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. The second is through a full-out vision, which usually correctly predicts future events. The first seems to be constant thing, whereas the second is more rare. Because of these patterns, Leoben tends to know a lot about people just from looking at them. He can't read your mind, but he can know your past, and possibly your future, basically.
Canonically, Leoben hasn't been wrong, but he has been known to interpret things incorrectly, either to suit his own agenda or just because. Please keep that in mind for any plottings.
To avoid any accidental god-modding or anything like that, please answer the following questions.
1. How much can Leoben know about your character?
In other words, how far back in your character's history can Leoben see? How far forward? Is there some traumatic event you don't want brought up or anything like that?
*Please note that how much your canon is touched upon in a conversation is dependent on how well I know the canon.
2. What are some things that Leoben can tell right off the bat? Anything that you want to remain hidden?
Is your character human or not? Do they have some special powers? Anything like that.
3. Is your character some kind of chosen one and is it alright if Leoben picks up on that?
Leoben tends to notice people with destinies. If spotted he will try to help you complete it. His methods aren't perfect however.
4. Is it okay for Leoben to predict your character's future through the patterns?
He might predict that your character will trip on something, or something along those lines.
5. Going with that, would you be interested in a full-out vision at some point?
We'd discuss and plot of course.
