Background / History

Tina was recruited and specially trained by a European ability user organization because Psychic Ability Users are exceptionally rare and strategically valuable. While still a young woman, she became a Great Captain with authority over ten ability-user squads. 1528

She was dispatched to Cambodia because the mission required a psychic ability user. Her organization confirmed that no other European psychic had been sent to the region and arranged two S-Class reinforcements for her protection and the mission’s success. 1533

Upon arriving at the Cambodian base, Tina sensed Chen Mo’s Spiritual Sense as an unfamiliar mental fluctuation. Unable to identify its source, she ordered a search for suspicious Westerners and personally took custody of the jade artifact, which she knew was a key. 1528 1529 1532

Appearance

Tina is a young, beautiful woman in her twenties, described as having an elegant and aloof bearing. She is notably tall for a woman at approximately 1.8 meters. 1563 1576 1778

• Often maintains a cold expression around subordinates. 1528
• Carries herself with enough authority that Yam, Fei Charlie, Tra, and William consistently defer to her. 1528 1562
• Can fight while wielding a heavy horse-chopping saber despite her comparatively delicate build. 1778 1786

Personality

Tina is decisive, pragmatic, and intensely mission-focused. She evaluates threats quickly, delegates according to each subordinate’s abilities, and is willing to investigate dangerous mechanisms herself rather than recklessly sacrifice team members. 1653 1757 1763

She values discipline and expects absolute obedience, but she is not indifferent to the losses of her own ability users or mercenaries. She arranges rest rotations, recovery time, burials, cremations, and monetary rewards to preserve combat effectiveness and morale. 1583 1600 1626 1652

Her concern has clear limits: completing the mission takes precedence over ordinary lives. When forced into a desperate situation, she is prepared to use indiscriminate force even if it endangers mercenaries. 1757 1794

Abilities & Skills

Psychic Perception

Tina can release Mental Power as a radar-like scan, detect other mental-energy users, examine objects and mechanisms, and sense approaching danger. 1528 1653 1757

• Detected Chen Mo’s Spiritual Sense on multiple occasions, though she could not trace him after he withdrew it. 1528 1579
• Identifies traps, hidden mechanisms, toxic surfaces, and spaces beyond barriers through mental probing. 1653 1762 1763
• Her danger sense warns her through discomfort in her sea of consciousness, but does not always reveal the source of the threat. 1757
• Thick barriers and shielding patterns can greatly limit or block her perception. 1653 1753

Mental Stab and Mental Restraint

Tina attacks an opponent’s sea of consciousness directly, disrupting movement and leaving targets vulnerable to physical attacks. 1581 1582

• Used Mental Stab to slow a superior-ranked monk before fatally piercing him with a spike. 1582
• Can disrupt armored guards’ minds, making their attacks sluggish. 1779
• Immobilized four armored guards with mental restraint so Yam and Fei Charlie could decapitate them. 1779
• Psychic attacks can interfere with elemental ability users and potentially trigger elemental backlash. 1528

Mental Storm

Mental Storm is Tina’s primary area-of-effect technique, released outward from herself to destroy or disrupt enemies. 1598

• Obliterates black beetles and small monsters across a wide area. 1598 1676
• Can spare allies within its range while attacking enemy minds and souls. 1598
• Clears paths, rescues surrounded allies, and stalls groups of armored monsters. 1598 1608
• Cannot be used indefinitely; Tina rotates attacks with Yam and Fei Charlie to conserve energy. 1608

Mental Power Nebula

Nebula is Tina’s strongest known mental technique: a visible wave of Mental Power that radiates outward like ripples. 1782

• Annihilated the black beetles in its path during the battle against the golden-armored enemy. 1782
• Failed to penetrate the golden arm guards, confirming them as her mission target. 1782
• Completely depletes her supernatural energy even after she consumes a high-grade recovery potion. 1782
• Requires Yam and Fei Charlie to guard her while she recovers afterward. 1782

Psychic Communication and Mental Assistance

Tina can use limited Mental Power for communication and support rather than direct attacks. 1606 1669 1771

• Transmitted combat instructions directly into every team member’s mind. 1606
• Used a small mental stimulus on Yam’s brow to break him out of a hallucination. 1669
• Snapped the team out of their shock upon discovering the underground underwater chamber. 1771
• Her mental resonance caused discomfort and nosebleeds among ordinary mercenaries. 1620

Telekinetic Spike Control

Tina controls slender silver-white spikes with Mental Power, allowing them to fly, turn, and strike with extreme speed. 1582 1625

• The spikes can pierce opponents before they recognize the attack. 1582
• Used them alongside Mental Stab to kill the middle-aged monk. 1582
• Their sharpness allows them to pierce the hides of flying monsters. 1625

Close-Quarters Combat

Although her physical durability is below that of physically enhanced elemental users, Tina is capable in melee combat and combines weapon strikes with psychic attacks. 1581 1778

• Fought a monk whose Transcendent rank exceeded her own. 1581
• Used a horse-chopping saber against armored guards and the golden-armored figure. 1778 1786
• Her mental defense can block heavy blows, though the impact still strains her body. 1581

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Jade artifact (“key”) — Personally held by Tina; inserted into a key-shaped slot to activate the spiral stone staircase. 1532 1629
• Parchment — Used to identify directions, interpret the underground site, and operate the Naga statues and key mechanism. 1627 1629
• Silver-white spikes — Telekinetically controlled piercing weapons carried on her person. 1582 1583
• Horse-chopping saber — A heavy monster weapon Tina adopts for fighting armored guards and the golden-armored figure. 1770 1778

• Protective suit — Resists corrosive mist and poison while Tina investigates dangerous gates. 1757 1763

• Lightning Sword — Sword-shaped emergency accessory that releases a devastating expanding lightning attack. 1796
• Advanced antidote — Ability-user-made medicine given to Tra after he is poisoned by a door panel. 1762

Relationships

• Yam — Subordinate and effective second-in-command; leads ability users under Tina’s orders and is deeply concerned for her safety. 1528 1653 1757
• Fei Charlie — Subordinate and fire-element ability user; follows Tina’s commands in reconnaissance, combat, and defensive operations. 1528 1598 1754
• Tra — Mercenary commander under Tina’s authority; obeys her orders despite resentment over the unequal treatment of mercenaries and ability users. 1563 1600 1652
• William — Mercenary captain who follows Tina’s command structure and helps organize defensive formations. 1562 1604
• Mary and Mofasa — Ice- and earth-element allies who create protective walls to cover Tina’s retreat from the exploding gate. 1757 1758
• Chen Mo / “Monroe” — An undercover cultivator whose Spiritual Sense repeatedly draws Tina’s suspicion; she later recognizes his competence with the Orichalcum key and listens to his observations about the palace door. 1528 1638 1727 1754
• European ability user organization — Her employer and sponsor; trained her as a rare psychic and assigned her to recover the golden arm guards. 1528 1533 1855
