Patterns and Visions Permissions Post
One of the unique aspects of Leoben in Battlestar Galactica, is that he has the ability to see "patterns". In simpler terms, he has the ability to see the future, in one of two ways.
The first is through the patterns, which appears to work as, if you were having a conversation with him, he'd know what you were going to say before you say it. ( Read more... )

I'd say anything that happens during the course of the video game is fair game - after he becomes "Asch". Though he is certainly extremely guarded about certain topics, specifically his replica/replication and also the time he spent on the S.S. Thor (Mostly Harmless). He wouldn't be too thrilled about either of those things being brought up, but since we may be getting a Luke, I'm sure the replica thing *will* become an issue.
2. What are some things that Leoben can tell right off the bat? Anything that you want to remain hidden?
Asch does have some special abilities. Essentially he's a "magic swordsman" - a knight, if you will, who was raised as a noble. He also has a unique ability in his world (hyperresonance) that only he (and Luke) can perform on their own. It's a glowy power that can break down and reform matter at the atomic level, though it can also neutralize/disperse stuff in the air, but since the air here isn't made of fonons, I'm not sure how effective the latter would be.
3. Is your character some kind of chosen one and is it alright if Leoben picks up on that?
Asch was (originally). A prophecy on his world foretold that Asch (born Luke) would lead his kingdom to "unprecedented prosperity" by using "a forbidden power". Though Asch strays from this destiny, he aids Luke and the others in saving the world and freeing a higher sentient being. He tends to resist fulfilling/following the prophecy itself, but all-in-all he has the good of humanity in mind.
4. Is it okay for Leoben to predict your character's future through the patterns?
Sure, though I'm not certain what that would be at the moment.
5. Going with that, would you be interested in a full-out vision at some point?
If it comes up, sure, I'd be up for it.
