Beholding Avatar Permissions

[fingeronthebutton]

As an Avatar of the Entity known as the Beholding, Elias has been gifted with some unique abilities. These include being able to just know things about certain people, manipulate memories, bind people to him, and even twist digital reality to his needs. For that reason, please fill out the following as thoroughly as possible so I can be aware of what I can and cannot do with your character. Some of this may never come up but obviously if it does I'd love for us to be on the same page!


1. What information can Elias simply know about your character if he concentrates on them? Secrets they don't want exposed, people they want to protect, memories they want to forget, crimes they haven't been caught for...things like that.

2. Will Elias be allowed to implant memories into your character's mind? These memories will always be true and can be good or bad. But once he gives them to your character he can never remove them. (Example: He knows character A's friend was tortured but A does not. He then gives A memories of character B being tortured and how it felt and so on.)

3. Is he permitted at any point to create a contract of sorts to bind your character to him? Please note that this means he may not tell your character that this has taken place and that if he comes to harm so will your character. This will also be a separate contract from the ones used in Duplicity.

1. EVERYTHING! tl;dr Erik manifested an ability to sense "evil" (see his permissions) sometime in college. Came home to sense it on his father, found out his father had been abusing his sister, turned him into the police. Mother committed suicide after and his sister blamed him.

He's still very protective of his sister, if distant. Moved to New York to keep an eye on her even if the large city is terrible for his well being. Took to gambling and supporting his habits by blackmail. He'd follow targets that felt especially dark to him and send them notes.

One of this targets turns out to be a serial killer, who tries to kill him, and with the help of Jessica Jones and Trish Walker catches him. However, he refuses to testify against the man because he'd also get sent to jail (a nexus of darkness that would potentially kill him). As a result, the killer escapes justice and kills someone close to Trish. When Trish blames him, he tries to make amends by finding other targets to punish, but Trish accidentally kills them. Regretting his actions, he helps Jessica find Trish.

2. With prior plotting, potentially yes.

3. Also plotting dependent, but if Elias hurts him to be around he's very unlikely to trust anything he says. Willing to discuss, however.
