<u style="font-weight:bold;]Confessors (race)[/u]
A creation of the Red Death, Confessors earned their name from their initial use of tearing information from the minds of others, or getting them to "confess" to their perceived crimes. These creatures were initially an accident, from failed attempts to artificially recreate the red-feathered seers of the Atlantian race. The fist confessors were warped beasts which didn't live long, but showed signs of powerful telepathy and in some cases, telekinesis. A small group of scientists saw potential in the failure, and further developed the Confessors, stabilizing the genetic structure until they no longer resembled the beings they originally were trying to create.
The first stable Confessors were slim, frail creatures, with four arms, four eyes, and a snakelike lower body. They superficially resembled nagas, but were exclusively female, due to the genetic samples used. Despite their vulnerable bodies, even the first of the Confessors were able to use refined telepathy to not only read minds, but to damage them. Their powers were tested almost exclusively on criminals and prisoners of war, with favorable results. Thanks to early success, more funding and personnel was dedicated to the development of the new Confessor species.
Over time, Confessors became less frail, and their powers were refined into several types and classifications. Like other types of Red Death units, they were ranked D, C, B, A, and S, according to strength and control, though even D-Class Confessors were universally feared both within the organization, and by those who knew the damage that could be caused by the telepaths.
The major types of Confessors are:
<ul type="disc]<li>Readers:<img style="max-width:35%;float:right;margin:0 0 18px 18px;" src="http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/323/a/3/confessor_sketch_by_fish_with_a_knife-d86ydgu.png" style="confessor] The most common type, Readers are able to "hear" the thoughts of others, and at stronger ranks, are able to even dig into the thoughts and memories of the most mentally disciplined. Powerful Readers are used to obtain information, or keep watch for traitors and spies. At weaker levels, they are sometimes used as secretaries, due to their photographic memory and an ability to process large amounts of information with relative ease.</li><li>Nightmares: Much like Readers, Nightmares are telepaths, however their abilities are less benign. While they cannot passively read thoughts, Nightmares can pry into the minds of others and forcibly tear the memories from their mind. This has the obvious result of emotional and mental damage to the target, and in fact, Nightmares a usually used for torture. More powerful Nightmares can actually cause physical damage, or even death, to unfortunate targets, and are the source of most of the fear that surrounds the Confessor race.</li><li>Kinetics: The least common type, Kinetics are unable to read thoughts, but are instead able to use their mind powers to move objects, or create unseen force. Weaker Kinetics are mainly used in laboratories where their skills can be used to manipulate materials that cannot be handled, or to move things within shielded conditions. Stronger Kinetics, on the other hand, are used as soldiers, assassins, or at the very highest powers, as artillery.</li></ul>
There are subtypes within each type, but they are too numerous to list.
