Permissions for Tu Shanshu

[justno]

Penny is a psychic.

Per his app:

As a general discipline, Penny is a psychic and is able to read minds. Most magicians have wards up to protect their minds and Penny generally tries to avoid reading minds anyway. In Tu Shanshu, he'll only be able to read minds when he actively tries (at which point obviously player permission is needed), not to get stray surface thoughts from characters (unless requested).

It’s possible for another psychic to reach out to Penny and he will hear their voice in his head. He hates it and will self-medicate to prevent it, but it does work.

Please comment here if:
(1) your character is also a psychic and you want to play with that
(2) your character should be immune (or you would like them to be)
(3) your character is highly susceptible (or you would like them to be)
(4) you have a plot idea involving Penny's psychicness

Penny has read a few dead people before, so that won't be a red flag really (and I've been playing it that he doesn't auto know it's a vampire just by mind reading, though it's up to you on that).

I don't think he'd dig so deep as to find the angel. Usually he only picks up surface thoughts if the person is shady or to prove he's psychic. He only goes deeper if someone proves to be an enemy or is unconscious and in need of prying.

Makes sense! I wouldn't mind either way if he can notice Devin is a vampire off the bat. He's not trying to keep it a secret.

Hopefully there's no need for prying, lol. No idea how they'll end up interacting in terms of CR, although he and Penny might actually get along in being blunt jerks to people friendship through antagonism. We'll see how it goes on all accounts.
