Those who destroy knowledge, with ink, fire, or sword,

are themselves destroyed.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS on first meeting, ness may give the impression of someone attempting not to be noticed. she has a deliberately unassuming bearing and a tendency to cling to the edges of a room. her voice is high, with the range of a soprano, though she doesn't sing. she rarely raises her voice, except when particularly bothered, at which point she can lose track of both her volume and her reason and turn into madeline kahn. she bathes enough not to be particularly offensive in any manner, but only employs a faint rosewater scent for perfume.

IC PERMISSIONS

physical affection—pls hug her she needs it so badly
physical violence—you could pour hot soup in her lap and she'd apologize to you
relationships—she will accept men, women, and all those in between, of ages 18 and up
psionic information—her mind is Weird, and she is also psychic. let me know if you're getting in those brain meats and i can provide some flavor for your character to catch!

OOC PERMISSIONS

backtagging—always, no need to ask!
threadhopping—ask for a particularly emotional thread, but otherwise yes!
fourthwalling—unless it's integral to your character, like deadpool, please no.
format—brackets, but if you're very attached to prose i'll match!
offensive subjects—please warn for animal violence!

FADE RIFT TELEPATHY ness is a telepath who has to "switch on" her telepathy, so to speak—it isn't constantly running, so she won't be reading anyone's mind just by being in the same room as them. she may, though, choose to read and speak into someone's mind if she trusts them, if it benefits her in some major way to do so, or if she's afraid of not knowing what they're up to. given that in the setting only blood mages can do magic that affects the mind like that, ness is not likely to use her telepathy unless she feels absolutely safe with the person she's using it on, or she sees absolutely no other way to avoid an extremely negative outcome.

that being said, i completely understand that some people may not want her in their characters' heads at all! my default assumption will be that anyone who does not opt in to this power does not want their character's mind read, in order to avoid potentially causing any issues. if you don't mind ness using her telepathy on your character, please fill out the below form and leave a comment with the responses for each character that you're opting in for.

Player: MJ

Character opting in: Bastien
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Normal levels of scared of blood magic but likely to consider she’s a rifter and have a conversation rather than hit the panic button. Extremely offended by the potential intrusion aspect though.

Character opting in: Kostos
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Bad bad bad bad but like Isaac he would tell the mages so they could address the optics in-house before he would go to the div heads, Templars, etc. Probably. If he was really mad he might just make a crystal post to tell everyone.

Character opting in: Redvers
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: The worst. Would cause big problems if he was aware regardless of explanations, including telling Templar & Chantry folks outside of Riftwatch. Don’t recommend.

Character opting in: Xiomara
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Negative and suspicious about blood magic but could be like “oh okay” if explained to about telepathy being different in advance.

Character opting in: Siorus
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Pragmatic & curious.

Situations in which telepathy is permitted: Any & all, I like surprises and consequences.
