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.

He can go up to Level 3 with Tails and he can even fourth-wall him if you want. Here and here are good links for more info on him (though ignore the age since I've made him 12 for timeline sake).

Any head canon stuff you can just ask me.

You can always ping me to ask any question from 'what is his favorite type of candy' to 'what scares her the most' to 'how do I piss him off the fastest'! You have my AIM at ryudojitemple and I have notifs turned on at Plurk.

This is easier to sort by levels than it is by character given how many I have. Eheh. Also, I've been meaning to do way more surveys, especially for Issei, font of headcanon.

Level 0: Nessiah / [livejournal.com profile] grancenturio
Level 1: Nobody here but us chickens.
Level 2: Kanna / [livejournal.com profile] bonywings (he can know everything about her, but not about her tons of reincarnations because geeze, I don't want to keep track of that and neither do you)
Level 3: Issei Ryudo / [livejournal.com profile] ewwgirls (with the one exception of Kaitou Kid's identity, he will storm over there and strangle your scrawny puppet neck if you know that), Naesala / [livejournal.com profile] cawing, Sealand / [livejournal.com profile] defactonation, Sherry Birkin / [livejournal.com profile] vinodejerez, Heather / [livejournal.com profile] sapphicthief, Equius Zahhak / [livejournal.com profile] stronghighfive, Rider / [livejournal.com profile] ridingchariots

No problem. <3

Kanaya would be a level three, and I don't think I need to give you a link for her. And she knows he knows everything about her, anyways. Much to her distaste and eternal regret. If you need anything about her stay at DDD, I'll help you out but canon-wise I think you might be set?

Vanille will be level three as well. With a handy Wiki link.

[identity profile] unluckychimera.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Level 3 for Zelgadiss and Pretty Butterfly. Since both wiki articles are a bit on the sparse side you can feel free to inquire with me about anything not contained therein (especially Zel, who's had weird things happen to him due to the community during a gap in canon and as a result is currently no longer a chimera).

Jak I'm putting at Level 0. I don't know if he actually has any specific psychic resistance or anything, but we can chalk it up to the power of the Precursors and him being something approaching a Chosen One (they didn't have a backup hero, but if they did he's who the backup hero would be for). Given how the Precursors are with each other, I'm not sure they'd play nice with other supreme beings, even if they are a bunch of fuzzy little rats.

[identity profile] makewayforroze.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Roze would be level three. If you ever want to hit me up here or through AIM (sillyslanders, yo) then I'll be happy to tell you anything you wanna know.

^_^ And if you dun like me (:() I can write you out a history and link you instead. There isn't a lot written about Roze or I would link you.

All links are spoilery.

Level 1: 11-12 (The Prisoner) [livejournal.com profile] number1112 Link

Level 3: Gellert Grindelwald (Harry Potter) [livejournal.com profile] darklycharming Link
Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter) [livejournal.com profile] master_draco Link
Jemmy J.J. Adams (FAKE) [livejournal.com profile] jjadams Link
Cosmo Cosma (The Fairly OddParents) [livejournal.com profile] oddfairy Link
Jack Kelso (L.A. Noire) [livejournal.com profile] jack_kelso Link

I'm good with anybody being told anything (they won't all necessarily believe it though) - exception being 11-12, although he'll be going through his canon this month so after that he's fair game too.

Level three for all of these guys is fine:

Azula | [livejournal.com profile] peoplesprincess/[livejournal.com profile] emberandash

Eris Wasmayer | [livejournal.com profile] huntedwitch
Hermione Granger | [livejournal.com profile] bookishnettler

Lucy Pevensie | [livejournal.com profile] lionheartedly
Prim Everdeen | [livejournal.com profile] supplanted
Regina George | [livejournal.com profile] losethreepounds

I don't really have any headcanon links that aren't at least partially out of date, sorry 8( But feel free to poke me if you ever have any questions. ♥

[identity profile] sandinmyboots.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
For Kefka, can I say that his past and present are Level 3 but his future is Level 0? I'll get you a meme with that stuff in the morning!

[identity profile] makewayforroze.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm on now, you're very welcome to message me :).

Reading his white text is going to be sooooo fun using the iPhone/iPad to read this because the highlight-to-reveal text thing doesn't work the same way it does on a pc (or if it does, I don't know how it works). The good news is that the text color changes to black when the hidden text is copied and pasted elsewhere! So I got no problem with this, really.

Anyways, for Dead Master he can know anything (because I took her at the end of her canon), except for what she is (an 'Otherself' and this is mostly because canon is very vague on what that is; but I did try to explain it in her profile), what her 'other' name is, and what the 'essence of death' thing is attributed to her scythe (again, because canon doesn't explain it very well).

 For Issun, it's whatever the Doc can know without imposing on Ammy's territory (meaning, there'll be a dark pocket around anything to do with Ammy's and Issun's Celestial Brush).  Issun deals with omniscient beings/gods 'cuz of his own canon, so he's used to them knowing everything already. Issun'll think he's a prophet of some sort and move on with his life.

I guess Issun's level 3 with near complete knowledge and DM's level 2. Sound good?

Level 3 is totally fine! This is a pretty complete reference guide re: Rachel, though when it comes to her relationships with some people, like Jesse and Finn in particular, that may take some question-asking, as Jesse's presence in the game and not (more than likely) in the show anymore, this definitely affects the way she acts around both boys o/ so when it comes to that, and you come up with any questions, feel free to ask!

i'm good with up to level 3! go wild

Welllll if you insist--yeah, the background change would be nice. Would I be assuming that he's still typing on a white on white?

Oops, here's the link to her profile info. The link to the PV of BlackRockShooter's in there, too.

Level 3/whatever's fitting on Greed and Toshio Ozaki ([livejournal.com profile] sotobas_lot). You know Greed. Ozaki's a 32 year old male whose town is in the midsts of a vampire outbreak that he's treating like a regular disease epidemic. Being typical J-horror, it ends badly. If you need specifics... THEN HOW SHALL YOU EVER GET IN TOUCH WITH ME?!?!

[identity profile] carryarifle.livejournal.com 2011-08-28 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Level 3 for everyone. "Everyone" for me, as a refresher, currently includes Misumi Nagisa ([livejournal.com profile] cannotbelieve), Midorikawa Retasu ([livejournal.com profile] 100thbrokendish), Kirishima Kano ([livejournal.com profile] ifbymyhands), Rarity ([livejournal.com profile] diamondmarked), and, naturally, Jade Harley ([livejournal.com profile] carryarifle).
