MoM Permissions & Opt-Out

[afallon]

Askeladd's powers in MoM are true nature and foresight. The fist allows him to tell the general character of a person by looking at their face. Weak and cowardly? Highly principled? He can see it. The second allows him to see brief glimpses of the future (limited to a few hours ahead) in high-stakes situations, such as fights.

I will not, of course, be using these in any threads with player characters without receiving permission first! Please comment here with:

1. an opt-in or opt-out for true nature, and your character's main traits if opting in
2. an opt-in or opt-out for foresight



Additionally, I know that Askeladd is not going to be someone everyone wants to play with! His canon backstory and involvement in the main narrative involves medieval forms of slavery, child abuse both experienced by him and perpetrated by him, and a whole lot of murdering people. If you'd rather not be tagged, just let me know here, in my HMD, or through PM.

1. True nature is a go! Nox generally means well and prizes restraint, buuuut that doesn't mean he's necessarily "good." Main traits would be that he's pragmatic, prizes efficiency, and a very principled person... but also a hell of a sadist, inherently suspicious and distrustful of others, loves the thrill of killing someone in combat (or just executing them in general), and unbelievably vindictive. With maybe a dash or two of self-loathing.

Oh, and feel free to have him be able to tell that Nox has five ghosts trapped inside him to steal power from if you think it's something that'd be noticed. Even if it's just a "wait why am I seeing six people" sort of thing. Heck, Askeladd can run a True Nature check on the ghosts too if you want (just let me know and I can try to come up with a list).

2. Opt-out for foresight. Sort of. At his current point in canon, it's literally impossible for even dedicated mystics to see his future, even though that's kind of their entire thing. It's not like it's obscured or unclear, it's just sort of. Blank. Like he's not even there to observe. So feel free to go nuts with that, and even use it as a source of suspicion if you want. If I ever canon update him to a point where the Emperor isn't living in his head, I may opt back in.
