As of the beginning of April 2015, Emil has echoed back the Master's telepathy and hypnotism.


Telepathy: Like all Time Lords, the Master is - or was, perhaps - telepathic. While this manifests primarily as touch-telepathy, the Master is also implied to be able to pick things out people's minds without requiring physical contact.

Currently, Emil has a reasonable amount of control on his telepathy, and will do his best to not going poking about in people's minds. However since it is still relatively new, this control may slip a little, especially when he's distracted or tired.

Hypnotism: Pretty much exactly like it sounds. As practiced by the Master, this is nothing more or less than a sort of mental domination, which leaves the target subject to his will. However, there are some limitations to it - it needs direct eye contact to be initiated (and cannot be done over something like a video feed over the network) and anyone with a stronger will can resist or entirely shake off the effects of the hypnotism.

It also needs to be consciously engaged, so Emil will thankfully not be accidentally hypnotizing people. I will also always ask before Emil uses his hypnotism on anyone, on the rare occasion that he actually feels inclined to do so.


However, since I understand that not everyone is going to necessarily want to have someone poking around in their character's memory, if you could drop a comment with the following, it would be much appreciated.

-Character name:
-Can Emil, either accidentally or otherwise, read your character's mind? Yes/No
--If yes, how far can he go/is there anything you'd like him to either not pick up on or not share if he does?
-If it should it come up, are you okay with your character being hypnotized? Yes/No - if the answer is yes, I will still always ask before he makes any attempt.
-Other Notes: Got something else that might be relevant and want to tell me? This is place for it!

For Arnold/Maglor

YES by all means do whatever you like, and he can go as deep as he wants, too. Mags had considerable mental defences but Arnold has the defence of a wet paper bag, and is likely to be up for experimentation if Emil wants to practice.

Emil is more likely to want to practice the telepathy than the hypnotism, but noted all the same. o7

Liam Benedict / Legolas

-Yes
-pick up on what you like!
-Sure

(With how little my drive had been lately, and that we're in endgame, I don't think this will come up, but you never know!)

[ruleorserve]

Noted!

(It's entirely possibly it might not! But better to have asked than not, I figure.)

-Character name: Emilia Stacojiu
-Can Emil, either accidentally or otherwise, read your character's mind? Yes
--If yes, how far can he go/is there anything you'd like him to either not pick up on or not share if he does? As far as Emi will allow it.
-If it should it come up, are you okay with your character being hypnotized? No, unless it's to stop her from doing something very ill-advised.

That'll probably be one of the very few reasons he'll turn to his hypnotism, given that he doesn't share his other self's enthusiasm/inclination for same just yet.

And noted on the other parts.

-- He can totally try to mindread, but he'd probably bounce off a bit since she's been Shielding her thoughts. OTOH, if he ever tries to talk in her head to her, she'll talk back to him.

-- She's probably got too strong of a will to get hypnotized.

-- As I mentioned before, the horse is psychic :3

Psychic hooooorse (I still love those books a lot).


I'm not certain if he'll think to try talking to other people, but if he does, he'll be more than glad to have someone to talk to.

Hm! I think I'm cool with all of this for all three of mine (Julien, Nat, Gwyneth). Julien perceives the world through very very inhuman senses, especially sight and hearing, and does not like being bird-shaped. Gwyneth senses where earth, stone, and metal are relative to her at all times. Nat is psychic herself and has a good sense of psychics, so she may catch him, block him, and/or read things in turn.

[ruleorserve]

So noted on all accounts! And if he starts poking around in Nat's general direction I'll let you know then, along with anything she might pick up in return.

[stefanged]

For Stefan, I'm good with all of these! His preincarnation would've been able to pick up on him being hypnotized and may have had some mental defenses, but as it stands - I don't think he'd regain any of that before endgame. o/
