For those who don't know, Charles is a pretty darn powerful telepath. This permission post is preemptively asking about reading minds. Any other of Charles' skills will be asked about prior to use (ie: messing with the senses, changing up perception, mind control). Feel free to use the form below or wing it.
Also feel free to ask any questions/comments/etc regarding his skills here.

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Of course!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; She was kinda sorta being manipulated by a telepath/telekinetic person in canon, so I'm pretty sure he'll have no problem with it.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; I'm going to assume that means ICly? If so, whatever you do, do NOT bring up her life before joining the army. She will flip the fuck out. I mean, I have no problem with it OOCly, but she's a very skittish person ICly. It also might be good if he doesn't mention eating octopus around her, although I'm... not sure why he would.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; All of her powers are because of nanomachines in her body (and thus technology based), but she can deplete a person's life by... hugging or straddling them. Yyyyyyep.
In addition to that, she can make really weak green fires and copy voices.
Also, eventually she'll get her Octopus suit back, which is far more powerful. The main thing is that she can shapeshift (I don't even KNOW how that works without it being a supernatural thing) and change the colors in her suit to blend in with pretty much any environment. She can also eject some kind of ink fog to mask her surroundings. Other than that, the rest of the features are basically weaponry; guns, homing bombs, and the tentacles on her suit themselves (think Dr. Octopus, their tentacles are scarily similar).
⇨ Additional notes ; Nothing I can think of!

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yes
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; No - unless Jesse is currently draining him of his power at that exact moment.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; In public, revealing anything about his past or his shady activities would likely send Jesse into some kind of freakout and he would make it his life's mission to take away that telepathy. In private, Jesse would be a lot calmer and more likely to talk things through... and he'd probably express remorse for whatever Charles knows about him and beg him not to tell anyone else. Jesse's a very reasonable bad guy in most cases.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; He was born an ordinary human, but he received a superpower in Siren's Port. He can transfer powers by touch, remove them completely from one person and hold onto them or bestow them upon someone else. He can't use them, though.
⇨ Additional notes ; Jesse is very much a lost soul in need of guidance, which is probably the thing that stands out the most about him. He doesn't realize how much he's been manipulated by others, but he's a good person at his core. He's really just searching for support and approval. He wants to be good at something and it's unfortunate that he's good at bad things.

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yep!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; There won't be any resistance per se, but canonically when Yoite's mind was read before, it was literally so overwhelmingly fucking unhinged that the person doing so was worried about his mind infecting hers if she held on too long? It's just, uh. Something to be aware of.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; Pretty much everything's fair game! He's got a demon deal here with Crowley that I wouldn't like to get out in the open any time soon, though, if possible.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Human, but he possesses a skill called 'kira' - it's this concentrated telekinesis of sorts. He basically shoots a piece of his lifeforce into a person and manipulates it in order to cut them apart or tear them to shreds, oops, uh.
⇨ Additional notes ; his app for more in-depth information on him!

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yep
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Nope, go right in.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; Nnnnone that I can think of!
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Totally human
⇨ Additional notes ; This one is boring, oops.
⇨ CHARACTER NAME ; Dick Grayson (
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yep!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Not particularly.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; I want to keep the Dick Grayson/Robin secret identity as on the downlow as possible, so, uh, no public announcements about this stuff. Otherwise, go for it.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Nope, human.
⇨ Additional notes ; man humans are boring
⇨ CHARACTER NAME ; Kevin Khatchadourian (
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Sure!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; None
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; They'll definitely okay to discuss but they're not things I'd like broadcasted - namely, his questionable crap in the past. He's blinded his sister in one eye and put her pet in the garbage disposal, he got a teacher wrongly fired just because he was bored, he was going to shoot up his school the day he showed up here. His mind's a bit fucked but he doesn't act it openly, not very.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Human
⇨ Additional notes ; it's my last human i swear
⇨ CHARACTER NAME ; Bartleby (
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yyyyyes? See below, actually.
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; The dude is an angel, is the thing, so I'm not sure how far out of his jurisdiction that would even be or HOW the hell easy that's going to be to read. If this ever crops up, we can totally suss something out, though.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; He kind of knows the indiscretions of everyone and everyone in this place, it is a convoluted place in there and that is a mess to sort through and even more of one if things get light shed on them. His own shit, though, go for it. His being cast out of heaven, however, is a mega sore spot. He and Loki are also charading as Barry and Larry and hopefully those pseudonyms will last as long as possible.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Very not human. Angel; specifically, a Grigori, which allows him to see souls and therefore their sins and etc within.
⇨ Additional notes ; app for more information!
whew okay that is it

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yes, BUT -
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Yes. He will have difficulty doing so and might not be able to pick up everything. He might pick up that Loki's mind is fairly chaotic and has had previous tampering.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; ICly? It's best not to mention his true heritage... or his feelings for Thor and Odin... or his performance anxiety... or his feelings of inadequacy... or .. anything. :x OOCly PLEASE MENTION THIS SHIT FOR EPIC FUN AND HORRIBLES
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; List is here
⇨ Additional notes ; He likes chess. CHESS GAMES PLEASE?

CATCH-ALL.
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Sho' 'nuff.
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; All three of them have zero experience with telepaths, so no.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ;
TOPHER: Anything's free game. Claire's pretty much aired his dirty laundry to the network at this point, so while he'll get withdrawn and sad about it, he won't flip out.
HAYMITCH: UH. BETTER IF YOU DON'T MENTION ANYTHING BECAUSE HE WILL FLIP OUT.
SARK: Same as Haymitch. Neither would even consider the possibility of telepaths and would just assume he was Capitol or an enemy and would react accordingly with... violence.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; NOPE.
⇨ Additional notes ; Topher's probably the one who'll interact with him most, so thankfully he's safest. :c

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yes!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Nope!
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; Anything's on the table for me for IC interaction! You have my permission to do with any of it what you will. I know Xavier won't like... shout to the skies about Alex's thoughts, so it's all fair game! It'll make for interesting CR. |Db
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Nothin' like that, nope.
⇨ Additional notes ; Alex isn't entirely stable
blame the game seriesso there could be some strong themes goin' on in there. You can take a look at his app to see what he's more savvy at thinking about, which probably includes any of the following: being institutionalized for four years, thoughts of a town that's really super messed up, and killing his family or witnessing things of that nature. Lots of serious shit, bro.Just uh... pretend he's a buffet for telepathic people.

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yes!
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Definitely. Feferi is a loud-thinking and open sort of person, so it should be easy, but her blood colour means she has a serious amount of psychic resistance! It's very necessary for survival on her planet. There are also biological differences that have caused trouble for psychic interactions between trolls and humans in canon, so he'd probably find difficulties there too. tl;dr it'll seem like she's perfectly open, but there'll be a big wall there that might take a lot of effort to get past, and even then things will be sort of muffled.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; None!
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Ahaha yes. Troll/Alternian! Her "superpowers" are mostly just things that would keep her alive longer.
⇨ Additional notes ; She was technically murdered right before she got dumped on the ship, but she's a-okay with that. There are also probably some creepy Eldritch monster influences lurking around the edges of her mind.

no subject
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Yes
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Not really a difficulty, but Arwen is an Elf and what's more, she embodies the Evenstar, and when someone looks at her through x-ray lenses they can pret. much see THE BLINDING LIGHT OF THE VALAR and all that, so I imagine that could be the same for a telepath and that might make him jump a bit? In any case, he is free to do so. I take most of her info from the movies (with some background stuff from the books), if that helps. If you haven't watched it I'm more than happy to provide info for you :)
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; Not much, she's pretty open, but there's a lot of sombreness in her memories.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Elf. Superhumans, to put it shortly. Super senses. Can only die by deathblows/grief/heartache. Are very close to nature and can grow trees and make them talk if they want.
⇨ Additional notes ; Elves have keener senses than Men, and most High Elves can actually do telepathy to each other (i.e. Galadriel & Elrond in the movie). But Arwen is technically an Half-Elf, so she might just feel a kick in her head when he's probing? The strength of that kick would depend on how much he's taking out of her, I guess. So be careful, Charles? DON'T FREAK OUT AN ELF
no subject
Since they just bumped into each other...
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Maybe, leaning towards yes. See below.
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Leoben is a Cylon, which means he's biologically identical to human on a cellular scale, but his mind is cybernetic. But what this means for Charles's purposes is anyone's guess. I figure he'd at least be able to tell there's a mind there, even if it feels...off?
Leoben would be quite interested in Charles's telepathy and probably wouldn't try to keep him out, for what that's worth. Cylons can pass info between each other sort of...wirelessly, and Leoben especially has the ability to sense details about other people and things about their past/future, and even enter their dreams, so.
But if Charles can get inside Leoben's head, it's...it's going to be weird in there, most likely, and a little hard to make sense of.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; None, OOCly. Leoben would prefer that Charles not tell other people about his personal business (re: Kara) or that little "genocide" thing in his past, ICly, but if you want to go after that you can. Just let me know so we can plot.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; See permissions post. Also, the usual Cylon super-strength and ability to project.
⇨ Additional notes ; Let's be frands and talk about psychic/telepathic abilities! It was just a little slaughter of 20 billion people! He's totally past that stage in his life! :D?
no subject
but yes, friends.......maybe
...the slaughter isn't cool though, bro ;)
no subject
Leoben feels pretty bad about the genocide thing! Definitely willing to agree it was a mistake! :D?
no subject
Might be okay with it, then. :)
ehm looper spoilers???
⇨ Can he read their mind? ; Within reason. Cid won't realize he's blocking it, but he will.
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; Cid is TK, and while he's not psychic per se he definitely has the defenses in. He doesn't even realize he's blocking it, as stated before, but there's definitely a powerful wall.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; You're gold with p. much everything.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Cid is human, but what people in his world called TK--and a very, very powerful one even at the age of 5. Most can just levitate little stuff like quarters, but Cid has accidentally killed two people by exploding their hearts/bodies. So... he's kinda a freak of nature, even within the TK bracket.
⇨ Additional notes ; If he can pick up on things like identities (if that makes sense) feel free to pick up on the word Rainmaker, but I'm trying to keep Cid's powers pretty hush hush for the time being. I'd appreciate it if Charles doesn't spread it around!

⇨ Can he read their mind? ; yes
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; I don't think so? Canonly the Iron Man armour has defenses against psychic intrusion, but I am assuming he has yet to develop anything portable. There shouldn't be any trouble unless you count wading through his depression.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? ; ooc-ly I am okay with anything. ic-ly probably anything to do with his plethora of issues.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? ; Human with a sentient brain tumour. I think the brain tumour's mind can be read as well, but it's for all intents and purposes a little boy who lives in his head. Highly intelligent, but still a child. Tony and the tumour (named Anthony) can talk to each other, but they can't read each other's mind, they're separate entities.
⇨ Additional notes ; He's depressed, alcoholic and dying and his Professor X was killed by Magneto so I figure if you want him to find out there's the option.

⇨ Can he read their mind? Sure
⇨ Will he experience any difficulty/resistance doing so? ; There's no powers in this Bruce's universe, so he doesn't have any reason to build a defense.
⇨ Topics that are not okay to discuss? Nothing comes to mind. There's no reason why Charles can't find out his secrets, it's what he does with that knowledge that matters.
⇨ Superpowers/non-human/etc? Nothing.
⇨ Additional notes He's a very memory driven person. Certain phrases or things will, as he has a near-photographic memory, cause him to briefly flash on his past with incredible clarity, particularly where those occasions are traumatic. He'll remember sounds, phrases, words, sensations--everything from the cool brush of bat wings against his cheeks to Ra's al Ghul's precise words, even years later. Where I use his past in his action brackets, Bruce will be reflecting as they go along. If he talks about his parents, he'll remember parts of it in slow motion. I'll try and be as descriptive as possible where necessary.
