Updated Permissions Post
New Permissions Post - Power Update
The Shadow's telepathy has been updated. He now has a standard compliment of telepathy, with the limitation that he has to turn it on, and expend energy in order to use the ability. He is limited to conversation range for the use of this ability, so he does have to be fairly close to someone in order to make an attempt to read their mind. It will not work over the network.
For Other Telepaths
The Shadow has been practiced in ways to close his mind, however, there are leaks of emotion, most notably a sense of restlessness, the desire for action or a challenge is the default. Anything else I'll add to my posts.
Edits and Clarifications
1) The issue of forced mind-reading has been addressed in past questions. Plotting must occur before this will happen. The Shadow only forces suspects into a telepathic link. He is very mindful of who and when he does this. Characters in need or who may have important information, yet are not criminals, will also be asked or warned IC before he does any telepathic work, after the proper plotting discussion.
2) The Shadow will not walk by your character and think: "Hmm, I'm bored, I wonder what that person is thinking right now." However, if your character is highly emotionally driven/strung, he will be more sensitive to the emotions being given off, and is likely to distance himself.
3) Language barriers are taken into account in memories with important words and sounds. If The Shadow does not speak the native language of a character's mind, he will likely find it difficult to understanding everything without the character translating for him.
My promise
I will message you for plotting permissions before making any sort of log or reply where The Shadow may use his ability.
Let me know what I can do with your character if he finds reason to interrogate them...or help them.
The 'Form'
Character:
Can they block his power? (Please explain how, if they can)
What can he see? What does he have access to?(emotions, memories, thoughts, etc)
Anything else?
