Coin Stollard, an Empath, was Keith Carberry's original player character for Twilight Mirage. Due to a mixture of misgivings around the issue of consent in the Empath playbook, and a general lack of connection to the character, Keith decided to change things up, and settled on playing as Gig instead.
Background
Coin grew up moving further and further away from having to use their abilities all the time. It's hard to process their abilities all of the time which allows for Coin to absorb emotions around themselves and if so choosing, manipulate them as well.
They want to be around people who are marveling at things, not around people who give off negative emotions. Because of their experiences in the fleet though, they've signed up to go planet side.
Their abilities, so far, are classified as uncanny and not technological in nature.
