Information Permissions Post
With gods, psychics, and rabid fangirls roaming our community ICly, the questions arise: how much of another character's canon does a character have access to? Are there things a player would rather keep under wraps? And are there things that omniscients should know about your character?
Please respond to this post with any information characters should know ICly (for example, if they can read minds) or that you'd prefer to keep secret (like your character's alter-ego).
When in doubt, the best rule of thumb is to contact a player before making any revelations about their characters. Sure, your character reads manga and knows that Light is Kira -- but maybe the mun wants to try and keep it under wraps.
Still have a question? Ask a mod!

Player AIM: dreamoflife02
Character: Itsuki Koizumi
Character Journal:
Information: Him being an esper
Accessible to: Anyone that has leet hacking skills would probably get some hints from his private entries. Anyone who can sense psychic abilities or magic powers or something that meets him in RL-- maybe, IM me about that, his powers are kinda funky.
Please contact mun before: Actually divulging his esper-ness is a major no-no no matter what. Poking him about it is perfectly fine, asking him about it in a locked post is perfectly fine, but the major thing is that Haruhi can't under any circumstances find out.
Character: Nena Trinity
Character Journal:
Information: Her being a gundam pilot, and not exactly quite human
Accessible to: Celestial Being and the rest of Trinity are the only ones who know this. Psychics please ask!
Please contact mun before: Revealing anything along these lines publically. Granted she's pretty free with the information, but it would be a problem if someone just blanket announced it to everyone.
Tamaki and Yoko have no deep dark secrets, and Mitsuru isn't particularly trying to keep anything a secret. I'm not a fan of straight-up fourth walling though, so please don't tell them they're fictional unless the topic somehow comes up in conversation.
no subject
Player AIM: dragoon1940
Character: Asuka Langley Soryu
Character Journal:
Information: Her deep-seated psychological issues regarding attaching herself to people and her parents (i.e. her feelings regarding the suicide of her mother, her refusal to cry, why she's so aggressive), her attraction to and actual like of Shinji.
Accessible to: Telepaths, omniscients, Gods, people from a world with the fictional version of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Please contact mun before: Actually getting this information out or confonting her about it.
no subject
Player AIM: samriprosecutor
Character: Miles Edgeworth
Character Journal:
Information: Daddy issues liek whoa; PTSD; a psychotic ex-mentor/adopted father; and the earlier years of his career involved convictions gained through less-than-ethical means, wherein not all of the defendants were guilty. For more details, see here.
Accessible to: Psychics, gods, anyone with access to the Phoenix Wright game series.
Please contact mun before: I'm all for pinging Edgeworth's trauma buttons, but please ask before revealing any information about exactly why Edgeworth carries so much guilt, namely the whole 'getting convictions on people who were innocent' bit.
no subject
Player AIM: nonesodangerous
Character: Shiro
Character Journal:
Information: He doesn't have much in the way of secrets. :|b He's a cat demon, he can fly, he eats people (very rarely), he has a habit of dying and coming back. Really, he'll tell you any of this. It's no problem if you know it.
Accessible to: Without speaking to him: anyone who could get hold of manga published in 1999. Gods/omniscients/psychics.
Please contact mun before: Nnnnothing in particular, actually. Everything's fair game.
Character: Schrödinger
Character Journal:
Information: Again, Schro doesn't really have any secrets. He's everywhere and nowhere at once, dead and alive at the same time, so basically, he is hax. He's also a Nazi, an experiment, and a rather nasty person underneath the cute exterior. Although he tries to maintain his innocent appearance, he won't particularly care if you spill things about him. After all, he knows everything about you (with mun permission, of course).
Accessible to: Anyone who can get hold of the Hellsing manga/OVA series. ...the dates escape me right now, so look them up if you're not sure if your character would know them yet. :'D Also, gods/omniscients/psychics.
Please contact mun before: Nothing much, really. HOWEVER, this is subject to change if he suddenly gets involved with a plot, and I reserve the right to change this at any time.
Character: Tieria Erde
Character Journal:
Information: Oh god, where do I start. Tieria has a lot of secrets. He's not a student, he's one of Celestial Being's Gundam Meisters, which roughly makes him Public Enemy Number One along with his comrades on his world. He pilots Gundam Virtue (more commonly known to the UN Forces as Giant). He is mostly located on the Ptolemaios, Celestial Being's Gundam Carrier Ship. The ship is virtually unfindable unless you already know where it is, so there won't be any surprise visits, thank you. Oh, and that Public Enemy Number One thing? Yeah, he's a terrorist, pretty much. You don't want to see his kill count.
His knack for computers? Is not exactly part of some family heritage, as he might tell you. In fact, Tieria is not human. What he precisely is isn't known yet, but it's a safe bet that he's some sort of organic artificial human, with electronic implants in his brain and eyes. The ridiculous feats of hacking he seems to accomplish are not through any real skill of his own, but rather using the enormous processing power of Veda, Celestial Being's supercomputer. And as for his thoughts on Veda, it is more or less everything to him. God, boss, mother and only friend.
Accessible to: Technically, anyone who could watch Gundam 00. Other CB members know the first paragraph, but nobody except Tieria and Veda (and [SPOILERS]) know the second part. However, Blackout, Motoko and Eros know that Tieria isn't human, and Motoko knows that he is definitely not a student. Gods and omniscients would know, but I don't know if psychics can read robots. :|b Also, it's okay for characters to put two and two together and realise that Tieria is really not normal, but try and make it...realistic? Preferably only characters he speaks to a lot, or if he makes a massive slip-up.
Please contact mun before: You reveal anything. Even a locked comment to Tieria mentioning this stuff will cause him to flip out. Chances are we can work with something, but please, please, please, ask me first. I'm open to characters finding out, but I'd still like to talk about it beforehand.
Character: Uzuki Yashiro
Character Journal:
Information: Harrier Reaper (see Koki Kariya), but doesn't have any secrets, really. Oh, and she's dead. But that's not a problem, really.
Accessible to: Gods and omniscients, but psychics can't read Reapers.
Please contact mun before: ...nothing, really. She's got no bother about telling people she's a Reaper, and that's the only thing of note about her.
no subject
Player AIM: Andrusi
Character: Karen Minazuki
Character Journal:
Information: Is a magical girl with water powers (Cure Aqua) and four allies--so this doesn't get too long-winded, just contact if you need details. Also knows Kaito's secret identity, but you'd want Styx's permission for that, not mine.
Accessible to: Mind readers, anyone who actually sees her transform (of course), and people who live on a normal Earth around 2007-2008 and would logically be knowledgeable about Sunday morning anime aimed at little girls (or have reason to research them online).
Please contact mun before: Making any public reference to Karen being Cure Aqua (or any other Yes! Pretty Cure 5 character's identity, since it's really not a difficult connection to make). Talking about Cure Aqua in a way that doesn't involve her identity is fine.
Character: Eve
Character Journal:
Information: Nothing secret, really, but posting just in case.
Accessible to: Very skilled hackers.
Please contact mun before: Exposing any of these hypothetical secrets that don't exist yet.
Character: Protoman
Character Journal:
Information: He's a robot. He's got a built-in plasma cannon, and the ability to scan and (to an extent) reproduce technology, mainly weapons. He's working for the bad guys. He actually feels grateful to Dr. Wily for saving his life at one point. He'd rather be fighting alongside Mega Man than against him.
Accessible to: For the robot thing, the weapon thing, and the bad guy thing, people who are familiar with the cartoon will know, and people familiar with the video games (or from Bass's world) can guess, but he's not really secretive about any of these. Feelings are for omnisicents and people he tells only.
Please contact mun before: Nothing, really. Go for it.
no subject
Player AIM: ZieglerFan719
Character: Princess Azula
Character Journal:
Information: She doesn't have any huge secrets, but she is not a trusting person (nor is she by any means trustworthy), and therefore often keeps things guarded. She's also a very skilled liar (canonly she can lie without any emotional or physical symptoms- heartbeat/pulse quickening out of nervousness or guilt, etc- so she could easily pass a lie detector test that relies on that sort of thing), though obviously, common sense can reveal a lie in some cases ("Why, of course I wouldn't use any technology/weapons you give me to further my country's goal of world domination! :D :D").
Accessible to: Anyone with that sort of power. I'm fine with psychics and the like- since she's not used to dealing with them (and has never really expected to encounter one), she hasn't bothered to learn how to guard her mind against them (she's paranoid, but not *that* paranoid), and so her thoughts/feelings would basically be an open book. If your character's a psychic and you want them to know what she's *really* thinking as she's talking to them (for your guy's personal knowledge, so they can screw around with her, whatever), just tell me and I'll be happy to oblige.
Please contact mun before: Fourth-wall breakage. I'm generally fine with the concept, but I'd rather handle it on a case-by-case basis.
Character: Lisa Rowe
Character Journal:
Information: No big secrets. I guess the most important would be that she's a sociopath, and has fairly shallow/confused emotions- and while she'll readily volunteer this information, she generally doesn't let on that it annoys/bothers her more than she says it does.
Accessible to: Same basic idea as in Azula's permissions. *lol lazy*
Please contact mun before: Fourth-wall breakage.
Character: Harriet Frankovitch.
Character Journal:
Information: Nothing big.
Accessible to: See above. *laaaazy*
Please contact mun before: Fourth-wall breakage- though in this character's case, I'll probably say no, just because (pfft, it's not like anyone's seen the movie anyway XD).

Player AIM: thinkhive
Character: Hok'Ton Karakael
Character Journal:
Information: He's a former Inquestor, ruled the Galaxy for five hundred years, has a bunch of adopted childsoldier bodyguards, committed suicide to rid the Dispersal of Man of the Inquests disease (and convinced a bunch of other people to follow him). He has a rather nasty backstory that he tried to repress for most of his Inquestoral life. It was revealed in a way that was even more emotionally scarring, and he still hasn't quite forgiven Vara for it. He also can't have children, or age. And he was responsible for the destruction of quite a few planets during his reign.
Accessible to: Psychics and gods, any one he's expressly spoken to about it, as well as anyone who could logically find a copy of The Throne of Madness.
Please contact mun before: Doing a big reveal about his backstory. Not only does it touch on basically everything in the 'sensitive subjects' post, it also would be extremely traumatizing for the character.
As a side note: Karakael prescribes to the 'World as a Myth' philosophy. So feel free to break the fourth wall around him.
Character: Kabuto
Character Journal:
Information: Sound nin, top quality spy, currently on the run, is slowly turning into Orochimaru.
Accessible to: Psychics, gods, anyone he's spoken to about it/taken shelter from, some of the Naruto caste.
Please contact mun before: Revealing that he's turning into his Master. No problem with fourth-wall-breakage, he's aware he's in a manga, but doesn't particularly care.
Character: Himiko
Character Journal:
Information: She's one of the Last Children, has been on the run since a young child, saw her brother killed by Ban, is an expert at poisons and perfumes,
has a slight crush on AkabaneAccessible to: Gods, psychics. Anyone who's seen her fight, or could logically have access to her cannon.
Please contact mun before: Mentioning either the bit about the Last Children or her relationship with her partner. No breaking the fourth wall either, it would probably disturb the poor girl to no end.
The Visitor has no secrets; she finds them pointless.
no subject
Player AIM: ColorKidLalaPink
Character: Misumi Nagisa/Cure Black
Character Journal:
Information: Nagisa is a magical girl who beats up monsters and friendship-beams them to death. She cannot transform or use friendship beams without her partner and their cell phone mascots.
Accessible to: Omniscients; anyone who would be in the position to know a popular Japanese kids' show from 2004.
Please contact mun before: Spoiling future events for her.
no subject
Player AIM: icewhiz02
Character: Denzel Crocker
Character Journal:
Information: Mostly just how Crocker lost his fairies and his memory when he was a child and then as canon goes on, any other times he takes over fairy world, etc and then has a memory wipe. All outlined HERE (http://catchthefairies.livejournal.com/572.html) ~ when the memory wipes occur, also a note, most of this hadn't happened yet. Since I set Crocker just before the first movie Abra Catastrophe at the moment.
Accessible to: Just omniscients since Crocker doesn't ever recall most of these things happening.
Please contact mun before: Spoiling things that will happen in the future and the location of the Crocker Cave.
no subject
Character: Linka
Character Journal:
Information: She was chosen by the spirit of the earth to fight crazy people who live to pollute and cause wars and basically wreck stuff.
Accessible to: Anyone; she's pretty open about it. All Anglophone 90's children are highly encouraged to fourth-wall her.
Please contact mun before: Meh, do anything.
Character: Midorikawa Retasu
Character Journal:
Information: She was selected without her knowledge for a genetic experiment, turning her into a magical porpoisegirl. Upon her introduction into the game, her new powers had given her an identity crisis and her fear that someone would find out drove her to attack everyone who tried, creating an urban legend in her world about a hostile ghost at her school. Later, she joins up with fellow experiments to become a magical girl team fighting pointy-eared aliens and mutant monsters.
Accessible to: Anyone who sees her transform; anyone who sees her using her auxiliary powers without transforming (water control, glowing green); anyone who would have been around from 2000-2002 in a regular Earth and had access to her manga/show.
Please contact mun before: Revealing her identity to the comm, at least before she stabilizes.
no subject
Player AIM: n/a (PM me!)
Character: Gellert Grindelwald
Character Journal:
Information: Him being a wizard or that there's a whole wizarding world hidden away.
Accessible to: Other magical people from his world. Other worlds that know of the Harry Potter books/films. He can block his mind to a certain degree but won't do that unless he's feeling threatened so beings that can read thoughts can likely see most of his.
Please contact mun before: Actually my only no-nos are none of the extreme stuff such as killing, etc, without OOC permissions. Gellert is very open and isn't going to often hide what he is or where he's from. He did want the Statute of Secrecy removed in his world, after all. So he won't care if you spread it around that he's a wizard. Also fourth walling is totally OK! He can take it. XD
no subject
Player AIM: noyuichan
Character: Rose Tyler
Character Journal:
Information: Most anything from her canon, including the fact that there is a canon. Only those who'd know she has a canon would be able to know about her time as the Bad Wolf, though...or anything she's ever done while possessed, because she has choppy memories of those. And only people who can read her mind, rather than have just watched the show can know about what she did in the space between s2-4, since there's no canon on that.
Accessible to: Psychics, gods, fanboys, and select canonmates.
Please contact mun before: Revealing that you actually know about these things to her, or having the knowledge of Bad Wolf or her time in Pete's World.
I...think that's about it?
no subject
Player AIM: atravenenum
Character: Faramir
Character Journal:
Information: Everything you could possibly want to know about Faramir - as well as a few things that you probably had no interest in knowing - can be found in his information post (http://ifishouldreturn.livejournal.com/1434.html).
Accessible to: Anyone who has / could conceivably have read The Lord of the Rings or seen the cinematic adaptations, as well as people with psychic abilities.
Please Contact Mun Before: I'd like to discuss things with you before you completely shatter the fourth wall. I'll probably be fine with it, but I like to be prepared.
Character: Drusilla
Character Journal:
Information: Just look at her tl;dr information post (http://a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com/18081.html).
Accessible to: Anyone who has watched and / or heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyone who can read her history, future or unstable mind using their psychic abilities.
Please Contact Mun Before: I'd like to discuss things with you before any fourth wall shattering occurs. Like I said with Faramir, it'll probably be fine, but preparation is good.
no subject
Player AIM: withoutastar
Character: Éomer
Character Journal:
Information: The normal things he'd reveal on first meeting someone. He's the nephew of the King of Rohan, the Third Marshall of Rohan, etc. Obviously if your character has read The Lord of the Rings, they would know everything about him.
Accessible to: Mind readers, the omnipotent
Please contact mun before: I'm wary about breaking the fourth wall. I'd prefer discussing it first, because he wouldn't take it well if provided with proof, and will flat out not believe your character if they don't provide proof.
no subject
Player AIM: mippachan
Character: Nasuti Yagyu
Character Journal:
Information: Nasuti is French/Japanese and is a teaching aide at Sengoku Academy. Nasuti has a very strong attachment to the other Troopers and Shuten. She has cared for a little boy named Jun during Arago's siege on Tokyo, and owns a red Jeep.
Accessible to: Basically anyone who has interacted with Shuten or Shin will know this information about her.
Please contact mun before: Making any assumptions about her feelings towards others, knowledge on the yoroi armors, kidnapping (I would certainly welcome any abductions, as she lends herself well to those scenarios), combat scenes, fourth walling, disease, mind-control, the usual suspects.
no subject
Player AIM: mamkutrp
Character: Ruby
Character Journal:
Information: The fact that she is affected by a mutation that might make her start killing people or growing extra limbs; her traumatic past at the Glen; the fact that she doesn't actually know who she is.
Accessible to: Anyone who can read minds or has a similar ability, or who is from a universe where Ruby Quest exists on the internets,
Please contact mun before: Revealing that she's fictional; telling this information to any other character.
no subject
Player AIM: chartharsis
Character: Tony Stark
Character Journal:
Information: Just about everything about Tony's canon is public in one way or another, be it via newspaper articles, YouTube videos, or internet gossip sites. The only things that are really "secret" right now are that he was directly responsible for former Stark Industries CEO Obediah Stane's death, and that up until very recently, he was dying of palladium poisoning. Other than that, anything in the movies is fair game for hackers to find. Anything private, such as his schematics for the Iron Man suits, would be under VERY heavy-duty encryption. Tony's also a pretty experienced hacker, himself, so anyone who hacks him can expect to get hacked right back.
On a psychic level, there are a LOT of really fun trauma buttons that can be played with: he's a guy who was caught and tortured by terrorists, after all. He's also really emotionally stunted... he has a lot of deep feelings about Important Things and People, but he's either afraid or doesn't know how to let them out, depending.
Accessible to: Anyone with access to the films, hackers, psychics, etc ...
Please contact mun before: Attempting to hack his private data, using psychic power to mess with him, or 4th-wall-breaking. I'm up for ALL of these, I just like to have notice so I can figure out how to play it.
no subject
Player AIM: eternalferret
Character: Pepper Potts
Character Journal:
Information: Most of Pepper's history and canon was made public whether she wanted it to or not. A side effect of working for Tony Stark. Although there really isn't much information available about her before she started working for him. Because, after all, who cares about the assistant? She was his assistant for 10 years and CEO for, well, all of a week, before suddenly becoming Mr. Stark's girlfriend.
Psychically? She's a mildly OCD ball of stress. The only things that she doesn't publicize is how much she loves Tony and the hand she's had in his various exploits as Iron Man (i.e. helping hack into the Stark Industries computer, having Justin Hammer arrested etc). She also has a lot of residual guilt for hitting the button that blew the arc reactor, killed Obediah Stane and nearly killed Tony.
Accessible to: Anyone with access to the films, hackers, psychics...
Please contact mun before: Using psychic powers or 4th-wall breaking. It's more fun if I have an idea what's going on, after all :D
