[adamantea]

Adamantea is an ascendant archmage of Mind, meaning she is part of the underlying mechanics of reality that govern minds, consciousness, feelings, thoughts, dreams, etc. Reading thoughts and feelings isn't her working magic, really, just her performing an action.

Which translates to: she is an apex telepath / omnipath with virtually unlimited power, as well as an equally capable empath.

By default she is actively self- and Admiral-limited while a Barge passenger & passively reads primarily surface thoughts & feelings: whatever a character is experiencing in the moment and potentially some longer-term contextual thoughts the current context has primed for. For the sake of RP, without an OOC check-in she will only actively reference or utilize information she has gathered in threads with her current thread partner.

Active uses of magic -- i.e. temporary emotion-dampening, instant-calm, feelings-editing, memory-editing, etc. -- will always have OOC check-in. This is primarily information she might gleam passively; she is actively trying not to push and look at things people don't necessarily want to share with her. (It'd be unethical, and if she does it people won't want to willingly share things with her! That's bad.)

This doesn't mean she always succeeds, because it's like breathing for her to Know You, but in general she won't actively intervene even if someone is an active danger to themself or others as long as it's on the Barge. (If real and permanent death is definitely 100% on the table... that's another story.)

CHARACTER NAME & USERNAME: Madelyne Pryor queenofechoes

IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?: Difficult to read her thoughts, because she has very robust shields in place, but certainly not impossible! Emotions are fair game unless she's actively trying to suppress them.
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?: OKAY
1. This is not a human psyche. This is a shard of a cosmic force of fire and rebirth shaped by the stolen and altered memories of another woman. She's far younger, far older, and exactly as old as she looks.
2. She's also a telepath, with tons of raw power but secondhand/self taught training.
3. Her mind is definitely - scarred, in a way, by demonic invasion and influence, and there's always a possibility that it could get worse.
4. Relatedly: she's fundamentally connected to a profoundly magical but spiritually corruptive pocket dimension. There's space in her mind for this that is not being used.
5. Might be able to sense the nature/shape of her Scythe, even if she hasn't summoned it?

ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?: Nope!
ANYTHING SHE SHOULD BRING UP?: Going WTF at any of that is always welcome

CAN SHE BE CALLED?: Sure!

ANYTHING ELSE?: Not so far!
