[OOC]
Backtagging: Always! Depending on the age of the thread, I may be a bit slower than usual.
Threadhopping: Sure, why not?
Fourthwalling: I'd rather people not, but if you think you have a good reason, hit me up.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): None, really. I'm pretty hard to offend.
[IC]
Hugging this character: If he's trying to play up the cute-cuddly act, he will accept any and all hugs! And he usually is, unless he really doesn't like someone.
Kissing this character: He is 18, no matter how young he looks, so feel free. I can't promise he won't react badly, though. He's not really the touchy-feely sort, despite the above.
Flirting with this character: Again, if you really want to, good luck. He's pretty oblivious.
Fighting with this character: Yes! Finally, something this boy will play along with. He will definitely fight back, to varying levels of success, so hit me up to plot.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): I wouldn't have dropped him into this game if I weren't okay with a few terrible things happening to him. Drop me a line and we'll plot if you feel like damaging him.
Killing this character: I'd prefer to avoid TOO many deaths, but if he gets himself into an IC corner, what can you do? Again, just talk to me first, and we'll work it out.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Good luck. Feel free to try, but he does have some fairly good shielding despite not being telepathic himself thanks to living with telepaths for many years. But they're not perfect, so things will slip out. Just ask what could be picked up.
Warnings: He's not quiiiiiiiiiiite as mentally stable as he likes to come across. He's heavily invested in maintaining the 'cute-fuzzy-harmless' persona, but pushed far enough or in a position where the persona doesn't matter, the claws will come out.

Power Permissions
Mamoru is an empath. He can both receive and project emotions, so there are two things that might need permissions.
1. Since his receiving is largely passive and he's actually mostly incapable of turning is off entirely, he'll usually pick up whatever major emotions the characters might be feeling. He won't get a reason behind anything, but he might try to guess. If you would rather he not, or if your character has training/shielding/no emotions to pick up/etc that would stop this power, please let me know.
2. The mind-whammy bit. Mamoru is capable of projecting most emotions (although complex things like jealousy or disgust are largely beyond him) such as anger or fear, but his best and most common trick is to project a general cloud of contentment and comfort that tend to make people trust him, or at least see him as harmless and not a threat. He reinforces the emotional with an outward act until people start trusting him on their own, but people are overly hostile or who have mental protections will either ignore or not notice his meddling. For the average person with no psychic abilities, they won't even notice he's doing anything, they'll just find themselves inexplicably drawn to like, trust, and help this mid-teenage-looking kid. People who are naturally distrustful might notice that it's strange for them to want to trust someone, no matter who, right away, and may fight the emotions, at which point, Mamoru will generally give up and try other methods.
If you have reasons to want to avoid either of these, or your character would ICly notice/react/be immune/turn into a pumpkin/anything and everything, please let me know! Thanks! :D
