Charles Xavier is a telepath which means he has use of some specific powers. The most important to note for those who are in game with him are as follows:Telepathic Control & Manipulation: The ability to read and manipulate other people's minds achieving a variety of effects up to and including mind control. Absorb Information: The ability to quickly process and store information by mental transference. Mind Control: The ability to control the thoughts and actions of others. Mind Possession: The ability to control and use another's body as their own. Mental Alteration: The power to change a persons personality partially or entirely by sheer force of will. Mental Amnesia: The ability to cause loss of particular memories or even total amnesia in another person or group of people. Mental Paralysis: The ability to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.[18]
Mental Sedation: The ability to telepathically "sedate" one's victims so that, if already rendered unconscious, they remain so for as long as a telepath continues to "sedate" them.Mind Link: The ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual. Astral Projection: The ability to project one's astral form from their body onto astral planes or the physical plane over vast distances. Psionic Shield: The ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of oneself's and other's minds. Telepathic Cloak: The ability to telepathically mask one's presence and the use of their abilities from being detected by other mutants and psychic entities. Telepathic Illusions: The ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events that are not actually occurring. Telepathic Camouflage: The ability to alter the apparent physical appearance of oneself and others by altering the perceptions of those around them. This can go so far as to make other people believe that the camouflaged people are not there (invisible). copy and pasted the most relevant.
This will obviously be a case by case scenario, and in game Charles is without the use of cerebro so his power will be very limited. He'd also try very much not to pry, but he can't turn off the fact that he might get a ~ feeling ~ from people if not fully formed thoughts, or catch something they might be thinking about very loudly. I would appreciate answer the following questions to keep me on the right track in regards to your characters.
Can Charles read your characters mind?* Do they have any defences ( ie psychic shielding, Emma Frost's diamond form, or Erik Lehnsherr's stupid helmet ) ? Is there anything that would block them? Or is your character something other than human and would their brain be too different for him to comprehend?
Is there anything glaringly obvious he would pick up right away? This could be anything from mental states or general secrets. This would only be used if you wanted Charles to know immediately.
*if he can, is it okay to go off the inner monologue characters have in their brackets?
Also in a game like Reverie, he might have to use his more invasive powers such as control or sedation. I will always come to talk it out oocly first, and hash out whether he can get involved and what people are comfortable with etc etc.
And finally, if your character is a big flashing sign of emotions and you'd like Charles to track them down because of psychic headaches, you can comment here or add me onathosing or at discord athosing#9964.
Kamala + Elektra
Can Charles read your characters mind?* No, she's immune to all forms of mind control/reading/etc. for reasons that have yet to be explained.
Do they have any defences ( ie psychic shielding, Emma Frost's diamond form, or Erik Lehnsherr's stupid helmet ) ? Yes? Her powers are the likely cause of her immunity.
Is there anything that would block them? Or is your character something other than human and would their brain be too different for him to comprehend? Her powers would block him? Again it has yet to be revealed. All we know for sure is that a villain tried getting in her head to possess her and failed miserably.
** I am choosing to ignore any possible (lbr probably an event) comic that may or may not have implied otherwise because as far as I'm concerned her creator is the final word on this and not whatever hack is borrowing Ms. Marvel to boost sales. Sorry not sorry. I don't trust the editorial team that thought Nazi Steve Rogers is a good idea.
Elektra
Can Charles read your characters mind?* No... or at least not easily.
Do they have any defences ( ie psychic shielding, Emma Frost's diamond form, or Erik Lehnsherr's stupid helmet ) ? Elektra is a member of the Chaste so she trained to resist this. This is especially true since the man she grew up with regularly played mind tricks on anyone it worked on (similar to the control and manipulation Charles has) so Elektra had extra incentive to get really good at it.
Is there anything that would block them? Defenses she placed in herself over time. In the comics, she envisions a harsh mountain environment complete with a blizzard with her deepest thoughts and feelings on the other side of it.
Or is your character something other than human and would their brain be too different for him to comprehend? Elektra is the Black Sky but, who even knows what that means tbh. The Netflix writers are really lazy. He can pick up on her being different in some way considering season two implied something dark is inside her and it pushes her to be more violent.
Note: she will pick up on any invasion of her mind and protect against it whether it be through psychic defenses or getting up from her seat to bash his head into the nearest wall. She might be willing to hear him out if he wants to talk... or she could react violently.
Either way, this is what you can expect from the ladies!!!

basically he'll just attribute otherness to them the same with mutants? powered people etc etc. who knows with marvel.
no subject
But, that works for me! Even if it will confuse Elektra since she doesn't know she is ~different~ yet. She just thinks she's mentally ill or something aka standard powered person experience.
