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.

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).
