PERMISSIONS POST
Both of Callaghan's powersets require a bit of elaboration; with Power Theft and Incitement on his ticket, these both necessitate a degree of OOC communication and opt-in.
POWER THEFT;
--Requires physical contact + intent for initial grab, and additional contact for return. There isn't necessarily a sensation/warning that he's doing/done so, unless the nature of the powers would emphasize their absence.
----EXCEPTION; Callaghan can only hold one person's power(set) at a time. If he takes another's, then the previous set will automatically return.
--Vague through-original-owners-eyes sense/memory/idea of how to use said powers upon theft
--No time limit on duration [short of OOC discussion]
Therefore-
CAN CALLAGHAN NAB YOUR CHARACTER'S POWERS? If no, then you can go ahead and ignore the rest of this. I'll always touch base beforehand, though, if this is going to be a long-term thing.
IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY? Generally it's a pretty good mirror of the original wielder's, though there may be a few skews regarding appearance- I can figure that part out, though. Unless you can think of any fun nuances.
HOW LONG WOULD YOU OOCLY WANT THIS TO LAST? Unless it's an outright theft, Cal will probably only 'borrow' with the intent of returning when he's done with something, but I figure this is a good note anyway.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY OF CONTACTING YOU OOCLY? DW PM, plurk, email?
INCITEMENT;
--Instinctive knowledge of a character's 'berserk button'; conversational. Essentially, after a minute or so of conversation, Callaghan may find himself automatically homing in on something he doesn't actually know anything about, addressing an issue in the worst way possible. He has no idea of context, and he has no idea of the details behind it all, short of continuing to talk.
--This is the sort of power that will probably make people want to punch him in the face and I am granting advance OOC permission for anyone to do so based upon this. He'll probably start dodging after the first few times and if you've got super-strength we should probably talk a bit more, but seriously.
--No seriously 9/10 he's probably going to be angry/frustrated when this power comes in to play and therefore it will echo in the way it manifests, insomuch him addressing whatever Thing it is in a manner that will get the other angry/frustrated. Sometimes he can use it for good, though. Sometimes.
--THIS IS NOT A MIND-AFFECTING POWER. Your character is 100% free to respond however they normally will; however, Callaghan can be a tad vitriolic. If your character is super chill and would only snark back then by all means, but it's basically meant to get the strongest response possible.
----It's not really mind-reading, either; for the purposes of characters who have psychic powers and/or reason to defend themselves against such things, you can pull that in to play as a 'defense'; however, if you want, we can also bypass the defenses and go straight for the provocation. 8)
Therefore-
CAN CALLAGHAN GET A 'READ' ON YOUR CHARACTER FOR THIS POWER? If no, feel free to ignore the rest of this.
IF SO, WHAT KIND OF THINGS WOULD COME UP? Did they leave someone back home? Unresolved pools of guilt? Secret crush on profesHE DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THANKS
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU OOCLY WANT ME/CAL TO AVOID? While Cal [with this] can talk about things he doesn't know about, lbr, some things are better left unspoken.
WHAT'S THE WORST YOUR CHARACTER WOULD DO IN RESPONSE? Mostly as an OOC heads-up/warning for me.Baymax, destroy!

IF SO, WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Dorian: healing factor + object dating (telling how old something is via touch). I'd not like Callaghan to nab his immortality because then you'd essentially have a giant pile of dust and I'd kind of like Dorian to stay alive.
Hime: magical girl transformation/Precard generation. He'd probably need her transformation item in order to transform but why the hell would he transform in the first place, you enjoy that skirt and pigtails Callaghan.
Owen: stone hand as Owen, magic as Puck. Puck's third power is species specific (being one of Oberon's Children)
HOW LONG WOULD YOU OOCLY WANT THIS TO LAST? good question, let's plot this shit out if need be.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY OF CONTACTING YOU OOCLY? plurk @ allikateor!
CAN CALLAGHAN GET A 'READ' ON YOUR CHARACTER FOR THIS POWER? yessss
IF SO, WHAT KIND OF THINGS WOULD COME UP? Dorian: wowee he is a pit of regret. Watching as a former boyfriend died, the fact that Dorian himself died to save someone who really probably didn't deserve to be saved, the fact that he's pretty much killed all his loved ones, lather, rinse, repeat.
Hime: she accidentally let the series Big Bad out of pretty much Pandora's box. WHOOPS.
Owen: it would be really hard to find something that would piss Owen off, but if there's one thing to do so, it's the Gathering (where Oberon's calling all the magical people back to Avalon and huh, why would that piss off the seemingly normal Owen, that's a good question isn't it)
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU OOCLY WANT ME/CAL TO AVOID? the whole Owen/Puck thing mostly because it's still an ingame secret. feel free to go "why the hell do you have this issue" though.
WHAT'S THE WORST YOUR CHARACTER WOULD DO IN RESPONSE? DORIAN IS A TERRIBLE PERSON and would pretty much jump right straight to 'punch'. Hime would just end up crying and Owen would just end up glowering.
I also just want cr with Callaghan like whoa so yes.
no subject
but
Can we figure out a way to make something like this happen?
no subject
no subject
and then it's all in the tabloids and he goes 'whelp'and then there's the outright theft/stealing from her/trying to use them against her or whatnotand him just "you know what, how about we both pretend this never happened"
But yeah I'm down with CR for any of those but Magical Girl Yokai needs to happen C:
no subject
ON THE OTHER HAND, she has the potential to get her ass handed to her with regards to bank robbery so she can have him save her if he wants.

I am seeing later CR with them being discussing nuances, if you'd be up for it, a la this kind of thing.
no subject
and yessssss discussing magical girl nuances would be hilarious. be prepared for like, the least scientific explanation ever for how this happens.
no subject
and that's just witchcraft okay
no subject
I'm mad tired tonight, but sometime tomorrow or monday I'll toss the log up!
