Warnings, Permissions, HMD & Opt-In/Out

↬ CONTENT WARNINGS

Victor is from V.E.Schwab's Villains book series which contains several dark themes including, but not limited to (hover on footnote numbers for some specific notes):

self-harm, manipulation, death, resurrection, religious extremism, childhood abuse, substance abuse/overuse, suicidal themes, physical and psychological torture, animal injury/death¹, and sexual assault via mind/will-control², medical experimentation, imprisonment, etc.

↬ VICTOR'S ABILITIES

As an ExtraOrdinary (EO), Victor can control pain, both his own and in others.

While he can induce pain out of nothing, it is more effective when he is tapping into some pre-existing pain or wound that has been inflicted and can both increase pain and entirely erase it.

In extreme cases, Victor can use this ability with lethal consequences.

In addition, Victor learns to use his abilities to control nerves and develops his abilities in such a way that he can stop people from moving or control their bodies like they’re a puppet.

Since these are some pretty hefty controlling powers, I’m down to let Victor's abilities be as effective, or not, for any given player, character, scene, or plot as needed; I'm not here to "win" at RP and I only really want to play these themes of control with express consent from other players.

↬ DEAD/"DEAD" CHARACTERS

Victor's abilities, along with his uncanny knowledge and adeptness around human bodies and biology, mean that he can tell if someone's body temperature is unusually high or low, if their pulse is too quick, too fast, or if it's not there at all.

If your character is something like a vampire, (technically) dead, or would generally feel different to a regular human on a nervous system level, it's possible for Victor to pick up on this if you would like.

If you would like to opt in/out of this, please see below.

↬ OPT-IN

In canon, Victor uses his ability very liberally, it has some very disruptive potential in a RP setting.

I will always check in with other players before having Victor use his powers at the higher levels and will find some excuse to make sure they don't work if you'd prefer to avoid/stall/plot around Victor's stupidly OP X-men knock-off bollocks.

On the flip side, if you would like Victor to liberally inflict/take away pain or control your character, please let me know!

I've got some general permissions in the text box below to fill out if you'd like, but do feel free to hit me up any ol' time to chat details and specifics!
