⇓psychic permissions form⇓

If you're here, then you're probably pursuing a thread and/or CR with Penny and want to help make playing his psychic powers easier, and for that I thank you soooo much. I've made a little form to fill out that covers the bases of his abilities, and if you want a more detailed rundown of his powers, please check out the abilities section of his application.

In short, Penny picks up on the thoughts and feelings of other people pretty much constantly, most of the time it's white noise since there's just so much from so many sources, including thoughts from whole other universes in certain cases. However, sometimes there are certain people whose thoughts and feelings stand out more than others, and then there are people who can close their mind more effectively.

If your character is prone to heightened emotional states that they struggle to control for whatever reason, such as mental illness, it's likely that they are projecting thoughts and feelings outward more loudly.

If your character is more closed off and in control of their feelings for whatever reason, be it years of practice or they're just more emotionally stable, then their thoughts will be more static sounding.

Then, there's characters who have powers and/or magic that allows them to defend against a psychic almost completely, and there's a section in the form for that as well.

Lastly, Penny is also able to delve deep into a person's mind and use spells that can manipulate their memories, dreams and control minds. He is against doing any of that stuff without someone asking him to, and even then he'd likely refuse, but I'll include a section for all of these abilities on the form to be thorough.

THE FORM:
<font face=georgia><big><span style="color: #872020;"><b>CHARACTER NAME</b></span></big> (<user name="characterjournal">) <b>DEFENSES:</b> Does your character have powers and/or magic that can defend against psychic abilities? If so, please detail them in a sentence or two, and please fill out the rest of the form in case they lose those defenses in the future. If not, skip this part. <b>MENTAL STATE:</b> What sort of mental and emotional state does your character have and how loud do you think their thoughts and feelings are because of that mental and emotional state? See the body of this post for more information. <b>OOC PREFERENCE:</b> Regardless of how loud their mind is or isn't, is there anything that you'd prefer Penny does not pick up on? Or perhaps you'd prefer he struggle to hear all of it. Deerington's warping should be reason enough for even characters with normally loud projected thoughts and feelings to randomly be hard for him to discern. Just let me know where you draw the line here. <b>MEMORY & MIND CONTROL:</b> Though Penny would never mess with someone's memories or attempt mind control, you can state here if you are against this ever happening anyway, OR if you're interested in one day trying to utilize his talents in these areas for a plot etc. <b>DREAM MANIPULATION:</b> Penny doesn't mess with dreams much, but he's not against doing it without permission for whatever reason. He also enters dreams to speak to people when they are asleep if there's no other way to reach them. Here is where you can make clear whether or not you are okay with him visiting their dream to talk to them, and/or mess with the dream they are having in some way. <b>ANYTHING ELSE?:</b> Have something else to say or suggest? I'd love to hear it!</font>

DEFENSES: nope

MENTAL STATE: very loud paranoia and anxiety. untreated ptsd from a variety of terrible events. a growing anger problem that he's trying to tamp down on. learned helplessness and plenty of exposure to mental, and physical abuse.

OOC PREFERENCE: go for it

MEMORY & MIND CONTROL: totally down to do something interesting with it at some point

DREAM MANIPULATION: do it

ANYTHING ELSE?:

DEFENSES: depends really. thom's healing power acts pretty much unprompted on himself so if it feels like an invasion or attack there's a chance his powers would try to flush it out. his powers also concentrate electrical impulses (that can lead to seizures) so if that sort of thing created some sort of interference there's also that. i'm always down for playing with it though.

ALSO. part of his own powers involve some level of empathy so there's always the possibility of some sort of feedback loop or something there maybe.

MENTAL STATE: he's in a sort of flux state regarding his own identity right now and trying to figure out what sort of person he wants to be. he's pretty ready to believe other people are judging him and has had suicidal thoughts in the past but he's been actively working to avoid giving into those thoughts. also so many gay thoughts, gosh.

OOC PREFERENCE: go for it

MEMORY & MIND CONTROL: feel like this would even more be an instance of his own powers creating interference, but again, always down to play with whatever comes of that sort of thing.

DREAM MANIPULATION: do it

ANYTHING ELSE?:
