The Wandering Hand

A small group of self proclaimed psychics hailing from (depending on who you ask) either Lily Dale, New York or Cassadaga, Florida. They are led by a man they call Merlin, and they are always on the move. It's said that each member was handpicked for their gifts by Merlin himself, and it was he who ultimately led them to safety. While they don't carry much on them, they always seem to know just where to go for safety, weapons, and food.

Merlin: (M 53)The guy who recruited each member, Merlin was once a member of the clandestine MIPO branch of the military black-ops organization: Military Intelligence and Psychological Operations. Upon hearing of the death of his sister (Skye's mother) in a raid of their cults compound. However, Skye was already gone. In searching for her, learned of the impending asteroid attack and the true depth of the supernatural presence. That's when he knew his true purpose in life: survive the coming apocalypse. Finding Skye living as a con artist in a community of "psychics", he figured this was as good a place as any. After winning Skye's trust, he began training her and recruiting. Finding only a handful of suitable candidates, most of them in the leadership positions, the began consolidating. The true strength and secret of Merlin and the Wandering Hand is a list of safe houses, caches, and black sites completely off the books. Skye is the only other member that knows the list in it's entirety. Red-Eye and Spanner each got half, and the couple of others know a handful of rally and rendezvous sites. Merlin really likes to play up the psychic angle.

Skye: (F 26)"Merlin's" niece, and the only person using their given name. Raised by a pseudo-hippy cult, she escaped at 15 just before the raid. Over the next few years she survived using her natural talents of perception and empathy, and made a decent living as a con-artist until she made her way to the town of psychics. For her, it was quite easy to get in, because no one who made decisions was an actual psychic. Then her uncle found her, and in time convinced her of the truth. She is the diplomat of the group, and the only other person who knows the entirety of The List.

Red-Eye: (M 39)Fraudster and Hacker, Red-Eye is the techie of the group. He found his way to the community with a partner, who has since passed, that was the face of their scheme. Merlin found his way to Red-Eyes place, and his lack of dirt and records raised red flags. Over time, Merlin gained his trust; first, he was an asset then over time an ally. Now, the two are actual friends.

Spanner: (m 31)Scout and general fix-it guy; also, the only legitimate psychic in the group. While Merlin did recruit him, it was he who approached Merlin with enough info to get his attention, but enough blanks to fill in to get him to trust. The WORST diplomat of the group; has a thing for Skye, but has been warned away.
