PREFERENCES

player: kerry
preferred contact: pm
tagging: gmt -- try to tag once per day, happy for action or prose

backtagging: I am absolutely okay with this! Life gets us all, things come first. I will keep tagging things/plot a resolution with you as needed.
threadhopping: If it makes sense! Networks I'm more likely to say just go for but for logs let me know if you'd like to just in case it alters any plans.
fourthwalling: Preferably not!
offensive subjects: None

fighting/injuries/death: Absolutely! Deanna knows the basics of hand-to-hand and has learned a Klingon form of martial arts. She can hold her own with an average human but isn't particularly strong herself.

telepathy/psychic abilities: As a half-Betazoid Deanna's psionic abilities primarily manifest in her being an empath, able to read and feel the emotions of others. She is also able to telepathically communicate with others who are telepathic, both reading and communicating with them. She cannot read the thoughts of anyone who is not telepathic.
mental state: Despite all that Deanna has seen and experienced in her Starfleet service she has a healthy mental state, having coping mechanisms for anything that may have been traumatic and is able to deal with the pain of such experiences. She typically has a very light and positive manner.

physical affection: With friends and people she's familiar with Deanna is not opposed to affection, particularly giving a hug. She's a warm and open person and may hug people that are semi-strangers also.

PERMISSIONS
PSIONIC ABILITIES

As a half-Betazoid Deanna's psionic abilities primarily manifest in her being an empath, able to read and feel the emotions of others. She is also able to telepathically communicate with others who are telepathic, both reading and communicating with them. She cannot read the thoughts of anyone who is not telepathic. Whilst Deanna does (without saying anything) actively read the emotions of others she uses it to guide her interactions with people, often not commenting on it unless she knows the person or finds it necessary in the situation. As such whilst Deanna may know a character's emotions I won't and thus unless a feeling is written in a tag she won't suggest how a character may be feeling/bring it up. Additionally, whilst Deanna is an empath she is also a trained psychologist, naturally intuitive even without her abilities. In terms of telepathy, she isn't naturally inclined to using her telepathic abilities given that Deanna often isn't around other telepaths. She'll only communicate telepathically with someone if she knows that it's okay, that perhaps they've done so before and likely only to share a private message rather than to read any thoughts (unless explicitly given to her).

Comments

[silvallyant]

Gladion
She is very welcome to read Gladion's emotions! He doesn't have any abilities, even temporary, that prevent emotional reading (only a telepathic one that's temporary if he activates it, which would be announced in a thread/tag if he does so anyway, so normally he's defenseless against telepathy unless otherwise stated).

Most of Gladion's emotions are what you'd expect of a fifteen year old boy from the world of Pokemon, although he's got some major emotional conflicts about his mother which occasionally may eat at him as she is the reason he ran away from home two years prior to his canon appearance point in Sun & Moon. He's a tad emotionally compromised with a shorter fuse, but relatively stable as can be, and his time thus far in MoM has helped him on that.

Izaya
She is also very welcome to read Izaya's emotions and I fully recommend she comment on any of his if they happen to interact. (it could prove amusing or disastrous, both of which I love seeing)

He claims not to really care much about others and just enjoy the chaotic happenings around him or the ones he himself is an instigator of. He's only openly emotive in the negative sense surrounding his nemesis/rival, Shizuo Heiwajima. In the positive(?) sense he's... eccentric and much too excited about his "love for humans", but deep down he does actually feel things, even though he'll let them wash right over him. He's just very good at keeping them in check to the untrained eye.
