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.

Darkness Detection:

Sure. Why not? I'm fine for it if Crane's presenting as his real self: post-Rises straw-suit nerd. I'm curious how it'll work against his shapeshifting since part of that power involves immunity to mind-altering if he's in a different form. Though this doesn't read as that and I'm up for hashing out something interesting?

Dream Walking:

I don't mind this, though given Crane has a similar power [BUDDIES] I think they'd be able to talk person to person? LBH his dreams are all pretty much nightmares anyway and he's pretty fearless. CLEARLY they need to gang up on someone.

Soothsayer:

Crane prefers unintentional lying and uses omission anyway so this is totally fine! I'll just ask for a heads up in case it involves something utterly major.
