PERMISSIONS

Pherson here has the ability to talk to animals, which means he can:
- hear their voices in his head
- tell them things and they can tell him things
- be very persuasive
And this counts for anything that could be considered an animal: bugs, birds, reptiles, mammals, fish. (You can check his character info for more details)

1) If your character keeps some sort of animal or pet, I would really appreciate you letting me know if he can talk to them! Anything like the divulgence of secrets or asking them to do things I will be sure to hit you up and plot with you first.

2) If your character is some kind of animal or part animal, can transform into an animal, I'd like to know that too! As far as imports are concerned, his powers are wonky and don't always work, so you can choose the degree of influence he has on your character all the way up to "none" - and of course, plotting with you is a thing I will do.

NOTE that the wonkyness with imports also applies to animals/companions your pc brings with them.

As a second note, his powers don't usually work on humans, so if you feel your character just has animal themed powers or is a bit furry, don't worry about it. The less actual animal, the less likely they'll be affected.

3) does your character have similar powers? ie, can talk to or control animals (even if it's just one type)? This ALSO makes his power wonky.

You can answer however you like but I have a handy-dandy thing for you:


I can also answer any questions or concerns, no problem. Thank you!

Character name: Tom Riddle
Does your character have animal-based powers (& how so)? Yes! He speaks Parseltongue, aka snake language. He's also talented at making animals in general do what he wants with his magic. So he's particularly good at controlling snakes, because of the Parseltongue.
oh yes, and he can conjure animals with his magic, like canaries and snakes, but he very rarely does.
Does your character keep animal(s)? Yes! He has a pet viper named Letalis who he keeps with him in his MAC apartment (and sometimes while he's out and about when the weather is warm), and two pet basilisks named Scylla and Charybdis that he's currently keeping somewhere outside the city.
How comfortable are you with Pherson's powers working (ie, "not at all", "just talking", "mildly persuasive", "all the way, baby", "only with plotting")? somewhere between "just talking" and "mildly persuasive" with a side of "with plotting as the plot demands"
Anything else of note? Tom knows there are people in the city other than him who could possibly talk to his snakes, so he has warned them off of listening to anyone other than him, especially the basilisks. He also takes very good care of all of them, so they're all extremely loyal to him. Any animals he might conjure ever are free game, but he could easily just Vanish them again and they wouldn't last very long anyway.
