Permissions post

Between Alastor's telepathic/empathic abilities and the fact that he literally lives in the movies, it's very easy to cross into infomodding with him. So to avoid that, I have here a handy little permissions post for these abilities.

Telepathy: Simply put, is he allowed to read your character's thoughts or project his voice into their mind?
Empathy: Can he sense your character's emotions? Normally he has to do this deliberately, but he might pick up on particularly strong emotions without even trying.
Is your character from a movie? Self explanatory.
If yes, can he be aware of this? If you'd rather not have your character directly fourth walled, he could have been through a movie that's remarkably similar but not quite the same.
If no, can he be aware of popular references to your character's canon? No major details, but things he might find in a show within a show or similar shout outs.

(Players from Daybreak Academy only need to answer the first two questions.)

Telepathy: Yes, but Sollux hears psychic voices and they'd probably cause interference of a sort. They're not as common in Equestria as he's used to, though. Also he'd probably be able to sense it, but doesn't have any way to stop it.
Empathy: Eyup, but Sollux's emotions are so volatile it might not be a wise choice ;)
Is your character from a movie? Nope.
If yes, can he be aware of this? N/A
If no, can he be aware of popular references to your character's canon? Sure.

Ahahah...I think Sollux might be a case where he can't help but pick up on emotions. The canon example was with a possessing spirit driven by hatred, so Sollux's tendency to flip out when agitated miiiiight make his emotions hard to ignore.

heh, he'd probably might as well be broadcasting when he's flipping out one way or another (not that one would need empathetic powers to pick up on it then!)

You're going to give him headaches, Sollux. Not that...he isn't used to those, just from other sources.
