1) are you a character from the vorkosigan saga?
2) do you have a thread with tej where she and your character are physically present in the same area?

then this is the post for you!


general permissions
tej is half cetagandan, which means that she has an excellent sense of smell/hearing (among things like perfect pitch and an affinity for languages). but what this means for your character is that tej can pick up things like arousal, fear, and other emotional states. how good is her sense of smell? she can make an accurate guess at someone's sexuality based on their arousal and the smell of other people on them. it's ridiculous, i know. what's even more important is that she can pick up on emotional states that your character is unconscious of!

one of her powers is power nullification, which is touch based and completely opt in!

SO I HAVE PROVIDED A HANDY-DANDY FORM FOR YOU TO FILL OUT, YES YOU.



now, if you play a character from the vorkosigan saga, i have one more thing for you. the rest of you can go, thank you!

vorkosigan permissions
tej's canon point is directly after her marriage to ivan, which means she's coming it with as little specific information about the majority of the cast as possible. but, because she's from roughly fifteen years in the future for most of the cast, she is going to know things that other characters don't.

if there is anything specific you DO NOT want tej to tell your character, please fill out the form below. if there is anything you DO want her to tell your character, you can mention that as well. if i think of something that kind of falls between the two areas but might edge close to DO NOT, i will do my best to contact you. if i mention something and you realize that oh no, fuck, i forgot to list that, please do not hesitate to pm me/ping me on plurk/@ me on slackchat/however you want to get a hold of me to fix it.

thanks guys!!

can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: Sure! I try to be pretty obvious in narrative, since--
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Yes, most of Gregor's emotions are hidden and non-obvious, lmfao. He will be highly disconcerted to deal with this.
what about anything to do with their love life: Go wild. Right now he's sleeping with both Kitty and Miles on a regular basis.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Sure! He'll be DEEPLY UNHAPPY about shutting his links off, though, hahaha. That's been happening to him way too many times.

anything you DO NOT want your character to know: Just whatever Rho doesn't want Miles to know, Gregor probably shouldn't know either, because that would be exceedingly tricky and a strain on him! Miles's death in particular is probably a bad idea, though I'm not sure she even knows that...
anything you DO want your character to find out: It'd be interesting for him to find out he does end up happily married, and to a Komarran, but I don't have any particular timeline on that.

I have both Aral and Ikki! SO I WILL BE ANSWERING FOR BOTH.

can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: Absolutely for both.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Also I am totally down with this as well. Ikki and Aral are both somewhat open books, but I'll be happy to add whenever things don't line up.
what about anything to do with their love life: Again, absolutely feel free. For Aral, you know the canon! HAVE FUN.
For Ikki he's the most virginy virgin ever, and not as much of a horndog as he played up. Extremely into girls, but probably has the occasional exception for really awesome wrestlers and mobile suit gundams.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Aral is also a null, so if they both get shut down I'd just find that hilarious. IKKI ... if it gets to the point where it's necessary he deserves it.

anything you DO NOT want your character to know: Nope, I'm pretty easy.
anything you DO want your character to find out: Nothing specific! ... Okay no. The idea that Ezar's deal post escobar is studied by Jacksonian school children I really want him to know.

dendarii: (good point)
From: [personal profile] dendarii
can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: YES
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: hell yes
what about anything to do with their love life: Please god. He is sleeping with Kitty and Gregor, and has slept with Jim, Spock, Saya, and Tex.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Go for it!

anything you DO NOT want your character to know: Don't tell him about his wife and future family for sure. No Mark until that new breaks. Uh ... if we can somehow dodge around the MD spoiler and its resolution (you know the one) that'd be great?? but hard to do. Just don't tell Miles much about himself I guess.
anything you DO want your character to find out: ... Except mention he's a Lord Auditor, that'd be fantastic. REALLY I AM FLEXIBLE we can play it by ear.

can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: Yes! Sam gets to smell people with his shifter nose, might as well have the tables turned on him.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Also an absolute yes.
what about anything to do with their love life: You've got full access to that too. Sam is predominately attracted to the ladies. He hasn't been active since arriving here, but uh. Give him time.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Sure thing!

komarran: (miles is serious)
From: [personal profile] komarran
can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: sure!
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: go for it!
what about anything to do with their love life: you mean his nonexistent one? SURE, currently he has been on one date for Kasumi and does indeed have the hots for her.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: yes and he won't mind one bit unless she stops him from healing for some reason.

anything you DO NOT want your character to know: SHE KNOWS NOTHING OF DUV YET, but really, anything she tells him won't be too ground breaking when canon updates happen so this shouldn't be an issue.
anything you DO want your character to find out: only that Tej is married to Ivan for some reason. but that news is going to get around fast ok.

From: [personal profile] failureisntachoice
can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: It is probably harder to do since she is an android/robot lady (which she doesn't advertise, but this could be a big clue), but I'd still be down for confusion regarding this/it being harder/fainter SOMETHING. I wing it a lot with this android stuff.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Same as above!
what about anything to do with their love life: Yes, since that scent is definitely on her. Current partners are Cordelia, though she has been in close proximity/dates with Aral and Rick Grimes (The Walking Dead).

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Yes! Though things may get a little tricky since her powers are tech-based.

From: [personal profile] overemotionally
can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: YES PLEASE I will make sure to write it out.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Sure!
what about anything to do with their love life: YES Jim is bisexual as hell, he's having sex with Spock exclusively at the moment buuuut he's been all over the place. He has had sex multiple times with Miles.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: YES


Side note: I'm reading the VKS now and am only up to mid-Mirror Dance. Lack of spoilers would be appreciated though of course I know who Tej is. c:

From: [personal profile] unclassifiable
can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: Yes.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Yes, but honestly Simon probably does not give off emotions very often. He's real good at compartmentalizing. Likely smells noticeably bland for the most part.
what about anything to do with their love life: Nonexistent for several years.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Yep!

anything you DO NOT want your character to know: It's all fair game!
anything you DO want your character to find out: That he actually manages to retire alive.

can tej pick up on your character's emotional state through smell: Yes! Though see notes.
can tej pick up on any non-obvious/hidden emotions as described in bracket text: Absolutely.
what about anything to do with their love life: Oh yes. Hermann and Newton are engaged and have a very active sex life. They're generally some degree of irritated with one another, yet still very fond.
notes: These nerds share a strong neural link, so their emotions will fluctuate in highly complex ways as they continually influence one another. Emotions may be very charged at any point when their emotional states align. This is mostly handwaved and likely won't seriously come up but Newton's emotions will be a backdrop to Hermann's when they interact, so she'll probably sense some level of weird dissonance there depending on how precise her senses are.

can tej nullify your character's power(s) as it comes up in a thread?: Yes, that sounds fine :) He'll only be a bit peeved if she unexpectedly interrupts his neural drift with Newton.
