Character Name: Lavi Super Power/Mutation: Empathy Restrictions: No telepathy, no projection onto others. Other person needs to be nearby (no further away than, say, the next room).
Reasoning: For a good chunk of his life, Lavi's been told not to feel anything for other people. No attachments -- good or bad. He's familiar with feeling bitter and disgusted towards humanity as a whole, but he hasn't had much opportunity to develop feelings regarding specific people. That's changed for him, more recently, and he's struggling with it. And for all his book-learning and conning skill, he doesn't get what it means to feel. When he feels something, he denies it, squashes it, or rationalizes it away (leaving the Order would suck because it means no more comfy beds; not that he'd be leaving his friends behind). But subconsciously, the dam's already leaking, which the gas could easily latch onto and help push him further in understanding things.
Any last questions? Li and I were sort of talking about Lavi and Jade while we were coming up with ours, sob. I think we'd play the effects out differently enough that it'd be okay? :Da
