illusionbreaker: (Talk to the hand)

The simplest explanation for Imagine Breaker is that it's an ability that negates anything supernatural. Because of the nature of this ability and how it interacts with the supernatural, I've created this permission post for its more troublesome traits.

  • Subconscious Fear: Imagine Breaker is capable of inflicting fear upon nearby supernatural beings. It manifests as a gut instinct that will warn you to keep your distance and is similar to the kind of feeling you'll probably get when standing at the very edge of a cliff. This seems to primarily effect beings who either don't have a flesh and blood body of their own (Ex: Energy Being. Anything possessing a body that isn't theirs.) or is being kept alive by something decisively supernatural.

  • Death: Imagine Breaker possesses the potential to kill and/or destroy supernatural beings upon touch. If you want your character to be affected, but don't want the full lethal consequences, we can think up of a more appropriate affect that fits your character better.

  • Destruction of Magical Items: Exactly what the title says. I typically limit this to only temporary nullification of the item's effect unless you're fine with allowing the full consequences of having said item destroyed.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions or concerns you have about Imagine Breaker.

That's pretty much how I understood it, but wanted to give you some OOC wiggle room with being able to nullify things that might affect him otherwise.

And certainly. You're already applying part of it in your posts, but for clarity I will write it as if you have not. (to.. to the point of overexplaining? Maybe...:( but afraid to leave something out) Because of the change of setting, characters no longer being in their canon, powers related things that are ordinarily guaranteed to happen in their canon are no longer guaranteed to happen exactly as it would, on the train. A teleport spell isn't guaranteed to take someone off the train, the canon ability to possess anyone suddenly can fail even if in THEIR universe it can't, and so on. Character A with super purifier powers who could heal any poison in canon, on the train suddenly might not be able to cure Character B's poison, because it's from a different universe.

It's sort of a built in way to allow for OOC consent to apply IC. Even though in canon eventually Xehanort could tear out Touma's metaphysical heart without ever touching him using tech alone, if you OOCly said no, you don't want it, then the ability fails even though Touma has no specific resistance to technology. He's from a different universe, "for some reason" it just fails, or doesn't work right in some way.

Players are expected to not abuse this, of course. I don't think anyone abuses consent here. Good communication OOC is the key!

Mind, this is for players rping against players, facing mod level things is very different. Mod plot trumps all.
