Permissions for post-15 Strangers

[foolishjustice]

▷ First Impressions ▶ VISUAL: 5'10", fluffy brown hair and red-brown eyes. Dresses in biker clothing, when he's not in one of his Metaverse outfits. Occasionally has pure white crow wings, with a span of about 12'. ▶ AURAL: His voice is smooth, a little on the deep side, but not extremely so. Defaults to a calm, even tone, with a hint of perpetual amusement. ▶ OLFACTORY: Strawberry-ginger soap, coffee, and leather. ▶ DEMEANOUR: Goro carries himself with an air of confidence, tempered with a sort of playfulness that makes him seem slighly more approachable. However, something always seems slightly off, like there's more to him than there seems. His gaze is sharp and perpetually attentive and his movements occasionally seem measured, as though he's only recently learned to relax and keeps falling back into old habits. When he is at ease, his movements have an almost theatrical flair to them, with the grace of an experienced athlete...or a fighter. He heavily favors his left hand, but always offers his right whn expecting someone else to take it.

▷ IC Permissions ▶ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Please do, this boy is tactile and touch starved. He might react badly if touched without warning, though. ▶ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: If you want to, go for it...but keep in mind he's likely to retaliate. Nothing lethal without previous planning, of course. ▶ RELATIONSHIPS: Take it up with his boyfriends. Anything platonic is welcome, though. He needs more people he feels close to. ▶ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: He has six fragments of his psyche rattling around in his head, each with its own distinct personality. He also has resistance to certain kinds of mind reading, but if you can get past that...he's a mess, and it's pretty quickly obvious that the composed front he shows is the result of a lot of self-control and self-awareness to boot. ▶ MAGICAL INFORMATION: He's a minor deity, so ridiculously magical. He also has various psychic abilities of varying power, and especially perceptive senses might notice a hint of another deity's power in him. ▶ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Well, he's dead, so there's that. It doesn't seem to have impacted his caffeine addiction or general sleep deprivation much, unfortunately. Otherwise, he's in remarkably good shape for lacking a heartbeat. ▶ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Child abuse, sexual exploitation, mistreatment of orphans or illegitimate children, and suicide all count as offensive subjects for him. Cats taller than his waist will send him into a violent panic attack, cats between knee high and waist high make him uncomfortable.

▷ OOC Permissions ▶ BACKTAGGING: Yes please! Sometimes work leaves me tired, so I appreciate if threads are still going when I get to my days off. ▶ THREADHOPPING: Generally okay, but ask first if the thread is serious. ▶ FOURTHWALLING: I don't mind if canonmates don't. Goro will be slightly bewildered and very nervous, but it wouldn't cause an existential crisis. ▶ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Use common sense, but as long as you aren't making light of real life tragedies, you should be fine. ▶ ANYTHING ELSE? Goro Akechi is a nerd, pass it on.

▷ Permissions For You <b>Scanning:</b> Goro has the ability to read others' surface thoughts. Can he do this to your character? Would you rather he not? <b>Imprinting:</b> Related to Scanning, this is the ability to implant thoughts into someone's head. They will seem like normal thoughts to the recipient, and he can't affect how they respond to said thoughts. He can also implant entire memories, which will be more obviously out of place. Is it okay if he does this? Is there anything you'd rather he NOT do with this power? <b>Call of Chaos:</b> This one is opt-in. Goro has the power to temporarily break the bonds on a person's heart, causing them to act on their base desires without regard for things like law, morality, consequences, or personal attachments. He won't use this without some sort of reason, but let me know here if you'd like to plan something with him using this on your character at some point.

Comments

[rhododendronhoney]

Scanning: Cori has natural immunity to mind-reading that she can't actually drop, so unless Touma comes in he won't be able to.
Imprinting: She could be affected by this, but her psionic sight would probably let her notice the effects. Although unless she saw him using it directly she wouldn't be able to tie them to him right away.
Call of Chaos: Hmm...would you classify it as mind control? If it's mind control, she also has a natural immunity to it, but otherwise she does have the potential to be affected by it, and I might be interested in something with it.

[stormkingofshepherds]

Scanning: I'm fine with this for Nathaniel!
Imprinting: Same for this!
Call of Chaos: I'm not as interested with doing this with Nathaniel, although I'll let you know if that changes.

[founderinglight]

Scanning: Go for it! C/Ping myself from Akira but - Even though it's only surface thoughts, Izunia tends to be a bit scattered, in the "keeping track of far too much shit at once" way. So exactly what subject is on the surface tends to fade in and out.
Imprinting: Thoughts yes, memories... are likely to be a bad idea CRways so I'd prefer to discuss it first.
Call of Chaos: I'm potentially up for this! Obviously it would call for plotting out first, because Izunia's base desires are... um. well. probably not what Goro expects, and he'd likely just promptly spill all his secrets in total meltdown mode.

OH RIGHT I ALSO MEANT TO NOTE but special jazzhands for Composerfriends: On higher frequencies, Izunia appears not as human but as a massive suit of armor composed of light magic. His soul is fundamentally altered by being an ascended (=dead) Lucian King, but he's fine, really, nothing to see here.

[lepape]

Scanning: Makoto won't like it, but he doesn't really have any power that would prevent it happening. Personally, I'm fine with it!

Imprinting: I'm also okay with this, with some communication beforehand if it's anything major!

Call of Chaos: Considering...I'm guessing this isn't something that Akechi will want to pull on this particular person right now, but I'm game if it ever does become an option he might consider, to plot something out! Basically, it's not off the table for him.

[dubiouslychthonic]

Scanning: Go ahead! She has no specific defenses against telepathy of any kind, and isn't particularly bothered by what she would view as incidental psychic contact.
Imprinting: This one's a bigger deal - OOCly I'm ok with it, but if Jetshard realizes this has been used on her to any degree without her prior approval, it's going to essentially negate any positive opinion she might have of Goro in a way that's going to be very hard to get back.
Call of Chaos: Not interested in this at this time.

[bulletnews]

Scanning: Yeah, he can.
Imprinting: That'll be fine as well.
Call of Chaos: Obviously not under usual circumstances, but let's talk privately if you or I come up with some reason he would want to do this to a tengu who's powerful even by tengu standards.

[photoshooter]

Scanning: Totes go for it.
Imprinting: He can do this, but know that it'll 100% tank his CR with Prompto if Prompto realizes what happened and who it was, no matter how innocuous. If it's something you want to do, let me know so we can both be sure we're okay with the fallout.
Call of Chaos: I can't imagine any reason to try this on Prompto, but if something comes up that could be fun, I'll be sure to let you know.

And a side note for me personally, I'm still sllloooowly going through a P5 LP and don't want to be spoiled if I can help it. I know a couple things about Akechi but I still want to be surprised--sorry if this makes things difficult. If you can warn me if a spoiler's about to come up in a thread with me, that would be awesome. No worries!

[thoroff]

Scanning: Go ahead.
Imprinting: Thoughts, no problem. Memories... let's talk it out first just to be safe.
Call of Chaos: I'm not really interested.

[matchmakes]

Scanning: Go ahead!
Imprinting: Thoughts are fine, memories less so, I'd rather talk it out first. Either way Robin probably wouldn't take it well if he found out.
Call of Chaos: Not interested in this for Robin.

[nojohnyouare]

Scanning: Go right ahead.
Imprinting: Fine for both, though she'd probably notice. Mai's had her memories messed with already and memory is a Thing in her canon.
Call of Chaos: I don't have plot ideas for this, but sure, I'll keep my options open just in case.

[theosophomoric]

Scanning: Go ahead!
Imprinting: This is also fine, although if Sonja realizes it's happened she's going to have a lot of questions. Probably not upset, just super intrigued by what he's doing.
Call of Chaos: If a reason for this comes up, let's talk.

[moonlightglory]

Scanning: Permission granted.
Imprinting: Permission tentatively granted, but let's hash it out case by case if it comes up.
Call of Chaos: I'm not sure offhand what this would look like for Faith but I'm down for it.

[plentyfriendly]

Scanning: Yes he can.
Imprinting: A-OK.
Call of Chaos: Phi would be a weak target anyway, but even in the first place he'd probably agree she's been through Enough if he knew what she's done/had to do/experienced. So, I don't think either of us have any plans with this.

[temperedavatar]

Scanning: Yes
Imprinting: Plot first.
Call of Chaos: As of right now...pass. But we'll see if things change.

[biddentodance]

Scanning: Go right ahead!
Imprinting: Also fine, but would rather have this more planned.
Call of Chaos: I'm not opposed if this ever becomes relevant, we just. Might need to figure out how it plays with the seal. Don't wanna accidentally break that.

[fistsofchange]

Scanning: Go while
Imprinting: This is allowed for gags or with prior plotting.
Call of Chaos: Lin's character is based around her own intense morality so there might be something interesting we can do here. I dunno what off the top of my head though. Let's keep this in mind for future reference...

[daughterofthemark]

Scanning: Do it. Find out that Arianna thinks that chair over there is really cute.
Imprinting: He can do this, but know that she'll be freaked out a bit by it.
Call of Chaos: I'm not ruling this out, but I have no specific ideas about it.

[fifthreplacement]

Scanning: This is fine. Sync tends to be rubbed the wrong way if he finds out though.
Imprinting: I am okay with this, but Sync is volatile and may react very badly to this.
Call of Chaos: This is interesting and potentially amusing given Sync, but I have no ideas for it right now. But I am chill with it.

[bloodyashes]

Scanning: Scanning is good on this one, but Asch is... reasonably sensitive to feelings of intrusion on his mind? (He has some minor experience with a telepathy link.)
Imprinting: Due to the negative reaction he'd have, I'd prefer to avoid Imprinting.
Call of Chaos: With planning, this is cool! I'm honestly not sure how Asch would react at this point to it, however.

[class_struggle]

Scanning: Alex'll be annoyed, but go for it.
Imprinting: Please do not do this without planning it out well in advance - Alex has recent gaslighting trauma and this will evoke that in him.
Call of Chaos: ...Alex might willingly do this to win a desperate fight tbqh.

[hurt_comforting]

Scanning: This will upset Merry, which isn't a no - I'm fine with this.
Imprinting: Absolutely not.
Call of Chaos: Meredith is surpassingly unlikely to agree to "going Id Mode."

[thecompletionofthings]

Scanning: OK.
Imprinting: If Harriet realizes he has done this, she will react with extreme violence. So…not unless you want to throw down, with lots of broken scenery.
Call of Chaos: See Imprinting above, but with more broken scenery because Harriet will no longer give a damn. Also, please see Harriet's permission post, as she has a specific ability to detect when powers like this have been used.

[moarlazersplz]

Scanning: You're more than welcome to see/read/scan her thoughts - there's nothing really protecting them from being read.
Imprinting: On the other hand, she does have a powerful natural protection to mind-altering effects, thanks to the Echo, and so while he's welcome to try, it probably wouldn't work.
Call of Chaos: This....hm. Maybe. Eventually. This hitting Ruto while she's running as a Dark Knight could be very fun in an awful-no-good kind of way. Still, possibly something to avoid for the time being.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Scanning: /thumbs up
Imprinting: a la kurama, I'd prefer this being a case by case individual plotty basis
Call of Chaos: I don't know that there'd ever BE a reason, but I'm down for it if such a thing should ever come up!

[fullmoonfool]

Scanning: This is fine by me
Imprinting: I'm generally okay with this, but Minako will associate the power with what the Shadows do to normal people during the Dark Hour, drawing them into Tartarus, so she may take it badly.
Call of Chaos: No ideas for this, but also fine with it, because I am a bad person.

[shatteredeclipse]

Scanning: Permitted.
Imprinting: Individual plotty basis.
Call of Chaos: Individual plotty basis.

[thedarkheir]

Scanning: I'm fine with it. Soma may be wary if Akechi lets it slip.
Imprinting: Just ask me first, but fair warning unless for some reason Soma volunteer for it, it will tank his CR.
Call of Chaos: Now this might be interesting, as it might break Soma's heart, or it may inadvertently awaken Dracula for the moment. Might be interesting for plot basis.

[starswink]

Scanning: This is actually fine to do! Although you might wanna look at Yoosung's permissions if he's going to do any heavy memory reading because some of his triggers are in there. He tends to be pretty honest with his thoughts anyway.
Imprinting: It would be very possible to do! Yoosung will really dislike it if he ever finds out though, especially if he's creating memories.
Call of Chaos: Why would he ever want to do this to Yoosung. But I'd be game.
