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: Ammmy

Character opting in: Cosima
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: She's been in Thedas long enough to be aware that blood magic optics are bad, but doesn't have the same kneejerk fear of it that many natives do. (She's also a rifter, so she's like "uh if you are not using blood, I am not sure how this is blood magic.") Might have a talk with her about the potential risks of other people knowing, especially given her leadership responsibilities, but will not freak out herself.

Character opting in: Julius
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Not great Bob. Julius has some blood magic baggage that means he takes it pretty damn seriously. Like a lot of the other mages, though, he's more inclined to tell other mages so they can try to deal with it in house. He also intellectually understands rifter magic can be different, but may need to be talked down a bit from an initial reaction.

Character opting in: Vanya
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Negative but he's not a narc. If she doesn't seem immediately dangerous, he's likely to keep an eye on/distrust her but unlikely to call the magic cops.

Character opting in: Siegfried
Character attitude to telepathy/blood magic: Wow, seems interesting, but also please do not notice he has any emotions other than enthusiasm for his job. (Which is to say: fine with it in theory, could be prickly in practice depending on what she notices.)

Situations in which telepathy is permitted: OOC: I'm down whenever! But if you want to talk about potential fallout in a specific situation before we go there, feel free to grab me on plurk or discord first.
