Nix Tekal

Nix Tekal was a goblin born in 7e 1448. She was born blind, and never gained sight.

From being born blind, she had a challenging childhood, struggling in academia for obvious reasons, not helped by negligent parents (Many say her blindness was the result of drug usage during her mother's pregnancy). She quickly learnt she would mostly have to fend for herself, despite not being able to see her surroundings. Through vigilant focus and study, she eventually managed to tap into the breaks between Xynrear and the Alteria, reading the AI waves that emanated around her. At first, this was too overwhelming, and the sheer information onslaught nearly overrode her soul and rendered her catatonic. However, she managed to overcome this, and soon began to 'see' the world around her via AI waves from dahl's and creature's souls. She perfected this technique throughout her childhood and early adulthood, until it had been refined to such a point that in her 20s it was actually possible for her to read the thoughts and feelings of those around her. She ended up getting a job as psychologist, working in various counselling and mental health scenarios. Her unique powers quickly generated a name for herself, becoming one of the most renowned psychologists in Arvine, with many well-known individuals turning to her for help with their mental state.

It was in 8e 1 that she was approached by Sebastian D'Arque. He informed her that he was creating an organisation, to be known as E.E.R.L.A, of unique individuals who could work together to ensure the well-being of the planet. She accepted without too much internal debate, keen to use her powers beyond the profession she had begun to find both dull and incredibly emotionally draining. Thus, she became one of the first batch of heroes in E.E.R.L.A's employ.

Abilities
Her reading of AI waves gives her a perception of the world beyond sight. She may not be able to read objects at all, having her trusty guide dog Graham to help with that. But she can detect individuals, and determine their identity, amongst other things, beyond physical barriers, and from great distances. On a more intimate level, she can detect thoughts and feelings. Thus, she was used to ensure the confidentially of E.E.R.L.A's members, and to make sure that they were all trustworthy. Obviously, she's very useful in E.E.R.L.A's interrogations, in fact pretty much removing the need for interrogations. The cost of this (Aside from the blindness), is that she is almost constantly overrun by these Alterial signals, which ends up being incredibly taxing on her mentally, preventing sleep, and generally resulting in mild anxiety and depression.
