[thirsted]

character name: Astarion Ancunín

can wanda access your character's surface thoughts (things referenced in your tags that the character would be thinking about in that precise scene)?: Yes; however, he will be able to tell that his thoughts are being read, and will react poorly if this was not discussed beforehand. (This blanket applies to the Y/N answers below.)
can wanda access your character's deeper thoughts (things not necessarily referenced but may come across the character's mind often)?: Yes; see above.
if yes to thoughts, what are common things your character tends to think about often?: A major concern of Astarion's is freedom — he desires autonomy and the ability to live without fear, particularly fear of subjugation. He thinks a lot about his past — of two hundred years spent in servitude — and of revenge upon his maker. He also feels a constant hunger. On the brighter side of things, he does also think about his life in Saltburnt; about the friends he's made as well as how little he trusts the house.

can wanda access your character's emotions (not exact thoughts but a general idea of how your character may be feeling in the moment)?: Yes.
if yes to emotions, what are some of your character's most common moods?: He is in a constant state of guardedness. Everything else comes second.

can wanda access your character's fears?: Yes.
oocly, would you be okay with wanda using these fears against them depending on the context of the thread (such as casting illusions to make them seem real)?: I'm fine with it; Astarion will immediately develop a grudge.
if yes to fears, what are some things she might be able to see they're scared of: Cazador Szarr; losing the ability to walk in sunlight; losing the trust of those he considers his friends.

can wanda access your character's memories (short-term or long-term)?: Yes.
if yes to memories, what are some significant positive memories she might be able to pull (these may be used for comforting the character or trying to calm them)?: All of his positive memories are recent: discovering that the tadpole severed his connection to Szarr; being reunited with Gale; having hot toddies with Matt; Hawk actually listening to what he has to say; Lauralae professing her absolute trust in him.
if yes to memories, what are some significant negative memories she might be able to pull (these may be used against the character to either fend them off or make them afraid)?: His death is a particularly traumatic event (he was beaten to death on the street); he was once buried in a coffin for a year; on multiple occasions, he was commanded to feed on rats.

is there anything else of note (having magical abilities or being affected magically, not being quite human, being cursed, etc.) that wanda may be able to sense? The reason he'd be able to sense anyone poking around in his head is the Mindflayer tadpole in his brain! He also has an innate connection to magic as an elf and possesses some rudimentary magical abilities. He has part of a ritual carved into his back but this does not emanate magical energy per se.
is there anything else not mentioned above with wanda's abilities you'd like to avoid? I don't think so!

[agoniser]

character name: Marazhai Aezyrraesh

can wanda access your character's surface thoughts (things referenced in your tags that the character would be thinking about in that precise scene)?: Yep!
can wanda access your character's deeper thoughts (things not necessarily referenced but may come across the character's mind often)?: Also yep!
if yes to thoughts, what are common things your character tends to think about often?: closes my eyes. violence and murder, torture, feeling pain, giving pain. it's bad in there!! But in general if this is something she'd want to do, just let me know and I'll include more detail in tags.

can wanda access your character's emotions (not exact thoughts but a general idea of how your character may be feeling in the moment)?: Yes!
if yes to emotions, what are some of your character's most common moods?: I think the overall first impression would be that Marazhai is very on edge, like if someone says or does the wrong thing, he'd physically attack them. In that, there's an undercurrent of deep existential dread and paranoia. Yet, despite that, he also generally seems to be happy? It'd be a confusing impression, I imagine, but to just explain OOC and Wanda can interpet as she wishes, the existential dread is just a part of what he is and is baked into him. A good mood can be very separate from that, but it's always there!

can wanda access your character's fears?:Yes
oocly, would you be okay with wanda using these fears against them depending on the context of the thread (such as casting illusions to make them seem real)?: I'm totally down with it OOC, but IC Marazhai is likely to react extremely negatively and will go straight for Kill, so approach with caution lmao
if yes to fears, what are some things she might be able to see they're scared of:
Marazhai's number one fear and the source of that existential dread is a god of his universe, She Who Thirsts. The short lore explanation is that Drukhari are the way they are to stave off being noticed by She Who Thirsts, because the god will, uh, eat their souls if they're "found". It's a true death for a race that's functionally immortal, and it's viscerally terrifying for them because they also tend to hear She Who Thirsts not infrequenly. That connection is gone in Salt for ease, but he'd flip out just to hear the voice again and could go on a murder spree because of it.

To a lesser extent, he's also afraid of Haemonculi, which are Drukhari that put you back together again when you're broken, but it's really extreme torture and they hold a lot of power within Drukhari society.

can wanda access your character's memories (short-term or long-term)?: Yes
if yes to memories, what are some significant positive memories she might be able to pull (these may be used for comforting the character or trying to calm them)?:
- Killing his sister, Yremeryss
- Joining the Rogue Trader's side when fighting in the Arena
- His first "Feast" with the Rogue Trader (a killing spree that turned into sex)
- Generic "a really good torture session" of which he probably has many

if yes to memories, what are some significant negative memories she might be able to pull (these may be used against the character to either fend them off or make them afraid)?:
- His interrogation of the Rogue Trader going poorly and being stripped of his rank
- "Encountering" She Who Thirsts during his first warp jump (FTL space travel) with the Rogue Trader
- Generic "a really bad torture session" of which he definitely has many...

is there anything else of note (having magical abilities or being affected magically, not being quite human, being cursed, etc.) that wanda may be able to sense?
He's very obviously not human lol, but if she'd notice, his soul is separate from his body. It's stored in a little red stone that he always wears.
is there anything else not mentioned above with wanda's abilities you'd like to avoid?
all good for me!! I'm playing the problem child in this case LMF

[breeding]

character name: Homelander

can wanda access your character's surface thoughts (things referenced in your tags that the character would be thinking about in that precise scene)?: Yes.
can wanda access your character's deeper thoughts (things not necessarily referenced but may come across the character's mind often)?: Yes.
if yes to thoughts, what are common things your character tends to think about often?: Any amount of digging around in Homelander's mind makes it clear that his ego is incredibly fragile; he is extremely prideful but also extremely lonely — his strength in the thing he's proudest of but also the thing that has ultimately isolated him and tainted his relationships with other people. He yearns for approval and love, but will always resort to violence before attempting to solve a problem peacefully.

can wanda access your character's emotions (not exact thoughts but a general idea of how your character may be feeling in the moment)?: Yes.
if yes to emotions, what are some of your character's most common moods?: His moods fluctuate a lot, but whatever he's feeling at any given moment, he feels very strongly.

can wanda access your character's fears?: Yes.
oocly, would you be okay with wanda using these fears against them depending on the context of the thread (such as casting illusions to make them seem real)?: Yes.
if yes to fears, what are some things she might be able to see they're scared of: He is most afraid of being powerless. He hates being lonely but hates it more for being an emotion he views as "weak."

can wanda access your character's memories (short-term or long-term)?: Yes.
if yes to memories, what are some significant positive memories she might be able to pull (these may be used for comforting the character or trying to calm them)?: His positive memories are all tainted, e.g. the day he met Maeve is a big positive memory that has since warped given the direction their relationship has taken. In-game, his most significant positive memories are 1) Alicent somehow not being disappointed after discovering that he can be killed, 2) having Aemond confide in him after Gideon's death, and 3) realizing that he and Set are of (as far as he's concerned) the same mind.
if yes to memories, what are some significant negative memories she might be able to pull (these may be used against the character to either fend them off or make them afraid)?: The entirety of his childhood is a huge negative memory; he was raised as a lab rat and subjected to constant tests that amounted to torture as Vought scientists tested the limits of his strength and durability. He also still feels sorely about discovering that Madelyn Stillwell never actually felt any fondness for him, as well as the circumstances of Stormfront's death. In-game, he is recovering from having died at Maeve's hands.

is there anything else of note (having magical abilities or being affected magically, not being quite human, being cursed, etc.) that wanda may be able to sense? No magical abilities.
is there anything else not mentioned above with wanda's abilities you'd like to avoid? Narp!

As of November 2024, he's thinking a lot about his recent (slow, painful) death at the hands of Pierce Strickland.

oocly, would you be okay with wanda using these fears against them depending on the context of the thread (such as casting illusions to make them seem real)?: y
if yes to fears, what are some things she might be able to see they're scared of: Matt is worried that he's come back from the dead Wrong, so anything that has to do with death/decomposition/him hurting someone would fit the bill. He's also scared of the demon he summoned when he was a teenager, which tends to manifest as black smoke in the general shape of a person.

can wanda access your character's memories (short-term or long-term)?: y
if yes to memories, what are some significant positive memories she might be able to pull (these may be used for comforting the character or trying to calm them)?: Matt playing with his sister when they were kids! Some of his best memories with her are making a blanket fort, braiding her hair, and her coming to comfort him when he had nightmares. Positive memories also include the first magic spells he cast, which include conjuring light, fire, and shields. Also levitation. :3
if yes to memories, what are some significant negative memories she might be able to pull (these may be used against the character to either fend them off or make them afraid)?: (cw: sexual assault/domestic violence, murder) Most of Matt's worst memories involve his Terrible Vampire Ex, who once threatened to drink all his blood. I am just now realizing as I type this that Pierce did drain all his blood from his body ... oops ... WOOHOO. Less dramatic bad memories involve being in his parents' house for boring dinner parties in restrictive clothes.

is there anything else of note (having magical abilities or being affected magically, not being quite human, being cursed, etc.) that wanda may be able to sense? As of November 2024, Matt has the angel death mechanic going, so .... there's that! His magical aura manifests as a golden glow.
is there anything else not mentioned above with wanda's abilities you'd like to avoid? nah nah go wild

is there anything else of note (having magical abilities or being affected magically, not being quite human, being cursed, etc.) that wanda may be able to sense? Wanda will probably be able to sense that Emmrich is magically talented! He is not, however, cursed, or anything of the like.
is there anything else not mentioned above with wanda's abilities you'd like to avoid? Nope!

character name: caroline forbes
