forgodssakeerikCharles 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!

no subject
Date: 2011-12-20 07:08 pm (UTC)CHARACTER NAME:
-EMPATHY: Sure.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: To a certain extent. Surface thoughts, what he's thinking at the time? Always. Deeper, darker thoughts have a guardian.
-LANGUAGE: Sure. He speaks Japanese. I headcanon he's decent with English as well.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Sure, though once again, if he pokes into something Hitsugaya has particularly strong feelings about (such as his tendency to stab loved ones), Charles will be met by an angry guardian.
-NOTES: Hitsugaya is a shinigami captain, therefore he is dead, a spirit/ghost/soul/whathaveyou and noticeably older than his 4'4 appearance suggests. He also wields a sword called a zanpakutou which is inhabited by a giant ice dragon who is also an extension of Hitsugaya's soul. This is the aforementioned guardian. He won't interfere unless he decides whatever Charles is doing is detrimental to Hitsugaya's well being, in which case he'll kick Charles out and inform Hitsugaya of what's going on.
CHARACTER NAME:
-EMPATHY: Go right ahead. Killua has virtually no mental protection.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Same here. Have at him. His thoughts come fast and are extremely analytical.
-LANGUAGE: Yes. He speaks crazy HxH language without a name, but written it looks something like this (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwene1xjFR1qb7u26o1_500.jpg).
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: He can have access to them all. Most of them will not be pretty.
-NOTES: Killua was trained as an assassin from birth, which included regular torture, being electrified, consuming poison, and mass murder. More often than not, his expressions won't reflect his emotions unless he's with Gon Freecss. He's human, but he's lightning fast and has the ability to turn his aura into electricity. That might ping Charles?
CHARACTER NAME:
-EMPATHY: Go ahead. Charles won't like what he finds.
-TELEPATHY PROPER: Same here.
-LANGUAGE: Go ahead. Assuming Japanese, perhaps one or more Chinese languages.
-HISTORY/MEMORIES: Have at them. They mostly involve him leaving people behind. The only problem is that a very important detail hasn't been explained as of yet in canon. Originally, he is stated to have been a different person, but something changed (it's implied he lost something important to him), and he basically gave up on everything afterward. As I don't know what that something was, the information can't be accessed. I'm just going to have to assume it was traumatizing enough that Kamui's locked it away in order to act the way he does now.
-NOTES: He's an amanto (humanoid alien) called a Yato. Extremely powerful physically, averse to sunlight, and quite insane. His only desire is to fight powerful opponents in order to grow stronger himself. He's a homicidal maniac who will antagonize those he feels are powerful until he gets what he wants, and he's not the least bit remorseful.
