opt in/out

[endow]

OPT-IN/OUT Yeko is a nine-tailed fox, which comes with a bunch of fun abilities, but especially trickery, illusions and psychic power. When speaking to someone, she may try to manipulate your character, which includes convincing them of a fact/making her lies believable/coaxing information and secrets out. This means she can be as trusty as your best friend or your worst enemy. For illusions (only available as a fox), they can be indistinguishable from reality. This can reach levels of psychological warfare, and includes but is not limited to: simulations of all kinds, reality distortion (ie. creating a false world around someone when they're actually eating breakfast), and projected images that can be handled. The more she knows someone, the more she can use against them (or for them). Basically, she can do a lot of harm if she wanted, turn characters against each other, influence someone's state of mind and cause hallucinations, etc. Illusions are rooted in perception and she's not really altering time or space (not allowed in Saltburnt!). They can't do harm unless the target's body truly believes they are being harmed. She has an extraordinary amount of psychic power when she's in her fox form. This can get OP, but her powers are more limited in Salt. She can combine this power with her illusions, but mostly would be using them to sense others (magical or mundane), detect lies, telepathically communicate, astral travel, and a bunch more that if it comes up I'll communicate OOCly (I'm tired). Her telepathy can reach as far as psychically influencing another character's decision, their memories, etc. Think Jean Grey from X-Men. <b>Player:</b> <b>Character name & journal:</b> <b>Opt-in or opt-out?:</b> <b>Can Yeko influence your character?:</b> Will her cunning work all the time, or only sometimes? Does your character have any special blocks from being more inclined to spill the tea? I think of her ability to trick toeing the line of natural skill & magic, since it's so high. You can play around with this as much as you want, and context can be discussed OOCly when this comes up :) <b>Can Yeko use her powers of illusion on your character?:</b> Do they have barriers against this? Those with magical background/priests/telepaths may catch illusions sooner than others. Be as detailed or vague as you want! <b>Can she use her psychic abilities on your character?:</b> Mind reading, lie detection, sensing where your character is/what your character is. <b>What memories or common thoughts might she pick up?:</b> delete if you prefer none at all, or go crazy, this is a safe space.

Character name & journal: sam carpenter (maoa) & jackie taylor (katharma)
Opt-in or opt-out?: opt-in!
Can Yeko influence your character?: both are human so there shouldn't be an issue with either! though they'll be less than happy about it, especially depending on what's done.
Can Yeko use her powers of illusion on your character?: yes!
Can she use her psychic abilities on your character?: this is fine with me though again, they probably won't be happy.
What memories or common thoughts might she pick up?: (cw: violence, murder, suicide ideation) anything seen in their respective canons is game, jackie's working especially hard to keep her mind closed off regarding what she knows about the other yellowjackets and their time in the wilderness and the fact that a lot of the time she thinks it might be better for them that she died, actually. the fact that sam tries to stay busy whenever she can to avoid thinking too hard about certain things is also pretty evident.
