Leaving it undefined just makes us look like E88 material.

They already know we are a parahuman with mental issues, defining People as someone with powers wouldn't do much.
There is a big difference between an amnesiac parahuman and a parahuman who doesn't even consider non-parahumans to be real. I'd also rather be seen as an amnesiac with E88 leanings than one who doesn't consider non-parahumans to be real.
I can't recall any stories that really show this kind of mentality, though 'A Prison of Glass' over on SB is close (it's canon character / not instead of parahuman / not).

She has shown herself to have mental issues severe enough that the hospital and the PRT think she needs a caretaker. Her being detached enough to think that people she doesn't remember, like her Dad, and that her power doesn't tag as actually there, aka Parahuman, aren't real isn't that much of a stretch. It would also raise less questions than an amnesiac who somehow kept a learned behavior like racism.

Also Parahumans on a whole show a great disregard for non powered people. It's almost never outright stated, but if you look almost every parahuman acts like they are more important than unpowered people.

I feel like that may just be a byproduct of "humans + power", parahuman power or otherwise...

[x] You'd prefer it if he stayed with you. Having most of your new memories be of a non-relative and possibly a non-person would be counterproductive.

I will be combining the first two for the purposes of beating "Ignoring medical advice..."

...Or, actually, let's simplify this. Partially locking the vote; those of you who were voting for "Ignoring medical advice," pick between "You don't need a caretaker" and "You could MAKE a caretaker" as the primary vote. Feel free to toss on sub-options if you feel like it, but we're late enough in voting they probably won't get enough traction. Everyone else is still free to switch their vote between the two options or even join in at all.

You got it Boss.
We need an Uncanny Valley style one though. Like a really, really Human looking Genestealer or something.
