Mar. 13th, 2012 07:32 pmdo i know your fear?
Alright, so with much nagging from a certain someone, I am on the powers permission bandwagon. Here's a quick rundown of how Trauma's powers work, to help you decide how to respond. Terry is a combination of mind-reader and shapeshifter. Basically, he mind-reads your fear and then changes into it.
His mind-reading is limited to fears only-- which means robots and the like are exempt from his powers. People truly without fears are also immune. Example: The Hulk. Terry can attempt several times, using maybe old fears (like, he transformed into Jauggernaut and Bruce Banner against the Hulk), but if you're truly fearless, his shapechanging will stop working after two or three tries. Any psychics (telepaths, etc.) with experience may be able block his mind-reading.
Additionally, his power is reigned in entirely by his own will power. If crowds panic around him or someone is feeling very strong fear, then his power becomes more difficult to control. He has been known, in the past, to accidentally transform under these circumstances or even when he's provoked to anger.
Okay! So now that you understand Terry's fear-reading power, here's the big question: do i know your fear?
Here's specific things I'd love to know:
→ Does Terry know what you're afraid of?
→ If so, what are you afraid of?
→ And if he doesn't already know, could he read it off you if you ever met him?
→ When reading your mind, is there anything special he might encounter? (Especially with psychics, or people with protection over their thoughts.)
And a sidenote for SUPERNATURAL BEINGS: Terry's a half-demon. He's the son of Nightmare, the dream demon, and therefore is considered an immortal.
Also, if anyone's interested in some kind of plot, blah blah blah, with respect to Terry and his powers, feel free to mention that also.
