She tolerates neither audacity or silliness and is not afraid to speak her mind. She rarely smiles or gives a compliment, but she has been known to show a dry sense of humour. Aurelia usually maintains great emotion composure, as only proper of her station (as she sees it.) That being said, she can be warm and supportive during times of trouble or loss. For all her emotional restraint and coolness, it is clear she cares deeply about the students. While Autrox often annoys her, she also has a certain level of respect for him. █Vernacular ▬ What would be considered a British accent in today's world, she has a clipped, short way of speaking.

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Born to a rich and powerful family. it was no question that Aurelia was destined for greatness. With the best education money and parents with connections in all the right places, it wasn't a surprise to anyone when Aurelia ended up on the Vale Council. Perhaps only a shadow Minister for now, but that was a feat at her young age. Anyone who was involved with politics expected her to replace Aurtrox one day. That wasn't to say Aurelia was lazy or stupid and the position unearned. Rather she had a reputation for being rather stern, strict and a hard worker. However as often the case with these public positions, it was more about who you knew, rather than what you knew that won the day.
From the outside, it certainly seemed like Aurelia had what many dreamed of. A charmed childhood and a successful career. However, things weren't often as they appeared and sometimes you couldn't even trust your own memory. Unbeknownst to Aurelia, her parents were not her parents. She wasn't even human, but a Faunus stolen from a village when she was a child. The village destroyed and her people slaughtered the night she was stolen. Taken for her Semblance, the Tribe saw the perfect tool to help fulfil their goals. With the help of a man named Zaffere, all of Aurelia's memories about the village, her real parents, the night she was taken and even her Faunus heritage lay locked in some recess of her mind, forgotten. Even amongst the tribe, only a handful of people knew about Aurelia and where she truly came from. Her 'parents', Zafferey, and the highest members of the Tribe who had set it all up.
Aurelia herself doesn't even know her 'parents' are members of the Tribe. They found other ways to use her. A few months into her position as Deputy Headmistress, she was given a peculiar assignment. The Council fears Aurtrox was part of the Crimson Fang and she was to report on his activities.
Aurelia was promoted to Shadow Minister and Deputy Headmistress one year before the RP started. Before that, she worked in the department of education developing the curriculum for not only Beacon but the other schools in Vale.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Shadowsong █ ▬ A lightweight carbon fibre staff that transforms into a compound bow. Black in colour. █Melee Form ▬ A carbon fibre staff 6ft in length with a slot in the centre where a dust cartridge can be placed. The dust will charge either end of the staff with the corresponding element. Dust last for 3 strikes, regardless of if a person or object is hit. It takes one post to change the cartridge. █Ranged Form ▬ A Compound Bow, which has an effective range of 25 to 55 meters. While it has a max range (the furthest an arrow will fly) of 240 meters, the chances of her actually hitting a specific target at that distance are extremely low. (i.e., she could shoot into a herd of beowolves from that far away and probably hit one as they are packed together, but would very likely miss an individual) █Other Form(s) ▬ The staff folds in half for easier carrying when not in combat. █Ammo Type ▬ Physical █ ▬ Small spaces: Fighting in small rooms or tight corridors make it difficult to use her staff effectively, as it limits her ability to swing it around and may block the hallway preventing allies from aiding her.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Quiver with 40 arrows. The magnetic bottom prevents arrows from falling out easily while in combat. █ ▬ 4 dust arrows █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Fountain Pen █ ▬
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Insight █*AURA COLOR ▬ Purple █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ This telepathic based semblance focuses on reading and manipulating the mind as described in the levels below. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts) The Bond: At this level, Aurelia can form a telepathic bond with one person. When she is within 20 meters of this person, she can hear their thoughts and they hers. From 20 to 100 meters, she can feel their emotions and know if they are injured. Beyond 100 meters the other individual becomes a vague sense of another presence in the back of the mind. Aurelia would be able to point in the direction they are, but little else. With a bit of practice, one can learn how to push the other to the back of their mind, silencing the other's voice while allowing them to eavesdrop, or muting their emotions. The further step can be taken to mask the bond completely, shutting the other person out except for the vague sense of their presence as if they were suddenly more than 100 meters away. To form this bond, Aurelia must physically touch the person and they must willingly receive it. If they resist or reject the bond their aura will protect them from the connection. (Forming the bond takes about 30 seconds of physical contact, but for RP purposes I won't put a post count, as to avoid writing 3 posts about characters sitting there doing nothing while she makes the bond.) The bond is permanent until removed by Aurelia or the other individual. If the other individual decides they no longer want the bond after it is formed, their aura will eat at it until dissolved. This process will take 30 seconds or 3 posts, the same as forming the bond. Empathy: Aurelia can feel and experiences the emotions of those within 1.5 meters of herself. It is involuntary and as a result, she often stands apart from others. When her semblance is activated Aurelia, the range increases 10 meters. She must be physically touching the person to manipulate those emotions in any way, though it does not need to be skin contact. (She can have her gloves on or touch them over clothing and armour.) She can maintain this for 3 posts before becoming overwhelmed with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 3 posts. Mind Reading: Aurelia can read the thoughts of others through simple touch. It is limited to the thoughts currently passing through the person's mind and must be skin contact. Aurelia often wears gloves to avoid accidental mind reading. When her semblance is active, she can read the thoughts of others for up to 5 meters away from herself for 3 posts. In combat, this gives her an edge against close-range fighters as she knows what they are going to do as soon as they think of it. Limited to 1 person or Grimm within range with a 2-post cooldown per active use for a max of 6 post cooldown. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 10 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 1 person or Grimm within that range for up to 4 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 4 posts. The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: At this level, when her semblance is activated, she can now read thoughts of others up to 10 meters away for a maximum of 4 posts. Limited to 1 person or Grimm within range with a 2-post cooldown per active use for a max of 8 post cooldown. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged. Mind Link: At this level, Aurelia's growth with mind-reading and the bond have allowed her to learn a new ability. To form a temporary bond between individuals allowing those whose minds are linked to all communicate telepathically. The mind link can be formed between 3 willing participants, in addition to Aurelia, for a maximum of 6 posts. Similar to the bond, if they are not willing their aura will protect them from the mind link being formed. It has a maximum range of 20 meters from Aurelia's location before the link is lost with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 6 posts. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 15 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 2 people or Grimm within that range for up to 5 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 5 posts. The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: Aurelia's mind-reading abilities have improved once again to allow her to experience memories with a physical touch on semblance activation. For simple mind-reading, her range has improved to 15 meters for a maximum of 5 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 5 posts. Limited to 2 people or Grimm. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged. Mind Link: While still limited to 3 people, the mind link has an improved range of 30 meters for a maximum of 8 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 4 posts. (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts) Memory Recovery: Aurelia's mind-reading ability has developed to where she can find memories that were perhaps once lost or locked away in the mind and recover them. She must make skin on skin contact for 2 posts with a 2-post cooldown. This could include forgotten dreams, PTSD, psychological manipulation, or things forgotten with the use of a semblance, or things simply forgotten with the passage of time. Memories may come back all at once or may come back in fragments and might take several sessions to be fully recovered. The memory is experienced almost like a slide show or movie playing out in front of both Aurelia and the other person.(Up to the RPer if they want it back all at once or in fragments. The two-post count may be waived by the other person to avoid writing about doing nothing, similar to forming the bond) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 20 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 3 people or Grimm within that range for up to 6 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum of 3 posts. (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts) The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: Here her range increases to 20 meters with maximum use of 6 posts with a cooldown of 1 post peruse for a maximum cooldown of 6 posts (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts). Limited to 3 people or Grimm. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged as does the physical touch required to see memories. Mind Link: While still limited to 3 people, the mind link has an improved range of 40 meters for a maximum of 10 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 5 posts. Memory Recovery: Remains the same as level 2. Manipulation: At this level, Aurelia gains the ability to manipulate others' thoughts. She must make eye contact while issuing commands. If it is someone, she has never met she can only issue simple commands of one or two words. The more familiar she is with a person, the more complex her instructions can be. She can only issue 1 instruction per post, every other post. It is up to the player if they want to RP their character having no memory of the mind control or they are aware of their actions but cannot stop themselves. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ The Bond: If someone she is bonded to dies, Aurelia experiences their death, even if beyond the 100-meter range. For example, if the person she was bonded to were to be stabbed in the heart, she would feel the pain of the stabbing and the passing of the person, however, she wouldn't know did it unless she was currently listening to their thoughts. This is quite a traumatic experience. Empathy: She can only try to make a person feel certain emotions. It will be up to the other player how successful she is. If the other person is feeling an emotion too strongly, it may backfire and effect Aurelia instead of her affecting them. Mind Reading: Aurelia is not omnipresent. She cannot simply sense another person's mind or presence. She must know where they are to read it, however, she does not need to maintain a line of sight. If she knows someone is in the next room, she may read their thoughts, but if she is uncertain, she cannot reach out and hope to catch someone else's thoughts. Mind Link: If one person is injured, everyone in the mind link will experience their pain, which depending on the injury could bring the whole team down to its knees. Similarly, if one member of the mind link becomes enraged or full of fear those emotions could overwhelm everyone else connected by the link. Memory Loss: Similar to empathy and manipulation the other player must be willing, to be discussed via DMs. Manipulation: As with empathy, it will be up to the other player how successful Aurelia is. If they do not wish to have their RPC be manipulated, they can have their character break eye contact or otherwise discuss it with me via DMs. Complexity: Aurelia can only use one ability at a time, outside of passives and The Bond. For example, if Mind Link is active, she cannot use her mind-reading to read the enemies' thoughts at the range or manipulate them. One ability must be off cooldown before she can use the next. Example: For level 0 if she uses Empathy for 1 post, she must wait for the 1 post cooldown before she can use Mind Reading. Grimm: While Aurelia can sense the emotions and read the mind of Grimm, any attempt to manipulate those emotions or thoughts will result in backlash. backlash.

Memory Recovery: Remains the same as level 2 Manipulation: At this level, Aurelia gains the ability to manipulate others thoughts. She must make eye contact while issuing commands. If it is someone she has never met she can only issue simple commands of one or two words. The more familiar she is with a person, the more complex her instructions can be. She can only issue 1 instruction per post, every other post. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ The Bond: If someone she is bonded to dies, Aurelia experiences their death, even if beyond the 100-meter range. For example, if the person she was bonded to were to be stabbed in the heart, she would feel the pain of the stabbing and the passing of the person, however, she wouldn't know did it unless she was currently listening to their thoughts. This is quite a traumatic experience, Empathy: She can only try to make a person feel certain emotions. It will be up to the other player how successful she is. If the other person is feeling an emotion too strongly, it may backfire and effect Aurelia instead of her affecting them. Mind Reading: Aurelia is not omnipresent. She can not simply sense another person's mind or presence. She must know where they are to read it, however, she does not need to maintain a line of sight. If she knows someone is in the next room, she may read their thoughts, but if she is uncertain she cannot reach out and hope to catch someone else's thoughts. Mind Link: If one person is injured, everyone in the mind link will experience their pain, which depending on the injury could bring the whole team down to its knees. Similarly, if one member of the mind link becomes enranged or full of fear those emotions could overwhelm everyone else connected by the link. Memory Loss: Similar to empathy and manipulation the other player must be willing, to be discussed via DMs. Manipulation: As with empathy, it will be up to the other player how successful Aurelia is. If they do not wish to have their RPC be manipulated they can have their character break eye contact or otherwise discuss with me via DMs. Complexity: Aurelia can only use one ability at a time, outside of passives and The Bond. For example, if Mind Link is active she cannot use her mind-reading to read the enemies' thoughts at the range or manipulate them. One ability must be off cooldown before she can use the next. Example: For level 0 if she uses Empathy for 1 post, she must wait the 1 post cooldown before she can use Mind Reading.

█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Agility: She can move quickly and easily. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Reflexes: Aurelia has cat-like reflexes, able to react to things in the blink of an eye. █Other Talents ▬ The ability to push through physical pain and continue to fight (Or withstand torture.) -Photographic memory: She is able to recall details almost perfectly, even if she only gets a brief glance at a piece of paper or a room full of people. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Able to read people: Much to the students of Beacon's frustration, Aurelia seems to have the uncanny ability to know when they are up to something, or not being entirely truthful with her. Of course, most people chalk this up to her semblance, thinking it is much more powerful than it really it. █Weakest Skill ▬ Balance: Though Aurelia is unaware of it, the removal of the tail she was born with is the cause of her poor balance. -She is convinced gremlins are following her around, causing most vehicle she gets near to malfunction. Vickers is convinced it is the floofs and won't go near her if at all possible. █Other Skills ▬ Combat with Staves: Aurelia is rather skilled with staves, able to twirl her weapon quickly, block attacks and strike enemies with efficiency. Combat with Bow & Arrow: Aurelia is a great shot, but beyond that has mastered some unconventional means of combat with her compound bow and arrow. Sleight of hand: Aurelia is able to make things appear and vanish from her hands, almost as if into thin air.

She tolerates neither audacity or silliness and is not afraid to speak her mind. She rarely smiles or gives a compliment, but she has been known to show a dry sense of humour. Aurelia usually maintains great emotion composure, as only proper of her station (as she sees it.) That being said, she can be warm and supportive during times of trouble or loss. For all her emotional restraint and coolness, it is clear she cares deeply about the students. While Autrox often annoys her, she also has a certain level of respect for him. █Vernacular ▬ What would be considered a British accent in today's world, she has a clipped, short way of speaking. While firm, she rarely raises her voice. █Positive Traits ▬ Focused, she acts as a counterbalance to their Headmaster and keeps things running relatively smoothly despite Autrox's eccentricities. She is caring even if she often tries to hide that trait. Hardworking. █Negative Traits ▬ Coolness, and often seeming aloof, and overly harsh towards those she sees and cowards or stupid, judgemental.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Born to a rich and powerful family. it was no question that Aurelia was destined for greatness. With the best education money and parents with connections in all the right places, it wasn't a surprise to anyone when Aurelia ended up on the Vale Council. Perhaps only a shadow Minister for now, but that was a feat at her young age. Anyone who was involved with politics expected her to replace Aurtrox one day. That wasn't to say Aurelia was lazy or stupid and the position unearned. Rather she had a reputation for being rather stern, strict and a hard worker. However as often the case with these public positions, it was more about who you knew, rather than what you knew that won the day.
From the outside, it certainly seemed like Aurelia had what many dreamed of. A charmed childhood and a successful career. However, things weren't often as they appeared and sometimes you couldn't even trust your own memory. Unbeknownst to Aurelia, her parents were not her parents. She wasn't even human, but a Faunus stolen from a village when she was a child. The village destroyed and her people slaughtered the night she was stolen. Taken for her Semblance, the Tribe saw the perfect tool to help fulfil their goals. With the help of a man named Zaffere, all of Aurelia's memories about the village, her real parents, the night she was taken and even her Faunus heritage lay locked in some recess of her mind, forgotten. Even amongst the tribe, only a handful of people knew about Aurelia and where she truly came from. Her 'parents', Zafferey, and the highest members of the Tribe who had set it all up.
Aurelia herself doesn't even know her 'parents' are members of the Tribe. They found other ways to use her. A few months into her position as Deputy Headmistress, she was given a peculiar assignment. The Council fears Aurtrox was part of the Crimson Fang and she was to report on his activities.
Aurelia was promoted to Shadow Minister and Deputy Headmistress one year before the RP started. Before that, she worked in the department of education developing the curriculum for not only Beacon but the other schools in Vale.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Shadowsong █ ▬ A lightweight carbon fibre staff that transforms into a compound bow. Black in colour. █Melee Form ▬ A carbon fibre staff 6ft in length with a slot in the centre where a dust cartridge can be placed. The dust will charge either end of the staff with the corresponding element. Dust last for 3 strikes, regardless of if a person or object is hit. It takes one post to change the cartridge. █Ranged Form ▬ A Compound Bow, which has an effective range of 25 to 55 meters. While it has a max range (the furthest an arrow will fly) of 240 meters, the chances of her actually hitting a specific target at that distance are extremely low. (i.e., she could shoot into a herd of beowolves from that far away and probably hit one as they are packed together, but would very likely miss an individual) █Other Form(s) ▬ The staff folds in half for easier carrying when not in combat. █Ammo Type ▬ Physical █ ▬ Small spaces: Fighting in small rooms or tight corridors make it difficult to use her staff effectively, as it limits her ability to swing it around and may block the hallway preventing allies from aiding her.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Quiver with 40 arrows. The magnetic bottom prevents arrows from falling out easily while in combat. █ ▬ 4 dust arrows █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Fountain Pen █ ▬

█*NAME ▬ Insight █*AURA COLOR ▬ Purple █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ This telepathic based semblance focuses on reading and manipulating the mind as described in the levels below. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts) The Bond: At this level, Aurelia can form a telepathic bond with one person. When she is within 20 meters of this person, she can hear their thoughts and they hers. From 20 to 100 meters, she can feel their emotions and know if they are injured. Beyond 100 meters the other individual becomes a vague sense of another presence in the back of the mind. Aurelia would be able to point in the direction they are, but little else. With a bit of practice, one can learn how to push the other to the back of their mind, silencing the other's voice while allowing them to eavesdrop, or muting their emotions. The further step can be taken to mask the bond completely, shutting the other person out except for the vague sense of their presence as if they were suddenly more than 100 meters away. To form this bond, Aurelia must physically touch the person and they must willingly receive it. If they resist or reject the bond their aura will protect them from the connection. (Forming the bond takes about 30 seconds of physical contact, but for RP purposes I won't put a post count, as to avoid writing 3 posts about characters sitting there doing nothing while she makes the bond.) The bond is permanent until removed by Aurelia or the other individual. If the other individual decides they no longer want the bond after it is formed, their aura will eat at it until dissolved. This process will take 30 seconds or 3 posts, the same as forming the bond. Empathy: Aurelia can feel and experiences the emotions of those within 1.5 meters of herself. It is involuntary and as a result, she often stands apart from others. When her semblance is activated Aurelia, the range increases 10 meters. She must be physically touching the person to manipulate those emotions in any way, though it does not need to be skin contact. (She can have her gloves on or touch them over clothing and armour.) She can maintain this for 3 posts before becoming overwhelmed with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 3 posts. Mind Reading: Aurelia can read the thoughts of others through simple touch. It is limited to the thoughts currently passing through the person's mind and must be skin contact. Aurelia often wears gloves to avoid accidental mind reading. When her semblance is active, she can read the thoughts of others for up to 5 meters away from herself for 3 posts. In combat, this gives her an edge against close-range fighters as she knows what they are going to do as soon as they think of it. Limited to 1 person or Grimm within range with a 2-post cooldown per active use for a max of 6 post cooldown. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 10 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 1 person or Grimm within that range for up to 4 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 4 posts. The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: At this level, when her semblance is activated, she can now read thoughts of others up to 10 meters away for a maximum of 4 posts. Limited to 1 person or Grimm within range with a 2-post cooldown per active use for a max of 8 post cooldown. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged. Mind Link: At this level, Aurelia's growth with mind-reading and the bond have allowed her to learn a new ability. To form a temporary bond between individuals allowing those whose minds are linked to all communicate telepathically. The mind link can be formed between 3 willing participants, in addition to Aurelia, for a maximum of 6 posts. Similar to the bond, if they are not willing their aura will protect them from the mind link being formed. It has a maximum range of 20 meters from Aurelia's location before the link is lost with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 6 posts. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 15 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 2 people or Grimm within that range for up to 5 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum of 5 posts. The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: Aurelia's mind-reading abilities have improved once again to allow her to experience memories with a physical touch on semblance activation. For simple mind-reading, her range has improved to 15 meters for a maximum of 5 posts with a cooldown of 1 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 5 posts. Limited to 2 people or Grimm. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged. Mind Link: While still limited to 3 people, the mind link has an improved range of 30 meters for a maximum of 8 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 4 posts. (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts) Memory Recovery: Aurelia's mind-reading ability has developed to where she can find memories that were perhaps once lost or locked away in the mind and recover them. She must make skin on skin contact for 2 posts with a 2-post cooldown. This could include forgotten dreams, PTSD, psychological manipulation, or things forgotten with the use of a semblance, or things simply forgotten with the passage of time. Memories may come back all at once or may come back in fragments and might take several sessions to be fully recovered. The memory is experienced almost like a slide show or movie playing out in front of both Aurelia and the other person.(Up to the RPer if they want it back all at once or in fragments. The two-post count may be waived by the other person to avoid writing about doing nothing, similar to forming the bond) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) The Bond: The Bond remains unchanged from level 0 Empathy: At this level, Aurelia is now able to manipulate emotions at a range of 20 meters as well as feel them while her semblance is active. Manipulation is limited to 3 people or Grimm within that range for up to 6 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum of 3 posts. (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts) The passive 1.5 meters remain unchanged. Mind Reading: Here her range increases to 20 meters with maximum use of 6 posts with a cooldown of 1 post peruse for a maximum cooldown of 6 posts (Round up if the semblance is active for an odd number of posts). Limited to 3 people or Grimm. The passive of reading thoughts on skin contact remains unchanged as does the physical touch required to see memories. Mind Link: While still limited to 3 people, the mind link has an improved range of 40 meters for a maximum of 10 posts with a cooldown of 1/2 post per active use for a maximum cooldown of 5 posts. Memory Recovery: Remains the same as level 2. Manipulation: At this level, Aurelia gains the ability to manipulate others' thoughts. She must make eye contact while issuing commands. If it is someone, she has never met she can only issue simple commands of one or two words. The more familiar she is with a person, the more complex her instructions can be. She can only issue 1 instruction per post, every other post. It is up to the player if they want to RP their character having no memory of the mind control or they are aware of their actions but cannot stop themselves. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ The Bond: If someone she is bonded to dies, Aurelia experiences their death, even if beyond the 100-meter range. For example, if the person she was bonded to were to be stabbed in the heart, she would feel the pain of the stabbing and the passing of the person, however, she wouldn't know did it unless she was currently listening to their thoughts. This is quite a traumatic experience. Empathy: She can only try to make a person feel certain emotions. It will be up to the other player how successful she is. If the other person is feeling an emotion too strongly, it may backfire and effect Aurelia instead of her affecting them. Mind Reading: Aurelia is not omnipresent. She cannot simply sense another person's mind or presence. She must know where they are to read it, however, she does not need to maintain a line of sight. If she knows someone is in the next room, she may read their thoughts, but if she is uncertain, she cannot reach out and hope to catch someone else's thoughts. Mind Link: If one person is injured, everyone in the mind link will experience their pain, which depending on the injury could bring the whole team down to its knees. Similarly, if one member of the mind link becomes enraged or full of fear those emotions could overwhelm everyone else connected by the link. Memory Loss: Similar to empathy and manipulation the other player must be willing, to be discussed via DMs. Manipulation: As with empathy, it will be up to the other player how successful Aurelia is. If they do not wish to have their RPC be manipulated, they can have their character break eye contact or otherwise discuss it with me via DMs. Complexity: Aurelia can only use one ability at a time, outside of passives and The Bond. For example, if Mind Link is active, she cannot use her mind-reading to read the enemies' thoughts at the range or manipulate them. One ability must be off cooldown before she can use the next. Example: For level 0 if she uses Empathy for 1 post, she must wait for the 1 post cooldown before she can use Mind Reading. Grimm: While Aurelia can sense the emotions and read the mind of Grimm, any attempt to manipulate those emotions or thoughts will result in backlash. backlash.
