OOC. [ PLAYER ] [ AGE ] 32 [ TIMEZONE ] EST [ BACKTAGGING ] Sure, sounds good. [ GAG TAGGING ] Love a good gagtag [ THREADJACKING ] Depends on what's being jacked. Open network conversations are fine but don't come crashing into an important, emotional thread with pizza or something. If in doubt, ask. [ FOURTHWALLING ] Prefer not. [ ACTION VS PROSE ] No preference. I'll usually match. [ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS ] None. Come at me. [ CONTACT ] IC. [ CHARACTER ] [ CANON ] Mistborn [ AGE ] 17-18. [ RACE ] Human - Scadrian [ GENDER ] Female [ SEXUALITY ] Straight [ OCCUPATION ] Mistborn. Think a superpowered assassin spy. [ POWERSET ] Allomancy [ HUGGING ] Varies. Vin's very standoffish and avoids physical contact so she'll probably react badly if our characters aren't close enough. [ KISSING ] See above but expect a much worse reaction if she's not close with your character. [ FLIRTING ] Go right ahead. Vin will most likely not respond if she doesn't outright brush it off. [ RELATIONSHIPS ] Friendships, found families is wonderful, parental and mentor figures, Vin playing older sister or mentor to somebody else to flip that around, people she can watch over and protect, enemies whether through ideals or sides. [ SHIPPING ] This one's tricky as Vin is still in love with Elend from back home but I'm not going to hold out for a castmate from this series. It'll be a slow burn but I'm open to talking it over. [ SMUT ] See above. I'm open to it but it'll be a long or dramatic road for Vin to reach that point with somebody. [ FIGHTING/VIOLENCE ] Goes without saying. Vin's an absolute fighter and will take on anybody. [ INJURY ] Open to it. I'd prefer to talk over any severe injuries first. [ DEATH ] No. [ MIND-READING/CONTROL ] Mind-reading is fine with some heads up. Vin has an ability that can interfere with mental effects and that way I can also provide some surface thoughts/feelings to be detected. Mind-control is a no unless discussed beforehand. [ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS ] Issues of physical abuse, abandonment, betrayal, people being exploited or hurt by their governments. See also this post for a special opt-out on her powers. FIRST IMPRESSIONS. [ VISUAL ] Small is probably the first on the list of visual impressions. Vin is tiny, barely reaching five feet in height and maybe ninety-eight pounds soaking wet, fairly clearly as a result of malnourishment as a child to anyone who knows what to look for. Her eyes and hair are dark, with the former just growing to a length where it brushes the top of her shoulders. When burning pewter (which is almost always) Vin moves with an odd, unnatural grace and smoothness that marks her as something beyond what she appears. [ AURAL ] During her childhood Vin has become very skilled at moving as quietly as possible, her footfalls are quiet and she makes effort not to make too much noise when she moves making her quite gifted at stealth. Her voice as well is low and quiet, sometimes just barely above a whisper and is always measured and controlled, giving away very little of the emotions behind what she has to say. When she does raise her voice it's usually a fairly dramatic moment. [ FASHION ] Vin's general style is very muted and nondescript. She favors plain clothes of muted colors and functional design that allows for freedom of movement. When possible she'll wear clothes that blend in to the time and place she's in and will make an effort to match that style and blend in to hide in plain sight. That said, she does have a weakness for extravagant and pretty clothes although she keeps that a closely guarded secret. She very rarely wears any kind of jewelry but will occasionally experiment with more colorful clothes and styles, scents and decoration. [ DEMEANOR ] Vin is standoffish and distant, generally hanging back and sticking to the background, rarely speaking up or voicing her opinion unless she feels she has something to say. When she does, she's blunt and direct to the point. She almost unconsciously keeps everyone around her at arm's reach, literally standing just out of where she can be easily reached and often shifts back from even incidental contact with others. When she's sitting still she usually curls up, trying to appear as small as possible and often seeks out the highest spot in a room showing a tendency to "perch" in a place where she can easily survey the room. One thing that's immediately clear about her is her watchfulness. Vin is always watching and keeping tabs on her surroundings and has an uncanny knack for keeping tabs on the comings and goings of nearly everybody in a room or building. |

Allomancy Opt-Out
Mar. 14th, 2011 08:28 pmVin has two powers that can directly affect a person's emotion in the form of zinc and brass. Zinc gives her the power to Riot a person's emotions, intensifying them while brass Soothes emotions, muting them and when boosted by duralumin can temporarily overwhelm a person's emotions or flatten them out entirely. Characters with strong wills can resist this effect and mental barriers can hold it off entirely.
This does not give Vin the ability to control a character, merely influence their emotional state. A person being affected by emotional Allomancy is otherwise in complete control of their minds and reactions and Vin cannot otherwise direct or command them in any way.
However, if you'd rather not have your character influenced like that at all feel free to leave an opt out comment. Or if you have any questions about these powers go ahead and ask away here too.
