General
Character Name: Bagoas, son of Artembares, son of Araxis
Species (human/alien/vampire/other?): human
Extra-human/abnormal abilities, if any?: N/A
Psychology
1. Is it okay for your character's thoughts to be read/their mind to be probed? Yes!
2. Is it okay for any of your character’s intense/distressing memories to be seen/heard/read in this situation? Yes!
3. What kind of mind does your character have? Are they disturbed at all? Are their thoughts ordered or jumbled? I'll get back to this. For the time being, take your cues from narrative text.
4. Is it okay for your character’s emotions to be sensed? Definitely.
5. Does your character have a weak or strong mind? Are they susceptible to influence or hypnotism? Strong mind, but susceptible to hypnotism. He's strong in the sense that he's survived tremendous horrors and massive trauma, and come out the other end relatively unscathed and surprisingly sane. But he's never had any sort of training to withstand hypnotism or the like.
6. Does your character have supernatural/mental fortification against mind-reading or telepathic communication? ...nope. See above.
7. In the case of characters who are extra-sentient/psychic and can just 'know' things about people, can the muns of these characters use the powers of Wikipedia to get information about your character? Sadly, wikipedia is terribly sparse. Use my application post for reference, or just ask me via aim or e-mail. :3
8. If so, is there anything that should absolutely never ever be brought up? Nope. :3 You reap what you sow, ICA=ICC, and I want it all. I'm also notorious for loving to break my pups just a little bit. Or a lot.
9. Anything that should absolutely be brought up? Nothing I can think of right now.
10. Will thoughts in the narration be up for grabs? If so, how will you indicate these? Italics/strikes/something else? Either italics for stand-alone thoughts, or narrative convention, i.e: If only I knew what to do with myself in this strange new land, thought Bagoas.
11. Does your character have any fears/phobias that you wouldn't mind being exploited? Ones that you'd like to NOT be exploited? No phobias, but superstition and massive past trauma are all up for grabs. :D Just send me a message or e-mail, and we can plot.
Physiology
1. Is it okay for your character to be affected by chemical agents? Fear toxins, for example? Definitely, yes.
2. Does your character have any unique biological difference that would affect their resistance to toxins/chemical substances? Nope.
3. Does your character have any notable genetic/supernatural/biological difference that would make their blood in any way different to a regular baseline human's (that would make them taste different if they were fed on by a vampire, for example)? A startling lack of testosterone? >_> Other than that, no.
Physical
1. How okay are you with your character coming to physical harm? Very. But expect him to fight back as best he can. Or run away very fast.
2. How okay are you with your character's home/possessions being targeted by bad guys? Very okay.
3. Can your character be impacted by telekinesis? Oh yes.
4. With regard to vampires, would your character be willing to be a donor? Maaaaaybe if someone explained to him what it was all for. As per the blood donor thing already in place for, say, Mick. With needles. Done by a doctor. But he isn't the biggest guy, so it would have to be teeny quantities.
5. If no, then how about unwilling? I'm going to have to say no at this point. It would trigger too many rape memories and generally mess him up to no end.
6. With regard to shapeshifters, are you okay with having those with this power taking the shape of your character? Have a chat with me first, let's make it into a plot. :3
7. If your character has any superhuman abilities, would you be okay with these being replicated by those who have the power to absorb/take on the powers of others? N/A
8. In a physical confrontation, is it okay if characters who have the power to sense/foresee/predict movements use this to their advantage against your character? Yup.
9. Are you willing to participate in plots where your character will sustain damage outside of a fight, such as in situations with torture, environmental hazards, or accidents? Yup.
10. Is there anything about them that would stand out noticeably (things like scars, physical augmentations, illness, anomalies, etc.) if they were ever injured or otherwise examined by a doctor? Are any of these things noticeable to others without close inspection? He was castrated at age ten. Meaning, no testicles, a perhaps startling lack of body hair, a less than developed Adam's apple, and long limbs. A doctor may note his heart isn't the strongest of the bunch, and would know he's at risk for any number of unpleasant conditions due to testosterone deficiency.
But you'd have to get very close indeed to see much of this. As always, chat with me if you want to plot stuff in this vein.
Magics
1. Can your character be influenced and tempted by magical or supernatural means? Yuss.
2. If yes, will someone with the ability be able to find this out about them, and in what areas (think the seven deadly sins) can your character be tempted? There are no seven deadly sins where Bagoas comes from. But he is a little bit vain, and wants love like some people want money.
3. Could your character be glamoured (a form of mind control employed by vampires to make humans compliant/alter their memories etc.)? Yes. But...let's chat.
4. Can your character be effected by spells of any kind, and are there any specific types to which they would be immune? Any kind. Except his world and religion (Zoroastrianism) predates Christianity, so spells or something calling upon saints or demons from the Bible would probably not be quite so effective. Mostly because I overthink stuff like this.
5. Can your character's presence be sensed by characters with the power to read auras/pick up generalized vibes from people? Sure.
6. If yes, what kind of stand-out things about your character can be sensed? ...I'll get back to you on this.
7. With regard to characters that can sense danger/receive visions/predict general doom, are you okay with your character being the subject of any of this, if the occasion arises? Oh yes.
Privacy
1. Will your character change their name as it is shown on the map? If so, what will they change it to? Nope. It says 'Bagoi' in Old Persian cuneiform, with parenthesis following right after, saying (Bagoas). He wouldn't get the idea to change his name. It's his name, and it even looks right.
2. If they’re able, will they ever opt to hide their location on the map? Maybe. We'll see. But it would take time for him to learn the tablet that well.
3. If your character is from an earlier point in their canon than another member of your cast, what is and is not okay for your fellow castmate to spill the beans about regarding your character’s future? Not sure. I think I'd have to talk to the other player about it, figure something out one-on-one.
4. With regard to characters that like to snoop, can they find anything that's been publicly said by your character through the tablets? Yes. Locking conversations? What is this thing?
5. How about privately? See above.
6. Is there anything you'd especially like to be known about your character, for the purposes of amusement? Bagoas shares his name with a cruel, ambitious, murderous Vizier to not one but three kings. And they lived during the same time period too. It amuses me, and would amuse me if anyone mistook the one for the other.
7. Anything you especially don't? Nope. Bagoas would hate it to be known that his namesake is Bagoas the Vizier. >:3
8. Do you like threadhopping (a character not already in a thread jumping in unexpectedly to reply to a comment), and are you okay with other people threadhopping in your threads and posts? Not really on both counts. I'm screwed enough by time zones to keep track of one-on-one threads. But if it's for plot purposes, it's okay.
