If you aren't sure about something or you have an idea for plot/log/shenanigans in some form, feel free to use this post to get in touch with me!

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. Pᴏᴡᴇʀ-Rᴇʟᴀᴛᴇᴅ Pᴇʀᴍɪssɪᴏɴs 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? <b>Can she use empathy on your character?</b> (This requires contact, and allows her to feel what they feel and discover what kind of person they are.

Can she use empathy on your character?
Yes

If yes, what would she feel? Sense of guilt, duty, general helpfulness, maybe pining for his lost hero days depending on his mood.

Can she use emotional-manipulation on your character?
Yes

If yes, are there any limits or particular emotions you think would be interesting?
Uselessness is one

Can she attack with an intent to kill/consume or successfully kill/consume your character?
Yes if this happens for some reason.

Are there any limits you'd like to put on this?
Talk about it first if it comes up?

Thank you so much for filling this in!

I don't think she'd have the compulsion to eat him, because she has a strict moral code that she applies to her attacks. However, emotional manipulation and empathy investigation are very much things that she is prone to applying to people. The pining and guilt would be of particular interest of him, and might lead her to guide conversation that way, if you'd be up for it?

Is Billy open about rangering, or not so much?

That's fine! And no, he's not open---it's a dark secret he carries around, only shares with people he knows he can trust. Her finding out is okay though.
