OPT-IN PERMISSIONS (In the Night)


Aziraphale has a couple special abilities due to being an angel. Here are some that might affect your character, and a blanket opt-in for reference would be appreciated!

PASSIVE
Aziraphale can feel love. If you love someone or a place or a thing, he will be able to detect it. He cannot detect the direction or flow, so he will not be able to detect that your character is the source (unless you're in some sort of position where it's the only thing that logically follows.) If you do not want him to detect this, he will just assume that either it is coming from somewhere else, or that it is his own, since he is an angel and has a passive threshold of love for all things.

PERSUASION
This is his preferred method to resolve a conflict, though he won't use it unless he feels that either he, someone else, or his books (!!!) are being physically threatened. Very calmly, he will point out the injustice in the situation, and suggest that wouldn't your character rather do something else like go give validation and affirmations to someone they love? which will result in a supernaturally strong want to do so. If you do not want this to work, the persuasion can just "fail", but please let me know if you would like for this to come up somehow. Since this is predicated on a person's base desire to do good, this does not work on purely evil characters or those lacking moral compass.

BLESSINGS
Blessings are a general bolster, and we don't really actually get to see what they do, but I am going to treat them like a mood changer, making the person generally more open to or accepting of seeing good in a person or situation, or finding that things not going their way aren't so bad after all. Blessings are not permanent. If you want this to fail, we can just say that the blessing given wasn't strong enough for the situation.

MIRACLES
Miracles are more tangible but far-reaching, is basically just reality-bending, and are really just a catch-all for probability manipulation and transformation. For this permissions post in particular, I would only really like to cover miracles in the form of miraculous escaping of a situation, or for anything on your character. For instance their clothes are suddenly clean, there's something in their pocket, or they got through to customer service in less than ten minutes! Since this is such a vague and expansive category, I'll probably just ask you ad-hoc if something is okay (and since Aziraphale got in trouble for excessive miracles in the 1700s and nobody's watching him anymore, this might come up a lot.)

HEALING
Healing technically goes under miracles but in ITN his healing works differently. His healing will only be able to speed up natural healing by 2x what it would take to naturally heal, and he cannot heal lethal injuries, lantern-related things, or resurrect the dead. Since injury is a large mechanic of the game I will ask before healing your character anyway!

POSESSION
Technically, Aziraphale can possess a character. Both characters will be sharing a mind and body but not a soul. He vastly prefers being in his own body, so he will not do this unless he has no body.

OTHER MANIPULATIONS
Other manipulations that he is shown to be able to do is give someone good dreams. He thinks he should be able to banish someone, but it won't work due to teleportation. There's probably other things I'm forgetting, and they'll go here!



FORM



Feel free to elaborate on yes or no, particularly if you feel more strongly about certain powers in one category vs another. Also feel free to also suggest or request certain powers!
