skill #1
Special: Psychic skills #1 - telepathy, mindreading.
OKAY. So! Stuff relating to this:
- With this skill, we can all assume that the package - the thing in KK's brain which gives her her wonderpowers - has been switched from OFF to ON. People with pings for energy, spiritual pings, or psychic pings in general will pick up a huge sense of energy coming from her. The signature will be pretty vast, probably. Generally, everyone who has the ability to pick up on her she'll also be able to pick up on. REVERSE UR PINGS, etc.
- Currently Knife has no psychic shielding whatsoever! Because I'm an unrepentant dick who put it on a different skill. That means currently she is flicking through surface thoughts as a matter of course. FreakAngels do this in canon too, but there is a certain amount of distance in it. Until about afternoon 43 she will still be struggling to truly tell what's inside and what's out. After that, she'll have wised up.
- I split her psychic skills into three sections! Section one is all the basic stuff, everything that comes under the heading of telepathy/mindreading. That's mental information-gathering, communication, suggestion, and the mindshank. The way I've arranged her psychic skills works as follows: right now, her psychic powers are like a blunt instrument. All of the stuff that doesn't need finesse, she can now do. Tricks that take more control and ability - mind control and mental purging - are in psychic skills #2, whereas taking over someone's senses and really advanced crap like that is in #3. So think of Knife's psychic evolution as the difference between someone trying to cut a sandwich with a club, then a blunt knife, then a sharp one. \:D/
- Since a few people in Aather have illusion powers: they won't work on her! She'll see right through them. For those such as Mukuro whose illusions are based on the constancy of thought process and all that stuff, she can break 'em. Magic-based illusions she will know for what they are, but won't effect them either.
- FreakAngel telepathy is always on unless they make a defined effort to switch it off (something Knife currently can't do, see no shielding) or they wear tinfoil on their heads. The range of it is this uncapped. That's right, it covers all of the living areas of Aather currently! THAT'S RIGHT, IF YOU'RE HAVING SEX RIGHT NOW, SHE'LL BE VAGUELY AWARE OF IT thank you Hisoka.
- Powercapping for this skill! The FreakAngels package basically works as follows: some things are always on as a matter of course, and some things require "push" to use - that's like using physical exertion or MP. When powercapped, everything she does will require push to use! Even the bits that are always on. Her range will be halved and muted. She will be able to physically push it out to full range, but that will be the bit that involves collapsing and throwing up and generally not being worth it. There will be a lot more on powercapping later, since I'm going to write up a general powercapping guideline for all of her various skills that aren't covered at some other point!
Right. The important bit! PSYCHIC POWERS: HELP ME HELP YOU. If you think there's something that would be particularly interesting for her to pick up on in a thread, just note it down in the action tag or whatever! Same for general mental states. Or LYING. If there are characters she cannot read because of their own skills, please drop a comment and let me know. If there are characters that you would OOCly prefer her not read ever, please also let me know! GENERALLY, LET'S COMMUNICATE this skill is infomodey and I would like to avoid that at all costs \:D/. Also if there's anyone it would suddenly be v. interesting for me to tag, let me know that too. COMMUNICATION IS GOOD. I will always ask, obviously, before poking through thoughts that aren't advertised in action tags.
