Stuff Your Character Can Do to My Character

In general, I'm fine with nearly anything. I'd appreciate being asked about anything that might have long lasting effects (or be particularly godmoddy). For all things, PMs and AIM are good contact methods. Or you can just drop an OOC request into your post while threading.

Deimonea doesn't actually exist physically and as such she'd have to be 'killed' by destroying her pendant. If your character's sensitive to psychic entities, you might notice her as one--she only bothers masking herself when she wants to be sneaky.

Importantly, powers that result in deep mental contact (such as mind reading) will find that her mind's labyrinthine and filled with nightmarish imagery as well as generally just kinda weird. It's not quite a sanity-blasting experience, but it's generally unpleasant to most people. Feel free to have your character flinch away at the initial contact if you don't want to expose them to too much horror. Empathy-type powers and other such casual mental contact, on the other hand, will just get creepy impressions.

Stuff My Character Can Do to Your Character

She can travel into and through dreams freely and reshape them at will. In general, it'd take someone with powerful mental defenses to shut her completely out of a dream. But she generally moves on to easier targets if serious opposition arises--she's lazy like that. She doesn't exactly enter or mess with every single dream so you can easily have her skip over yours or enter but not bother messing with it.

She can also pull others into dreams even if they're awake, essentially creating illusions. They feel real even to the touch, but can be broken out of like snapping yourself awake from a dream. But even if they feel real, they can't actually do any physical harm (though they might leave you vulnerable or lead you into a bad situation).

Because of her nature as a Nightmare, she will generally sense when others're feeling fear and closely related emotions and can understand the details of that fear (things like what they're feeling afraid about, etc.). With deeper digging, she can discover a person's hidden fears, though she usually only bothers when planning to subject them to nightmares.

I'll generally ask before messing with a character too much. But you can answer here in advance if there're anything you want or don't want happening to your character or if there's anything else you want me to know (things she might notice, particular defenses against her abilities they'd have, etc.)
