Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Mind Adept

"Psychic ready."

-Mind Adept leaving the House of Auring

The Mind Adept is the mind controlling unit of the Collective of Auring. Planned to be voiced by *TBA*.

Tactical analysis

 * Strong Bodies cannot protect weak minds: The Adept is notable because their attacks damage morale instead of health. A target reduced to zero morale by their telepathic rending is left a broken vegetable who may never recover the ability to think coherently again, and against moral-less targets, they make use of precision pyrokinetic to warp, burn, and damage the most important components in a foe.
 * Open your thoughts to me: The most feared capability of the Adept is the ability to control the minds of a target, enslaving them to the adept as long as the adept lives or until the adept chooses a new target to mind control. This makes single high-value enemies an extremely poor trade with the Adept as their minds will surely be lost to the telepathic wiles of Yuri's faithful.
 * Psychic synchronization: The soldiers fighting alongside the Adept also benefit from their presence; finding themselves inspired to fight harder, experiencing the joys of their minds being linked with their comrades, and feeling their fears ebbing away.
 * Not a preacher for the masses: The Adept is easily overwhelmed with large numbers of potential mind control victims, is highly vulnerable to long ranged anti-infantry options, struggles to mind control aircraft and of course cannot use mind control against many kinds of units such as robots.

Overview
The very core members of Collective and the successors of the original Voshkod PsiCorps division, the Adepts are individuals with above average psychic abilities, allowing them to bend the will of others to suit their goals. They pose a significant threat to almost all soldiers and human-operated vehicles, turning their victims against their compatriots with a mere thought.

Adepts are capable of defending themselves against infantry with a potent psychic blast which overwhelms the brains of unshielded soldiers caught within, resulting in death. Though powerful opponents, Adepts are not able to control the minds of animals, beasts and are completely defenseless against robotic and undead units.

Appearance
Their uniform is a modified version of the Yuri Clone from Yuri's Revenge, fitted depending on the race.
