Hey guys, thanks for visiting my Permissions Post!
For those who may not be familiar with the character, Robin possesses a Devil's Fruit ability called the Hana Hana no Mi. Essentially, a Devil's Fruit is the One Piece world's version of radioactive spiders or mutagen. The Hana Hana no Mi (or Flower Flower Fruit) allows Robin the ability to "sprout" parts of her body in different places like some flowers sprout additional stalks from the same base.
Here's where the potential for conflict begins. Robin often uses her ability directly on other people. Usually, she's simply being helpful/efficient. But that is also the basis of her fighting style. In an RP setting, this makes it difficult, since "godmodding" is acting in a way that doesn't allow the other character the opportunity to dodge or counter. In the past, I have delayed tagging until I've had a chance to contact the mun OOC (usually via AIM, sometimes via PM). Considering that my hours have shifted to early AM MST and most people are on in the late afternoons, though, this has proven to be somewhat unfeasible. Hence, the reason for a permissions post. I'm hoping it will streamline tagging, at least with those she interacts with often. Oh! And obviously any major harm or potential death or anything like that will still be discussed ooc because yeah. You just. Talk about those things first. This is more for like, idk. Punching and tickling and stuff.
Another little something I'd like to experiment with is spying. Robin's ability allows her to put eyes and ears in little nooks and crannies, so she often knows information that others think is private. She even spies on her own crew. It isn't always malicious. She's just curious. Or nosy. Take your pick on the slant you wanna take. In order to work this out in an RP and allow the muns to not be blindsided and consequently accuse me of blatant "ooc knowledge seeping ic", I thought I would try making an OOC comment in the post she's spying on, with a note letting those involved know that she sees/hears and therefore knows what's going on. Those involved can then either A- approve said ooc comment, or deny it. I know that sometimes people really do want their private conversations to be just that. Private. I will be respectful of denied spying. Just don't go deleting my notes, so I can keep track of what's been approved and denied. Er, example, since that seems like it's really unclear.
Let's say Zoro makes a post and er... he and Usopp get into a private discussion about their toenails. Robin's feeling particularly nosy that day, so I'd make a comment with a header stating "This comment isn't here" or something to that effect. In the comment, I'd put an ooc note saying something similar to the following:"ooc: Robin's totally got an eye sprouted over Zoro's shoulder, watching in amusement as his conversation with Usopp plays out. Is this alright with you?" Zoro's mun could then respond with "Yeah, sure." or "No, not cool this time." I'd respond once more, just so that Zoro's mun knows I got the message with a "Got it" or something to that effect. That's all. Assuming Zoro's mun said yes, when Robin goes and teases Zoro about his toenails later, even though Zoro freaks, the mun would know that it's possibly coming, and we can just have fun with it, rather than the mun going "wait, how does she know that? Is this OOC knowledge for her that she's using IC? Cuz grr, I don't like it when people do that."
Make sense? Ok.
Oh, and if you have another better idea of how to do that? I'm totally open to suggestions.
That's... probably a little tl;dr. Thanks for reading! I look forward to having a great time playing with everyone. Please fill out the little meme thing for me.

Character: Vash | goldenglasses
May my character use her ability on your character? Go for it! I'm open for pretty much anything!
May my character spy on your character? Sure thing! I really like the system you have up for the spying to make sure you're not being OOC and such! Although if the eye is where Vash's sharp sense can see it - don't be surprise if he shuts up.
Other questions/concerns? Can Vash poke the eyes that suddenly appear in his wall? 8D

Silly boy likes to keep an eye on his surroundings. Something about being use to being shot at, at any given moment back home.

Date: 2010-11-14 05:49 pm (UTC)From:Mm. And sometimes she'll be more sneaky than others, too. I'm all for letting Robin fail as often as she wins. But at least now you know it's coming! ^_^

May my character use her ability on your character? Yep.
May my character spy on your character? Make an OOC comment if you want to and I'll let you know - that works out well.
Other questions/concerns? Giles' first reaction if he notices Robin using her abilities will be to try and get them away, but from what I've seen of Nico she's quick enough that this shouldn't be a problem.

May my character use her ability on your character? Sure, she can go ahead and use her ability on them both! o/ Though obviously Luffy probably won't be affected.
May my character spy on your character? Go for it! Though it would be much harder to spy on Shino. He keeps his conversations pretty hush hush. That being said he probably won't expect eats and eyes ro spawn on his walls, so he may slip up and she hears him or something.
Other questions/concerns? Well if Shino ever finds out about her ability he might start spying on HER! Uh oooooh!

May my character spy on your character? Yup! Just please make an OOC comment before doing anything.
Other questions/concerns? Not really, but the eyes might freak Frederic out at first if he sees them. However, I doubt that will happen since he doesn't have the quickest of reflexes.

watch out for Alfred's old-guy bones, they're probably brittle or something idek XDMay my character spy on your character? Yep. The OOC note system is a really good design, btw.

Character: Trafalgar Law |
May my character use her ability on your character? Yes. Heck it will probably be canon at some point.
May my character spy on your character? Yes. I definately think that will become canon at some point so yeah. There's just a good chance he'll notice you or feel he's being watched however.
Other questions/concerns? First, could you check out my permissions?
The rumours are the big concern here, given canon gives us nothing, and my watchword for him is ambigious - as again, we don't quite know what's up with him (waiting for when he shows up at Marineford in the anime for a better idea). And, we know the World Government and the Marines can be rotten lying scumbags, so information from them could be... iffy. But then again, pirate.
So... anything particularly nasty, run it by me? There are a few things I will outright say he hasn't done until canon proves me wrong. He has not touched children, he and his crew don't rape, he does not use his crew for experimentation (they rather love him), and they actually don't cause massive civilian casualities when they battle. The Marines... well, they get left generally alive, when he leaves the battlefield... poor unfortunate bastards. They do talk.

Character: Sanae Hanekoma |
May my character use her ability on your character?
Yes!
May my character spy on your character?
There might be a few things I'd rather keep secret, but for the most part, it should be fine. Go for it. o7
Other questions/concerns?
Hanekoma is an angel, complete with big white wings that he can make visible at will. I'm alright with a spying Robin catching him with his wings out while he's in private, so long as she doesn't spread it around. Would she keep it quiet, or would he have to talk her into it?
Also, he knew our previous Robin, though not well. So he might be a little surprised the weird girl with too many arms doesn't remember him.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-17 05:36 pm (UTC)From:And yeah, as for the things you do want kept secret, that's why I set up the spying the way I did. To give you the ability to say, "Um, no. This is really just between me and so and so."

May my character use her ability on your character? Go right ahead!
May my character spy on your character? Yep-- but Ginko has keen senses pushing not-quite-human, so there isn't much in his line of vision/hearing he won't notice. He has a habit of eavesdropping himself, too.
Character: Calcifer |
May my character use her ability on your character? If she CAN-- he's made of fire, and very magical.
May my character spy on your character? Yep-- again, if she can manage. He can sense the presence of magical and non-magical living creatures of any kind in his vicinity.
Other questions/concerns? Nope nope.
