Many of these characters were created to take part in tabletop role-playing game sessions. Others were invented as a creative writing exercise, often as part of a community event.

Powers and Abilities
Her contact with the MindCoil gave Amanda tremendous mental powers. It allowed to transform into the metallic skinned Psialpha. In this form she can withstand tremendous physical punishment.
In either form her mental abilities are second to none. She has both Telekinetic and Telepathic powers.
History
Amanda Wysse was a promising medical student. While on a holiday, she encountered an artifact of unknown origin calling itself the MindCoil. The MindCoil transformed the altruistic young woman into a noble warrior champion of Earth. Then it disappeared.
Taking the name Psialpha (a term she uses to mean First Mentalist), Amanda flew off to save the Earth. She aided the PCG on an adventure against Darkseid, and joined the team proper shortly afterwards.
Description
Amanda is an attractive young woman. She wears business casual clothes and often has a lab coat (the universal comic book symbol for person of learning). She wears glasses still even though she now sees perfectly.
In her Psialpha persona, Amanda is taller, and more muscular. She has metallic blue skin and translucent blue hair that flows ethereally about her. She wears no “costume” in her heroic identity, but does not appear “nekked”
Personality
Noble, caring and just, Amanda is also proud, haughty and more than just a little condescending towards others. Think maybe Aquaman, or closer still, a more gracious and humble Moondragon.
