[ooc] permissions post
Backtagging: Absolutely!!
Threadjacking: Sure, just ask permission first by pinging me on Plurk (if you have it) or leaving me a PM.
Timezone: EST
Preferred method of contact: Plurk or private messages. If you have Skype, you can also reach me at athenapants.
Prose or Action?: Either, or. I usually gravitate towards bracket action-style [like this], though.
Fourthwalling: Yes, but I should add that I'd prefer it if all fourthwalling is kept at fairy tale recognition. It's totally fine if your character recognizes him as the Big Bad Wolf from fairy tale lore; it's not cool if they recognize him as Sheriff Bigby Wolf from Vertigo's Fables/Telltale's The Wolf Among Us.
Can I injure him?: Of course!
Can I kill him?: It depends! Contact me first and we'll talk about it. This also goes for maiming and mutilating, but I'm pretty flexible so don't be afraid to approach me if you have any ideas.
Can I read his mind?: Again, talk to me first! As a note to all psychics, Bigby is very easily recognizable as being inhuman if you have the ability to discern such things through mind reading, aura reading, etc. His human appearance was crafted through some very powerful magic, and his innate smell is distinctly animal should your character be able to pick up on it.
Comfort levels: No rape, pedophilia or bestiality. Gore is fine, though! If you're ever worried about whether or not your character and the subject matter around them would mesh well with him, please contact me!
Finally, here's one for you guys! One of Bigby's powers is his acutely tuned sense of smell, which the comics (and to a tiny degree, the game) present as extremely powerful. How powerful are we talking about? Well, powerful enough to the point where he has to dull it by smoking like a chimney to keep himself from going into a sensory overload when he's in a heavily populated city like New York. He can smell things that are miles away and determine how old certain substances such as blood are. In Smoke and Mirrors, he finds an apple at a crime scene and deduces that it's not poisoned, stating that he'd easily be able to smell it if it was. This power also applies to sensing emotion. He can, quite literally, smell fear; basic emotions like anger and happiness also apply.
This last point is what affects your character! Because this particular power is always on and doesn't need to rely on whether or not Bigby is transformed for it to be active, I would really appreciate it if you left a comment below telling me if Bigby would be able to read your character's emotions through smell. This is not the same as being able to read their mind or sense their powers; all it does is give him an indication of what they're feeling and not why. If no comment is left or if you opt out, he won't presume anything about their emotional state that he wouldn't already know or be able to reasonably suspect through basic common sense.
Additionally, if you play a character who is a shapeshifter or an animal turned human, please add in your comment if Bigby would be able determine that they are as such through their scent. Thanks!
