice Tilman is the most powerful psychic in the world and the pioneer behind the revolutionary Seer Project. Known throughout the Praetorian Empire as Mother, Tilman devoted her life to taking care of others. When a freak accident involving an unstable psychic killed Shalice Tilman, the world mourned her death. Courageously, her colleague, Aurora Borealis, took Shalice's consciousness into her own, saving the woman beloved throughout the world.

Together the two women can do more to help the world than they ever could apart. With their psychic powers combined, Mother has saved the lives of countless psychics, helping them to become Seers. In turn, these Seers help prevent crime by detecting criminal intent and alerting the authorities before harm can be done. There are certain times, however, when Tilman requires outside help in order to keep the land of Praetoria safe from those who would seek to destroy it.

This twisted psion is Tyrant's closest advisor and possibly his biggest threat as well. She is organized and has large numbers of minions she has driven to her particular brand of insanity in her special asylums.

Initial Contact

Character, it's been far too long since you and I have spoke. I have such fond memories of you from our time dealing with one of my troublesome little girls. I must apologize for them, as I don't think I ever did. I've made sure that those... girls have PAID for their BETRAYAL of my TRUST.

Ah... you'll have to forgive Mother. I can get very worked up when I'm betrayed by those who have earned my trust. But I know you would never betray me, would you Varasin? No, that's why I'm coming to you today to ask for your help.

What can I do for you, Mother?

Such a loyal man! I would just love to use you for help in the future after this whole little matter is done.

You may know that Mother rarely relies on outside help. My little daughters normally handle everything that needs to be done. But in this case, I simply must ask for the help of someone like you to help defend Mother and Praetoria from those who would seek to destroy everything we stand for.

I'll do what it takes to help you, Mother.

• Mother cares about you, Character.

Mother doesn't need any thing from you right now, but thank you for asking. But I thought you knew that. Are you trying to sneak something past me? Are you?

Store

Mother communicates telepathically, for the most part. She does not have a store.

Story Arc

The Woman Named DeVore

Part One: Organized Psychics

There are many little rogue psychics within Praetoria, Character. I do try to have each and every one of them visit my hospital so that they may one day serve Praetoria in a better way. But some... some insist on tarnishing my good name, belitting what my daughters stand for! I can't stand for this, Mother won't stand for this any longer. I send my little girls to handle them, and what do I see on my doorstep?

Destruction! Death! Hubris!

Ahem... I get oh so angered at the situation. I am speaking, of course, about the Syndicate and their little psychics. Oh, they thought they could hide from Mother's gaze, but they can't any longer. I sent some of my best girls to bring them in, Character, but oh, it was awful, just awful! The Syndicate slaughtered my precious girls, leaving their bodies in front of my hospital.

Do you think you could deal with these bad psychics for me? I would hate for any of my girls to get hurt, ever again.

Do you know where these Syndicate psychics are?

Oh ho, I do, I do. They keep themselves to their little meetings inside an office building in Berry's city. Yes, three of the worst ones are in there. Howard Milton, Eliza Kushmin, and Franklin Faris. All members of various corporations in Praetoria. Well, until Mother and her daughters found out about who they really were. They've got nothing left to live for, Character, except for the little group of Syndicate. Would you be a dear and make sure these bad psychics get what they deserve? In the eyes of the law, of course.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Mother wishes you the best of luck, {{Character}). Know that I am watching you.
