faesphere | [Character Information] Permissions Post: Rui Yamase

Rui Yamase is a fortune teller by trade, but in truth she's actually a past-and-future telepath, which means that, by touching a character and activating her ability, she can read either a part of their past, or a small, vague segment of their future, fortune-teller style. She also has some memory-tweaking power. Her abilities, split into those three segments, are as follows:

Fortune-Telling

Rui touches the character and activates her ability.
She is able to view some segment of the character's future.
Typically she views something related to what the character is thinking about; for example, a customer thinking about who they will marry will get a future of what their wedding might be like.
Here is a sample of Rui's fortune telling.
In Luceti: Because of the limitations of an RP, obviously Rui can't predict a future that I, as her player, am unaware of. Therefore any future-telling will be planned ahead of time through OOC communication. If the players involved agree, she can predict things like pre-planned kidnappings, player plots, and, on occasion, vague details of already-announced events. However this ability will be severely dampened to avoid it being abused.

Telepathy

Rui touches the character and activates her ability.
She is able to view some segment of the character's past.
What she views can vary, but it's usually some sort of powerful memory, something a character feels strongly about; as an example, she touches a character in-game and sees a murder that character witnessed.
During this vision, Rui feels and sees whatever the character saw, both emotionally and physically. Depending on the depth of what she sees, it is also very draining and wears her out.
Here is a sample of Rui's telepathy. (Slight spoilers, if you care.)
In Luceti: This ability won't change, though she won't be able to delve as deeply as normal without practice, and will likely exhaust herself if she tries too soon.

Memory Recovery

Rui touches the character and activates her ability.
She is able to restore sealed memories the afflicted character.
There's no indication that Rui witnesses these memories; her ability is only a trigger for memories that already existed and were locked away for whatever reason.
In canon she is shown only to restore memories sealed away by another telepath, but since it's stated that Rui is a very powerful telepath, it's possible that her abilities run deeper than that.
Here is a sample of Rui's memory restoration. (Again, spoilers- this time for the end of the game.)
As noted in the video, Rui is also able to restore her own sealed memories if she's triggered by something related to those memories, such as a picture or object.
In Luceti: This ability won't change, though it will take more effort to restore any sealed memories. Naturally that would require player permission, and as with the fortune-telling ability, usage of this power should be pre-planned.

As I stated above, Rui is mentioned to be a very powerful telepath in canon, but she lacks experience and her willingness to use it often wavers. Other telepaths or those with particularly strong willpower can stop her from digging too far into their minds, so that's something else to consider.

Filling this out isn't required to thread with Rui! She has to activate her abilities to use them against your character, and she won't do that unless I have permission here. Also, I typically won't have her activate the ability willy-nilly, but rather will ask when I think it's a good time, unless Rui would ICly just go ahead with it, something she's done before.

Please use the form below to let me know how Rui can interact with your character!

Thank you so much!

Character Name: Marco
Character Canon: One Piece
Is your character a telepath, or do they have mental barriers they can put up? No, he has haki (mental willpower strength) but it's unlikely to come into play with regards to this.
Can Rui read segments of your character's past if she touches them? Yes
If yes to the above, what would she see? Marco's canon events: including Marineford -- Massive One Piece spoilers. Highlight to read. Marco is a phoenix and fought to save his best friend from the execution stand. He failed, his bff died, as well as some of their allies, and then he had to watch his father get murdered by a traitor/ex-crewmate who started the whole thing by killing Marco's other best friend a few months previous to Marineford. You mentioned she'd see it from his POV, and I have those written out for an old event, if you ever want it. (It's long so I tried to sum it up all at once.)
Rui can also see into the future. Would you allow this if you have something planned for your character? Yeah. ATM I don't have much/anything planned, but definitely allowed and I'll try to put in an ooc note where applicable.

Character Name: Smoker
Character Canon: One Piece
Is your character a telepath, or do they have mental barriers they can put up? None whatsoever
Can Rui read segments of your character's past if she touches them?
If yes to the above, what would she see? Yes. Mostly there would be a strong sense of marines/soldier things/ocean/fighting pirates. And a recurring thing with him is seeing Gol D. Roger's execution where he smiled. -- Smoker was 12 at the time, and it's what convinced him later to chase Luffy all over all over the world. (And into other worlds given Luceti??)
Rui can also see into the future. Would you allow this if you have something planned for your character? Yup! Though same deal with Marco.

Character Name: Fujiko Mine
Character Canon: Lupin III
Is your character a telepath, or do they have mental barriers they can put up? Not exactly, but she's canon hard to see through even for telepaths. Usually she gets a device, or she just has her own sort of mind-mazes that get thrown up. She's also extremely paranoid and hard to get close to.
Can Rui read segments of your character's past if she touches them? Yes though see above; it'll be difficult.
If yes to the above, what would she see? A LOT of adventures with Lupin III. Some grand heists. Snippets of wars Fujiko's been in (usually as a pilot, but also shooting and sometimes secret agent.) It would take a LOT of digging (like a lot of work) but Rui could possibly get down to the parts where Fujiko was an assassin and some of the people she lost (Poon, her ex-boyfriend she had to shoot and kill, her "brother"(s) who either betrayed her or were killed, ex-allies etc.) -- that would be almost into memory recovery aspects however and Fujiko would not react happily. Like her paranoia would get a lot worse.
Rui can also see into the future. Would you allow this if you have something planned for your character? Definitely. I'll let you know any future plans, future stuff is actually easier for Fujiko atm than the others.
