Eric is a Witch, as such he has certain senses and abilities that differ from your run of the mill human. Coupled with his own worldsetting and he is very openly supernatural. Between his Empathy, thanks to his capacity for the Spirit element and his own Psychic 'sensing' ability, Eric is able to determine whether or not a character is simply human or something else. Usually this is on a first-contact basis but if no physical contact is made it'll take him a while in the person's presence to ascertain this kind of information- he won't be able to tell everything outright, for example Alien species will ping him as 'not human' but also he won't be able to claim "Oh yes, you're a wookie."

He also has a talent for Empathy, being able to sense people's emotions- he can't, however, manipulate anyone else's emotions unless he's feeling his own ones intensely in a magically charged situation- for example if he's feeling particularly upset while working magic, his emotions could 'leak' outwards and affect others.

I want to make sure I'm not stepping on any toes IC/OOC with Eric's abilities and as such have included a short text-box below for anyone willing to fill it out.





Clearly Eric doesn't have any issue with anyone else finding out he's a Witch so feel free to point out his own supernatural nature if your character would be able to!

Thanks!


Eric's own permissions

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Completely fine, however he'll be a little weirded out if he doesn't know your character. He isn't exactly the world's most affectionate of people.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Eric does not jump straight into violence, but he doesn't shy away from it either. If your character decides to engage in an altercation with him he can and will use his powers against you. He prefers magic to physical attacks and will more often move to incapacitate rather than use more forceful gestures.

RELATIONSHIPS: Eric has been described as cold and calculating in the past. He needs to warm up to people and it can be a slow process. He will be on a mostly acquaintance level basis with people to begin with and they can prove their worth to him. He does warm up eventually though and can be quite affectionate and protective of his friends/significant others.

MENTAL INFORMATION: Eric is a Witch with the certain powers that would lead to him having a strong mental control and will. He cannot stop all telepathy used against him, but he will notice it quickly and start to guard himself against it- after all witches have strong minds. He's not telepathic himself, however.

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Eric is a Witch, he can be injured the same as any human. He does know healing magic yes, and also potions. But the use of either is a long and arduous process- healing magic in particular can be difficult to use on oneself. As such he'd much rather avoid damage.

Can Eric / Are you okay with Eric sensing your character's emotions? Yes, but Wanda will know what he's doing and may try to close herself off from him depending on the situation.
Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? Yes.

It would help me a lot if you could fill out Wanda's permissions post here so I can get a better idea of how their abilities will interact.

What is your characters species? Dragon. Eric hopefully does not need his abilities to deduce this.
Can Eric / Are you okay with Eric sensing your character's emotions? Sure thing, since Starflight isn't that great at hiding his emotions to begin with.
Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? Why not. Starflight would be apprehensive about it because...no one asks him how he's feeling....ever...

What is your characters species? Medabot (robot). Eric would probably be able to sense that Metabee has a living soul/spirit but it would be bit a weak since the medal containing his original being is pretty ancient.
Can Eric / Are you okay with Eric sensing your character's emotions? Maybe on occasion since he isn't 100% artificial, but he is still mostly a machine with a machine mind. Metabee's pretty open about his feelings anyway so I'm not sure it would make a huge difference. If you want to do something specific just shoot me a message and we can discuss.
Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? Yep

Can Eric / Are you okay with Eric sensing your character's emotions? Yes and no. He doesn't have emotions, so there wouldn't be any to sense. He's good at faking them though.
Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? That'd be funny, actually. They could talk about why there's nothing there.

What is your characters species? Clawdite (a genetically-engineered alien race of reptilian shapeshifters). However, as a shapeshifter, Zam can take on the forms of many different species, her favorite being that of a human. Eric will probably be able to sense she's non-human anyways.

He has a hydraulic fuel cell in his chest that has to be charged every couple of years, so Eric could definitely pick up on that.

I think it's tricky with souls and spirit, because they kept saying how the David 8 model was programmed to show certain emotions, etc. and they'll do exactly as they're told, but David didn't. He was supposed to keep humans safe but he was the reason a lot of them died. Literally put them in harms way to satiate his curiosity. I think it would be interesting if Eric pointed that out somehow. That maybe he got a little bit of how David is curious or something.

Even if the whole 'androids don't have souls' thing is up for debate. I have feelings about this. I'm sorry.

Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? Yes. Fiona is a con artist, and considers herself very good at reading people. If Eric pulls his emotion sensing on her, then at first she'll think he's creepy good at the same thing. If she finds out about his actual skill background she'll probably just edit that verdict to plain creepy.

What is your characters species? Indogene
Can Eric / Are you okay with Eric sensing your character's emotions? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Indogenes are canonically able to partition away emotions for a given situation. So in situations where she's under pressure he might not get anything out of her. When she's off-guard or in immediate physical danger, she'll be much more open.
Are you okay with Eric discussing your character's emotional state with them? I'm okay with it, but again she might not be.
