Permission Post
Piper has some abilities that were passed down to her by her godly mom, Aphrodite. One is the ability to read expressions extremely well, even with people she doesn't know very well. It's instinctive for her.
The other is an ability called Charmspeak. This ability is basically persuasiveness. She can persuade people to do things, give her things that they normally wouldn't (such as convincing someone to give her and her friends a helicopter), calm people down, and even go so far as to bring someone back from the dead. Charmspeak relies on quite a few factors: Piper's confidence, whether or not the person can hear her, whether they're attracted to her, and whether they're aware of her ability and can resist it. She's also not one to abuse this power, but sometimes she slips into Charmspeak on accident if she's really passionate about something. Her ability is considered charming someone, so if your character has a resistance to charm effects, then they'd be able to resist or be immune to her Charmspeak.
She also has a knife that can show her locations of people and occasionally visions of the future. Pipes only gets "video" and no sound, kind of like scrying. Here's what I need to know from you guys!
1. Can Piper read your characters expressions? Yes or no, really.
2. If yes, how much can she read? I just need a gauge of how much she can get out of your character.
3. Can your character be affected by Piper's Charmspeak? Yes, no, or partially.
4. How much can your character be influenced by it? What it says on the tin. Anything major and I'll be sure to contact you about it!
5. Can Piper use Katoptris, her knife, to see your character? This is only in situations in which she feels she needs to use it, i.e. your character is missing and she's trying to find them.
6. Anything else? Did I miss something that you'd like to cover or talk with me about?
