Abilities and Powers

Dez is, in her words, a 'shotgun precog'.<ref name="PRTF 1" /> She views a spread of futures in a matter of moments with the number of events and the length of the viewing periods depending on the time since her last 'shotgun', her emotional state, and her degree of rest. The number of futures viewed and the duration of each viewing vary from six to two and hours to seconds, respectively. The ability hits a ceiling at the point where she is incapacitated for longer than the visions last.<ref name="PRT21">

A ‘shotgun precog’ – she could see multiple theoretical futures which had a low probability of coming to pass, but which nonetheless provided some information gathering ability. - FAQ Parahuman Response Team Quest</ref>

Capabilities and priorities Roulette observes are reasonably accurate, but events can diverge wildly, and shouldn't be taken as a reason for action on their own. <ref name="PRT Quest">PRT Quest document 18</ref> <ref name="PRT29"> - Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread i p29</ref>

History

Background

Had a natural Thinker Trigger.

Post-Echidna

Was transferred to anchorage.<ref name="PRTF 2">General:
Roulette reached out to the PRT in the aftermath of her powers’ initial manifestation. In her confusion, she revealed her powers to friends and classmates. She was moved to another city and given a new identity as she wished, to preserve the safety of herself and her family.

Following a minor incident where she was overprescribed sleeping pills in an attempt to to facilitate the use of her power, Roulette has been relocated, with permission given by her parents, school, psychiatrist and all related parties.

Roulette has a very small field presence and poor ratings, but remains significantly better than the typical precog-type Thinker. She is licensed with most nonlethal weaponry, but her stature limits what she can carry. - PRT Files document 18</ref>

PRT Quest

During Director Seneca's meeting, Roulette asks Feint about himself when he mentions that he thinks that he thought some people were subhuman. She was taken back by Feint's response before, after Aurouch sent Feint out, she apologized.
