This will be a loooong post.
Personal Permissions:
For the most part I would definitely prefer it that a character can't automatically know Charles is telepathic. That's a given. There are, of course, exceptions:
If your character is from the same world, and knows him (example: Emma Frost) in some form of well-known Marvel-verse then obviously they will know. You don't need my permission for this one cause that's just redundant. XD
Of course if they haven't heard of him, then they won't know.
If your character is from a world that would reasonably know Marvel canon (modern time universe with comics, even if Marvel isn't shown), then feel free to ask me if you want to fourth wall, and why. We may be able to work something out.
If your character has some kind of power that can sense other powers, or see them, or what have you: then tell me below and again, we can work something out.
ETC.
I'm pretty easy going, but please make sure to let me know before you make any action towards Charles because if your character says something or does something and I don't know why you do that I'll probably cry. :<

A summary of his abilities: Charles is a telepath of considerable power. He can learn most everything about a person in no time at all and even without trying he can learn quite a bit from just an initial brush with someone’s mind. He has the ability to draw up old buried memories in people. He can influence what people see or don’t see, able to make himself (and others) invisible to the eye, and even temporarily ride people and borrow their senses. He’s also able to speak with others in their heads, holding entire conversations even over large distances. At his most powerful he can compel people to do what he wants them to, or freeze them in place, or even completely wipe out memories. His power does not work on animals. While his power has incredible range and has few limits, there are ways to block his ability. Certain materials can deflect telepathy, like diamond and mirrors, though even a single crack is enough to get through those.
He’s not in complete control of his ability though. He will often hear particularly loud surface thoughts even without him reaching out for them. Heavy, violent emotions can hit him without warning if they’re within his range. He sees memories in HD as if it were him that was feeling it, much like when he rides someone. He is unable to block certain senses and still do what he intends with a mind.
He has some physical ability with martial arts as well, and is pretty fit for someone who looks like they spend all their time with their nose in a book. He’s deceptively active, and incredibly intelligent.

First thing I would like to say that I will always ask before Charles does anything beyond his generic 'oh hay there's a person there' field, just to be sure that something is okay. I know that he often has a tendency to just dance through people's brains but I'm not so much of an oblivious dick like that. XD
Handy form time!
Character:
First Impression: ((What Charles can gather about them at first contact))
Projecting: ((Charles can hear surface thoughts even if not intentionally projected or listened to, but I am willing to push that aside at mun choice, so please let me know whether or not you are comfortable with this and if there are any exceptions. I'll try to ask on a case by case basis for big posts and things but it's good to know for general threads and things too so we don't have to have a huge OOC conversation every time we thread. This also goes for heavy emotions.))
Projecting 2.0: ((Should the situation come up can he project things onto this character?))
Reading: ((This is another habit of Charles that I'm going to hold off at mun choice. When he's unfamiliar with someone he may want to dip into their minds without asking their permission to either learn more about them or find out more about what they're talking about. He often needs to be directly asked not to go into someone's mind in order to stay out. If you're not comfortable with this, tell me here and it won't happen. If you're fine, then obviously I will ask on a case by case basis what you want him to see.))
Riding: ((Is Charles able, if the case may call for it, ride your character to see what they see and hear what they hear?))
Defenses: ((If your character has a way to block telepathy via a power, or an object, or just a really really strong mind, let me know. I may ask you to elaborate))
Other: ((This is for if there's anything you can think of that I missed. Don't be afraid to ask questions either. I tried to cover all my bases because Charles, when unchecked, is a very powerful character, and even his morals aren't perfect. Especially in First Class. So don't hesitate if you have something to say.))
Handy textblock of the above for convenient commenting!
