Give me the bones of what you believe

HEY GUYS, WHAT'S UP.

It's one of those general permission posts that Roni's putting up again. we're all bearing with her, it's terrible. Aracely has some pretty insane powers, and whether she's manipulating people emotionally or "getting the gist" of the thoughts and emotions around her—she's an incredibly god-modey demigod! She also has no concept of personal barriers. Thus, these permissions were born. I'm going to give everyone a good gist of her powers, and if you want to opt-out, want to give me pointers, or want to discuss how your character will react to her and plot with it, you can do so here! If you want to discuss how to go about something else or something here and don't want to do it here, please feel free to drop me a line!

⇢ EMPATHETIC ABILITIES

Aracely’s strongest ability, her empathetic powers allow her to feel the resonance of the emotions around her, even at long distances. She can pinpoint them to specific people, and she can also get a “general feeling” when there are strong emotions around her. This ability also allows her to manipulate emotions (fear, especially), even so far into specific fears of certain things (arachnophobia as an example).

⇢ TELEKINESIS / SELF-POWERED LEVITATION

Aracely’s mild telekinetic abilities are mostly used to make herself float. She likes to float upside-down sometimes when she’s sleeping. She can also “think” things around her and “make them appear,” she does this with her costume, which appears because she claims she “thought about it really hard.”

⇢ TELEPATHIC ABILITIES

She can sense thoughts and project her own thoughts into people’s heads, though she’s only demonstrated this with Kaine so far. The whole ability seems a bit trial and error with her, as it boils all the way down to “thinking really hard about something,” again. She’s also capable of learning other languages from others. Currently she can speak Spanish, English, Japanese and Romanian.

⇢ OPT IN/OUT

opt in for fun!
If you don't mind Aracely using her abilities to "feel out" your characters, please fill out this little survey for me! Feel free to opt in/out to whatever you'd like. If your character has telepathic/empathetic powers you'd like to discuss with me, please feel free to expand on it all you like (the little survey is for convenience, really). You can just put a big "YES" if you want, or fill out as many questions as you need to that pertain to your character.

<span style="font-family:times, times new roman; font-size:14pt;">( <em>empathy</em> )</span> <b>can Aracely feel out or "get a gist" your characters emotions?</b> For mingling and general network interaction. This is just "this person is walking by and they feel sad!" or "this person has some obsessive emotions about spicy curry!" it can be as wide or specific as you'd like. If there are some encompassing emotions that your character also feels all the time that she might get a gist of, you can put it here too! <b>what emotions are all right for her to explore?</b> If there's anything you'd like to be off-limits OR if there's something you'd like her to poke around in, please tell me here! <b>can Aracely manipulate your characters emotions?</b> Feel free to y/n or go into specifics. "No, but if you ask nicely..." or "Yes, but please don't touch the joy gained from the sad goats." <b>if yes to above, is there specific fear(s) that Aracely can exploit?</b> Arachnophobia, claustrophobia, thanatophobia! The works! Fear of dad rejecting them, fear of being eaten by Titans, whatev, whatev you want to play with! <b>is there anything else you’d like me to know? Emotional questions?</b> GO WILD. <span style="font-family:times, times new roman; font-size:14pt;">( <em>telepathy</em> )</span> <b>can Aracely feel out or "get a gist" of the subjects your character is thinking about?</b> This can be as opt-inny or opt-outy for specifics as you want it to be. This is for general mingling and network interaction. It can be as simple as something as a song they’re thinking about. <b>is your character a telepath? can they be around Aracely?</b> She has quite a way with telepaths (see notes in the post). <b>is there anything else that you’d like me to know? Questions?</b> Freespace!!

opt out! also for fun!
If you want to opt out completely from Aracely having any influence/being able to feel out your characters thoughts/emotions, please let me know! This doesn't keep me from rping with you (but that's also fine too), but just makes it so I'm aware that you don't want Aracely reading thoughts/emotions.

notes for telepaths ... Aracely's demigods powers can be a handful if she decides to focus them. She's messed up some Phoenix-level telepaths. What any telepaths want to do with this is up to their discretion! Please let me knowwwww and we'll figure things out!
