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.

CHARACTER NAME: Gene Hicks
CANON: OC

May Wanda read your character’s thoughts/surface emotions? Some, but within reason. I'll try to give you a heads up in the narrative which will be accessible to her and which might not be. Surface thoughts are fine, but he has a healthy mental resilience due to the ghost issue, he's accustomed to sort of closing his mind off otherwise he'd never sleep lmao. She'd be able to break it down if she probed at him but he wouldn't trust her if she did that to him without consent.
IF YES, what she might find: Not much in terms of secrets or anything, unless I guess that's how you want Wanda to find out about the ghosts? Gene's mind is a very soft, well-ordered place that is sort of like... the mental equivalent of an old, abandoned Church being reclaimed by nature in a nice sunlit field. So there's that air of melancholy and solemnity but there's beauty and peace to it as well.
Can Wanda mentally manipulate your character? Can Wanda mentally manipulate your character? Let's say this one is plot and cr-development dependent and we can revisit it down the line.
Willing to develop CR plotting around shared thoughts in future? Sure, but let's see how it goes and let things come organically.
Further notes if applicable: Nope, all good.
