[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: Antryg Windrose dogwizard

IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?: No
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?: Intense levels of self-awareness and emotional regulation can stand out as unusual in certain contexts

ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?: He'd politely ask her not to bring up emotions/thoughts unless already checked in whether that's OK

CAN SHE BE CALLED?: Sure

ANYTHING ELSE?: Antryg is ready to take this in good faith!

CHARACTER NAME & USERNAME: Fitz Kreiner everythinglost

IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?: No
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?: He's half super-intelligent multi-dimensional spaceship on his mother's side. Very good at interfacing with computers.

ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?: No
ANYTHING SHE SHOULD BRING UP?: No

CAN SHE BE CALLED?: Sure thing

ANYTHING ELSE?: Fitz is pretty chill with mind reading, to be honest. Perhaps too chill? Much for him to not ponder.

CHARACTER NAME & USERNAME: Armand howheendures

IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?: He's pretty good at putting his mind on lock down! I wouldn't say unreadable but a little on the blank side when just on the surface (much like reading his emotions by expression, really)
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?: Lot going on there. What specifically can change with the moment.

ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?: Anything below the surface and really even on the surface is likely to get twitchy unless he's actively sent it
ANYTHING SHE SHOULD BRING UP?: It depends on how much wants to deal with Armand being super not OK with it!
CAN SHE BE CALLED?: Yeah

ANYTHING ELSE?: He's very used to telepathy, this does not mean he's chill about it.

CHARACTER NAME & USERNAME: Nokov thereisnoif

IS MY CHARACTER UNREADABLE?: I'm going to say that as a Divine himself it's difficult unless he's actively broadcasting stuff
IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER'S MIND OR EMOTIONS?: he is the night

ANYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T BRING UP?: Context dependent because of all that
ANYTHING SHE SHOULD BRING UP?: Same as above

CAN SHE BE CALLED?: Yeah, but he guess knows that will happen if he uses it.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Nokov feels it's kind of like having one of his siblings here. Unfortunately.
