[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:
Maggie Garcia | talesuntold
IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?:
Nope.
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?:
Maggie is in general fairly friendly and relaxed and emotionally regulated. Stubborn as hell, cares a lot. She has a deep well of spite for anyone who hurts her people that she keeps strictly under wraps. Emotions somewhat heightened from a typical baseline human level.
ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?:
No, anything's fair game.
ANYTHING SHE SHOULD BRING UP?:
Next time Maggie's locking down her negative emotions, could be helpful to have someone nudge her.
CAN SHE BE CALLED?:
Yes!
ANYTHING ELSE?:
Maggie would honestly take being read better if there's reciprocity. It makes her uncomfortable to have people reading her thoughts and feelings without sharing any of their own. She's used to controlling how deeply people get to know her.
