#ectoverse

one of, if not THE, strangest psychics known to science is a young woman going by the name 'eris'. she's capable of something that nothing else ever recorded, psychic or ghost, is capable of doing: manipulating the corporeality of matter, rather than ectoplasm. to put it plainly, she can walk through walls and turn invisible.

more under da cut

here are some other psychics that are often around in the same place as eris lives. (eris is in the background.)

firstly we have ROBIN who i ammmm still figuring out the exact nature of, but i think her* main thing is that she has a sort of supercharged imaginary friend thing going on. She has a sparkledog in real life and it's a ghost. she can't directly see ghosts that aren't already capable of becoming visible but she can communicate with them. that all being said, she isn't actually one of the subjects being studied! her dad is a researcher there and she just likes hanging out with the cool kids.

secondly, SEAN. sean has telekinetic abilities--he can extend parts of his soul beyond his body and make corporeal gripping surfaces to pick stuff up. pictured below.

he's got much stronger telekinesis than usual--most telekinetics can only exert enough force to lift about 10 pounds, but he can lift much heavier objects, including himself (albeit only a few inches and for a few seconds). he originally connected with the institute after being hospitalized for a seizure.... because he tried to levitate something too heavy on a dare........ don't give yourself a soul hernia, folks.

(he also has white hair for reasons.)

THIRD. we got. sofia. sofia is an enigma. she is also not a research subject, but instead works for one of the organizations funding the place. her abilities are some kind of telepathic, but no one is quite sure what she can actually do. i'll uh. i'll figure her out later. Don't worry about sofia.

*robin's gonna be a they/them in like 2 years, give her time

great news everyone it's the return of everyone's favorite butch vampire i haven't drawn since 2022 nor ever posted on my blog, hedge,

it is unclear whether these ghosts have evolved naturally or are spontaneously generated, but there have been enough reports that this is likely a species and not a single unique instance.
