MoM Permissions; Charm Speak

[cicatrize]

So, powers! The main one this permissions page is going to be geared to is Charm Speak, which works sort of like a mind control power - Jack says "go get me a beer from the fridge" in a certain tone and inflection, and the listener feels compelled to go get Jack a beer from the fridge. Here's the in depth detail for it, along with his two other powers:

Charm Speak :: I'm taking a lot of this from the Percy Jackson canon, as that's the one I've mostly heard this sort of power used in. Jack will be able to use a sort of mind control that means, if he speaks with an express purpose of utilizing this power, those that he's targeting will feel immediately compelled to do whatever he tells them to. At the time, it will seem like the most logical thing in the world to the target, and/or they'll feel a strong urge to do whatever they're asked to win Jack's favor (I'm thinking I'll leave that up to the players of whoever he uses this on/have it affect characters differently). However, this power is going to be based more from a mental manipulation, psychic sort of standpoint, not in attraction or in sonics like the PJO power is. It'll work more like a kind of telepathic power, and tap into that commanding sort of nature of his, Jack's general willpower put into taking control of things, and charisma he actively displays in canon when wanting to enforce his will on others/get his way politically. So (at least at first) he'll have to have his undivided attention put into the activation of the power in order to make it work, and he'll have to train a great deal to make it work on more than one person, and over something like the network rather than in person. But it is not something Jack can use on accident. He has to consciously enact it.

Shape-shifting :: Jack will be able to change his appearance at will - clothing and height and weight included, basically think Mystique minus the walking around naked part (most of the time minus the walking around naked part). He'll have to know the exact details of what he's mimicking (if a person has a birthmark on their butt that Jack isn't aware of, it wouldn't show up if he's shape-shifting to impersonate them). It will be limited to only humanoid shapes (likely restricted to purely human for a while before he trains it enough to manage, like, Turians), and the further the change is from Jack's natural form in terms of mass and biology, the shorter the span of time he'll be able to spend in it. As he first starts training this power, it'll be, like minutes, probably. And he'll have to work at it to build it to hour(s). It will also be an entirely physical change - not an illusion.

Flawless Hair :: Regardless of what horrible tumbling Jack may do, his hair will constantly be in a state of perfect looking. Well, since perfect-looking is subjective, it'll be whatever Jack considers perfect-looking, for whatever occassion is going on at the time. No styling products required. So basically if Kitty Jones pats his shoulder, he'll have insta-bedhead and it'll be very embarrassing.

The only questions this permissions form will have for YOU are going to be based on Charm Speak - the others I just tossed in for sake of reference. But here's the form I'd like to have you guys fill out:

<b>Your Name + Best Method of Contact:</b> <b>Character & Journal:</b> <b>Can your character be affected by Jack's Charm Speak?:</b> This has nothing to do with if your character is attracted to dudes or not - it isn't based on attraction for Jack like it is in PJO - it's purely a mental manipulation sort of thing. So, if your character has defenses to mental fuckery, those would come into play, or just general power immunity. If it's more of an iffy thing, like 'it will be difficult but possible', just let me know and give me a rundown of how the iffy thing works o7 <b>Are you okay with Jack Charm Speaking your character?:</b> If you want to put down 'just always ask me first for every situation' here, that's totally cool, just make sure you leave me a solid method of contact to get a hold of you. I'll likely always try to ask or at least warn people first any time Jack uses this power. <b>What things do you absolutely NOT want Jack commanding your character to do?</b> As an fyi, anything sexual is forever off the table, even so much as like kissing - it's incredibly OOC for Jack and also hella gross in general, we're not going there so don't worry about it :| Anything that would involve someone dying or an attempt at murder will likely not happen, and if it does come up, there will be a fuck ton of plotting done beforehand. So this is for more particular things. <b>Anything Else?:</b> What up?

Can your character be affected by Jack's Charm Speak?: He's got some trust issues, and he's usually pretty careful with people, but he doesn't have any real defenses against something like that. So, yes, I'd say he'd be affected.
Are you okay with Jack Charm Speaking your character?: I'm totally okay with it. You can contact me through one of the above if he's going to do it, or just imply in the tag somewhere that he is, just so I'm on the same page.
What things do you absolutely NOT want Jack commanding your character to do? Telling him to hurt anyone. It's not his thing.
Anything Else?: Nope. :>
