POWERS PERMISSIONS & OPT OUT.

ASIDE FROM HER PSIONIC ENERGY POWERS, which include gifts like:

✖︎ Generating psionic energy shields
✖︎ Generating psionic energy blasts
✖︎ Telekinesis (powerful enough to destroy vibranium, e.g. Ultron’s body, and mending matter at the molecular level, e.g. healing Vision in battle)
✖︎ Hex magic/chaos magic/reality & probability disturbance
✖︎ Flight via psionic energy propulsion from her hands

Wanda’s experience with the Mind Stone also awakened latent psychic abilities she may have been born with but might otherwise have never fully realized. These can primarily be summarized as telepathy and mental manipulation — strong enough to incapacitate the minds of gods, like Thor. Despite the player’s preference to make things difficult for her (and to not intrude on other players), these are the two main gifts that have the propensity to tread awkwardly on the lines of consent. Hence, a permissions form!

T E L E P A T H Y Wanda has the power to read thoughts and sense emotions, both superficial and deeply guarded — so deeply, at times, the memories may exist in recesses of the mind that even the owner is not fully cognizant of. Along with this ability, and particularly with those who are open to it, she is able to communicate with her thoughts, alone, and hold conversations thusly with a partner. M E N T A L    M A N I P U L A T I O N Against those she deems an enemy, or at least against whom she must defend herself, Wanda has the capacity (albeit a lesser inclination, of late) to manipulate the minds of others. She can cast a powerful hypnosis to incapacitate her opponent; along with this ability, besides compelling said opponent to behave as she designs, she can manipulate their greatest fears and trap them there. Wanda can also use these powers for good, to soothe rough emotions and anxiety, and to combat mental manipulation from another source.

CONTENT WARNING / OPT-OUT: Depending on her canon point (for the purposes of the game SPRINGWOOD, it's post-WandaVision), Wanda comes with varying degrees of trauma and resulting PTSD, and content related to that trauma includes self-death, death of loved ones, and genocide. If at any point you want to opt out of that material being referred to either directly or even opaquely in our threads, or if you want to opt out of playing with this character altogether, please feel free to use this post to do so. We've had a rough two years, and it's still going, and even aside from that, that is tough content.

You can opt out of playing with this character for any reason at all, and that heads up will be treated with full respect. All comments to this post are screened; will only unscreen permissions plotting.

Mystique

[scalesandsecrets]

CHARACTER NAME: Mystique
CANON: X-Men Movies (Original Trilogy)

May Wanda read your character’s thoughts/surface emotions? Yes when in disguise, no when in her natural form. Mystique's own mind is extremely resistant if not immune to telepathy, but when in disguise she puts out a psychic 'blanket' of surface thoughts flavoured as the person she's disguised as.
What she might find (disguised mind): Psychic blanket thoughts: Tomorrow's laundry list, what nice weather it is today, whether that zit on her tummy is worth seeing a doctor about...etc.
What type of block: Beneath the psychic blanket would be a layer of painful static to discourage further probing, and underneath that is absolute mental silence. If Wanda were to scan Mystique in her natural form that's all she'd pick up unless Mystique were deliberately projecting.
Can Wanda mentally manipulate your character? Maybe? We'd have to discuss. Mystique's very resistant to mental suggestion, so anything Wanda tried to plant might not last long.
Willing to develop CR plotting around shared thoughts in future? Probably not, as Mystique doesn't like psychics poking around up there.
Further notes if applicable: Beware the lies Wanda!
