Opt-Out/Opt-In

[thetruefocus]

Charles Xavier is an extremely powerful telepath who can hear the thoughts of people around him intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. If people are particularly upset or loud in their mind, he doesn't always have a choice. He also has strong empathy and can experience other people's emotions through their minds. He has reality manipulation and can make people see, think, and feel things they wouldn't ordinarily. He can freeze them entirely.

Opt-Out

Please reply to this if you would like Charles to never have access to your character's thoughts and feelings. If you would like to add stipulations like 'I will give you permission if I choose to in specific cases' that's totally fine.

Please reply to this if you're fine with Charles reading your character's minds and feelings. I will still always ask permission before I have him read anything that might be vital to your character or their growth. I always lean on the side of asking too frequently. I would also appreciate you replying here and letting me know any details you for sure would enjoy him picking up on and knowing about your character in advance.

If you ever feel uncomfortable about a tag in which he understands something about your character you don't like, please let me know and I will rewrite it immediately. I will never mind this! He's a godmod-y character so I want to be thorough.

babe u got me
you also know rowena, you know everything that he can pick up from her (and i'll definitely shove other stuff into the brackets etc)

[pse]

Yes, please! Charles is more than welcome to do his thing. Whatever you know from Kimiko's canon that you want to bring it, feel free. I can't guarantee she'll always respond warmly, but that's only an IC problem.

[catharses]

I'm all good with anything! Whatever's in the prose will be things Charles is welcome to pick up on and while Sunday might not like it, I'm fine with whatever happens IC. Feel free to ask me any questions at any time too if something's unclear since if it's about something in canon I'm happy to grab links for whatever it is at any time.

is this laziness or is this just preparation for all the telepaths

have at her lol

[littlemushroom]

He's absolutely allowed in! There are zero defenses in this mushroom's brain. I will gently link An Zhe's ability post, as there is the option for it to be a two-way street kind of deal. (Accidentally on An Zhe's end.) I am absolutely down for Charles to glean anything out of An Zhe's tags, and super open to talking about any swaps or anything specific for whatever scenario they might find themselves in.

[An Zhe's are very optional though!]

read! that! mind! Strange doesn't have any 'keep this telepath out of my head' magic, so have at it. One thing that's probably very apparent if he does only the surface level poking is that Strange's mental state isn't the best. I have no idea what lingering effects "creating and consuming a potion of concentrated madness which renders the drinker insane for a short period of time" have on the psyche but let's be real, there's gotta be an effect on the psyche.

I am both here for mind-reading and specifically for Charles figuring out that Cable is Scott's son. I am also down for Cable knowing Charles is in his head and telling him to bug off.

[carcajous]

You've got free rein with Logan, obviously, and any emotion/thought/etc. that's mentioned in the meta text is totally okay for Charles to pick up on. Logan pretty much trusts Charles 100% and will never be bothered by having him in his head.

[pagings]

REALIZING I HAVEN'T ANSWERED HERE YET!!!! but I am 100% on board for Charles to pick up on anything/everything Karen is feeling or thinking, or really anything in the meta text for him to pick up on. she's a bit of an open book anyway, and I'm fully comfortable with him knowing any of that. c:

she'll have a range of reactions to the whole daredevil/secret identity of it all because that's a little big triggering for her (see: dds3) but you know I, as a player, am SO down to play with any/all of that. c:

[decussate]

I am fine with Charles reading anything off Arlecchino he can get! There is a little tidbit re: empathy in her canon that is handy:

"I believe I've told you before that my emotions easily resonate with those of others. Yet, in the few meetings I've had with that Harbinger [Arlecchino], I haven't been able to sense any aspect of her emotional state. Her mind is like a still body of water — who knows what darkness lies in its depths, and the lack of ripples on the surface gives nothing away. It's unclear whether this is her natural state of being, or whether it's an incredible strength of will that gives her the ability to master her emotions. Either scenario, however, suggests she is a very dangerous individual."

So essentially, Charles probably wouldn't get much of anything from her on accident; he'd have to dig, and even then he'd probably have to go pretty deep since she's very careful about suppressing her immediate emotional responses.

Her raw thoughts, however, are game in my book! I'm happy to roll with anything, but feel free to ask questions too.

I'm good with it!! livio has dissociative identity disorder and has a second personality, razlo, born from trauma, who is currently dormant but comes out when livio's life is in extreme danger. livio himself is a reformed villain trying to do good, and shy, emotional, and socially awkward. his second personality, razlo is a lot more vulgar and violent and he exists to protect livio, essentially

livio also looks/acts like he's in his 30s but is actually about 16

let me know if you want more details about either livio/razlo!

ALMOST FORGOT TO HIT THIS -- but feel free to see into this guy's messy little brain, not limited to figuring out he's not fully human. 👍👍👍
