1) Dooku is telepathic. He is strong in the Dark Side of the Force, which allows him to intuit the thoughts and feelings of others to a certain extent, or even 'read' information from their minds. Please let me know here if it is okay to use these abilities on your character in threads, otherwise I will always ask before each use!

2) Dooku lies. A staggering proportion of the things that come out of Dooku's mouth are half-truths, 'true from a certain point of view,' false promises, the truth with crucial information omitted, and outright lies. If your character has an ability or talent in detecting falsity, please let me know here so we can plot how to incorporate it into threads with Count Dooku!

3) Dooku is racist. Or rather, Humanocentric. While he conceals it carefully, he secretly holds aliens in contempt and believes Humans (like himself) should be the leaders in the Galaxy. If this is uncomfortable for you and you would prefer not to be tagged by Dooku, please inform me on this post and I will respect your wishes.

4) No fourth-walling, please. Dooku is from an obscure little canon called Star Wars that many characters may recognize him from. While I'm happy to see characters talking between themselves about the Sith Lord in their midst, please do not directly tell Dooku he is from a widely-known pop culture phenomenon, or that your character knows details of his past/future.

5) Dooku chokes people. One of the classic Dark Side powers he wields is to telekinetically strangle people with a gesture- even over means of communication, like a Network. Generally speaking, if the Count can see your character, he can choke them. I will not have him use this ability on any character without prior discussion.

1. Marr is exceptionally skilled at hiding his thoughts and what little feelings he has left from other Force Users, though he will let some through sometimes.

2. He's also shown himself to be good at detecting falsehoods and knowing when people are omitting information, a necessary skill for surviving on the Dark Council, but he's not 100% lie/deception detector.

1. Sure! At least surface thoughts.
2. Lucien is fairly canny when dealing with people outside his family. He's a negotiator for an illegal cult, it's not a job where you last long without that skill. Noting preternatural, though.
3. This is fine. Lucien won't like it though: He's from a multi-species family, including two fraternal twin lizard people who think of him like a father.
4. Lucien has only just been introduced to the concept of Moving Pictures and has no idea what a Star Wars might be. All is safe.
5. Choke away, I'd be a hypocrite if I were to play a murder cultist and not be 100% down with this.

All's good.

[jadus]

whoops thought i'd filled this out before

1. Jadus keeps his thoughts and emotions under such heavy guard that the effect is unsettling to other Sith. Unless something significant happens to disrupt his mental shielding, he's inaccessible for telepathy.

2. Like Marr, he's survived as long as he has by having a decent track record on detecting lies. He's not foolproof, however.

yes dooku can be mean to this garbage man

[shotgunsolutions]

As long as Oswald is in physical contact with his umbrella, he cannot be directly effected by any else's superpowers. As he uses his umbrella as a cane, he is often unable to be effected. Should he not be in physical contact with it, I will make it clear in the post or tags and, powers are a total go.

1 + 2. Telepathy is a-okay! Quatre's the only one in GW who has even an inkling that he's psychic and never developed any real defenses against it. In game he got telepathic barriers 101 training but it's basically the equivalent of turning on some classical music before you start whispering your secrets. On the other hand! Quatre can also pick up other people's emotions (and thoughts in v emotional situations) so empathy feedback loops are possible. If Dooku's super obvious about whatever web of lies he's spinning, Quatre might pick it up through the empathy? Otherwise nah.

3. racism is bad, Dooku (but what else do you expect from an evil space villain)

4. Quatre has never heard of star war

5. choking people is bad, Dooku!!! Telepathic choking is also probably one of the things that can trigger Quatre's thought projection ability (basically: the equivalent of a toddler-level psychic appearing in Dooku's head to scream about how choking people is bad)

[choosetruth]

Totally cool with thought reading etc Georgia's got zero protections there. Though she probably can't be Jedi mind tricked since wow is she ever strong-minded.

Also! In game she's got lie detection powers! It certainly won't catch lies of omission, and half-truths might slide by, but the rest she'd likely catch.

All good and permission for anything goes with Peter.

A couple of things may interest Dooku about him. So Dooku may pick up that there's something off about or around Peter. More specifically there's a demonic spiritual energy partly merged with/semi-possessing him, which will only manifest at certain times. Most of the time he will look like a regular teenager. But it's something that Dooku may be able to manipulate in some way. Details can be worked out if it comes to that. The main thing he could exploit is while in the possessed state Peter has to tell the truth when questioned which could make him a good go-between if Dooku is gathering information that somebody else won't give up.

The other main thing of interest is a knowledge of secrets. Of course here he can only know what players have given permission for so if you want possessed!Peter (only happens occasionally) to know some of Dooku's secrets, I have a permission post up for that! Knowing this, Dooku may even want him to find out other people's secrets.

1. Sure, though Yato won't "feel" human in the intuit feeling when it comes to a lot. For reading minds, casual brush would get Dooku some static, but I'm open to plotty something more targeted that does work if the situation comes up >:)
2. No extrasensory lie detecting.
3. No problem.
4. Got it.
5. Go for it.

Sorry, hadn't realized that I'd only done Haen's before but not Yato's!
