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.

I shall copy Mini with this one too, I think.

Level 2: England ([livejournal.com profile] ofhopeandglory) - this is more for your ease, seeing as how I'm playing him modern-day and he's a country, so it'd be impossible for either of us to know his future. ^^; So Scratch can see pretty much everything about him apart from his future, which is conveniently shrouded in dark pockets, ahahaha.
I'd also like to put Madoka ([livejournal.com profile] stillneedawish) here too, please! Scratch can know everything about her up to and including the fact that she's currently trapped in a series of time loops and that she's got a growing potential as a magical girl/witch, but I'd appreciate it if her future, especially the part about her eventually becoming a god, was a bit patchy for him, since that comes out of left field for pretty much everyone in the story when it happens. :3

Level 3: Pearl ([livejournal.com profile] ghostshippingly), Lyle ([livejournal.com profile] not_that_lockon), Roxas ([livejournal.com profile] seasaltzombie) and Castiel ([livejournal.com profile] loyalbound) are all up for grabs here! Feel free to know everything and anything about them, hehe.
Ten ([livejournal.com profile] timey_wimey) is also here - with the exception of Scratch not being able to know the Doctor's real name as it's some sort of universal canon secret. :'>;; Otherwise, go ahead!

If you need to ask me anything about anyone, especially Ten and Pearl who have years of DDD development in their game history, feel free to hit me up on plurk or AIM, or I could write something up for the people who've been here longer. ^^

Scratch and the Madoka cast is going to be amazing, I can hardly wait. *__*
