totesafightinggraceCharacter: Po
Mun: The Sheep
Contact me at: iisheep on AIM, PM at this account.
Before Po becomes well-acquainted with anyone, I realize that I should probably make this permissions post to deal with his abilities. Po’s abilities are completely out of his control; he can’t focus them, heighten them, or turn them off, so everyone around him is affected by them. But I understand that in RP, there are some muns who don’t want their characters affected for various reasons. I’m perfectly open to fudging a reason for Po’s powers not work on these characters or coming up with some other way around it. If you could all fill out this meme when you see it to tell me what Po should and should not be able to do, I would be grateful.
Explanation of Po’s powers:
Po has a double ability. His first ability is a sort of low-level psychic ability. He can sense the thoughts of others but only the thoughts that pertain to him. He can’t tell who you’re in love with, but he can tell if you’re attracted to him. He can’t tell if you’ve ever killed someone, but he can tell if you’re about to stab him. He can’t sense if you hate your father or want to hug your inmate or sometimes wonder how your warden might taste. The only thing he knows is your intentions and thoughts toward him.
His other ability is a sense of the physical world around him. He can sense the presence and movement of other people and objects around him. He knows if someone is approaching on the other side of a door, even if they walk soundlessly. He knows when someone is running above him or if there is a tiny insect below his feet. He can sense the shapes of objects, and sometimes he can guess at textures. His sense of people becomes stronger the better he knows the person in question. His sense of strangers is a bit blurry, whereas he can sense every hair on the heads of his best friends and family.
I’m definitely okay with characters who need Po not to be able to sense them in one way or another, but I should warn you that Po uses his powers a lot. He’s recently gone blind, so he leans heavily on his extra senses to understand the world around him. He may have a hard time communicating with a character who he can’t sense at all, though I’m sure that would be a fun challenge for me as a mun!

6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts?

Date: 2012-02-17 05:34 am (UTC)Morrigan: Again, anything you want, but Morrigan's been shown to take exception when she discovers someone's attempted to read her thoughts. She isn't telepathic.
The T-X: Probably impossible, since this character is literally an emotionless robot. :)

Date: 2012-02-17 05:55 am (UTC)1: Can Po sense your character’s thoughts toward him? Yes

3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Yes
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? No, but you should get a heads-up that Angua might be confusing for him since she's a werewolf and transforms a lot
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? I'd prefer closer but we can work it out depending on CR
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? No
Amanda Young
Date: 2012-02-17 06:02 am (UTC)No.
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
N/A
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements?
I'm gonna say within reason? Like, he should be able to sense her and her movements, and if she's carrying something, but I'd prefer he not be able to sense WHAT she's carrying if she has something on her person.
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements?
I can't think of any right now. As long as you ask me in advance it should be fine. :3
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)?
Roughly the distance of a few rooms is fine with me.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts?
No telepathy or other superpowers.
For Arthas (darknessb4me) and Chromie (strangehistorian)
Date: 2012-02-17 06:35 am (UTC)Sure!
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
If Arthas re-acquires Frostmourne, then there would be heavy interference
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements?
Sure!
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements?
Nah
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)?
Far away's fine.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts?
Nope, neither does.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 06:50 am (UTC)2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts? Nah, Flemming never did find a way not to have psychics be invasive in his canon.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Sure!
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Nah. If something comes up to change this and it'll affect Po, I'll run it by you.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? Farther distance works fine.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? Nope, but he is familiar with psychics in his own world considering he's made them before.
Isaac Mendez (foresaw)
Date: 2012-02-17 07:02 am (UTC)Sure. :D
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
Nothing I can think of.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements?
Sure.
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements?
Again, none I can think of.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)?
Any distance is alright with me.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts?
No, but he has relatively weak precognition which might be worth mentioning. Nothing involving reading or sensing any thoughts, though.

Date: 2012-02-17 07:23 am (UTC)Lestat de Lioncourt
Mr. Pink
Peter Vincent
1: Can Po sense your character’s thoughts toward him? Yes to Pink & Peter; No for Lestat. Reason: he's dead. Therefore, there shouldn't be anything, technically, Po could read.
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts? None I can think of.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Sure! It will surprise Lestat. That's always fun.
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Nope!
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? Either/or is fine with me. But further away would probably need mentioned in a pm first? Just so it doesn't potentially mess with plots.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? None of mine do. Lestat has heightened senses, so it's close to telepathy, but not quite.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 10:18 am (UTC)1: Can Po sense your character’s thoughts toward him? Yes for Connor, can be...weird for Susan, but probably. Might be a little cottony at times if she's blocking or trying to block.
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts? No for Sarah. With Susan, she may be able to briefly muffle anything coming at her, but it wouldn't last long. She can put up a kind of mental wall to protect herself, but it's not really very strong.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Yes for both.
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Nope, it's fine.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? Susan: up close would be okay, tbh. Sarah: She's probably loud mentally, so sure.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? Susan is a latent telepath, so she can sense when she's being scanned 9and doesn't react well to it, her instinct is to mentally slap that person away and warn them off in sometimes an unconscious swat--she's not trying to be mean, but in her universe, there are people who abuse telepathy and just, reach in without asking. There were a few times in which she refused to be scanned by a telepath because it was an invasion of privacy and a personal affront to her, so she strongly objects. Susan can't actively use her abilities, though she can, when probed, sometimes block access.
Sarah isn't a teep, so she's not applicable.
Gregory House
Date: 2012-02-17 01:29 pm (UTC)2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
Can't think of any at the moment. Will let you know if something comes up.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Yes
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Not that I can think of, but will let you know if something comes up where it would be a problem.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? I'd prefer it be a closer distance--say 50 feet-ish
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? No telepathy

Date: 2012-02-17 03:40 pm (UTC)1. Sure! Considering there's really no visible way for most people to figure out what's going on in that head of his without having spent some serious time around him to figure out his tells, I'd be interested to see how it goes when there's someone who can right off the bat.
2. Can't think of any off the top of my head, but if something crops up I'll absolutely let you know.
3. Absolutely! For the same reason as number 1; most people can't even if he's right.behind.them (ohhh canon you are a silly silly thing), so it'll be interesting to have a changeup.
4. Same as 2; can't think of any right now but I'll let you know if it changes. Basically if he's actively trying to be Super Ninja I'll say please let him, otherwise feel free to know he's coming? Or lurking, whichever.
5.I'd prefer closer, but again that's only because he deals so much in stealth when he can. If there's a plot-related reason to sense him from farther away (or a CR one) go for it, otherwise a few rooms over max.
6. Nope! He's pure human.
Richie:
1. Yep! Please do, although a warning, they may not be entirely pleasant.
2. Nope! 24/7, have at it.
3. Absolutely; he's not exactly Mr Agility even on a good day, so there's exactly no reason he could ever not.
4. See three; zero, zip, zilch.
5. If there's a plot-related reason (...or a CR one, I guess) for him to go further, feel free.
6. HA no. He's a telepath's wet-dream, seriously (or...nightmare, depending on the circumstances); he projects like a mofo and has zero skills of his own.
Evil Ed:
1. Being a vampire, he's technically dead, so...I'm not sure if Po would be able to? No brainwaves, and all.
2. If there are extenuating circumstances (really strong emotions/certain floods) I'll say he CAN read him (what a twist), but pass it by me first.
3. Sure!
4. Erm. Plot-related situations where his anonymity is necessary, but. I'll discuss it with you first if it's needed. It probably won't be. haha
5. Plot/CR regulated for super-distance, but a fair bit of distance is a given.
6. Nope! Ed neither transmits nor receives particularly well.

Date: 2012-02-17 04:30 pm (UTC)2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts? See above?
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Sure.
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? When he's irritated or showing off his power, he'll seem more like a crack of light and static, but with effort Po should be able to track him (it might actually be easier.)
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? Far's fine.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? Nope.
This makes me want to bring back Psylocke, lol
Date: 2012-02-17 09:28 pm (UTC)2: I'll tell you if such an occasion arises.
3: Yes.
4: Again, I'll let you know if there's a reason for him not to.
5: As far as you need, I'm down.
6: Nope, just the ability to heal and such.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 10:25 pm (UTC)1: Can Po sense your character’s thoughts toward him? Sure! Although be forewarned that Satsuki has very few thoughts about anyone except herself.
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts? If I think of any, I'll let you know.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Yup!
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Nope!
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? Satsuki can be sensed from far away because she deals semi-telepathically with computers, so she... probably looks a little like a lightbulb. Steph not quite as much.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? Nada, unless he's a computer or you telekinesis.

6. No :(
T'Pol, Tim Drake, Arya Stark, Erik Lensherr, Morgana Pendragon
Date: 2012-02-17 10:56 pm (UTC)Yup!
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
Probably not, but if it comes up, I'll shoot you an IM.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements?
Yup!
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements?
Ditto 2!
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)?
Whatever distance you want sounds fine to me.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts?
T'Pol's a touch telepath, so unless I pull plot out of thin air, she can only really instigate telepathy through a mind meld. She isn't really telepathically strong/open enough to convey feelings and emotions and such through regular touch.
for Joshua Kiryu!
Date: 2012-02-19 03:40 am (UTC)2. Not that I can think of at the moment - if the two are involved in a situation together where I'd rather he not be able to read Joshua's thoughts, I will let you know.
3. Yes.
4. See the answer for two! Same deal, really.
5. I'm fine with him being able to sense Joshua from a long way away, I think.
6. Joshua IS telepathic. However, he probably won't be using it for a good long while, and I've nerfed him pretty hard to where he'd only really be able to sense surface thoughts if he tried to use it. For more information, there's also a permissions post in Joshua's journal.

6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? If so, can they sense Po’s thoughts? Yep and yessss, I suppose. Charles is pretty good about not doing it unless he has permission and I'll ask first before he peeks in, but I think he should be able to in theory?

Date: 2012-03-07 09:56 am (UTC)Sure. As a vampire, Julian has enhanced sensory perception, so perhaps there's a bit of a mess from all the impressions he gets.
2: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to read your character’s thoughts?
No.
3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements?
Yep.

No.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)?
Farther is okay. Might frustrate poor Julian, though, as he likes being stealthy. ;)

None at all.

3: Can Po sense your character’s body and movements? Yes - my question to you is how much information do you need from me with Po and Dean rooming next to each other? Would this ability extend that far?
4: Are there any circumstances in which you would like him not to be able to sense your character’s body and movements? Not off the top of my head, but if it arises, I'll flag you down.
5: Would you like him to be able to sense you only from up close, or is it okay if he can sense you from a farther distance (as much as half the length of the barge away)? If Po has that much interest in knowing where Dean is and what he's doing, that's fine with me. Might change for plot requirements, but again, I'll let you know if we end up interacting.
6: Does YOUR OWN character have any telepathy? None whatsoever. Just very, very good instincts.
