As said earlier, Specialty Aspects behave just like Character Aspects with the only differences being that they have a much more narrow focus. Specialty Aspects are not meant to be applicable to as many different situations as a Character Aspect does. It represents skills that they are especially good or bad at or important relationships.

For Loren, we’ll start with her Exceptional Skill. We could represent her telekinetic abilities, but we want her to be more than just a psychic with a gimmick. She’s trained and she knows the value of other skills and tools. Also, even as a warrior with lots of telekinetic potential, human psychic warriors tend to find that enhancing existing weapons is more efficient than blasting away. To represent this, we’ll envision Loren as a weapon-user and just for the fun of it, we’re going to match her socially-awkward, common appearance with the skill set of a swashbuckling swordswoman. The swashbuckler without the quips, a Master-Class Swordswoman.

Next we move on to Loren’s Foes. Loren hasn’t attracted much attention yet and doesn’t have any specific enemies, however, like many real psychics, she has a really short fuse when dealing with people that claim to be psychics or paranormal researchers and have no understanding whatsoever of the real stuff. She really can’t stand dealing with all their crackpot theories and when they turn around and dismiss her as a skeptic it just annoys the hell out of her and makes her want to cry out Bloody New Agers.

Now we come to a piece of gear that is connected to Loren. We could further go with the sword-work thing, but I kind of have the feeling that replacing swords is part of why her resources are so small. Besides, it looks like a good idea to address her psychic abilities at least indirectly. Loren is a limited telekinetic, she has control over cloth, so it makes sense that she always tries to make sure there is an Omnipresent Roll of Cloth.

Now we come to Loren’s positive relationships. Her social awkwardness and drive, which probably feed into each other, have kept her from making too many long-term friendships. However, being a Member of Psyche’s Secretarial Pool is sort of like being an FBI agent to most of the Community. So she can gather a lot of respect by proxy from that association. This can also be used on some Knowledge rolls relating to paranatural and business knowledge that would be normal for these Psyche agents.

Finally we come to something that’s been talked about a lot but hasn’t be demonstrated much yet. Loren’s Social Abilities are pretty much straight average except for Resources. Despite this, she’s been discussed as socially awkward, in those words, a couple of times now. She wouldn’t have much trouble if she were interrogating someone or discussing business, but she Fumbles her Words in Conversation. Maybe her drive is an attempt to cover up this lack, or maybe this lack is a result of her single-mindedness. Either way, take her out of a case or an account book and she gets tongue-tied.
