PERMISSIONS
IC Permissions:
Hugging: Yes.
Kissing: Yes.
Flirting: Yes.
Fighting: Yes.
Injuring: Yes, if any concerns just ask.
Killing: Only if planned out first.
OOC Permissions:
Backtagging/Slow threading: Yes.
Threadjumping: As long as all players are on board.
Fourth-walling: Not against it, but usually only if it suits the situation.
Sensitive subjects: None specifically.
Beyond:
At night, if you catch your reflection in a surface that isn't quite as transparent (on a sculpture, the side of a building, anything made of glass), there will be a momentary glimpse of your past or future self. A blink, and then, it will be gone.
The beyond is a well-known facet of Caducus Primarian, but it is little discussed. It just is. The natives have embraced the fact that some are born with the ability to see more than what is universally typical, and some are born with the ability to instill that ability into the glass that they shape and mold into something new. There are those that can do both, and those that can do neither. And every varying degree between.
The people maintain a belief that it is a gift not to be questioned or explored, and thus, research into the origin of these abilities never occurred.
They keep the balance of the universes by sharing their gifts, but never for personal gain. They give back, but do not take.
When she chooses to, or if her emotions are compromised, Farin can access the beyond. She cannot choose what she sees, how much she sees, or whether it is the past or present or future. Almost always her abilities show her glimpses of the past. Her skin turns blue and glassy, and during particularly strong instances, her skin cracks. If touching the other person, she can share what she's seen or she can transfer the vision to something made of glass.

P.S. I still think the watermelon blanket is so cute.

Can Farin see glimpses of your past: y
If so, what would she see: This (massive spoilers for AoU), feel free to extrapolate horrible things out of this, twin stuff in Sokovia, and maybe young Wanda and Pietro trapped under a bed. Anything from AoU is fair game.
Can Farin see glimpses of your future: y
If so, give me something vague: Here! Red leather seems to be a feature of her outfits. A blogger who saw an unreleased trailer at a convention said there was a brief clip of Wanda clutching her temples and screaming but we don't know why.
What is your character's favorite scent: Spices (think holiday candles). Wanda would be a fan of this.
Also feel free to assume Farin saw Wanda around helping the refugees if you want. Wanda's power permissions post is here.
no subject
I like her scent choice and I think it would be great if Farin had seen Wanda helping the other natives. That would be a really cool tie-in.
I'm going to comment to your permissions post.

Can Farin see glimpses of your future: she be dead
If so, give me something vague: ^
What is your character's favorite scent: Paragade. It's a sports drink. Probably sweet and foul? I, uh, don't have much of a sense of smell.
Also, feel free for Farin to have seen her evacuating people!
no subject
hahaa. these are awesome. that's great and thank you for filling this out.
I do think it would be cool if Farin had seen her helping get people to safety.
no subject
cloney probably wouldn't recognize Farin tho, most of the refugees are a blur to her except a handful she actually talked to on the ship
no subject
that's still awesome. it gives us something a little extra.
no subject
Can Farin see glimpses of your past: Y
If so, what would she see: Battle scenes on land and in space. Mud and blood. Holding the hand of a woman with no face. Many, many images of Miles
NaismithVorkosigan in a gray uniform, gesturing grandly or pacing with furrowed brow. Warm light; a silky nightdress; a fuzzy hamster in Bel's hands, eating a protein cube. A fine-boned woman with a cap of black hair; altogether too many hands flashing as their hammers strike a double-sided dulcimer. A Eurasian man built like a brick wall, delivering a sardonic lecture on tactics. A much younger glimpse of a slim man whom she might recognize as Miles's brother Greg.Can Farin see glimpses of your future: Y
If so, give me something vague: Two identical small men, features blurred. Angry shouting. Pages of scrolling data. Many slender hands.
What is your character's favorite scent: Depending on mood: hot spicy tea; lilac; ozone.

Can Farin see glimpses of your past: Sure but she'll regret it.
If so, what would she see: Thor. Billy, and the rest of the Young Avengers, on a spaceship. Verity, all dressed up for a date. A much younger Loki, sat against a pillar, mouth covered in blood. A much older Loki, sword through his chest, laughing maniacally. Ragnarok. A whole bunch of worlds. A dungeon, deep in the bowels of Asgard. Billy, with a spike through his chest, Loki dying the same way. You can always PP me for context/more things (he's got a thousand years of being evil under his belt).
Can Farin see glimpses of your future: n because it's kind of in flux.
If so, give me something vague:
What is your character's favorite scent: really old books.
no subject
I'll definitely PP you when it comes time to do anything like this, so that you can give me something you'd want her to see. And where's that crying/upset emote because Billy and Loki dying makes my Eggsy-muse upset. haaa.
LONG PERMISSIONS ARE LONG
Can Farin see glimpses of your past: Yes
If so, what would she see: STRANGE STIPULATIONS GO:
I'm okay with almost anything on his app. Also I don't have a permissions page set up for Savrou yet, but here are the permissions I usually warn people with:
CRIMES COMMITTED
▪ armed robbery
▪ drug smuggling
▪ murder
▪ human trafficking (by force of employer)
VICTIM OF/UNWILLING WITNESS TO
▪ child abuse
▪ spousal abuse
▪ alcoholic parent
▪ death/family loss
▪ rape
▪ war crimes
▪ child death
▪ suicidal thoughts
So running into memories might bring up any of that.
The one thing I don't want brought up is the human trafficking thing, and that's because in the context in which it was used, it was a state of something Niko had to do. In 2008 a full third of the world's human trafficking came from Serbia and the other post-war Yugoslav countries because they practically sold themselves to get out. If anyone worked in organized crime, it's something they were involved in, and the game treated it as an unfortunate mention of the political state. Also to emphasize how completely insane the employer he ran away from was. So I don't want to deal with it outside of that because the context is super important.
Can Farin see glimpses of your future: Yes (with the admission I rarely commit to futures and he's from the end of his canon)
If so, give me something vague: Purple. Hot dogs. Guns. Vehicles. The always constant possibility of getting himself killed.
What is your character's favorite scent: Burning wood/carnage smells. For all that he's lived through violence and has PTSD trigger reactions to a lot of things, he associates destruction with friendship and camaraderie.
:c
no subject
Basically anything else there I'm down with her seeing and even welcome it. I just figured content warnings would end up pretty important.
no subject
They are really important and I'm glad you put them in here. It helps me a lot.
no subject
Can Farin see glimpses of your past: Y
If so, what would she see: Again, anything in her app.
At one time she was actually a very caring, friendly doctor who treated a variety of Votans and believed "a touch can heal". She was married to a woman named Lev and they were very close, and she would recite Votan poetry to her.
But during the war Meh Yewll got a lot colder and withdrawn, she didn't like people to touch her. She partitioned off the mad scientist war stuff she had to do where she was having to experiment on humans, but it made her close herself up completely. And because of that her wife committed suicide. She found her body bled out, so content warnings there. (Actual image of what she saw there.)
Can Farin see glimpses of your future: Y
If so, give me something vague: Meh isn't from the end of her canon and unfortunately has more mind control ahead of her. So I'm fine with Farin seeing her having to put Votans in cages or having the nerve stem (the thing that makes her obey the bad guys) put into her. Anything related to that.
Picture of said bad guy.
What is your character's favorite scent: Flowers. She uses them in her medicine.
no subject
Oh, that's terrible what happened to her wife. :c
The flowers are really nice. Does she collect plants from each planet to make medicine with?

-A view from the cliffs of Rannoch at sunset, the ocean crashing on the rocks below
-This noise (anything from that video, really)
