Opt In Post

I decided to do a seperate post to do an opt in post for some of the powers Aerith has, magic and cetra wise! Just this way it can be completely clear what Aerith may or may not pick up on a person, completely by accident or purposefully.

It'll be broken down into two sections, just to make things a little more clear. And of course, if there is any confusion, please ask! I'd be happy to clarify.

Magic:

Aerith, being a warden has access to a staff. Within it are seven orbs known as materia. The full list of magic spells that she can use can be found here . Spells that can effect other characters (other than healing and depoisoning) that may concern others that she can perform are the following:

Barriers to physical/magic
Confusion- causes target to attack allies
Barrier removal
Stop- making character unable to move for at least a turn
Forcing sleep
Elemental attacks (ice/fire/earth/gravity/lightning/poison)

She also has instant death magic that she could cast, but she will not cast it without prior planning and permission by the players. There is also a percentage chance that it would not work.

While Aerith does have these abilities, she also has the following abilities due to her Half-cetra status, which is known as:

Cetra

As being a Cetra, she can commune with the planet (and plants). But more importantly, she could do the following:

Sensing unseen things.
This has mostly been implied and seen with her being aware of sensing other's death. She won't know how they've died- just that they're no longer among the living.

Imparting information.

Through physical touch, Aerith can impart information to other people or sentient creatures. It can be a little or a lot of information. This is something that Aerith may struggle to do on command, as it's only been indicated in canon once.

Sharing dreams.
Aerith has been able to share a dream in a setting of her choosing in order to have a conversation. She appeared to have been in control of the setting, and only once she had walked away, did Cloud wake up.

In short, unless you opt in, Aerith will use any cetra abilities, nor will she use magic to cause an altered state (as in forcing sleep, death, etc) without consent of the players involved.

Character Name: The Butcher Dennis Collins

Magic:

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Yep. He ain't got any.
Confused? lmao. Sure. He'll probably deserve it at some point.
Forced asleep? Yes. Or he'll deserve this if he stays on her good side maybe instead.
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? He wouldn't know how to cast one. But if someone else does, go right on ahead.
Other comments on magic? Collins distrusts magic for Reasons. He won't even want a healing spell cast his way. Maybe she can convince him otherwise, but until then... he'll probably be grumpy when he learns she has it.

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? Yes.
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Yes.
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? Can't really think of any limits. Either way! Whichever way makes sense for whatever is going on. So if you ever wanna make it happen, we can do an accidental or if it comes up naturally in a thread where it looks like it would be useful we can do a purposeful attempt.
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Sure.

Other

Anything else not covered here? If you want, I would be content to have Aerith be capable of hearing Collins's inner music some day. It seems like it could fit her Cetra abilities if wanted and we could discuss it if we wanted to play around with the idea. It's an important part of Collins so it could open up an interesting field of play. I dunno, just shooting that out there.

Character Name: Will Graham

Magic:

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? n/a, he doesn't have any, but yes
Confused? yes!
Forced asleep? yes.
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? yep.
Other comments on magic? Any of this is good, honestly.

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? yes!
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Sure.
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? It could be either.
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Yep!

Other

Anything else not covered here? Will has an empathy condition and hunted serial killers for a living, so his dreams can get really dark. Unsure if that's a plus or a minus, but just to let you know! I'm okay with pretty much any magic being used on him.

Character Name: Madelyne Pryor

Magic:

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Yes! But she would be extremely pissy about it.
Confused? Yes! LBR redirecting her level of aggression isn't hard.
Forced asleep? Yes, but I think she'd be able to snap herself out of it fairly quickly.
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? Physical, yes; magical, yes but it might take more time/power than usual? Maddie can also do telekinetic shields - I think they'd also be affected but it might take Aerith a second to figure out WTF That Is.
Other comments on magic? She'll be fascinated by it and want to compare notes! Some of hers are written in blood, sorry Aerith.

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? Go for it! Not only has she died a bunch, her soul is a fragment that only exists because the first Phoenix died. (Speaking of which, Aerith might be able to sense that, since it's a force of life and rebirth?)
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Go for it!
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? Either is good for me; if it's a tactical thing Maddie wouldn't even blink, that's just the mutant playbook.
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Yes! She'll probably realise what's happening, because she tends to be a lucid dreamer.

Character Name: Zerxus Ilerez ([personal profile] withintenfeet)

Magic:

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Yes! But I don't this would apply to passive magic like paladin auras that buff his allies.
Confused? I'm gonna say 50/50 on whether he can resist this one or not.
Forced asleep? Since in DND it's much easier to do this once the target has lost a bunch of HP, I'm gonna say "yes but only if she kicks his ass a bit first".
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? Physical, yes; magical, yes but it might take a more powerful spell? Maddie can also do telekinetic shields - I think they'd also be affected but it might take Aerith a second to figure out WTF That Is.
Other comments on magic? Paladin and cleric team-up let's gooo

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? Yes! He has also died a bunch, that is apparently my character type. (Three times in a few minutes before arriving on the Barge, twice on the Barge, and more than a few times during his canon update.)
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Yes!
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? Either is good; Zerxus is also used to sharing info this way.
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Yes, but he'd be wary about it because certain devils really like that trick.

Other

Anything else not covered here? Zerxus is an untrained oracle, which basically means he has some kind of connection to divinity that lets him dream about the future. This isn't exactly the same as tapping into the spiritual energy of the planet but it could be close enough that they feel the similarity in some way, if the opportunity arises.

Character Name: Alan Wake

Magic: Yea

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Yes
Confused? Yes
Forced asleep? Yes
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? Yes, although any protective spells might be a bit wonky given his parautilitarian status in canon. If it comes up, happy to collaborate!
Other comments on magic? I'm easy, beebsy!

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? Yes! Multiple if she wants. Alan's been through loop after loop of his own death which is both real and not due to Remedyverse being wonky as hell. He's very much not a ghost or anything and is very much alive.
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Yes!
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? Down for either or, depending on what we need for the scene
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Please! This is sick as hell I straight up forgot she could do that.

Character Name: Ashton Carver

Magic:

Are you okay with:

Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Yes (though none of their presently accessible abilities qualify)
Confused? Ash is immune to 'any attacks that would go after their mind and control of their self' unless they're the aggressor in a situation, so unless that protection has been turned off they're Null Confuse (...conditionally).
Forced asleep? Yes
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? Yes
Other comments on magic? Objectively healing magic should work fine on Ash despite being undead, but they'd 100% be weak to Holy, so Aerith's healing might actually cause harm? Not sure.

Cetra

Are you all right with:

Aerith sensing your character's death? Yes
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Yes
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? No limits, no preference
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Yes
