What you need to know
Threadjacking: Oh my god please always and everywhere!
Backtagging: There is no such thing as a too-old tag.
Fourth-walling: Get in touch with me first.
Hugging this character: Yes please!
Kissing this character: Go for it! You might get punched, fair warning.
Fighting this character: Get in touch with me first. I love to have him get punched in the face, but check in with me on the off-chance that I've, you know, done threads that take place later in time talking about his pure and umblemished and unblackened eyes.
Injury/death: Obviously check in first, but odds are I'll be open to it.
Reading this character's mind: Go for it! All you'll see are erotic fantasies about justice anyway.
Psychically manipulating this character: Goooo forrr iiit.
OOC/IC triggers/discomfort: I'll get in touch with you or just drop the thread if I'm personally uncomfortable about anything, so don't worry about skirting any topics for OOC reasons. ICly, Edgeworth himself is a mess; he has PTSD which is triggered consistently by earthquakes and occasionally by confined spaces and the sound of gunfire. So if you ICly fire a gun around him or lock him in a closet or whatever, he'll get weird.
What I need to know
Edgeworth is coming into the city with the ability of guilt manipulation. This means he will be able to do the following:
1.) Cause another person to relive one or more crimes from their past. "Crime" here is relative - any incident in which they transgressed against someone, perceive themselves to have transgressed against someone, or are perceived to have transgressed can be a crime. Additionally, if Edgeworth is deliberately activating this power, he can cause them to relive the crime he wants them to relive.
2.) Cause them to suffer feelings of extreme remorse associated with this crime. The degree of guilt will be proportional to the severity of the crime.
3.) Potentially drive them, using these feelings of guilt, to confess their crimes.
This power will be limited by several factors. First, he must be in direct physical contact for this. Second, he's not an evil sort of guy, so he'd really have to be furious before he deliberately used this against someone. And, third, he'll have very poor control over the power.
Now, this sort of thing can cause real and significant emotional damage to a character, so I will never, ever have him use this power without contacting you first. Filling out this permissions post is not going to give me carte blanche to use this whenever; prior to any actual use, I will contact you. This is just to know who's interested in plotting out something involving this.
So please, if you are interested, answer these questions!
1.) Are you interested in plotting something out with me involving the use of this power?
2.) If so, how? Please note that, as I wrote above, he'll have poor control over this power. So there's the possibility that he might use the power against unrepentant villainous types, if they manage to make him really really mad; there's also the possibility that the power might end up being unintentionally triggered against someone he wouldn't intend to use it against. I'm open to plotting of both types!
3.) Would your character also confess their crime? Be warned that Edgeworth can be a crusader at times; he might very well tattle on them if it's a very bad sort of thing. We can very easily get around this, though!

Date: 2014-03-01 07:39 pm (UTC)Obviously, the guilt alone would either make him a) question or simply blame it on Edgeworth's abilities or b) make him start to second-guess himself, thinking back on L's suspicion directed towards him and wondering if it really is legitimate. Or both! Either way he probably wouldn't be very happy with Edgeworth afterwards.

I'd sooner not have it happen right away, because having caused Light that sort of suffering would crush Edgeworth a little bit, so I'd sooner get him into a place where he could cope with that; in a few weeks, though, I think it'll be completely fair game.
