PERMISSIONS: YOU & THE FORCE
Sep. 30th, 2015 01:03 pmThis is an opt-out permissions post. If you don't want Ahsoka to use any or one of her Force powers in our threads for ANY reason, or if your character has abilities that would block one or any of them, please comment here. Please also note that you don't need to have a character with powers to opt-out. The Force is not infallible and can fail for any number of IC reasons. So even if your character is an AVERAGE JOE BLOE ON THE STREET you can still opt out for whatever reason you like. You don't need to provide a reason either. It's all good.
That said, here are descriptors for the powers in question, and you can find the permissions form in the text box below.
Empathy.
Ahsoka can get general impressions about how a person is feeling through the Force. As with all things Force-related, the stronger the connection with the person, and the stronger the emotion, the more she'll be able to read. It DOES NOT mean she can read minds or thoughts. It also means Ahsoka tends to be a relatively good judge of character and intentions, and can usually tell truth from lies. However, like the Force, this power is not infallible and does sometimes fail for any number of reasons. (Not being focused, not expecting it, being clouded by emotion or the Dark Side, etc.) Additionally, this power does not work over digital communications.
Presence.
Ahsoka can often sense someone's presence if it's nearby before she sees them. Again, as above, the effectiveness of this power often has a direct relation to how well she knows the person, and also can fail for any number of reasons. If she doesn't know you, she likely won't sense you, but if you're sneaking up on her it will probably ping her danger sense instead.
She can also use this ability to sense where on the scale someone falls between the Dark Side and the Light, so if your character has any kind of magic that is strongly aligned with one or the other, this is the place to say.
As above, this power also does not work over digital communications.
Precognition.
This comes in two flavours. The first is more of a sense of being able to anticipate the movement of objects around her-- whether it's a fist or a bullet-- to be able to effectively defend against them.
The second comes in the form of the occasional dream or vision of the future, but to be honest, these don't happen very often. When they do, they're usually about someone close, or impending danger. THIS IS... UNLIKELY TO EVER COME UP IN A GAME, HONESTLY, so I'm not putting it in the questionnaire lol. If it does, it means we have close CR and we'll already be plotting for it together and working it out anyway. I'd never ever bring up in a thread casually.
Without further ado, here is the text box! Please fill this out and leave it in a comment below if you so desire!
If there's anything I've missed or that you have questions about, you can feel free to add it in.
All replies are screened, so please don't worry about being shy or judged! You're not stepping on any toes, I promise.
