Character name: Jules Grumley
Fandom: Original (Monsters!verse)
Species: hybrid (monster & human blood)
Character powers:
Jules is a hybrid, meaning that she's part human and part monster. The more general abilities that come with her hybrid heritage are:
• enhanced strength & endurance
• accelerated healing
• enhanced speed & reflexes
• resilience against exhaustion and sickness
Their skin is warmer to the touch than that of a human. Additionally, most monsters and some hybrids have particular abilities. Jules' is contact-based emotional manipulation and empathy, to a degree where she can try to judge if a person is 'good' or 'bad' - which isn't always easy. She can't read specific thoughts, but she can definitely pick up their emotions loud and clear, and dark, dangerous things within them, be it bad things they've done in the past, motivations or a squiggly demon. This ability allows her to read and warp emotions as she sees fit, but she needs physical contact - not necessarily flesh-on-flesh - to be able to read or manipulate anything.
Monster blood is a pretty messed up thing, and while having it does grant powers there are also significant downsides.
• need to consume human flesh
• need for violence
• risk of losing yourself to the monster
It's not simply the need for flesh, but the violence of the act to quell the monster part of them. If a hybrid tries to deny their monster part, then they get very sick and weak, sometimes hallucinate - they may even go berserk and temporarily lose control of themselves, causing more damage than would have occurred otherwise. Jules need is massively watered down from the monsters and, indeed, most hybrids; monsters eat people all the time, and more concentrated hybrids may need to eat people once a month, Jules 'only' needs to have them three or four times a year.

Can she use empathy on your character?
(This requires contact, and allows her to feel what they feel and discover what kind of person they are. She wouldn't know specific thoughts, but she can definitely pick up their emotions loud and clear and dark, dangerous things within them, be it bad things they've done in the past, motivations or a squiggly demon. )
If yes, what would she feel?
Can she use emotional-manipulation on your character?
(She uses this to tip fights to her advantage, overwhelming her opponent with emotions or twisting what they feel to turn it against them.)
If yes, are there any limits or particular emotions you think would be interesting?
Can she attack with an intent to kill/consume or successfully kill/consume your character?
(This would only happen every few months, unless she was attacked and endangered in such as way that she went temporarily berserk or we devised some other reason. If you are interested, there would be no need to log this, it's gory and not everyones cup of tea, even if the character stuff leading up to and following might be fun. Conversely, I'd be happy to log it if you wanted! Near-misses are also okay.)
Are there any limits you'd like to put on this?

Yes to all! (Khisanth/
If yes, what would she feel?
Khisanth: lots of negativity! Annoyance to outright anger, tons of greed, a load of superiority and haughtiness, and probably a whole lot of feelings of confinement and restraint if she's in her human form.
Damian: Definitely not what he seems to be feeling, which is usually nothing but pleasant amusement. Under that there's mostly just a lot of calculation, sometimes cold and sometimes just thoughtful.
Vanadi: OVERFLOWING LOVE AND FONDNESS AT ALL TIMES. He's in love with like half of Exsilium, and just moons after people in general. Also lots and lots of lust, but that comes second to the lovey crap. There's also a lot of sadness and self-pity, he's basically saturated in it, but he uses the love to cover it up for himself.
Can she use emotional-manipulation on your character?
Yes to all!
If yes, are there any limits or particular emotions you think would be interesting?
Opposites! Khisanth would be super startled by anything positive, Vanadi hating would be... well actually really alarming (especially to him), and Damian feeling anything too strongly would throw him off a lot, because he spends a lot of time suppressing all that — especially anger and fear.
Can she attack with an intent to kill/consume or successfully kill/consume your character?
y to all! I MEAN OBVIOUSLY I'D WANT TO TALK IT OUT BEFOREHAND but I am generally good with terrible things happening to all my dudes and lady. 8)
Are there any limits you'd like to put on this? nothing i can think of!

no jk ilu
THIS IS ALL SUPER INTRIGUING and also i love how different they all are just fyi
man she will just make out with Vanadi it'll be grand. And probably sleep with him. They can just get too many feelings everywhere.
I think of everyone the ones she'd be most suspicious of is Khisanth, and possible Damian as well! I would love to plot things, though :3c
BUT YES I WILL CONTACT YOU WITH THOUGHTS AND IDEAS IF THERE IS A THING
