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

Mmkay, replying here for both Sanzo and Tektite, tektite.

For Tektite first:

(1) Tektite is not psychic in the sense she can read minds, but she is a telepath and thus, can project her voice into the minds of others. She would be excited at the idea of a character that could reply to her, yet I doubt he would like her intrusion, rofl. If you want to do something playing around with that, I'd be game. I do not currently have a plot in mind but I can try to think of something. (Last bit applies to either character really.)

(3) I'd say Tektite would be highly susceptible. She does have a secondary consciousness along for the ride, named Moldavite. He would be free to try to talk to her but Tektite would probably get defensive. I'm curious if his abilities allow him to affect the minds of others? Could be interesting if he was inclined to get Moldavite to front. Just throwing ideas out there.

Sanzo:

(1) Even more of a gray area and more a question for you. Sanzo is an Empath. He can't read minds but he can oftentimes gauge the general feelings of someone else, or very least an idea of their intentions. He can also often gauge if someone is magically powerful or not because of this. He's untrained, however, so it's faulty, I was curious if you're okay with Sanzo being able to tell anything from him if they interact? It would all depend on what you put in your replies, to be fair.

(3) I'm going to say that Sanzo being rather mentally open as an Empath with no mental shields/wards, would be highly susceptible to the physic abilities. Potential aggression could happen as a result of him finding out his thoughts are being read, however. Okay, to be honest, he's always aggressive.

T1: So for the first couple weeks, Penny will be wearing a thing from canon that blocks all voices. But once that's off, I'd love for he and Tektite to potentially chat telepathically. As long as she's not annoying him or trying to make him do things, he'll be alright. c:

T3: He can't mind control others in any way (except like insects), if that's what you mean? And mostly he stays out of peoples' minds, especially without permission.

S1: Absolutely! Sanzo is welcome to read Penny's general mood at any time unless otherwise specified (assume blanket permission) and can also sense that he's magical. Penny is highly skilled and knowledgeable, but he's not a Master Magician; that is, he's good but not amazingly powerful.

S3: Oh good! They'll get on splendidly! Or annoy the crap out of each other.

T1: Sounds like fun~ She has no ability to make him do anything, the telepath is just speech.... loud speech, it's kinda faulty. :x As for the second one, the second consciousness is more powerful than that so a no I suppose, especially if he wants to leave people's mind's alone.

S1: Sweet~

S3: OKay I'm laughing because I just now noticed your username and that is such a fucking Sanzo thought process. "Just no. No. NO." Sanzo lives through being constantly annoyed by someone, I think it'll work. Beware the fan. He sure is fast with that thing.

T1: It's something that could potentially come up if his powers get messed with or if he turns evil at some point or something. We'll def keep it in mind!

S3: I was torn between "justno", "hellno", and "couldyounot." xD Penny's about the same. Looking forward to it!
