Psionics

Sotiel are naturally telepathic and communicate mind-to-mind. When pressed, they can defend themselves with powerful mental blasts. Matne is exceptionally skilled in this regard.

Wall-Climbing

The ability to climb and stick to any surface with ease.

Middling in size for a sotiel, Matne is a more brightly-colored individual. Its skin and carapace are traffic-light red and the blues of its eyes are deep and rich. Like any sotiel it is thin and wiry, though it has the steady, measured way of moving usually seen on very large creatures.

Matne is a walking weapon. Its sole purpose in its squadron is as a living psychic battery, both for reconnaissance and attack. The precision of its movements translates into its demeanor, as it is so powerful a psychic that it could actually hurt someone by accident if it let its mind wander. It is relaxed among its own kind, who are all natural psionics and so in little danger, but among many other species Matne has to act with care and is always very conscious of itself. This leaves it rather on the antisocial side, since it just doesn't have the attention to spare for socialization with non-psionics.
