Permissions Post~
Hey guys, thanks for visiting my Permissions Post!
For those who may not be familiar with the character, Robin possesses a Devil's Fruit ability called the Hana Hana no Mi. Essentially, a Devil's Fruit is the One Piece world's version of radioactive spiders or mutagen. The Hana Hana no Mi (or Flower Flower Fruit) allows Robin the ability to "sprout" parts of her body in different places like some flowers sprout additional stalks from the same base.
Here's where the potential for conflict begins. Robin often uses her ability directly on other people. Usually, she's simply being helpful/efficient. But that is also the basis of her fighting style. In an RP setting, this makes it difficult, since "godmodding" is acting in a way that doesn't allow the other character the opportunity to dodge or counter. In the past, I have delayed tagging until I've had a chance to contact the mun OOC (usually via AIM, sometimes via PM). Considering that my hours have shifted to early AM MST and most people are on in the late afternoons, though, this has proven to be somewhat unfeasible. Hence, the reason for a permissions post. I'm hoping it will streamline tagging, at least with those she interacts with often. Oh! And obviously any major harm or potential death or anything like that will still be discussed ooc because yeah. You just. Talk about those things first. This is more for like, idk. Punching and tickling and stuff.
Another little something I'd like to experiment with is spying. Robin's ability allows her to put eyes and ears in little nooks and crannies, so she often knows information that others think is private. She even spies on her own crew. It isn't always malicious. She's just curious. Or nosy. Take your pick on the slant you wanna take. In order to work this out in an RP and allow the muns to not be blindsided and consequently accuse me of blatant "ooc knowledge seeping ic", I thought I would try making an OOC comment in the post she's spying on, with a note letting those involved know that she sees/hears and therefore knows what's going on. Those involved can then either A- approve said ooc comment, or deny it. I know that sometimes people really do want their private conversations to be just that. Private. I will be respectful of denied spying. Just don't go deleting my notes, so I can keep track of what's been approved and denied. Er, example, since that seems like it's really unclear.
Let's say Zoro makes a post and er... he and Usopp get into a private discussion about their toenails. Robin's feeling particularly nosy that day, so I'd make a comment with a header stating "This comment isn't here" or something to that effect. In the comment, I'd put an ooc note saying something similar to the following:"ooc: Robin's totally got an eye sprouted over Zoro's shoulder, watching in amusement as his conversation with Usopp plays out. Is this alright with you?" Zoro's mun could then respond with "Yeah, sure." or "No, not cool this time." I'd respond once more, just so that Zoro's mun knows I got the message with a "Got it" or something to that effect. That's all. Assuming Zoro's mun said yes, when Robin goes and teases Zoro about his toenails later, even though Zoro freaks, the mun would know that it's possibly coming, and we can just have fun with it, rather than the mun going "wait, how does she know that? Is this OOC knowledge for her that she's using IC? Cuz grr, I don't like it when people do that."
Make sense? Ok.
Oh, and if you have another better idea of how to do that? I'm totally open to suggestions.
That's... probably a little tl;dr. Thanks for reading! I look forward to having a great time playing with everyone. Please fill out the little meme thing for me.

May my character use her ability on your character? Yes/no/provisions go here. If you still want me to ask every time, I'll do so.
May my character spy on your character? Yes/no/provisions go here. Same deal, I'll ask ooc before making a comment each time if you want.
