[PERMISSIONS v2] OPT IN/OUT



Hi all,

Witchers are equipped with a number of items, spells and abilities that make them adept monster hunters and incredibly difficult people to RP. I've created a super basic form for you to opt in/. Feel free to use it, write your own blurb or just PM me during a thread to let me know if something should or should not be detected.

Medallion Detection:
Here is a link to the wiki page page for a comprehensive explanation. Here is a quote that explains the gist of whether your character might make the medallion pulse.

"Medallions vibrate in response to magic in all its forms, including curses, charms, and spells. They also warn of lurking monsters born of magic or magic experimentation. However, witcher medallions are not foolproof, certain monsters such as dopplers and higher vampires remain undetected whenever in range of a medallion."

Scent:
Please let me know a brief description of what your character generally smells like. If something is different and detectable, write it into your tag and Geralt can react.

Pulse Detection/Truth Sensing:
Geralt can easily hear pulses and can use this to figure out if someone is scared/excited etc. He can also use it to hear someone coming.

You can also opt out of him using it to detect if your character is lying. If your character is not a good liar he can sense their pulse not matching their words. If they're a trained liar, he can probably miss this.

Ultra-Hearing:
This is more for characters who are super stealthy, Geralt can hear an elf nocking an arrow deep in the woods and their breath as they do so he has incredibly good hearing and it is hard to sneak up on him.

That said if your character SHOULD be able to, let me know and he won't hear them coming.

Axii:
Once again, a wiki link.

Axii is a hypnotic spell Geralt can cast, when it works he can use it to influence mood or actions. It doesn't seem to be able to work on some characters but because it is Witcher it doesn't explain why this is. I suspect it is not super effective on strong-minded, magical individuals. It works on monsters.

If you would prefer Geralt doesn't use this or you think it shouldn't be effective let me know.

Morga (The Arcana)

[personal profile] jaegerbomb 2021-09-11 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Medallion Trigger: Yes - She's human, but she's got some magical knowhow (though not to the extent of say, Asra or the malleable protag). Think old magic with runes, etc etc.

Scent: Human; mostly earthy/woodsy, old furs/leather with a trace of a campfire/fireplace thanks to living outdoors most of the time or in the little cabin she's been building. Sometimes has a hint of Bird thanks to Jaeger, and depending on the shampoo she uses something floral (light touch of roses?) and/or vanilla.

Pulse Detected (and description): Go wild! She's still 100% human and has the pulse/heartrate to match. She gets excited and (while rare) nervous/frightened just like anyone else. Insofar as lying she isn't a fan of doing it herself but will if she needs to, so she's gotten pretty good at hiding it with one hell of a poker face. I'm 100% willing to make a note when he's able to call her bluffs though! Call her the hell out do it do it

Gait/Breathing: Being a hunter for nearly the entirety of her childhood and adult life, Morga's gait is fairly light and incredibly quiet along with her breathing, especially when outdoors. Canon mentions her stalking while she moves around at several points, so think something along those lines. Indoors she (mostly) lets herself be heard, because let's be real here - no one needs to have a heart attack at 3 in the morning when that poor soul is trying to raid the kitchen for something to eat.

Axii: Under normal circumstances I'm gonna go on a limb and say no given how strong-willed she is, BUT should Morga ever wind up going Absolutely Feral in her monster form 👀👀👀👀👀👀
