CHARACTER NAME: Rei Hino
CHARACTER SERIES: Sailor Moon

[OOC]


Backtagging: Absolutely
Threadhopping: Sure, but a heads up is nice
Fourthwalling: For Sailor Mars? Yes. For Rei Hino, no. The Senshi exist as a media sensation in canon, but there are reasons I will elaborate on later why no to Rei.
Offensive subjects (elaborate):
Not that I can think of, I have pretty thick skin

[IC]

Hugging this character: Sure, expect awkward
Kissing this character: Sure, expect a slapping without the right buildup
Flirting with this character: Absolutely, though...reactions may vary
Relationships with this character: With buildup, talk to me.
Fighting with this character: Certainly, but we should talk. I'm not fond of player fights without talking.
Injuring this character: Talk to me.
Killing this character: Talk to me
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Talk to me about this. Rei is good at blocking telepathy and is resistant to most forms of mental tampering.

Powers:

Sailor Mars: In canon, when Rei transforms into Sailor Mars, not even her own grandfather recognizes her. It's hinted that there is some sort of powerful protection on all of the Sailor Senshi that keeps their identities secret (They don't always seem to recognize one another either), so when Rei transforms please be mindful that your character should not be able to tell it's Rei. Characters who have ways of sensing life-signs (like a Jedi Knight) or other weird powers like that please talk to me. Basically, if you feel your character should be able to tell, then we should talk.

Psychic/Spiritual Abilities: Rei has a wide variety of spiritual and psychic powers unrelated to being a sailor suited heroine. These include ESP and a Psychic Empathy, the ability to read visions in flames, the ability to sense evil, and the ability to use o-fuda scrolls to bind evil spirits. She's also capable of exorcisms, sensing possession, and of channeling nearby spirits to do her bidding (Which generally means going away). Rei's spiritual powers are amplified massively by being transformed into Sailor Mars, as well, so keep that in mind. In this instance, the powers are more or less divine in origin.

Basically, this is where you'd tell me about what you are and are not okay with. Is your character tainted and evil? Is your character possessed by the spirit of a long dead pharoah? Are you okay with Rei picking up on your characters emotional state? This means surface emotions like anger or fear, etc, not actual mindreading. (I sense much fear in you, Padawan kinda thing). Or heck, are you a GHOST? Do you want to work with a magical girl ghostbuster? Tell me here!

Fortune Telling and Visions: Rei is a fortune teller in canon. This means she may offer to read your character's fortune. There are a lot of ways to do this, and we can talk them out if your character agrees, but if you do? Then she should be able to tell them a fairly accurate prediction about their future. Whether that's at home or in Breakfast Time is up to you, but if you'd like to do something with that, let me know!

I am okay with Rei picking up on Trucy and AndrAIa's emotional states! As a side note, Trucy can tell lies from body language in bullshit lawyer magic, so lemme know if that's okay as well. I don't think Rei will get anything that interesting from either of them since they're pretty upbeat in general on both counts.............she will see them being happy and they will legitimately be happy, EXCITE

[faithfulflame]

So noted! And I'm perfectly fine with bullshit lawyer magic, Rei isn't a great liar to begin with.

[codere]

Pretty much free game with Rin here.

I think noticeable things are she's magical in a sense, though she doesn't make use of her magical power yet. She holds herself like a soldier (which I think Rei will be able to pick up on naturally as a combatant herself) and has two magical familiars bound to her (Archer (swordboning & invisibleair)!

Rin's emotional state fluctuates a lot. I generally write how she's really feeling in a tag while she expresses otherwise so feel free to pick up on that. If you need more, just poke me.

[faithfulflame]

So noted! I'll give you a poke if I need something. Though, with the familiars bit, it'd probably be best if you could direct them towards this too.

i spy a YGO reference

[ridethathippo]

Sooooooooo, recent episodes have dictated that Yuya has some deep dark, terrifying evilness in his soul. I'm totally up for Rei to pick up on it, but it's only distinct if he's REALLY upset. If he's not in a shitty situation, she might only be able to pick up faint hints of darkness. However, canon only JUST revealed this, and so far it only seems to actually possess Yuya when Yuto's soul is triggered inside him. If he does get possessed, he'll likely need someone to suppress the darkness.

Also feel free for her to read all the emotions!

As for fortune telling, Yuya's had his fortune told before and the result was him getting an upright Tower tarot card, which meant something along the lines of tragedy befalling him. So feel free to give him all the horrible fortunes~ AND if you want to have her see future visions about him, I'm up for her witnessing him getting his evil smiles on, DARKNESS ROAR, and/or later having to be held down cuz he needs an exorcist

You do!

[faithfulflame]

I'll definitely keep it in mind if Rei and Yuya meet up. And if he needs ghostbusting, well, I hope he enjoys having paper stuck to his forehead.

As for fortunes, good! I love bad fortunes. /rubs hands.

[aerialassault]

I'm down with Rei picking up on anything relevant that happens to come up in a thread regarding emotional states, although Cliff is the sort who isn't ruffled easily and tends to internalize it whenever he is deeply concerned about something. Most of the time she's not going to find anything too terribly interesting when interacting with Cliff, because he defaults to transparency unless the situation calls for something otherwise.

We can talk more later on the fortune telling bit if it happens to come up at a later point, although Cliff will be less reticent and cagey about Rei knowing a few details regarding his canon because of the basis that this particular game runs on.

[faithfulflame]

I'm sure we'll discuss all this as it comes up!

Written like this only because Ax knows Marco & canon

[fierybluebird]

Disguise: Marco's perception haki is more resistant than anything else, so while he might know there's something there, he won't be seeing through it anytime soon.

Evil Taint / Emotional State: Marco is a fluffy woobie moe moe bird of sparkles and fire. Except when he's not. Then he's pretty murderously fucked up. I don't know that Rei will ever see the dark spots, they're obviously THERE, but it's almost sort of externalized from the rest of him. Use your own discretion on what she senses/when. He probably also has newer bands of RED flames/not-darkness in a few places to represent Grell, and idefk what would represent Thatch's effect on Marco tbh. The shade of sunflowers?

Fortune Telling: Marco's in a rough place in canon (AND WE DO NOT KNOOOOOW), but he's been AU'ed to adjusting to that, and is pretty much way more chill now overall. So only good things plz ;) Sailing/laughing with his brothers, and favorable outcomes with recovering the rest of his family.

[faithfulflame]

Alright~! Thanks CC

[sjokolade]

I'm okay with Rei picking up Anna's emotional state! Anna's an open book anyway ppffff

[faithfulflame]

Okay! Noted!

[redcinemareel]

If Grell knows Rei face and name, she can appear to her at any time, pending if Grell has been to the place Rei is at. But what if she's Sailor Mars? Would Grell not recognize her? It's just something that came to mind, and would be nice to explore! It may not even happen in game, but who knows.

She's free to sense A LOT of death surrounding Grell, to the point that she might as well be death. I guess she would sense that she was a reaper if she can put two and two together.

Man, it would be hilarious if Rei could predict just the next day for Grell. She's pretty much caught up in canon, so let's make a believer out of Grell!

[faithfulflame]

I would have to think about that...

And I think we can work with the other bits too

[scaryintuition]

Hide is a super emotional/expressive guy anyways. So feel free to have Rei pick upon his emotional state(s).

[faithfulflame]

Noted ! Thanks!

[punches]

Pretty much free game with Sakura here as well.

Especially since she has a canon future laughs. I'm not sure if chakra has ever come up before in Luceti or whatever, if you have an idea of how you'd like that to play out I'm open to it.

[faithfulflame]

It did not. But I play Anko. I'm Naruto familiar ;)

I've always treated chakra, ki, chi, etc as a mystical energy. It's just an easy transparent way to deal with a commonly used idea in fiction.

I forget though. Can Sakura specifically read chakra in other people?

[remainingtwin]

I'm down with Rei picking up on anything with Mio (or Oona [ mermaiding])! Mio's also got spiritual power herself and a strong sixth sense!

But mostly her emotional state is going to be swinging between traumatized and very guilty since she just hung around a haunted village for a while. She was passively possessed by a spirit during that time, but completing a ritual in the village laid it to rest; there might still be something linger there though!

ETA: the ritual supposedly involved the twins' souls "becoming one" so that might be something Rei can pick up on as well!

[faithfulflame]

Oh goodness, she sounds like such a tragic character T.T

Rei will understandably be a little concerned for her, probably. But interested in interacting for sure!

[buildyourworld]

I'm not sure if he'll be considered evil but hey, he was a Gundam pilot who obliterated ships and tanks and mechas on a pretty consistent basis for years (probably has the highest dead score among the pilots), so I suppose that would ping something? He's not evil by nature, just someone who will do anything to ensure humanity's survival and Celestial Being's goal.

Empathy thing is cool! Although he's usually linefacing everything that doesn't anger or outright perplexed him. He's pretty much either extremely stoic or very explosive in his emotional range but he's slowing working on them. But yeah, totally okay with her reading his emotion.

Fortune telling: Fortune telling he doesn't care for. He's a sentient supercomputer, so predictions or rather probability works in a very code-ish/Mathematial-ish manner to him so he's not going take a baseless fortune telling seriously.

[guidetoblivion]

Shun (raidraptors) is an ordinary kid with no possession/ghost shenanigans whatsoever, feel free to pick up all the things from him. Even if they are mostly related to his interdimensional wartimes trauma. orz

Riku is more complicated – he has an unwelcome houseguest who is adding to the Darkness in his heart and maybe would register as a taint. At this point, Riku is the one in control and is able to use that Darkness as a power boost, but he risks getting trapped in Ansem's appearance if he abuses it. Idek, maybe we can plot something with that sometimes?

[unionjackoff]

i am okay with Rei picking up on England's emotions. he's fairly good at squashing hiding them, but he gets embarrassed easily. and angry. he gets angry very easily. but he is also lonely/depressed like 80% of the time.

[dishonorstudent]

I'm game for Rei picking up on anything regarding Ryuko, especially when it comes to her sentient sailor uniform Senketsu.

Senketsu himself has a personality and memories, but he can only communicate with Ryuko and just looks like a regular uniform to anybody else. If you want Rei to pick up on an extra life form third-wheeling their threads, feel free to do so! :3 I'm sure she'll be able to sense him, but she won't hear him speak.

Other things to note about Ryuko that she likes to keep secret; due to Evil Experiments/Tragic Past she was infused with alien DNA as a baby and is now technically not a human (or just half human). Her heart is literally shiny and indestructible as a result. Totally fine with Rei figuring that out, too!

Predicting her future is fine, too! Though, I admit, even I have trouble predicting what Ryuko's future in Cerealia holds, haha.

[gates_of_babylon]

Spiritual Stuff
Sensing that Gilgamesh is a spirit isn't at all out of the field. The thing is, it may seem incredibly weird to her if she feels his presence out, because heroic spirits are usually dense in spiritual energy. Canonically, it's said Gilgamesh is denser than other heroic spirits, because his presence would feel like hundreds of thousands of souls crammed into one person.

As for powers being used against him spiritually, he's more or less immune compared to other spirits due to a combination of magical resistance and sheer ego. Fortune-telling for him would constantly spell the best of luck, especially financially, and reading his emotional state would work just fine.

As for whether or not Gil would feel 'good' or 'evil', insanely enough--he'll radiate an incredibly pure aura, no matter what! Despite what a madman he is, he's actually aligned to be good(chaotic by RPG definitions)!

[2cool4guardian]

Totally ok with Rei sensing Jack's emotions! I can't promise he'll like it though (he'll have to deal with it). As for...

Or heck, are you a GHOST?

AHAHAHA... haha... ha... sob. Ok, here's the thing: Jack is the Spirit of Winter. He should "feel" like other magical creatures of nature, because that's what he is now. However, he used to be human and... well, died. So even if he technically isn't a ghost thanks to the Moon's magic, there's a bit of that going on. I don't think Rei would be able to tell OMG YOU'RE A DEAD PERSON'S SPIRIT right away, but I'm ok with her sensing he's a biit different from, for example, the regular fae or kodama.

[faithfulflame]

Well that's more what I'd mean with Spirit anyway. Her religion does radically differentiate between ghosts and spirits. And moon magic you say! I'd forgotten about that...

But yes that sounds good, makes total sense. I don't think she'd be able to tell he was a dead person, since the whole "spirit from another world" is enough for her to just think "Well it's different from MY spirits."

[zenryokuzenkai]

MIGHT AS WELL

Nanoha's ridiculously strong magically, but it's never really been portrayed as particularly spiritual in nature. The Nanoha-verse treats magic as just another source of magic, with a few rare exceptions (genetic memory passed through the generations and a few unique skills.)

Emotionally she's fairly straightforward, so Rei should have no trouble sensing hers. She does have a habit of clamming up and going full professional in times of crisis, that's about it, but again, Rei can sense that no problem. It's a poker-face, not a magical shield.

[unpreparer]

I'm totally cool with Rei picking up on anything regarding to Illidan in terms of power or his emotions- not that he really tries to hide how he's feeling, though he is capable of hiding his thoughts if he wants to. He usually only does this when he had a Bad Idea though. At this point he's not necessarily evil himself but his powers definitely are, and they are/have been int he process of corrupting him for a very long time. There's also the skull of Gul'dan which is a whole ball of evil on its own.

I'm not sure if he'd fall under the Jedi label, since his eyes are stupid and act weird, but he would likely be able to read a similarity in how she sees her "magic", but it would also likely be different enough that he wouldn't make a connection between them.

If it ever comes up she's free to see his future, though it's much like his past in the sense that "and then you were stupid and bad things happened to you, and you had no one to blame but yourself", that and he continues to deteriorate into full-blown deluded levels of crazy. There's also the new stuff that's coming out but all that's been gleaned form that is that he's Maiev's prison bitch again, because Maiev has a problem.

[zerotohiro]

I'm absolutely fine with Rei picking up on Hiro's emotional state and what-have-you even though he's a tiny idiot and will try to hide it. That's not a problem with me.

HOWEVER something occurred to me just now when I tagged into the event log; Hiro's not going to recognize Rei (though he might recognize her as a senshi just in the most vague sense since canon indicates the Hamadas have some basic interest in that kind of thing), but what about Baymax? Since Baymax is designed to scan everyone's vitals, would her entire make-up change when she transforms to Mars to give off a different reading do you think? (I mean it's not something that'll come up in their current stuff but for the future.) This is me. This is me not remembering how Sailor Moon actually works.

[faithfulflame]

Well, there are robots in canon that scan folks, and they can't seem to pick up on the Civilian/Senshi identity swap. So I'd say no, Baymax would probably get a different reading from Rei and Mars.

Though, on that note? Mars is significantly older if Baymax can detect that sort of thing. She's also not human. I'm not sure how Baymax would perceive that, but canon says the Senshi are Gods/Angels/Divine Beings...and that's a little hard to define. So, definitely not human, with a much older and hotter (Literally) body. I'm not 100% sure how his scanners work, but let me know if you need more info. and I'll fill in gaps

As for recognizing senshi? Absolutely! That makes perfect sense!

[cryptologic]

SO sensing Dipper's emotional state is pretty much fair game, especially since he's the kind of moron who will try to downplay them when he probably shouldn't. SO YEAH go crazy.

Also depending on how extensive Rei's abilities are, feel free to have her use her spirity powers to sense that Dipper was once possessed by a demon if that's a thing she can do. That's always a fun topic!

[faithfulflame]

So noted!

Thank you Bayley! She can pick up on that but that maaaay be something for later on since right now there are killer flies that set little boys on fire.

[definingfuture]

This is always yes. Tony has so much more going on emotionally than he usually shows other people, so I love chances to crack beneath his front and expose some of that. The trust build up method takes forever, so it's nice to get someone that can pick up on the emotions he's hiding. He's SHIELD protected from telepathy, but empathy is totally fair game since it's Tony.

[sortileges]

Hello, I'm here!

The first part re: Sailor Mars... I'd say he wouldn't 100% be able to tell but there'd just be something not right and he'd feel as though he had seen her before, if that's okay to start with? Not gonna lie, Merlin's a quick learner so over time he might pick up on more but for now it'd probably be more like ????

Re: Her other powers she can definitely pick up on his emotional state, outside of hiding that he's a sorcerer in series, he pretty much wears his emotions on his sleeve and is told he's the world's greatest liar tbh. There are some secrets he can keep, but we can talk that out. 9/10 it's okay!

Fortune telling is something he'd be really quite interested in though, as Morgana actually is a seer and has visions in her dreams, yet he doesn't so he'd want to learn as much as she could say if possible?

[faithfulflame]

okay!

With regards to #1, some sort of familiarity is alright, but in terms of figuring it out that's not really plausible (again, her own family and the other Sailors don't recognize them). But if he sees her transform, the whole illusion's broken, and that may very well happen with how dangerous Cerealia can be. (Basically I love when she transforms in front of people as a plot point because it's my jam!)

The other stuff? Absolutely understood. And as for the fortune telling, she'd be happy to share, even teach him some of the ways she does it too! Not all of it is unique to her, some of it's just Japanese folk magic.

[isolophobia]

...and somehow I totally missed filling this out when you were good enough to hit up my Permission form. I am the eternal headdesk.

Well we've done some threading already, but Rei can read Pitch's emotional state with time and practice. So saying she started trying when he first showed up in Cerealia, She'd probably be able to about nowish. But yeah I'd prefer you talked to me? Pitch's mind and his memories are like two bowls of cooked spaghetti tangled together. But believe it or not, he's a dad. He was also an excellent soldier, who loved his Tsar and stuff...not unlike Mars.

[moribound]

Possession: It's been gone for some time now, but Minato used to share his body and psyche with Death (An extremely powerful Shadow that serves as a messenger for The Fall, which will destroy humanity). Since this lasted for 10 years Rei should be able to pick up faint traces of a negative spiritual presence that doesn't quite fit in with Minato, if that makes sense!

Spiritual power: Being the bearer of the Universe Arcana Minato's soul is so strong that he can hold off the manifestation of humanity's grief and negative emotion. I don't know if she can actually sense this, but it's here just in case this sort of thing pings her!

Emotional state: Sure thing! That being said Minato's pretty guarded and his surface emotions tend to be faint as a result.

Fortune-telling and others: This is the only one I'd have to say no to, as it's canon that you can try to have his fortune read but said fortune-teller will see nothing. And again I don't know if she can sense this but Minato's more or less been dead for over a month as of his canon point.

[faithfulflame]

Thanks for hitting this.

I'm actually extremely canon familiar with Persona 3, so I understand the possession thing and it's something she'd be able to sense.

As for the Universe Arcana, probably not that directly, but he'd definitely have an aura from that. She's begun associating that particular aura with Persona users, so that's the connection she'll likely draw. An exceptional Persona user.

And nah, she can't tell if he's dead. Unless he had some traces of it, or dark magic holding him together...but that doesn't seem likely

[fadeling]

Just....going to take this in order:

Sailor Mars: I am fine with Cole not noticing for the most part, but he may be able to pick up on it? He can be blocked from sensing certain things in canon, so I'm good either way! Whatever you feel like plotting with!

Psychic/Spiritual Abilities: Since Cole is a spirit she might be able to detect that, but he isn't evil. I'd definitely be interested in playing around with this, though, since he has a huge fear of being bound, but he does have some protection from that.

Fortune Telling: Go for it!

[faithfulflame]

RE: Mars, Rei generally tells people or has it come up in threads when she's close to them, but canonically even uber-powerful godlike beings can't pick up on the identity. Though since he can sense weirdness and mojo and the like, he'll definitely get a sense that Rei has magic of some sort, even without Mars.

As for the rest, I'd love to! I love spiritual CR, and she'll never ever attempt to bind him unless he goes on a rampage or something...
