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!

Feel free to make one big comment for all your characters!
sob I have 4 characters now :C
CHARACTER NAME: Yuca Collabel (
-EMPATHY: Yes, but BE WARNED. *see notes
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Yes
-LANGUAGE: Yep. Yuca knows most languages in use today (though some versions are very dated) and many dead ones.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: HO BOY. Yes, but *see notes
-NOTES: OKAY, SO. Yuca is an immortal via reincarnation who has been around since the dawn of the earth, practically. His constant life has driven him insane, blah blah. Basically, he's seen and experienced so much that he wants nothing more than to die. Any empathy would just be a MASSIVE EXPANSE of misery, so deep you could drown in it. If Charles does meet Yuca (which I hope he does!) I'm not sure how well he'd fare mentally. Other people who've delved into his mind in-game have been pretty horrified/shocked/miserable for awhile afterward. idk.
As for history, with living forever comes a massive amount of memories, and Yuca himself cannot sort through them all (sort of something that leads to his crazy). If Charles tries to look for anything specific, he might find himself in the 1300s or something equally nasty.
-QUESTIONS: Nope! But I'd love for Yuca and Charles to meet, eeee.
CHARACTER NAME: Nathaniel || John Mandrake (
-EMPATHY: Yes
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Yes. He will introduce himself as John Mandrake, but his hidden name is Nathaniel. Though it's taboo for a magician to ever reveal his true name, so if Charles finds it out via telepathy, Nat will be pissed and probably won't trust him.
-LANGUAGE: Nat, like Yuca, knows many different languages, but his are all from study. Feel free to address him in any language you wish!
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Yep! Nat's been through a lot, ask me about any specifics!
-NOTES: Nat's the secretary of the protection squad in Ads. He's also a magician- and by which I mean he summons spirits and makes them do his bidding.
-QUESTIONS: Nope!
CHARACTER NAME: Romulus "Rome" Hart (
-EMPATHY: Yep, but his emotions are very simplistic.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Yes. He has a one track mind though and is not a complex person. Charles is free to discover that he is a werewolf.
-LANGUAGE: He technically only knows German, but communicates in Ads-language.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Of course. All of his pre-Ads memories are during his service in the military. He's lived a long and bloody life.
-NOTES: Rome's a test tube werewolf and has been brainwashed from birth to be loyal to his handlers in the military. His mindset is very animalistic, and he's rather simple.
-QUESTIONS: Nope!
CHARACTER NAME: Regulus Black (
-EMPATHY: Yep!
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Yes. Charles is free to discover that Regulus is dead, as well as the exact circumstances of his death, but Reg will probably hate him if he brings it up.
-LANGUAGE: Just English!
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Yeah. Not a whole lot of trauma in Reg's life, he's pretty much the typical Slytherin, just a bit calmer.
-NOTES: Regulus is brand-spanking-new here as well! 8D
-QUESTIONS: None!
lmao I know that sadness
Nathaniel- sobbing. such a good series. all sounds good though! it's very likely Charles will screw this one up. :|a
Rome- he sounds cute ;~;
Regulus- Sounds good! :3 Gosh I miss playing in this fandom.
