Charles is an extremely powerful telepath. What, ask you, are his abilities?
from the app:
Charles is a mutant, a human with what's later known in his timeline as the X Factor or X Gene, giving him extraordinary abilities. His mutation allows him telepathy, with the assumed secondary mutation of empathy.
Telepathy is the ability to speak to and control minds. Charles can use this to hear thoughts, respond to a mind or several minds, take control of a mind and use it to see or move the victim's body freely, freeze a series of bodies in a radius and do any number of mind-related things. The possibilities of his ability are seemingly endless. He can tap into a person's mind and "borrow" their language, for example, but it's assumed that he doesn't immediately learn the language - it's more like he's got a superfast internet connection, using it to ask the other person's mind how to say something in their language, and receiving an immediate and correct (as far as the mind in question knows) answer. If someone thinks something is spelled or said a certain way, he'll receive that answer, regardless of whether or not the word is actually correct.
These abilities do not work on animals, past perhaps the ability to read whatever they're thinking.
Empathy is the ability to sense, identify and feel the emotions of the people around oneself. When using his ability, Charles usually picks up whatever emotions are attached to the thoughts or memories, and this can often manifest in his reaction to something. When helping Erik see a memory he'd forgotten, he ends up shedding a tear automatically, moved to sorrow by the reaction of his friend and the weight of the memory. Assumedly, this could branch out to other moments and reactions; he's told Erik that he's "felt what you felt", having gone through his thoughts and memories before. He's generally a level-headed sort, even with this, and though it could be a major drawback if not handled carefully, Charles seems to be able to sort out what the emotion and thought is and what his own emotion and opinion is on the same subject.

SO then:
THINGS I WILL ASK FOR PERMISSION FOR ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS:
also known as "shit you don't need to fill a post out for!"
-TRICKS OF THE MIND: if ever he needs/wants to make your character see something else/believe something else, I'll make sure to ask first. Depending on the situation it's very likely it'll be different for every character involved!
-CONTROL: This is such a godmodey thing that I'll have to ask beforehand in order to even feel okay doing it. XD
-FREEZE: See CONTROL.
if I manage to think of other weird things, I'll be sure to clear them with you, first.
these are all things he won't be able to do on a day-to-day basis due to godmodeyness..
THINGS I'D LIKE TO HAVE MASS-PERMITTED:
also known as "dude can hear you thinking about his fine ass".
-EMPATHY: Can he read/feel your character's emotions, regardless of what the emotion they're showing on their face is?
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Can he hear their thoughts? This can range from "no, please" to "only what they project" to "yes, everything, everything my darling!" That means "can he talk to your character in their mind", "can he hear things they're thinking", etc etc.
BONUS ROUND:
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: He'll likely flutter through memories of people he meets if he gets curious/bored. Would you like him to not, for whatever reason? Or would you like to have certain memories he doesn't access/can't access? Or maybe you don't care/want him to see it all! Just let me know. :3
-LANGUAGES: he likes to dip into people's heads and use languages when he feels it's necessary. Is it okay with you, even if everyone can understand each other, if he slips into someone's language blah blah blah you know the drill.
AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE:
He's got his own set of boundaries! It's pretty much a given that he won't constantly be in anyone's head at any given time, so there isn't any need to worry!
ANOTHER EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE:
When I do mental speaking, it'll be [In the brackets and in italics. Bold means there's an emphasis on the word.] If you'd like him to hear something specifically, make sure you note it in your tag~!
A THIRD IMPORTANT NOTE:
normally I'd have a third note but I don't for this game, whaaaaaaaaaat.
Feel free to make one big comment for all your characters!

Had to submit and edit because of spotty internet. :/
CHARACTER NAME: Botan
-EMPATHY: Go ahead! Most of the time it's pretty obvious what her emotion is anyway.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Talking and hearing is all good. She might pick up on the mind reading.
-LANGUAGE: (optional) Sure, why not?
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: He can, and he'll learn that she's older than she looks. Like... maybe about half a century old? She's young for a reaper! I'm just going to say that the things he won't be able to access is most of the time from before she was officially a ferrygirl. Only because there's no specific canon, save for the fact that she had gotten top marks in everything.
-NOTES: Permissions post
-QUESTIONS:
CHARACTER NAME: Eliot Spencer
-EMPATHY: Sure! Though you don't need empathy to feel all the paranoia. xD
-TELEPATHY PROPER: The man's been trying to train against mind powers, though mostly control. However you're all clear on that. He doesn't project too much in comments, but if you let me know when Charles does his mind reading I'll write up some projections.
-LANGUAGE: Sure! Eliot knows a few languages aside from English. Hebrew, Italian, Arabic and Russian, and at the very least understands Iranian. He also, probably, knows more but it hasn't been established in canon.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Oh yeah, but there is a major warning. Eliot's done a lot of horrible things, as well as stuff that was part of his time as black ops and other stuff. There hasn't been a lot fleshed out, Damien Moreau is the name linked to the worst of the worst.
-NOTES: Permissions post It also links to his app. Also a wiki page for other various details here
-QUESTIONS:
CHARACTER NAME: Shizuo Heiwajima
-EMPATHY: Sure! Shizu-chan's pretty simple, so usually his expressions match his emotion.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Dude's all clear on this.
-LANGUAGE: (optional) As well as this.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Go for it!
-NOTES: Shizuo is capable of incredible strength and can resist a lot of pain. None of it is 'mutant' or any other kind of ability. I mean, it probably is a mutation of the adrenal gland based off of another character's musings, but that's what causes him to fall into a kind of rage. The strength and pain was built up over the years as products from what happened in those fits of rage.
-QUESTIONS:
CHARACTER NAME: Olivia 'Lily' Walker
-EMPATHY: All clear on this. It'll make her uncomfortable, but not me!
-TELEPATHY PROPER: ^
-LANGUAGE: Luckily, her default language is English.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: As long as he's not a blusher! All of that is free game as well.
-NOTES: Permissions post It also has links to other information stuffs.
-QUESTIONS:
that's okay!
Eliot - For the most part I play Charles not too terribly involved in someone's mind; he'll listen to floating thoughts and if he picks up on something interesting or the person he's talking to is interesting enough he'll dive in, but I'll ask beforehand. :3 Maybe one day he can teach Eliot how to block it all?
Shizuo - sounds pretty good!
Lily - 83!! though he's known to sputter and//or react hilariously when he's caught offguard re: memories and thoughts.
no subject
If Lily ever finds out what Charles can do, you can be guaranteed that she'll have some elaborate thoughts and memories at the surface. Stripper and whore experience o/
