Three of the Corinthian's abilities may be things a player doesn't want to interact with, or something a character may be immune to. If any of the three listed below fall under either category for any reason, please comment with the name of your character and the ability you wish to opt-out of. The reason can be included or left out, that's completely up to you.

DARKNESS DETECTION
A vague sense allowing him to distinguish those with darker sides to their personality or darker desires from those without. This does not work over electronic devices.

NOTE: this will not tell the Corinthian anything specific about a character's past, inner thoughts, motivations, etc.

DREAM WALKING
When in the Dreaming the Corinthian is able to enter the minds of dreamers and rot their dreams into nightmares. Because he is now trapped in the Waking World, this ability will have limitations. While the Corinthian will be able project himself inside the mind of a Dreamer, he will need to be within a reasonable distance of them (i.e. he could be outside their apartment building, but not two blocks over) and can only enter and influence the mind of one Dreamer at a time.

SOOTHSAYER
Characters within ten feet of the Corinthian will be unable to knowingly lie, either audibly or visually. This also means that illusions will not work within the sphere of this influence. A character attempting to tell a lie will instead slip naturally into speaking the truth. Unintentional lies and lies of omission will remain unaffected, and this ability will not work over electronic devices.

Basically someone within ten feet of the nightmare becomes Jim Carrey from Liar, Liar. Have fun, friends.

Loki Laufeyson

Darkness Detection

Yes, absolutely, while Loki is actively trying to change for the sake of defying fate that doesn't necessarily mean he walks a righteous path. He had to kill himself to get to where he is (his innocent self at that). So there are some dark undertones that The Corinthian should be able to detect if they come into physical contact. It will certainly belie his demeanor.

Dream Walking

Why would you even? Though yes, go right ahead, not that Loki is terribly affected by nightmares, but his conscience does make him particularly susceptible to certain things. His headspace is a mad place to be, even his dreams.

Soothsayer

This would be absolutely brilliant! In fact Loki will be intrigued by this ability, because lies and illusions are his bread and butter, he's entirely about misdirection. He will be the ultimate fail around the Corinthian, which is canon actually. Verity could see through illusions and lies. Though Loki was still able to deceive her through other means. Might require some discussion, but I'm not object to this kind of foil.
