Permissions Post 2: Omniscient Boogaloo
In canon, Doc Scratch is nearly omniscient, save for some "dark pockets" that obscure his knowledge. These dark pockets are, more often than not, temporary, and sometimes he can just deduce what's going on because he is, unfortunately, a pretty intelligent man.
That's why this post exists.Just tell me the extent to which Doc Scratch is allowed to know about your character - I'll organise this in levels from 0 to 3 because it's convenient and because I've decided it just now. However, keep in mind (especially for 2 and 3) that Scratch will NOT spoil your character on events they don't know about yet. He will tease and prod and allude and be generally infuriating, but he will never outright say anything like "hey this is when you're doing to die." Anyway, here:
Level 0: Nothing at all. Scratch will only know what any ordinary human being would know. Even if your character doesn't have any sorts of powers to protect them from, say, psychics and the like, the community itself will create a dark pocket around them. That means Scratch cannot, and will never be able to see what's going on around your character, quite possibly even if he's standing 2 feet away from them.
Level 1: Basic knowledge; things like your character's name and what they do in life. Acquaintance-level knowledge, pretty much. Let's chalk this level up to, er, holey dark pockets. Yes.
Level 2: Intermediate knowledge; this includes more details about your character's life, past, present and, with a bit more difficulty, future. Feel free to specify exactly what Scratch is allowed to know!
Level 3: Advanced, near-complete knowledge - just as it would be in canon (in most circumstances). If you're going to go with this, first, I thank you for it, and second, it'd be super-nice if you left me a way to know stuff about your character that can't be easily found with a Google search! Maybe a link to a character survey meme, or a headcanon dump, or anything, really. I promise to make good use of it.
If you have any questions or anything to add at all, go ahead and say it! I know I'm not the best at explaining things sometimes, a-ahahaha.

lookit me actually remembering to give permissions
3. Totes down with knowing everything. She's not likely to believe him anyway.
Fujiyoshi, Harumi
Either 3 or 0. It's up to you. Frankly, there's so much about her series that's just ridiculous it probably would just seem like a scramble of events-- sometimes even repeating events followed by complaints about repeating events because that'll piss viewers off but there's no evidence of any of them being actresses/actors-- and nothing's really in order. It'd probably be less confusing to him to have 0, so I give you the choice! It might be easier to have 0 too, since she knows about a bunch of different people on account of the anime-watchin' and that'd be like. Permissions inside of permissions. PERMISSIONCEPTION.

3. I'm typing this up at work right now, but the main thing you'll need to know headcanon about is her death and I'll IM you about that later. It's never stated so I kind of had to work through it (and I even discussed it with a few others to make sure it's plausible and I'm not crazy). But, I'll come up with a nice coherent explanation for you when it's not morning and I'm not at work.
Natsume, Takashi
1.5 maybe? Natsume's cat puts up a lot of fancy barriers to keep things out and I imagine that could totally screw with a lot of his omniscience, especially since Natsume's surrounded by things that aren't human and has powers of his own that tend to protect him from certain things. Basically there'd be wibbly-wobbliness all over and Scratch might occasionally and spontaneously get information, but not a lot of it without really trying to get it.
Summers, Buffy
3, but a cut off after season 5 since that'd be when her "death" is and she's not supposed to exist after that time.
Does this sound okay? Am I totes crazy? =o=;

I'm sure Scratch wouldn't be that confused about SZS, though, what with how meta MSPA is.
