Aug. 3rd, 2015 11:39 pmKristin's powerset is as follows:
Eidetic Memory - Kristin can recall with perfect clarity anything that she sees, hears, or learns. This is a bit of a double-edged sword; if it's information that is useful, it's a boon...but if she sees something traumatic, it's going to be more of a curse.
Paper Manipulation - With focus, she can manipulate sheets of paper (and by extension, move books). If she's got enough concentration, she could actually get pretty fine with this - want a paper crane? She can make one WITH HER MIND. With pure enough effort, she could even make a paper golem. That said, you don't want her to get too angry or upset...out-of-control paper manipulation means a veritable whirlwind of papercuts.
There are limits - she can't slice off an arm with a sheet of paper, for instance, because even at her maximum speed, the paper would crinkle before cutting through. She cannot change the chemical makeup of the paper she manipulates, only move it. If she folded the paper enough times over, she could probably make a workable dart, but she couldn't turn a little ball of paper into a bullet.
Kiss of Knowledge - By kissing a person, Kristin can learn about them. The amount she can learn will be determined OOCly ENTIRELY by individual player permissions, but the range ICly depends on the willpower of the character. It can be as little as shallow knowledge about recent events and state of being...and as much as someone's life story. The kiss can be on the lips, on the hand, on the cheek - any kiss is game.
On the other end (and still by permissions) she can kiss someone else to TRANSMIT information willfully. The retention of the information is up to the other party.
----
So! My questions for you, the player interacting with Kristin in a scenario where he powers are getting used, are:
Is there anything about your character that you do not want Kristin to remember on sight? By default, she is incapable of forgetting anything that she sees, hears, or learns, but she will for the sake of her sanity need to tune certain things out. Since this ability could lead to some trouble with secret identities on some characters, is there anything you want her to conveniently not notice?
How much does your character hate papercuts? Trick question, everyone hates papercuts.
If Kristin kisses your character, what do you want for her to learn about them? This can be as much or as little as you want. ICly it will have to do with some comic book-y brainwave excuse or something, but OOCly the information is entirely at your comfort level.
On the flipside, can Kristin transmit information to your character? How much? This could be a handy skill in a stealth mission or private conversation, but again, it's up to you.
