Archetype:Hypnotist

The archetype for the characters that possess or have traits of a hypnotist.

Also Called[]

• Mind Controller
• Puppeteer

Properties[]

As an archetype, a hypnotist is a individual who has the ability to bring others into a trance state through eye contact to control their minds, erase memories or even change their personality. The user possesses the power to induce very potent hypnotic powers to their subjects, almost completely controlling them whether though unnatural birth causes, certain serums, genetic engineering, or exposure to radiation or biohazardous substances, like mutagens, cybernetic enhancements or any other methods in relation to genetic experimentation in that regard. Users can gain their powers by having their abilities bestowed upon them by supernatural beings, enchantment, training to self-bestow their powers like telekinesis for example, being blessed or granted wishes to obtain their powers, and among many other methods without any scientific modifications.
