I'll be more or less test driving a psion in a run through of the Dragon's Demand module. He will be the only psionic character, so we'll use the magic/psionic transparency stuff.
I've never played a psion before, and I am looking for fleshing out his background/personality so that he isn't flat and completely predictable. Here is a stat block if that helps.
Any ideas for characteristics, backgrounds, anything fluffy is welcome!

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.
