character name: mal player: anne what can she read? anything!! what us off-limits? nothing!! any notes? mal is supernatural but she has absolutely no psychic blocking abilities, so feel free to treat her thoughts as totally baseline human and accessible :>
character name: Syeira player: Ash what can she read? Omg everything??? Quick rundown, she's got a lot of crazy death/divine stuff going on. Her soul doesn't quite fit inside her anymore, cuz it got ripped out and the Taint got bigger. So it's crowded in there. Largely a good person. Lots of guilt over her friends Dynahier and Khalid because they were killed because they were her friends. LOTS of guilt over her friend Yoshimo, who she had to kill because he was under a geas, and he betrayed her to her enemy, and was then forced to fight him. Nightmares!!
what us off-limits?Nothing any notes? The Taint is kind of...sentient?? It talks to her in her sleep, so play with that if you want.
character name: George Cooper player: Leah what can she read? Anything, although if he finds out she's telepathic, he'll probably make efforts to avoid certain thoughts around her...however successful that might be. IDK he's sneaky, I don't even know what the thoughts would be yet. Specific job stuff, maybe? what is off-limits? Nope! Read away. any notes? He's got a power himself based around heightened instincts she might notice. That's all I can think of.
character name: Garrett Hawke player: Lynn what can she read? Aaanything she wants, I'll try to put cues in narrative. what us off-limits? Nothin'! I mean a lot of Hawke's memories are not ...pleasant? But I'm down for whatever you are. :> any notes? River is precious >:E
character name: Asteffiel player: Samm what can she read? Anything that's in brackets that looks like thought? If there's a bit of "thinking, thinking hard" its a bunch of random connections that slowly goes toward what the topic is. Usually. Getting the right name when he says the wrong ones would be perfect use of telepathy (At least for people in the fleet?) what us off-limits? I'd rather have him remember his sister on his own :|a (Coralberry/Viliandre) but that's the only thing I'd prefer her not to really pick up / share with him! any notes? Sylvari usually are connected to the Pale Tree, who kinda copies what the individual sylvari learn and shares it with the next gen of sylvari. Only Asteffiel is very far away from the tree.
character name: Duke Pantarei player: Samm what can she read? Anything? Duke comes with some nasty memories, which he generally avoids thinking about, but anything that looks like thought is fair game! what us off-limits? I can't think of anything. any notes?
character name: Elize Lutus player: Joly what can she read? Anything really! Elize is from an early point in her canon and much of her past she can't remember herself because of trauma. Some things she sees give her a small hint at her past (like seeing a man's beard, a town, etc.), but she doesn't clearly remember things. what us off-limits? Nothing! any notes? Noooot at the moment! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
character name: Polly player: Caten what can she read? Anything, really! what us off-limits? Nothing! Go for it, and ask me if you want to know anything. any notes? Riverrr <3
kind of just filling this out for everyone just in case
character name: Zhas + Robin + Krista player: Stick what can she read? Pretty much anything is fair game. If it's written up in their bios or you see me talking about it or whatever. what us off-limits? Nothing, and Robin's the only one who might get pissy and throw up a mental barrier after things start getting weird. any notes? NO NOT REALLY that was easy.
character name: Vash the Stampede player: Zig-zag what can she read? Anything! Let her powers run wild! what us off-limits? nothing any notes? I'm really flexible with RP if you ever want/need more info on Vash or what's going to happen in the near future to him send me a PM and I'll be happy to share some extra info!
character name: Finrod player: Beth what can she read? Anything? Everything? Like most elves he has some psychic ability, but it's minor, so he doesn't have blocks or anything. what us off-limits? Nada. He's used to psychic stuff, he'll roll with it. any notes? There's lots of trauma under the surface with him; he's seen lots of war, lots of loved ones died, he...died before coming here, etc. If you need more info than you can find poking around his journal or the 'net, just ping me and I'll blab at you.
character name: Axel player: Kari what can she read? most things, i think. Axel's a good liar, like crazy good, but sometimes calling him out on his crap is good for him. he's had a lot of trauma in his past--his home was destroyed by monsters and darkness, he lost his heart and emotions, his closest friends are all gone or possessed by the big bad, and he feels at least partly responsible for most of this, though he'll never admit it. he's killed one person and essentially set up one other to be killed and then watched it happen. these were colleagues of his, btw. ultimately he's actually a pretty nice guy, though; the deaths were on orders, and left to his own devices he likes kids and ice cream and the beach and would probably just nap all the time. what us off-limits? nothing i can think of! any notes? i love Firefly and i would really love to have CR with River~~~
character name: Zelos Wilder player: Yuff what can she read? Anything! He's dealt with a telepath before...though she was a bit saner. what us off-limits? I trust your judgement. any notes? Nothing I can think of???
character name: Kairi player: Kenkai what can she read? Anything! I'll try to remember to put indications of what she's thinking in the tags if we get to thread. what us off-limits? Nada any notes? None that I can think of!
character name: Clay Terran player: Kukki what can she read? Pft, everything. Clay has no telepathic abilities whatsoever, so go for it. what us off-limits? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. any notes? Nnnnot that I can think of!
character name: Stephanie Brown player: Birdie what can she read? Anything at all! I can drop things in narration, or you can poke me on plurk if you need something to play off of. what us off-limits? Nothing at all! any notes? She is having some serious PTSD over... basically being tortured to death before she showed up here? Aaaand bottling it all up but it's there barely under the surface. (Also yay River! <3)
character name: Beverly Crusher player: Alice what can she read? Beverly has no defense against telepathy, so basically anything. With a best friend who is an empath she's pretty used to having someone around that can read her better than most, so she'll be fairly chill about it, unless River intentionally uses the information in a bad way. If you have any questions about what Beverly is thinking in a particular moment, just let me know! what is off-limits? Nothing! any notes? None that I can think of except River <3 <3 <3
character name: Crowley, Sokka, Fenris and Manolo player: TF what can she read? EVERYTHING. what us off-limits? The only thing I'd say is Fenris' amnesia memories, if only because we don't actually know what those are. Everything else is fair game for all of them! any notes? Ilu?
character name: Cole player: Jemi what can she read? His own thoughts, feelings and memories. what is off-limits? I imagine what Cole can read isn't apparent in him. He senses it but it isn't part of him? any notes? You know where to find me.
character name: Tekhetsio player: Red what can she read? Anything, until he learns to guard his thoughts?? He tends to project his energy and leave himself open when he isn't being careful. He's a dragon with 870+ years of crap in his brain, whose being is connected in a very literal way to fate, worldstuff, and to humans... so he might be a trip to read, depending on how far she goes. Also, he carefully fabricates everything about what he shows to the world. He has built layers upon layers to cover up what is probably a scared, wounded runt with creatoress issues at his core. He's a pariah among his own kind, has a long history of being devastatingly traitorous, and he viciously guards many vulnerabilities within himself. what is off-limits? Nothing, but he might react badly to being poked at, depending on what she says. any notes? Dragons are actually very easy to contact mentally, but also have guards and defenses they can employ once they realize that someone is getting in. Don't know how that would affect things, though.
character name: Coil Lenn player: Red what can she read? Anything and everything. Clearsights are more susceptible than normal to psychic and empathic stuff, and Coil's necromancy doesn't help him much unless he makes a specific ward or something against it. But yeah, he's a very screwed up kid-- he was raised without a lot of 'normal' things, so he doesn't think like most people do. Was basically raised to be the perfect mage but could never please Mom. He's just a gross bundle of obsession and failure complexes. what is off-limits? Nothing! any notes? Coil has also been rendered mute (by his own handiwork, in a fit of despair) so having someone maybe able to understand what he wants to say could be cool. He's also fairly used to being around a word-salading telepath (his replacement mom), so there's that.
character name: Felix Harrowgate player: Rebecca what can she read? Pretty much anything, he needs some of his secrets poked at a bit, though he has a lot of past trauma floating around in there. His history is available in his profile for your perusal. what is off-limits? To be safe, any direct mention of Malkar should probably be avoided, though be aware that he might react badly to other things. It just depends on context. any notes? He might learn to hedge her out later if contact becomes a habit. He's applied magic to mental shields in the past. But I'll let you know if that happens.
character name: Megaman player: Alice what can she read? Anything is fair game really! Permissions post with mental info included is here, and more deets about this guy in general are here! what is off-limits? Honestly, if in doubt just let me know--I think, more on an IC level, Megaman would prefer that his status as a virtual ghost not be a terribly public bit of information, and would probably impart this wish to River if it were ever brought up. But we can hash this out as it happens, probably! any notes? N/A rly, feel free to hit me up if you ever have questions etc
character name: Lloyd Irving player: Moth what can she read? EVERYTHING. if you need some material or specifics, feel free to hit me up! what is off-limits? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING go crazy any notes? have fun with the soul of his dead mother lingering in that stone on his hand
character name: Jason Todd player: Jaqui what can she read? Anything goes. I can drop hints in narration, or you can hit me up on Plurk (storyinmypocket) if you want anything in particular. what us off-limits? Nothing. Bring the angst, I can take it. any notes? Jason's coming from a point where his beloved mentor nearly killed him rather than let him kill the guy who murdered him, so that particular wound is only barely scabbed over. And, y'know, there's a boatload of death/resurrection trauma that's still showing up in his nightmares on the regular, so she won't have to dig far to find all that.
