Permissions

[youwillbe]

Yoda is an extremely powerful Jedi Master. As such, he has some pretty "calls for a permission post" abilities. So let me know what is/isn't okay for him to use on your characters. In general, these abilities are:

Jedi Mind Tricks: Overriding the will of the weak minded (These aren't the droids you're looking for)

Empathy: The ability to pick up on the emotions of others.

Precognition: Most likely to come up in a combat situation, knowing in advance what the other character will do.

Battle Meditation: Influencing the overall morale of a battlefield, bolstering his compatriots and depressing his opponents.

ETA

Telekinesis: Flinging about of weapons.

AND WHILE I'M HERE!

Fourth Walling: I'm fine with fourth walling so long as it makes sense. And Yoda being so recognizable, it is likely to make sense.

The TARDIS

[sexyoldgirl]

She is not weak minded at all so probably a 'no' unless she's completely exhausted or on the verge of death. But he can definitely pick up on her emotions. Not very battle-oriented so the precog probably won't be too much to worry about. And he can definitely influence her morale - especially once she knows that he's not a bad guy.

[aspecialsnowflake]

Varvara (this one here) - Demon, completely immune to mind trickery and battle meditation shenanigans. Empathy is fine, although Varvara doesn't feel emotions in the same way as others or very appropriately when she does. Precog is fine, but she's not the blatant combat type.

Varric (brosbeforeprose) - Varric's too strong minded to be affected by Jedi mind tricks. Yoda'll get a pretty blatant, 'what the hell are you doing' stare for that. The rest are fine, though!

Tali (keelahselai) - Weaker than Varric but still strongish, so she might find herself starting to acquiesce before suddenly wondering what the hell she said/did that for and starting to shake it off? idk if that's a thing that can happen. If she's distracted, exhausted or generally run down, though, it'll be much easier.

Heya! I play this guy, L Lawliet from Death Note.

Jedi Mind Tricks: L is not weak-minded and he's pretty arrogant and steadfast, so I don't think these would work as well on him. The exception is something he already wants to believe, in which case I think Yoda would have better luck ("Light Yagami Kira, is.")

Empathy: Have at it! L isn't very outwardly emotionally demonstrative when he can help it (ie, not immediately in danger and terrified) and he doesn't get to talk about feels that often.

Precognition: Go for it. This would throw him for a nasty loop and shock him, which I am all for.

Battle Meditation: I see no reason against it and I say awesome.

[didnotwant]

Jedi mind tricks: He would have a harder time as Mario has two very distinct sides. He might ever have the impression something is very much not amused by that.

Empathy: Yes. He should even have the ability to feel when Marion's wolf is closer to the surface.

Precognition: Yes.

Battle meditation: Yes.

[darkestshadeofyou]

Jedi Mind Tricks: hm. Beyond's pretty damned intelligent, genius that would have succeeded the greatest mind (arguably) in his world. So I'll defer to you on that 'cause while I know who Yoda is and what a Jedi is I've no clue how it goes xD.

Empathy: Yep! :D go for it, feel all you want, he's pretty openly creepy when he's not trying to be manipulative lol.

Precognition: Also fine~

Battle Meditation: If they fought together/he could convince Beyond to help him, then yeah that'd be fine :3

[spidersongs]

Mind tricks: Mezzaline isn't weak-willed but she's got no defense against psychic things, so he could probably get to her with some effort - but not if she's really, really passionately sure about something.

Empathy: Go ahead!

Precognition: Yeah, sure.

Meditation: Again, that's cool with me!

[dust_of_life]

I think I can give a blanket "yes" to all of these for Fatima. The caveat being that she is, by no means, weak-minded. So the mind tricks would be difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. It would probably work, but she'd quickly realize she was being manipulated.

[sponsorigami]

Ivan Karelin / Tiger & Bunny

Jedi Mind Tricks: Sure. He's not entirely weak willed about some things, but he's been so beaten down in game lately, it won't take much to get him. His head has been messed with before in series too.

Empathy: The ability to pick up on the emotions of others.

Precognition: Sure, got a bit of canon basis for this happening

Battle Meditation: Sure

Telekinesis: Sure

Johannes Cabal

[antisocialnecromancer]

Hmmm...overall 'yes' but probably not the mind tricks, because he's not weak willed. Although if he was exhausted or something it would probably be possible.

*Emilia

[programmed_poet]

Jedi Mind Tricks: Talk to me about this first.

Empathy: YES. ALWAYS. She’s very emotional, and even without empathy it’ll probably come across pretty strongly.

Precognition: That’s fine.

Battle Meditation: Sure.

Telekinesis: Sure.

[adoptalizard]

yes to all, but a 'please talk to me first' for mind tricks :)

Also, a question for you - what are your feelings re: 4th walling?

[youwillbe]

Fair enough!

I'm fine with fourth walling if it makes sense. And let's face it, Yoda is pretty freaking recognizable.

[bestandbrightest]

Jedi Mind Tricks: Jim is very strong willed, so this wouldn't work as well on him, maybe if he's having a weak moment, sure, but I'm open to talking about it.

Empathy: Go for it!

Precognition: Sure.

Battle Meditation: Yep yep!

Telekinesis: Feel free to grab things from him like that.



Fourth Walling: Jim's always been very into 20th and 21st century literature, music, and films. So, he most definitely watched Star Wars. Just so you know that he'll recognize him.

[doubleppk]

Jedi Mind Tricks: REALLY easy on Fujiko. Super duper easy.
Empathy: alksdjalskdjalsdkjasd Good luck >> Um Fujiko has trouble knowing/handling her own emotions/empathy so... it is a tangled mess. Yoda's welcome to try to pick through it but ICly, he might just want to avoid the headache all together and would get a strong sense that it is a tumultuous mess of fear/want/desire/everything ever.
Precognition: YES, unless Fujiko makes it up on the spot. She pretty much never does that though, so I'll try to remember to write out any major plans she has in advance with Yoda threads and you can read the brackets.
Battle Meditation: Sadly wouldn't work on her either way because of the emotional chaos thing :<
Telekinesis: Awesome, and yes.

+ 1 more

Lying: Fujiko a damned liar. She is almost always lying, and a paranoid act from hell. Yoda should be very easily able to tell that she's lying and that her true emotions are messy but near the surface. She also tends to mirror the person she's with for attitude so Yoda would probably be able to calm her down at least, but she'll always be very nervous and suspicious and afraid and so forth.

[ace_of_hearts]

Jedi Mind Tricks: Not so much thanks to Ace's haki.
Empathy: Absolutely welcome, Ace can be on the extreme side of emotions, but they're not too hard if you know what you're looking for.
Precognition: Difficult because of the haki again, and because Ace haphazardly makes things up sometimes on instinct, but if it comes up, yes.
Battle Meditation: Yes please.
Telekinesis: Go for it! It'd probably be hard to control his flames, but making Ace himself freeze in mid-air would be awesome and he's used to crazier-ish.

[ethnobotany]

Yes to most. Neither Beverly nor Jadzia has a particularly weak mind, so the mind tricks might not work and neither would be particularly pleased about being taken over, but we can talk if that ever comes up. You're canon familiar, so I'm fine with his empathy picking up on weirdness re: Dax, like Troi did with Odan in TNG. That feeling that something is off. Not wrong, exactly, but strange. Beverly isn't unusual and I'm fine with Yoda picking up anything with her.

[not_the_question]

Jedi Mind Tricks: Won't work on the Doctor or Cridhe. They are both touch-telepaths and have their own mind infiltration defences.

Empathy: Probably can happen with the Doctor, but best to discuss first - he's very complex. For Cridhe absolutely can happen, since she hasn't learned to hide it yet.

Precognition: The psychic defences both Cridhe and the Doctor have would probably prevent this.

Battle Meditation: Since it is a general thing and not specific, this is fine for both.

Telekinesis: Since they're both telepathic, probably wouldn't work on objects they have on their person.

Fourth Walling: Subtle hints that the Star Wars universe is fiction in Doctor Who, but I think the Doctor would just love to meet Yoda anyway. If Yoda wants to know the Time Lords and TARDISes exist, that would be fine by me.

[youwillbe]

Yoda was actually friends with the First Doctor and Idris in EV. He taught Idris to swim by dangling her over the side of the ship with the Force.

[not_the_question]

Good to know! Though Twelve and Cridhe will have no recollection of this ;)

[youwillbe]

Of course, such confusion is the nature of CRAU hijinks. But he has fond memories of going around with One hitting things with canes.

[not_the_question]

hahahah that's so perfect. He and Twelve should have a "Force Vs. Sonic" competition LOL

[toomanynitrogens]

Aidan's got a stronger will than it might seem at first, but I'm fine with mind tricks as long as you talk to me first. Picking up on his emotions is a definite yes -- I'll mention them in narration if/when they interact.

He is definitely going to recognize Yoda. Is he allowed to tell Yoda that, in his universe, Yoda's fictional?

[youwillbe]

I'm fine with that! He knows there's SOMETHING weird in other universes thanks to various reactions in EV including the classic "... I just said fuck to Yoda".

[ashes_ascended]

Jedi mind tricks: Phoenix has a telepathy and empathy blocking ability, and is very strong-willed, so I think the mind tricks wouldn't work.

Empathy: Same again for this.

Precognition: And again.

Battle meditation: Phoenix has raised a daughter with a monster in her head by teaching her to meditate with him, so this is great.

Telekinesis: That sounds fine, unless 'Heaven' has granted Phoenix temporary enhanced strength for a righteous fight. Which will happen less often in this game.

Fourth wall: My OC has no reason to fourth-wall Yoda. He's aware of different universes, and has only heard of the Jedi Knights in general, not specific names. Also - similar, but not entirely fourth wall, Phoenix's PB might cause a few raised eyebrows among the Jedi contingency on board the Enterprise.

Wow, that was longer than I intended it to be....

[engineermage]

Mind tricks - Kale and Trever, yes. Alec - depending.

Empathy - Sure, for all three.

Precognition - sure for all three.

Battle Meditation - Sure. Twins would love it if he were on their side.

Telekinesis - sure.

Fourth Walling - Alec could totally do it, but generally doesn't. He's familiar with Star Wars though. Both having visited the universe and through the movies. He generally says that he's visited their world and that's how he's familiar with their world. Star Wars doesn't exist in Star Wars universe so no issue there.

Note - Alec will probably feel kinda off to Yoda trying to sense him in the Force. Not like he's a dark side creature but just kinda wrong and not belonging.

[magnetic_magpie]

Jedi Mind Tricks: He's stated to have a LOT of resistance to telepathic suggestion but Yoda being Yoda, I'm open to plotting. It does take a lot to over come his mental barriers.

Empathy: Yes I'm very much ok with this. Mags would be uncomfortable but he's used to these kinds of powers. He emotes more strongly than he admits anyway.

Precognition: I'm okay with this but I'd like to plot it out.

Battle Meditation: He's very hard to influence but I am open to plotting.

Telekinesis: Yes he's used to this!

AND WHILE I'M HERE!

Fourth Walling: Canonly I think Mags knows Star Wars but until I see how other canon mates have weighed in, I won't have him mention anything.

While I'm here, could you hit Magneto's perms post please?
