Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Yuri Prime

"There's only one true Yuri..."

-Yuri Prime

Yuri Prime is the main commando and general of PsiCorps, the subfaction of the Collective of Auring. Planned to be voiced by Udo Kier.

Tactical analysis

 * 1:
 * Do you feel in charge Proselyte?: Yuri passively improves the morale, accuracy, discipline, regeneration speed, and rate of fire of troops around him, but he can temporarily focus his tactical psionics to push people beyond their limits to make veterans out of raw recruits and gods out of heroes; even affecting himself.
 * 3:
 * The New Era begins now: Yuri, in times of emergency, can deactivate his mental inhibitors. Doing so he can constantly undermin his opponents by filling their thoughs with doubt, take control of even robots and cyborgs normally immune to mind control, does not need to focus to elevate friendly troops to their true potential and with the same focus as before, whip even the rawest recruits into battle dominating elites and teasing forth blatant superhumanity out of the already accomplished.

Overview
Yuri is the enigmatic and cunning leader of PsiCorps, and later his own military forces, the Collective of Auring. Apart from being the mastermind behind the success of the development of psychic technology, Yuri himself also demonstrated the ability to erase memories and possibly foresight to the future, though the latter trait is unreliable at times. And has also advanced his own psychic powers that enemies who fall under his mind control permanently joins his side and theoratically has no limits, in comparison even the strongest Adepts can only control at most two enemies and must maintain a link, a feat that no psychic has achieved before. crush structures with telekinesis, and not even aircraft, which are too far to mind control, are safe as he can telekinetically pull them back down to land.

History
"..."

-...

Aside from the fact that Yuri is a remnant of Emet's psychic legacy, Yuri's past prior to the GVAW remains a mystery. What is known, however, is that he is responsible for the further development of psychic technology, Prior to Cherdenko purging and razing the entire psychic branch to the root followed by Lunafreya destroying what research notes she could get her hands on. But through his cunning and powers, he and most of the researchings had found refuge in Naggaroth and created PsiCorps Troopers, men and women able to bend the minds of their enemies. These troopers would soon become pivotal for many of PsiCorps' endeavors to weaken Aquila and later Hawke during the 2004 V.C. Invasion of Aquila. Later on, Yuri invented and deployed Psychic Beacons and Psychic Amplifiers, insidious devices that enslave entire populations to serve his goal of world peace.

Several years prior to reaching Naggaroth, it was rumored that Yuri had played a hand in making many of the psychic branches of today, such as the Protectorate Psionic Corp since his original lab in Hrothgar was razed thanks to Cherdenko. And a rumor circulating that he had, through the use of glamour, managed to get a lab within Ulthuan where he began countless, unethical, experiments to further his knowledge of his powers and the eventual creation of PsiCorp, and is said that is that around that time he had found a woman bearing a psychic potential as powerful as him, and had sired a daughter with her (and though there were no proper records what was scrounged had hinted that they genuinely loved each other) who bore psychic powers equal or greater then his, and if the rumors are true he used her to see just how powerful psychic powers could be with the aid of the Shiro Sanitarium. Only to disappear six years later with any hints of his daughter disappearing too, around the time of the first Shiro Sanitarium destruction. Though some Protectorate forces are wary that the date that Yuri supposedly sired his daughter matches with the date Yuriko was born, and that's not even mentioning that their names sound similar...

Earlier in 2000 V.C., Yuri's PsiCorps Troopers are sighted during Natasha and Alisaie' covert operation to retrieve the bodies of the cyborgs Volkov and Chitzkoi. However, the PsiCorps Troopers were not there to help Natasha and Alisaie, but ultimately they were able to make it back safely with Volkov and Chitzkoi, of which used to create a newer incarnation of Chitzkoi and adoption of Volkov's former parts to Aranea.

And yet, despite all of his ruthlessness, many have noted that his goal, to bring world peace by putting them under his mind control, is noble in intention, if horrible in practice and that he genuinely cares for his people and soldiers in comparison to the other three commanders, to the point that his forces affectionally calls him "father Yuri". And unlike other commanders, he is willing to put himself in harm's way to achieve his goals, with his famous case of valor being that he willingly used himself as bait to lure away the Voshkods from his Mental Omega Device, despite knowing he would likely die and putting his trust in his proselyte to complete his goals. And is rumored to hold onto and cared for a bracelet made of black hair, said to have belonged to someone dear to him, and on (insert date) he becomes sullen and quiet, with some Collective soldiers and enemy spies even noting that sometimes they hear him weep, with what the forces could gather was him mourning the loss of someone dear.

Already feared for his great psychic powers. Few actually know that Yuri is actually fighting at half his powers as the band of psychic stimulators he wears is actually made to suppress his latent empathy. And if Yuri ever removes his headband and unleashes his full power he can easily manipulate the emotions of his foes and confuse them with conflicting thoughts, take control of animals, aircraft, robots, and cyborgs (via psychokinesis) at a faster rate, and does not need to focus to elevate friendly troops to their true potential and with the same focus as before, whip even the rawest recruits into battle dominating elites and tease forth blatant superhumanity out of the already accomplished. But the lethal amounts of strain it puts on his mind, as unsuppressed he can feel both his ally and enemy's emotions and deaths within a mile which often clashes wildly and loudly, means that he is often reluctant to remove his limiter, and only does so in dire situations.

Yuri Unchained
Yuri now deals constant morale damage and debuffs to nearby enemies, Yuri can now mind-control every unit except commandos and epics, and Command and Conquer's effects are passive and affect himself constantly, ability gains a supercharged form that bumps effective promotion level by two.
