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.

Thank you so much!

(tl;dr and spoilery so it gets its own comment)

Character Name: Elliot Nightray (

isntyourfriend)
Character Canon: Pandora Hearts
Is your character a telepath, or do they have mental barriers they can put up? He is not. He does have a sort of mental barrier, but it's not something that would prevent Rui from using her powers. Basically, his most painful memories are sealed!
Can Rui read segments of your character's past if she touches them? Yes.
If yes to the above, what would she see? There are a couple things she could see! 1) The night he nearly died protecting his servant. He was stabbed through the chest by this ugly thing (http://i55.tinypic.com/2e3ocxt.jpg). His servant also forced him to drink the blood and make a contract with that same ugly thing. 2) The night he murdered two of his older brothers. The important things to note were the burning mansion, the blood everywhere, and, oh, the fact that they were beheaded.

He's still from early in his canon, so there are a few more things that might be applicable in the future. We can discuss that if it ever comes up, haha. :| Anyway, these are memories that have been sealed due to his chain, Humpty Dumpty. They're still there, and he is capable of remembering them, but it is very difficult to do so, because his chain is constantly trying to make him forget. If it wasn't obvious by the tl;dr, I would find it incredibly fascinating if he and Rui ever have this kind of interaction.
Rui can also see into the future. Would you allow this if you have something planned for your character? Sure. As far as canon stuff goes, there are the deaths of his sister and his mother, as well as his own death. No plans for Luceti at the moment, but we can work that out when the time comes. o/

sob LJ don't be screening my shit

I'm game to have memories restored! It's a new power for Rui so she might need some time to adjust to it, but she'd definitely be open to helping out.

...Also that monster is horrifying D8

That would be awesome. The only other way for him to remember permanently would be for him to die, and I really don't want to do that, haha. :| So this would be sweet. o/

Isn't it creepy? That's why it was screened. LJ was only protecting you!
