lifeaftr permissions
OOC PERMISSIONS
Player: Shana
Preferred Contact: plurk:
Usual tagging times/pace: EST, slow to medium pace.
Backtagging: Of course!
Fourthwalling policy: I would be very surprised if this comes up, but sure! I have no problem with it.
Action vs. Prose: Either
Offensive Subjects & Content Warnings: None for me, but Toby's power is blood-related so there's going to be a lot of blood cws for her, and specifically it often involves her cutting herself to access said blood. If you would like me to avoid discussing this or any other subject, or if you'd like to avoid threading with Toby altogether, let me know here! Please also feel free to pm me.
IC PERMISSIONS
Physical Violence: Pretty comfortable, but let's really talk about it.
Mental Information: Toby's seen some shit. I'm cool threading it out but again, let's talk OOCly first.
Physical Affection: I'm down if it makes sense!
IC Triggers: Nothing in particular.
Relationships: I'm open to any and all CR, though she might be slow to make romantic connections since she's currently engaged.
POWER-SPECIFIC AND/OR SPOILER PERMISSIONS
Toby's blood magic has lots of uses, but the one that she'll be using most frequently is her ability to sense the balance of the blood. Or more precisely, to sense what species a person is. It's pretty subtle and most people don't know she's doing it when she does, as the only outward sign is that she opens her mouth a bit to "taste" it.
In her world, she's only used the ability on Fae, since no non-Fae supernatural creatures have shown up, but I'm going to extend it to non-Fae here. She won't know what a vampire or werewolf feel like at first, for instance, but she won't forget once she learns. I'm gonna also say that different canon creatures have a slightly different taste, though not enough to be unrecognizable.
She can also smell magic and recognize who cast a certain spell by the particular smell left. For instance, her own magic smells like copper and cut grass, while the Tybalt's magic smells like pennyroyal and musk. Feel free to make up some sort of combination for your character!
She has other powers, too, like her ability to see a person's memories by tasting their blood, or her ability to actually change the balance of the blood, but she's very unlikely to use these abilities unless it comes up in a plot, in which case it would be better to discuss it then, as I'd need specific information in that case.
I realize that such knowledge can be pretty infomoddy if not dealt with carefully, so I intend to check with other players before having her use any abilities. To speed that along, however, I have made this handy dandy permissions post!
no subject
Species: demonic nephilim, specifically 1/4th demon!
Can your character do magic? If yes, what does the magic smell like? Sure can! They have two 'types' of magic they can use, natural and ritual. Ritual magic uses energy from outside of themself, so it will likely smell like something related to the specific spell's final effect, but their natural magic comes from their...well, blood, and that will likely smell like incense and sulfur.
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense these things? Go ahead!
Other notes: Chip can sense magic as well, though their vector of interpretation interpretation is through sight. The 'alignments' they can easily recognize are demonic, angelic, fae, and 'natural' for lack of a better snappy description--do you mind if they're able to pick up on her fae nature? (They wouldn't be able to see through her glamour, but they might pick up that it's there.)
