Permissions backtagging YES threadjacking YES fourthwalling DISCUSS FIRST mindreading DISCUSS FIRST touching YES shipping/kissing DISCUSS FIRST fighting/injury YES character death YES ABILITY PERMISSIONS Quintessa has a number of powerful abilities that have been nerfed for RP. All of the listed abilities are OPT-IN — none of them will be used in a thread without player permission. Please use this post to opt-in to any you'd be up for plotting with, or hit me up in the game discord or at sojourney Extradimensional Knowledge Since Bayverse is unclear as to whether Quintessa is actually a goddess-level being of some kind or just a space witch masquerading as one, she may reveal that she knows characters' names, origins, or traits without IC explanation. (Similar in line with how the Primes are depicted in other continuities — looking at you, Maccadam!) Please let me know if you're fine with me wiki-diving some random facts she can use to try and manipulate your character with, or if there's anything in particular you DON'T want to come up in this manner. Energy Manipulation The energy acts like electricity, but also seems to have a biological component when it comes to Cybertronians in that it interrupts their movements and functions. (She drives Optimus to his knees on the first use of it, and then later continually shocks him with it.) Presumably it is also not terribly healthy for her to shock an organic with either. Opt-in player choice as to how severely, if at all, these energy bursts may affect a character. Telekinesis Quintessa is able to control large constructs made of metal, summoning up chains to restrain her opponent and move him throughout the area. She also uses this ability to levitate herself, and can push/pull/move objects and people. Player choice how effectively this impacts their character. Hypnosis/Mind Control She can overpower another's mind and instill her commands on their psyche. This does seem to have a physical component since OP's compulsion to obey her seems to stem from where she initially struck his face. For RP setting, no control will be imparted without explicit pre-planning with the other player(s). As an optional plot element, being in her presence can produce a low level of suggestibility that gradually increases with repeated exposure. Transfiguration Her ability to rewrite a mech's frame, causing them to undergo changes, upgrades, or healing with her power. Pre-plotted effect only, not applicable through incidental interactions with her. Disguise Her human disguise appears to have varying levels of "completeness", in that sometimes she glows. At other player discretion whether they can detect non-human attributes about her. CONTINUITY NOTES I draw inspiration from various Transformers continuities when playing this character. Aligned and IDW2005 have a heavy influence on how I portray Cybertronian concepts, culture, terminology and some aspects of their history, and G1/DW to a lesser degree. If non-adherence to canon purity/mixing of continuity traits concerns or upsets you, please let me know on this post so I can either restrict how much of this arises during threading, or we can ascertain how to keep our characters' interactions to a minimum. OPT-OUT? If you prefer that I not tag your characters at all (no explanation required, though if it's a fixable issue, I encourage you to use my public HMD post) please drop me a comment on this post and include your character(s) journals, please.
