Jimar Domino is a human mutant who has the primary mutant ability to understand, replicate and manipulate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others. He first recognized his mutant ability Being the only mutant in his family, he kept his abilities a secret from them and did his best to lead a "normal" life. He sought out support groups as his ability to control his growing empathic powers was waning, causing him to randomly project and receive emotions from people around him. For a period of time he was unsuccessful and was growing increasingly worried as he was experiencing great pain from the overwhelming strength of emotions from people around him. Thankfully, he stumbled upon a Mutant Support group based in Millennium City, who were able to help him by putting him in touch with other mutants with the gift of empathy. However after a sudden and violent attack by an anti-mutant group, the support group was forced to disband for safety and Jimar was once again alone. He soon came into contact with Mentella who had recently set up The Summerstone Academy for Advanced Individuals. During his time at the academy, Jimar had not only learned to use and expand his abilities but he had also received additional help to control his abilities. After he graduated, Jimar took on the codename 'Psirus' and lead a group of superheroes called Shadow X through a range of difficult encounters. Psirus is now a member of Delta and readily makes use of his empathic abilities to help out where he can.

HISTORY
Spoiler Warning
The following details are about a player-created storyline, or is information currently unrevealed about a character.
Please do not use this information ICly unless given permission to do so.
Jimar Domino was born into a middle class family in Detroit and was surrounded by his loving and caring relatives just as any child deserves, unfortunately for him, his childhood took a dramatic turn for the worse as in 1992 at the very young age of 7, Jimar was one of the many who witnessed the horror that was the Battle of Detroit and one of the few who survived where so many lost their lives, heroes and civilians alike. In the surrounding chaos and horrible din of crumbling buildings, colossal explosions and Jimar lost sight of his family as they quickly bolted past a toppling building. His mother cried out as a large section of the building plummeted to the ground below blocking the view between him and his family. As the dust settled, he heard his mothers muffled screams and focused in on a much nearer much more pain filled groan; he looked around and soon found a construction worker who had fallen horribly.
He panicked as he slowly approached the man almost feeling the same amount of pain and despair that the man felt. All he knew was that he wanted the pain to stop and a ripple of barely visible energy seemed to rip forth from him and forced itself to cocoon the construction worker, slowly soothing him, unknowingly absorbing the man's pain as his own before somehow managing to wile it away. It wasn't long before a superhero came along, lifting the debris, high over his head whilst another swooped in and retrieved the placated construction worker and the slightly confused Jimar.
As time went on, Jimar learned through research and his own thoughts that he had somehow developed the ability to read and communicate with other people's minds via emotions. He kept this a secret from his family out of fear of being treated differently for being a "mutant". However as time went on and he got older his powers became incredibly unstable; during his teenage years he was unable to fully contain his ability, constantly projecting his own emotions and receiving those of others at random times. His sensitivity to emotions only served to magnify how fully he experienced every emotion he received, as a result he sought out assistance from a mutant support group. For a while they were able to assist him, calming him down and putting him with other mutants who had a similar suit of gift. Unfortunately the group was attacked by Anti-Mutant Crusaders, who had somehow found out about the group and burnt the group venue down, even going as far as attacking the members. The group disbanded soon thereafter and each went their separate ways, Jimar was left traumatized with a fractured wrist. The attack had reaffirmed his fear of persecution because of his mutation and this fear coupled with the mental and physical trauma further damaged the fragile control he had managed to gain, once again throwing his powers back into the uncontrollable and random ability it once was.
After years of battling the depressive feelings associated with being unable to control his empathic abilities, in order to save himself and others, Jimar had all but shut himself away from the rest of the world. At the age of 23, Jimar was contacted by another empathic mutant who he remembered from the support group years ago. They caught up and he explained his situation to her and she put him in contact with a new academy which seemed as if it could cater to his unique situation as a person with super human abilities. He followed up the information he was given and contacted the founder, Dr. Mentella Summerstone. She assured him that she would be capable of bringing out the very best in her students, Jimar included. He prepared himself and promptly accepted the invitation to begin his student life at the Summerstone Academy.
Jimar firmly believes that this was the one thing that saved him as a person. Under the tutelage of his mentor Mentella, Jimar learned to focus and hone his empathic abilities as well as discover a few dormant abilities such as the ability to use communicative telepathy and generate a personal psionic barrier for physical defense. The early childhood trauma and later life traumas mixed in with his sensitivity when it came to emotions and his abilities had shattered a large portion of his control over his primary ability. Beyond resetting his mutant ability, which would have been a lengthy and fairly invasive procedure, both Jimar and Mentella agreed to find another way to deal with his predicament. In conjunction with UNTIL Scientists and The Summerstone Sisterhood's resources, a Meta Power Regulator device was developed with specific focus on controlling the emotional sensitivity that Jimar naturally had, allowing him to "tune out" emotions when necessary.
Jimar was one of the first 100 students to be taught at The Summerstone Academy. After his graduation Jimar took on the alias 'Psirus' and went on to form his own team for a brief period of time, namely Shadow X.
Joining Delta
By 2014, Psirus had left his former group Shadow X and had frequently come into contact with Sarge, Cavalier and a few other Delta members, during his time as a solo hero. As he continued working alongside them, he realized how much he missed being apart of a team and asked to join the group. Delta considered his application, noting that he was not only a graduate from The Summerstone Academy but also had been apart of a super team beforehand, he was accepted into the group initially on a trial basis but within a few weeks he was a full member. Psirus has found his place in the group settling in quite well and enjoys working with them.
Powers and Abilities
Psirus is a human mutant whose mutation granted him the gift of Empathy and as he later discovered a few other talents.
Empathy
Psirus' strongest ability is his primary mutation which is allows him to fully interpret and replicate moods, emotions and temperaments of others, without having to read body language or apparent symptoms such as crying, smiling, frowning etc. Psirus, unlike most other empaths, does not require physical contact in order to understand the emotions of those around him or of a specific target. The years spent at The Summerstone Academy for Advanced Individuals allowed him to focus his abilities and he has managed to master his empathic abilities whilst uncovering new applications for them. Psirus has learnt to extend his Empathy in the following ways.
- Emotion Manipulation
- Emotion Negation
- Empathic Inundation
- Emotion Amplification
- Telempathy
- Empathic Creation
- Inner Empath
Emotion Manipulation
With this ability he can manipulate the emotions of an individual, causing them feel a certain emotion by exuding subtle and sometimes overt and forceful empathic waves at his targets. This covers a wide range of emotions and can when pushed, stretch to perceptions and he can induce varying levels of pain with his empathic abilities. Psirus can also use this variation of his empathic powers to induce a range of emotions within his allies and enemies. With this ability he can cause his opponents to feel intense feelings of pain, hope, fear or even love to the point of loyalty if he pushes himself. For his allies he can subtly increase feelings of hope when facing difficult situations, bolstering their resolve. Psirus learnt to employ his emotional manipulation to utilize empathic healing. This skill allows him to infuse his allies with feelings of serenity as well as absorbing the pain from an injury from them for himself. Whilst this does not directly heal the physical wound, it can encourage the natural regenerative abilities that his target may possess. With focused effort, Psirus's empathic healing is capable of healing emotional scars.
Emotion Negation
Psirus is capable of fully negating his own emotions. He mainly uses it in order to allow him to focus despite the influx of emotions he may be receiving in a high stress environment. He can use this ability to suppress or negate emotions of others, allowing them to ignore emotional distractions and/or feeling from affecting their thinking-processes.
Empathic Inundation
Psirus is able to overwhelm his opponents with unwanted sentiments and feelings that have been harboring their conscious minds. He also has the ability to force others to experience all their deepest sentiments at once, leaving them susceptible to mental pain, render them unconscious or at full force, comatose.
Emotion Amplification
If necessary Psirus can tap into the emotional streams that he can sense emanating from people around him and amplify certain emotions to produce a variety of effects. He can amplify emotions present in a person, to confuse or disorient them.
Telempathy
This ability stemmed from his primary mutation. It surfaced during his mentoring period with Mentella, it allows him to harness his empathic abilities in order to communicate and read the minds of other people via emotions. When using this ability, Psirus can not only sense and read the emotions of others but he can also send his own emotions to others. He can use this to communicate with one another emotionally and can send "emotional echoes" to another mind. By using this skill alone, he is capable of sending images which are attached to a particular emotion he or his target may be sending between themselves. An example of this would be of Psirus sensing the emotion of happiness from a friend and an echo of them laughing would be reflected back to him. He can use this ability to share his own feelings with others but cannot project his thoughts with this ability. Psirus can also pinpoint empathic signatures within his local area and identify those of specific people nearby. Psirus is an incredibly sensitive receiver of telepathic communication, whilst he is not telepathic, he is skilled at receiving and communicating with telepaths.
Empathic Creation
Psirus, to an extent, is capable of manifesting his own emotional energy into barriers, bolts and blasts of energy. This can be used as an alternate means to attack an opponent by creating empathic creatures which assault targets with emotional energy or firing blasts of emotional energy. Psirus can also use this ability to generate energy barriers for protection against incoming damage.
Inner Empath
Through training and practice, Psirus soon learnt to extend his empathic powers to allow his 'inner empath' to traverse the physical world. This 'inner empath' is a manifestation of his empathic abilities and his consciousness. When in this form, Psirus is somewhat difficult to perceive and has heightened resistance to physical impacts and is able to pass through most materials. When in different or new locations he can sense emotional imprints in different locations and re-experience those emotions as if they were happening in that moment. He can also see the emotional echoes(images/residual ghosts) still there. This is due to high levels of concentrated emotional energy. Whilst in his 'inner empath' form, his physical body is vulnerable, so Psirus does not use this ability unless it is necessary.
Equipment
Meta Power Regulator
During the time that he was under Mentella’s tutelage, she would suppress his emotional sensitivity, in order to avoid the bombardment of emotions. However after sometime it became apparent that after his graduation he would need something to regulate his sensitivity as he had lost the ability to do so from an early age. Mentella offered to create psychic barriers within his mind but Psirus wanted to be able to regulate his abilities on his own. Mentella put in a request for a device to be built, which would assist his efforts to control his emotional sensitivity. This special device was developed by a team of UNTIL Scientists, Dr. Su Summerstone (Founder of ForceTech Ind.), the Meta Power Regulator or M.P.R. as it has been dubbed; regulates his emotional sensitivity. Psirus must tune or "switch" to a certain setting on the Regulators in order to fight effectively using his emotional energy. The device also projects an anti-gravity field which allows Psirus to fly when he wants.

Notes
Quotes
- "You may be able to mask your thoughts, but I'll always know how you really feel." ~ Psirus to Mind Slayer
- "Tell me, how does that make you feel?" ~ Psirus to a stunned opponent.
- "I have a bad feeling about this..."
- "Oh my."
Known Threats
VIPER
Both on solo ventures and in teams, Psirus has fought against some of VIPER's toughest members including:
- Draconis
- Freon
- VIPER X
His latest battle with VIPER seemed as if he was to fight Viperia herself. Despite this, he was successful but only marginally. With the assistance of his new teammates, Savage, Vitality and Joule. With their help Psirus was able to take down Viperia, unfortunately it was later revealed that this Viperia was merely a decoy. Psirus seems to be slightly disturbed as to why and how exactly VIPER could clone Viperia and for what end. However he expressed relief that this "Viperia" was being transported to a secure location where she could be safely locked up.
Psirus has come up against a new super villain who seems determined to cause him as much trouble as possible. A human mutant who calls himself 'King Ace' exhibits high levels of super human strength and based on the description and memories from Psirus, seems to be immune or at least highly resistant to Psirus' mutant abilities. He soon discovered that this was due to his mutant ability of Apathy. Despite this unfortunate turn of events, Delta assured Psirus that with their assistance he would be more than capable of dealing with King Ace.
Upon further research of the nature of King Ace, they discovered he was quite well known in the criminal underworld for his readiness to accept special assassination tasks for corrupt government organizations as well as villainous organizations, such as ARGENT or DEMON. Despite his reputation for being relatively efficient albeit somewhat unorthodox, he had not been employed by PSI or VIPER.
Psirus contacted Mentella in the hopes of finding out a little bit more about King Ace and why he seemed to enjoy tormenting Psirus. Mentella spoke to several of her informants in both PSI and VIPER and was made aware of the clear reason why he was never employed. The reason, much to her and Psirus' shock, was that King Ace has a strong fixation with psychics, as a result of this he enjoys killing psychics and gains some sort of sexual gratification from fighting or being around psychics. This fact alone serves as enough of a reason why neither organization have accepted or requested his services.
Despite his physical appearance King Ace does not have any links to The Black Aces gang, though it is highly possible at one stage he was a member. King Ace is a mob boss and employs ex-military men and ARGENT soldiers who act as his minions. His most recent contracting was by DEMON with regard to taking down Psirus. Psirus, with the help of his team mates was able to defeat King Ace late last year, hopefully never to be seen again.
