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.

1. How much can Leoben know about your character?
Leoben, you can take Edel's history and flip it upside down on him. The biggest keys of his history (and most important story-wise) is that his family is of a noble background and has ties to the magical society. Unfortunately, Edel's mother suffered a mental relapse and his father was killed in the process, so she's hospitalized in an institution while his Uncle (at times) has custody of Edel. Edel is terrified of his uncle, who has some sort of ridiculous jealousy streak against him and later reveals himself to still be deeply in love with his sister( Edel's mother. )

Also tl;dr Edel has a very close friend who he likes just a little bit too much. (and no it's not Alex okay!!! He is second-papa!! Lawrence is always no. 1.)

2. What are some things that Leoben can tell right off the bat? Anything that you want to remain hidden?
Although Edel doesn't know this himself, he has the ability to control chimera due to his lineage. He still has the possibility of becoming one himself, but he also isn't harmed by most of them. Other than that, you can pretty much tell anything of Edel if you want me to divulge more. he had a breakdown at thirteen, is a bit of a hermit, but he's really well meaning- just horribly socially awkward.

3. Is your character some kind of chosen one and is it alright if Leoben picks up on that?
I... I don't really think Edel is anything of a chosen one, but he's deliciously tasty in terms of magic!

4. Is it okay for Leoben to predict your character's future through the patterns?
You certainly can! Edel will most likely become a master scholar at the School of Alchemy and uh, probably be married to the Prime Minister of St. Helena later in the distant future.

Honestly, the most important factor is whether or not Edel will live beyond his chapter in the story. (which, at this point, seems more likely than not. But it's not always like that.)

5. Going with that, would you be interested in a full-out vision at some point?

I... don't think Edel can handle the truth!!! Haha.
