First things first! Since Wanda is being pulled from near the end of Age of Ultron, she may reference events that occurred during the film. This could essentially mean minor to major spoilers depending on whether or not you've seen the film. So, if you'd like to interact with Wanda but don't want any spoilers, please let me know below. I want to have fun playing Wanda, but not at the expense of other players' ability to enjoy the film.
Secondly, Wanda has several mental-based superpowers, and her ability to use them (or at least one of them) is fairly crucial to her in-character interactions. Specifically, her ability to read minds is something she makes frequent use of, if only to determine if she should trust your character. Thus, in order to play Wanda as smoothly as possible, I want to set up this permissions post to know exactly how Wanda can and will interact with everyone in the fleet. If you answer no, that is fine. Wanda is still able to interact with your character, but her behavior will respond according to whether or not she can "read" him or her.
If you say no to either category below, then Wanda's augment will essentially impede her ability to effectively read your character (like getting a static image on a TV set), and it will completely prohibit her from being able to use her manipulation abilities. Please know that Wanda would not flippantly use her manipulation power; it's more of something she'd use to subdue a threat, or at least someone she perceives as a threat.
Please also know that even if you answer yes to the questions below, I will still make sure to ask your permission and discuss details with you before actually having Wanda use her powers. One final note is that Wanda will only be able to use her powers when interacting with someone face to face; that is, she's not going to be able to read or manipulate your character via the fleet communicators.
Please feel free to comment below using the following form:
Character(s): (Who you play that is likely to interact with Wanda.)
Film Spoilers? (Have you seen the film? Or are you comfortable with events from the film being spoiled for you? Please let me know!)
Mind-reading: (Are you okay with Wanda reading the mind of your character(s)? Just answer yes or no. What information she specifically reads can be entirely up to you. Basically, this power serves more as a litmus test for Wanda, measuring how much she is willing to trust your character.)
Hallucination: (Are you okay with Wanda using her powers to cause your character(s) to hallucinate and have a vision based on their fears or regrets? Again, just answer yes or no. Specifics about what your character will see can be determined later, if Wanda actually feels the need to use this power.)

on 2015-05-24 04:13 pm (UTC)Character(s): Misha Hunt
Spoilers? I've seen the movie, not a problem for any of mine.
Mind-reading: Siiigh yes. She won't be fond of it but she also has superpowers and wouldn't be able to deny that she'd do the exact same thing if she could. Not much of a truster, this one.
Notable reads are that she's been ripped apart from her family about seven years ago, forced to make a family of choice and ended up with superpowers as a sort of consolation prize. Mind-control terrifies her and she doesn't talk about her original home life for fear of betraying the people back home somehow.
Hallucination: Yes, go ahead.
Character(s): Itzal Noah
Mind-reading: That depends. Noah is definitely human in form and mind, but he is actually a real-life demigod. Since she can read beings like Vision and all, Noah should still be readable. He isn't very mentally-protective of his past so much as he's just aggressive about things in general, so no mental barriers. However, he's kind of old at 206 and the vast majority of that is life in social isolation with an entire planet to explore and learn from while everyone else was either dead or in cryosleep. Recent years has him learning kind of how to form connections in the first place but trust is very far off. Noah's a wild-card who lashes out easily because his trust was shattered horrendously and he's never learned anything but violence. How Wanda interprets that is up to her!
Hallucination: Yep. Just be aware that if he realizes he's being fucked with, he will react swift and most likely violent.

on 2015-05-24 04:25 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers?: I've seen the film so no worries here!
Mind-reading: Yes for both of them!
Hallucination: If it makes sense for plot, then I'm fine with it. I will warn that Allen's shown to be able to break out of visions like that if it makes him mad enough to want to leave it, and in a way that might give Wanda a headache sdfjklsdf.

on 2015-05-24 05:33 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? I'M GOOD I SAW THE MOVIE :D
Mind-reading: Yes!
Hallucination: Still yes!
no subject
on 2015-05-24 05:53 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers?: I have seen the film, so I'm okay with it!
Mind-reading: Absolutely!
Hallucination: Go for it!
no subject
on 2015-05-24 06:25 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? I haven't seen it, but I already had it spoiled for me and I don't actually care all that much HAHA.
Mind-reading: Yes. Sheena's a good egg with some trauma in her past; she fucked up and caused like 3/4 of her village to die by accident, united two parallel worlds, and then lived through another war (Exsilium). She's seen some shit.
Hallucination: Yes.
Character(s): Belthazar (
Mind-reading: Yes. He's a bit of a xenophobic asshole but he's really a scared little kid on the inside. Don't need mind reading to see that.
Hallucination: Yes.

on 2015-05-24 11:55 pm (UTC)Character: Cassandra Pentaghast
Mind-Reading: Yes, that's fine. Generally speaking, if it's in the brackets introspection-wise, I would be okay with that without needing to talk about it first. Anything deeper than that, I would ask that you just give me the heads up/ask first just so I know what to expect.
Hallucination: Tentatively, I will say that it's possible, but Cassandra would not hallucinate to the extent in which she'd be unaware it was a hallucination, if that makes any sense. Her Seeker training/abilities makes mind control/possession impossible, so she might be able to see the hallucination, but know it's not real.
Character: Elena Gilbert
Mind-Reading: I'm completely fine with this. Again, like with Cassandra, if it's in brackets, you're free to tap into that as much as you like. Anything further than that, just give me a heads up and it should be fine.
Hallucination: Again, that's fine with me. Just a heads up/conversation in advance would be good.
no subject
on 2015-05-25 12:28 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? Saw it opening weekend so you won't be spoiling anything for me!
Mind-reading: Yes for both, but it would be a little more complicated for Adam.
Hallucination: Yes for Felix, but I'm not sure this would work on Adam.
So basically, Felix is open for all of this if the need for her to do it arises. However, I think with the mind-reading and hallucinations, that Adam would be able to tell what is happening and might try to block her out. I'm thinking the Hallucinations wouldn't work outright but the mind-reading he might not be able to block out exactly and she'll be able to gleam at least something. We'll figure out what when we play!
no subject
on 2015-05-25 12:52 am (UTC)Film Spoilers?: l m a o I assume you know the answer to this
Mind-reading: sure
Hallucination: maybe??? it'll something I'll be able to decide better if the occasion arises
no subject
on 2015-05-25 01:44 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? Haven't seen the film yet, but I've heard some stuff already and I don't really care about spoilers.
Mind-reading: Yes for both!
Hallucination: Also yes for both.
no subject
on 2015-05-25 11:54 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? Seen it!
Mind-reading: Yes!
Hallucination: Sure thing!
no subject
on 2015-05-26 03:07 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? Seen it. You're good to go!
Mind-reading: Sure! There's a chance he might be able to resist her at some point given his magic/associated force of will, but he's not immune at all.
Hallucination: Yes! Same as above.
no subject
on 2015-05-26 05:30 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? I'VE FINALLY SEEN IT so no worries about spoilers
Mind-reading: Go right ahead. She'll probably notice Kairi is absurdly nice since she's a
DisneyPrincess of Heart, which means no Darkness in her heart. SHE'S NOT PERFECT but it does mean she's incorruptible.Hallucination: Sure, with discussion of course.
no subject
on 2015-05-27 02:06 am (UTC)Film Spoilers?: Haven't seen it but I don't really care about spoilers.
Mind-reading: She can try! However, Oren is currently joined with Enkythos, as you saw on my permissions post. This means she won't be able to read any of Oren's thoughts or intentions-- she'll only see Enkythos when trying to read him.
Hallucination: She can also try here! But I'm thinking Enkythos will sort of be a block, so we'd have to talk out specifics a little more than the usual yes or no.
no subject
on 2015-05-27 04:28 am (UTC)Film Spoilers: Yep!
Mind-reading: Sure! Though with Riley her mind is exactly what she says so it's kind of redundant.
Hallucination: Talk to me first! I'll probably say no with Riley just because she can... very easily be breakable and l-laughs. She does have very real fears now due to the game she was in.
no subject
on 2015-05-27 10:22 am (UTC)Spoilers: Fine with me, I've seen the movie.
Mind reading: She might actually fine Cole harder or easier to read. He's not actually a person, with nerves and such, exactly. He's just... energy that looks and haves like it thinks a person should?
Fears: As above, I don't know by the definition of her power if she could do it, but I don't have a problem with her doing it. He's more emotion than people a lot of the time.
no subject
on 2015-06-21 04:20 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? Yes, I've seen it.
Mind-reading: Yes, go for it! I'll try to describe as much as I can in tags but feel free to poke me if it's not.
Hallucination: Yes, go for it.
no subject
on 2015-07-31 10:05 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers?: By all means.
Mind-reading: Nat's mind is a pretty organized thing, and very controlled. I'd say any very strong, focused thoughts she has Wanda would be able to read. For convenience in threading, if there's something in the exposition of a thread that Wanda would be able to sense, I'll put it in bold. :] Otherwise assume Nat's got good enough focus that it's just words or feelings here and there, and not much sense? She also...probably still thinks a decent amount in Russian...
Hallucination: HOO BOY. I'm gonna say yes on this one, but only after we've discussed exactly what she's going to do and what the result is. I would like to explore this esp. given where Wanda is taken from, but I would like to make sure it's got controlled results.

on 2015-07-31 10:49 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? Haven't seen it, don't care about spoilers tho. o/
Mind-reading: Yes, go for it!
Hallucination: Yes!
I would not be into Persona if I didn't like playing around with fears and etc lbrno subject
on 2015-09-08 01:11 am (UTC)Film Spoilers?: Nah, I've seen it! Lay it on me
Mind-reading: Fine by me! He's a good kid that likes helping people, more or less. His program nature could probably be picked up in the structure of his thoughts for sure, but he's also incredibly fully-ranged in the emotional department for an AI, enough so to almost pass off as human anyway. SUSPICIOUSLY SO....
Hallucination: Sure thing!
no subject
on 2015-10-24 06:30 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? Have not yet seen but I am not fussy at all about spoilers, so go wild!
Mind-reading: Yes for both.
Hallucination: Yes for both!
no subject
on 2015-10-29 10:27 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? I have not seen it, but I think I've already come across some of the biggest spoilers and have no general desire to watch it anytime soon, so spoil away!
Mind-reading: Yes, I am fine with that! I can try to reference his thoughts in the brackets more often if that is helpful.
Hallucination: Yes, I'm perfectly fine with hallucinations!
Also, I have a permission to ask in return! Are you open to the idea of Wanda hearing about another version of herself?
no subject
on 2015-12-04 05:26 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? Haven't seen it, but don't care about spoilers.
Mind-reading: Yes- And specifically, in her canon, Nightingale is exceptionally bad at avoiding having her mind read. Her telepath friend compared it to Nightingale basically flinging her thoughts in every direction. I don't know how relevant that is.
Hallucination: Yes, but she's had this happen before, and it will basically be an instant CR break.
no subject
on 2016-03-07 12:59 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? I've seen it, go big.
Mind-reading: Technically I should link this and let you see it first, but if Wanda is not an opt-in, then YES!
Hallucination: This would need OOC discussion about nature/severity first, but it's not a flat no. Just something I'd want to talk out first.
no subject
on 2016-03-10 03:59 pm (UTC)Film Spoilers? Spoil away!
Mind-reading: Yes!
Hallucination: Yes!
* provisos on Katie on those last two-- reading her mind will probably feel a little weird as she has two souls. Still doable! Just kind of like tuning in through rainbow static. And hallucinations can be hilaribad in that she can accidentally make them real for herself, ahaha. WHOOPS. If this ever happens for some reason I may hit you up to plot terrible things.

on 2016-04-17 08:54 am (UTC)Film Spoilers? All good here.
Mind-reading: Yes, though he's good at mental deflecting through practice/strong willpower.
Hallucination: Yes.
