== Fenwick "Fen" Sage - Mindgame (Funkadelic) ==
[[File:Mindgame.jpg|right|400px]]
Fenwick “Fen” Sage always liked visits to his grandfather’s place. His father’s mother, Gayle, used to spend her youth around a lot of the old swing clubs in New York, including the old Savoy Ballroom. She always had some interesting stories about the bands and people that she met there. He never knew his mother’s father, Lewis, although he had well-worn copies of the books he had written while also working on the family farm.

Fen didn’t know that Gayle used to go the a doctor who ran a little free clinic in her neighborhood because money was tight. He also didn’t know that Lewis, had been treated by a little old man after a terrible tractor accident. Neither Gayle of Lewis knew that the kindly, if distant, doctor was actually Doctor Psion in his early days before he had awakened his own powers. They certainly didn’t know that Doctor Psion was using them as unwitting test subjects. He had considered the tests failures, but something about the two of them had changed. Gayle and Lewis both had children, and two of them got married and had children of there own. 

Whatever had changed with Gayle and Lewis had been passed down and combined into their oldest grandson Fenwick. As Fenwick hit adolescence, in addition to all the other changes of puberty, Fenwick psionic abilities began to awaken. First he thought he was losing his mind, that was was hearing voices and hallucination visions. Slowly he began to realize that he was picking up peoples thoughts and seeing through their eyes. Afraid to tell his parents, he did what many teenagers did when they were looking for answers. He googled it. Trying to find answers, Fen went from website to website and forum to forum. Most of the information he had on power manifestation and power control ended up being nonsense, however he eventually met a fellow traveler, MindLaz0r, another young teen going through a similar change.

Over the next year, Fenwick and MindLaz0r became good friends even though they had never met in person. MindLaz0r was key in helping Fenwick control and develop his powers. MindLaz0r also helped Fen realize that his powers were not a burden, but a responsibility. He was special and needed to use his powers responsibility. Fenwick came from a small town in Oregon and was excited when MindLaz0r suggested that they meet up somewhere, especially a large city. His first trip to one alone.

Fenwick was surprised to find that his fried MindLaz0r was actually Professor Psion looking to recruit a promising new psychic into his worldview. The Professor gave Fenwick the speech, about leading the world, that he was special, better. That regular humans could not rule themselves, they needed to be ruled by their betters.

Being a black kid who had spend a lot of the past year on the internet, he was more than aware of what kind of philosophy this was. There was a fight. It was loud and made the news, although Fen was able to escape without getting caught. He was eventually found by the Atom Family and once he explained his situation he was referred to the Arcadian Academy. 

A relatively new student to the Arcadian Academy, Fen is glad to be around kids who are going through the same issues that he is. However, his experience with MindLaz0r has left Fen mildly suspicious of other motives. He realizes that it is a bit irrational, but is very aware that there are a lot of people that want to use kids like him for their own purposes. Despite Professor Psion’s deception, Fen still believes that he needs to use his powers for good and right now training to be a superhero seems to be the best option for now. Fen is still afraid of his powers and that he may end up misusing them. He’s been studying ethics in hopes of trying to get a better handle on what is right an wrong.

; COMPLICATIONS
: '''Enemy: The Psion family -''' Professor Psion doesn't like that such a promising subject has gotten away and is looking to bring Fen back into the fold or make an example of him.
: '''Motivation: Responsibility -''' Given his power set, Fen is very concerned with using his powers responsibly.
: '''Psychic Overload -''' Mindgame is still getting used to filtering out stray thoughts and emotions. Most of the time it's fine, but something large crowds or particularly strong feelings and emotions can overwhelm Mindgame making him lose focus or even his sense of self.
