Mind Melters

Mind Melters are the most powerful and most feared of the psychics that inhabit Rifts.  They can bend you to their will.  They can give you the real evil eye.  They can leave you an empty shell.  And they can do all of that and more without even lifting a finger.  You nor anyone around you would even know who was doing it.  That is why they are feared everywhere.  A gun, or a cudgel you can avoid, a magic user you can see and hear casting their spell, but a Mind Melter could be sitting across the room eating a hamburger and strike you dead and no one would notice.

Like all psychics Mind Melters are mutants (human mutants are generally the only ones referred to as Mind Melters).  Very few outside of the military are allowed to be C.S. citizens, they are just too dangerous and uncontrollable to chance.  They run the entire spectrum of psychic ability and always have vast mental reserves on which to use their powers.
