GENERAL
Character Name: Dr. Temperance Brennan
Species (human/alien/vampire/other?): Human
Extra-human/abnormal abilities, if any?: None, unless a genius-level IQ counts
PSYCHOLOGY
1. Is it okay for your character's thoughts to be read/their mind to be probed?
Yes.
2. Is it okay for any of your character’s intense/distressing memories to be seen/heard/read in this situation?
Yes, everything down to her parents disappearing, her brother leaving, the abuse she went through in the foster system, being abducted several times, and so on and so on... it's all free game.
3. What kind of mind does your character have? Are they disturbed at all? Are their thoughts ordered or jumbled?
Brennan is always thinking about something - likely something scientific and complicated - but her mind is a very neat, very ordered place. Only when she's perturbed by some emotional upheaval will her thoughts be more jumbled.
4. Is it okay for your character’s emotions to be sensed?
Very okay.
5. Does your character have a weak or strong mind? Are they susceptible to influence or hypnotism?
Strong mind (headstrong, actually), but she can be manipulated/influenced somewhat by appealing to her rational, logical side. Hypnotism I'm not sure about, likely depends if it's enhanced by some supernatural effect etc. or not. She's so skeptical it'll probably be a chore.
6. Does your character have supernatural/mental fortification against mind-reading or telepathic communication?
No.
7. In the case of characters who are extra-sentient/psychic and can just 'know' things about people, can the muns of these characters use the powers of Wikipedia to get information about your character?
Absolutely!
8. If so, is there anything that should absolutely never ever be brought up?
No, I welcome everything thrown at me.
9. Anything that should absolutely be brought up?
Nothing specific, everything is free game.
10. Will thoughts in the narration be up for grabs? If so, how will you indicate these? Italics/strikes/something else?
They absolutely are, and I will indicate them in italics.
11. Does your character have any fears/phobias that you wouldn't mind being exploited? Ones that you'd like to NOT be exploited?
As stated before, everything is free game! Brennan has an intense fear of abandonment and issues with trust, but as for more tangible fears, she's irrationally afraid of snakes. They smell with their tongue, okay?
PHYSIOLOGY
1. Is it okay for your character to be affected by chemical agents? Fear toxins, for example?
Yes.
2. Does your character have any unique biological difference that would affect their resistance to toxins/chemical substances?
No.
3. Does your character have any notable genetic/supernatural/biological difference that would make their blood in any way different to a regular baseline human's (that would make them taste different if they were fed on by a vampire, for example)?
No.
PHYSICAL
1. How okay are you with your character coming to physical harm?
Very okay, because I'm horrible. But ask first and iron out the details with me.
2. How okay are you with your character's home/possessions being targeted by bad guys?
See above.
3. Can your character be impacted by telekinesis?
Yes, I don't see why not.
4. With regard to vampires, would your character be willing to be a donor?
Probably not. Depends on the vampire and her relationship with them.
5. If no, then how about unwilling?
Sure, but she won't go down without a fight. Ask first, though.
6. With regard to shapeshifters, are you okay with having those with this power taking the shape of your character?
That would be crack. Yes!
7. If your character has any superhuman abilities, would you be okay with these being replicated by those who have the power to absorb/take on the powers of others?
N/A
8. In a physical confrontation, is it okay if characters who have the power to sense/foresee/predict movements use this to their advantage against your character?
Yes.
9. Are you willing to participate in plots where your character will sustain damage outside of a fight, such as in situations with torture, environmental hazards, or accidents?
Oh, for sure! Just let me know first.
10. Is there anything about them that would stand out noticeably (things like scars, physical augmentations, illness, anomalies, etc.) if they were ever injured or otherwise examined by a doctor? Are any of these things noticeable to others without close inspection?
Nothing significant.
MAGICS
1. Can your character be influenced and tempted by magical or supernatural means?
Yes.
2. If yes, will someone with the ability be able to find this out about them, and in what areas (think the seven deadly sins) can your character be tempted?
Pride (she's one of those "too proud to beg", "I'm right and you're wrong" types) and envy (not of material things, but of emotional connections etc.) would be her worst sins.
3. Could your character be glamoured (a form of mind control employed by vampires to make humans compliant/alter their memories etc.)?
Yes.
4. Can your character be effected by spells of any kind, and are there any specific types to which they would be immune?
Yes she can, and probably not.
5. Can your character's presence be sensed by characters with the power to read auras/pick up generalized vibes from people?
Yes.
6. If yes, what kind of stand-out things about your character can be sensed?
Probably her introverted state of mind, her mental walls, if you will. Maybe her "lack" of fear, as well - she can be pretty ballsy sometimes because she just doesn't think about her own welfare too much.
7. With regard to characters that can sense danger/receive visions/predict general doom, are you okay with your character being the subject of any of this, if the occasion arises?
Absolutely!
PRIVACY
1. Will your character change their name as it is shown on the map? If so, what will they change it to?
No.
2. If they’re able, will they ever opt to hide their location on the map?
I doubt it. Technology isn't her strongest suit, someone would have to do it for her.
3. If your character is from an earlier point in their canon than another member of your cast, what is and is not okay for your fellow castmate to spill the beans about regarding your character’s future?
N/A currently, but I'm okay with anything to be spilled out in case such a situation ever arises. We can talk.
4. With regard to characters that like to snoop, can they find anything that's been publicly said by your character through the tablets?
Yes.
5. How about privately?
Very likely yes. Check with me first, please.
6. Is there anything you'd especially like to be known about your character, for the purposes of amusement?
Thanks to having no social tact, she's very blunt and shameless about topics that are normally considered somewhat no-no's in everyday conversations, such as sex. More provided upon asking!
7. Anything you especially don't?
Nothing that I can think of.
8. Do you like threadhopping (a character not already in a thread jumping in unexpectedly to reply to a comment), and are you okay with other people threadhopping in your threads and posts?
I don't make a habit out of threadhopping, usually only getting involved if there's something directly concerning Brennan or something that really, really interests her, and ascertain first that the other person is cool with it. I'm very okay with people threadhopping my threads/posts, though! I welcome it, in fact, so go nuts.
If you have any additional questions etc. please feel free to leave a comment on this post. I'll gladly elaborate/plot/make you coffee/whatever. :)
