hearing + mood matrix permissions post;

[psycholawgy]

Hello!

Athena has a heightened sense of hearing, which makes her able to hear discord in people's voices. Another way of describing her ability is that she can hear people's hearts. Basically, if you are capable of feeling any emotion, she will be able to tell if what you said matches with what you felt at that time.

To help her with her ability, she uses the Mood Matrix, a program that can be accessed through her robot necklace. The above screencap shows what an unactivated Mood Matrix screen looks like.

The Mood Matrix shows visuals of a person's memories. On each corner of the Mood Matrix's screen are four different emotions: happiness, anger, sadness, and shock (from top (left-right) to bottom (left-right). These emotion icons light up depending on what emotions Athena is able to hear. Eg. you're very angry at someone, but you smile and say "It's okay", the angry icon will start blinking red.

As for any repressed memories, Athena would be able to sense it, but not know what it could be.

She doesn't always use the Mood Matrix—only on official business—but not using it doesn't turn off her heightened senses. It's only a way of visualising what she's hearing.

Please comment to this post if:
a) you are okay with Athena being able to pick up your character/s voice/s*, and
b) Athena can use the Mood Matrix on your character if/when the situation comes up ICly. **
* If you're fine with this, any emotion you put within action brackets will be heard by her.
** Please let me know what memories, emotions, and whatnot your character might be feeling/thinking. Likewise, if you'd like Athena to help them out with their issues, then comment here and we can plot!

Thanks for reading this!

I am giving blanket permission for all of my girls-- so Seri, Yang, and this one. Go wild, Athena.

[allthreefourths]

also giving blanket permission for both a and b! that's for this guy here and milla (souperb).

[niceguypose]

I am okay with all of those things!

[prosecutory]

"analytical psychology" my foot

I AM OKAY WITH THIS but would you really still want to press the issue after seeing this face

[souredsweet]

blanket permission for Kaoru, Oz and Naoi! though as a heads up it may be a little tough for her to hear discord in kaoru sometimes because he's a borderline sociopath, good work kaoru

[dereban]

I am definitely alright with all of this!

[swordboning]

wow I give total permission to ruin Archer's shit

[psycholawgy]

I've only seen the F/SN anime once in my life and that was back in 2007...??? 2008 i'm old so you'll have to link me stuff or mouth feed me whatever info you want me to use on him :/b

[swordboning]

Don't worry, I'll fill you in as it goes.

[masakados]

I'm okay with this so go wild! I don't know if it'll ever come up down the line, but for Hinata (particularity) or Elza (lionly) it's cool too.

[codere]

Rin is so going to hack this later.

Anyway generalized permission for this character and any of the others I may app in the future.

[psycholawgy]

I should have responded to this sooner, but I think it'd be fun to have Widget hacked at some point! It gets signal jammed sometimes that it can't detect anything, if that helps any.

Anyway, if you'd like to do it, let me know! Because Athena would be so miserable if/when that happens.

[codere]

Come on Athena, what if she makes Widget better as a result?!

But yes it could be fun :D

[punches]

As a heads up, I brought in a second character.

Sakura is a lot like Rin, just less bratty and harbors some strong unrequited love towards her teammate. Since she's coming in from a war directly, she'll be a bit more strung out in her emotions.

[psycholawgy]

Collects all the tsunderes...

[punches]

I have a type considering the third character I wanted to bring in is a war torn teenager who pretty much is a tsundere now. Soon you'll have an army.

All played by me.

Stares.

[psycholawgy]

I think they should all just mesh together into a giant tsundere warchild.

[stagewright]

obviously she can do this all she wants with trucy! feel free to do it with andraia, too.

[ukakus]

giving permission for both a) and b) with touka over here!

[sugarcoats]

Go nuts /o/

[bropane]

Just like Yogi amirite

[sugarcoats]

SO MEAN

[notsosolo]

She can use it on Han. It's not like all the most important people in his life including some who are barely out of diapers don't do something similar anyway. :p

[psycholawgy]

POOR HAN...

[faithfulflame]

full permission, by the way. The Mars stuff is off limits, but nothing else.
