Weapons and Armor: I'm going for a homebrew version of firearms and armor. Should it not work, I will be available to change it.
Armor will provide a Physical Armor Class (PAC) and a Ballistic Armor Class (BAC). PAC applies against non-firearm attacks, while BAC applies against firearms. All Pathfinder effects which grand an AC bonus that does not apply to touch attacks (armor, shield, natural) apply to PAC. Effects tailored to firearms generally add to touch AC, but should there be an ambiguity, they default to applying to BAC.

Traits
1:Focused Mind [Magic Trait]

Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.
2:Laundry Operative: [Campaign Trait]
The Laundry has the widest archive on magic in the world, and you picked some things up. Choose a cantrip (except those on the cleric and druid spell list). You can cast that cantrip at will. If it allows a save, the DC is 10 + 1/2 character level + your highest mental skill modifier. Canny Effort

Pick a class with a manifester level when you gain this trait—your manifester level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your manifester level above your current Hit Dice. You must have a level in the class chosen to gain this benefit
Drawbacks:
1: Paranoid [Drawback]
You believe that someone or something is always out to get you, so you have a hard time truly trusting anyone.
Effect: Anyone who attempts an aid another action of any type to assist you must succeed at a DC 15 check instead of the normal DC 10 check.
Special Abilities
[Class]
Mental Intrusion (Ex)

Other Racial Traits
Pass for Human:
Discrimination against tieflings with horrifically fiendish features is so intense that even tieflings look up to those precious few of their kind who can pass as human. These tieflings have otherworldly features that are so subtle, they aren’t often noticed unless the tiefling points them out (for example, eyes that flash red in the throes of passion, or fingernails that are naturally hard and pointed). Such a tiefling doesn’t need to succeed at a Disguise check to appear to be human and count as humanoid (human) as well as outsider (native) for all purposes (such as humanoid-affecting spells like charm person or enlarge person). The tiefling does not automatically gain his associated outsider language (but may select it as a bonus language if his Intelligence score is high enough), and he may not select other racial traits that would grant him obviously fiendish features (such as the fiendish sprinter, maw or claw, prehensile tail, scaled skin, or vestigial wings alternate racial traits). This ability alters the tiefling’s type, subtype, and languages.
Skills
The psion's class skills are Autohypnosis* (Wis), Craft (Int), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually)* (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). Telepath (Telepathy): Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), and Sense Motive (Wis).

Telepathy Discipline:
A psion who chooses the discipline of telepathy is known as a telepath. He is the master of powers that allow mental contact and control of other sentient creatures. A telepath can deceive or destroy the minds of his enemies with ease.
Discipline Talents (Ps)
Choose two powers from the following list: conceal thoughts, mind link, mind thrust, telepathic lash.
As long as you maintain psionic focus, you may manifest either of your chosen powers without paying a power point cost, but the power may not be augmented or affected by metapsionic feats. The damage of mind thrust is reduced to 1d6. You may only use conceal thoughts on yourself if used as one of your discipline talents.
Mental Intrusion (Ex)
At 2nd level, as long as you maintain psionic focus, increase the save DC of any mind-affecting power you manifest by 1 for every 2 power points you spend augmenting the power, provided the augmentation does not already increase the power’s save DC.

Class Features
The following are the class features of the investigator.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Investigators are proficient with simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, short sword, and sword cane. They are proficient in light armors, but not shields.
The psychic detective does not receive Acrobatics, Climb, or Perform as class skills. This alters the investigator’s class skills.
Spell Casting
A psychic detective casts psychic spells drawn from the psychic class spell list and augmented by a select set of additional spells (see Psychic Detective Spells). Only spells from the psychic class spell list of 6th level or lower and psychic detective spells are considered to be part of the psychic detective’s spell list. If a spell appears on both the psychic detective and psychic class spell lists, the psychic detective uses the spell level from the psychic detective spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a psychic detective must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against a psychic detective’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the psychic detective’s Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a psychic detective can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. She knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spells slots per day as a bard of her investigator level, and knows and uses 0-level knacks as a bard uses cantrips. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score.
At 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, a psychic detective can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows, using the same rules as a bard.
In effect, the psychic detective loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell the psychic detective can cast.
A psychic detective need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any psychic detective spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
Psychic Detective Spells: A psychic detective has the following spells on her spell list, in addition to psychic spells of 6th level or lower.
6th—Banishment, moment of prescience, scrying (greater).
This ability replaces alchemy.
Inspiration (Ex) [6/day]
An investigator is beyond knowledgeable and skilled—he also possesses keen powers of observation and deduction that far surpass the abilities of others. An investigator typically uses these powers to aid in their investigations, but can also use these flashes of inspiration in other situations.
An investigator has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). An investigator’s inspiration pool refreshes each day, typically after he gets a restful night’s sleep. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed.
**An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill.
Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator’s pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Trap finding [+1]
An investigator adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum 1). An investigator can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps.

write five things about your character’s concept and background, five things that you think are the most essential parts of your character. You don’t have to stop at five, if you like…this is just a minimum.
1)Lady Calista Da Romano is a Laundry Operative, she has been for over 100 years. Working in the Desk and heading out into the world as a researcher and hunter. She had often worked Mind-hunting missing or AOL agents. She may look young but she is an old woman in a young woman's body, so she can be a bit crotchety at times and very hard to get to know.
2)She was born to a wealthy and Noble Italian family some 142 years ago. After is became clear she was not normal she was sent to "Study" at Oxford England. There she got a under and post grad in the history of mathematics and mysticism. She was recurred by her Teacher, who was at the time her lover and with his help she started to unlock the power of her mind fully. Later he left, on business he said. She heard soon after he had been killed while travailing in India.
3)Worried she would be seen as some kind of immortal she as stayed in the Laundry. She is now however extremely well traveled, both with tactical teams or on reserch. She has done many bad things, killing innocents to save many more. Her party trick is to jump out of planes with out a shoot. Having the ability to levitate herself before landing.
4)She does not see herself as intelligent but more that others are slow. Her near photographic memory and sharp mind can call up facts and knowledge others take to long to get. She often feels like she is running three sentences ahead over everyone else. Her main task is to very and rack other agents for the Laundry. Also in some cases train them and go with them on missions.
5)Her mother and father, brother and sister passed away same time age. She placed the family holdings in trust. At present she has taken on the identity of her own Great, grand-daughter. She believes she is sterile as she has never gotten pregnant. She did adopt a child once, who passed way in WW1 at the age of 20.
6)Because she is so long lived she now is very carful about getting to know others, This has made her seem cold and distant to others. It's extremely hard to get to know her.
Step 2: List two goals for the character that you, as a player, think would be cool to see accomplished in-game. During any session in which you take positive action to achieve that goal, I will award you an action point that can only be used in scenes furthering that goal. These Action Points are separate from the action points you gain by resting and reaching milestones. You can change goals later, though you lose all the accumulated Action Points for the goal you abandoned.
1)To find out what happened to her old teacher some 80 years ago.
2)To carry on working at the Laundry and help protect her safe haven.
Step 3: List two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
1) [known] She took part in the December 5, 1872, Abandoned Ship, Mary Celeste incident. But does not talk about what happened on that day.
2) [unknown] She has no idea she is a Tiefling, She thinks she is human who is gifted or coursed with long life. Where in fact Her father was a researcher into the occult, working with a group in the Vatican to craft a new Super Swiss Guard. She a Tiefling, was one of the outcomes.
Step 4: Describe three people that are tied to the character though blood, romance or honor. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. All can do something useful for you, if you can get the situations to line up. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you.
1) Stewart Menzies, head of newly made SIS, who has used her for the vetting troops.
2) The head of the Landry [Redacted] Who she has been working for and who knows of her talents. Some of her new magic skills come from his offer of training.
3)Barron Gustav Rake The IV: The head of the 'Depatmento Investigate' and part of the churches secret service. An Italian now based in Berlin who she has more then once come across. Over the last 60 years, she shot him once in the head and yet he still comes back. She has no idea WHY he is following her or what his objectives are.
Describe three memories that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
1) Sitting in the snow in the Himalayas talking to a Yvette about the modern world and how the whole things going to pot. The Yvette had killed the small group of Spanish Mountaineers she had been with. She was a bit annoyed but befriending the Yvette, she spent 2 years with him roaming the mountings looking for a lost artifact. It was some of the best days of her life.
2) Spending sweaty nights hunting missing agents and others who where sort by the Laundry in her dreams. She was once tasked with finding "One-Ball" himself but he is warded from any from of tracking she knows. One of the most frustrating things in her life.
3) Standing before a German tank, deep in the France woods, its barrel turning to point at her group. Reaching out her mind and pulverizing the tank crew inside. Hearing Screams and cries as her gifts crushed them to a pulp. It was the most horrifying feeling she had ever had.
