Moriarty is from the grandaddy of all Detective stories - and while he's not the detective himself, he's known in both book canon and FGO canon to be Sherlock's intellectual equal. In canon, he even manages to tell who Salter (Artoria Alter) is before she tells him her name by using a deductive process remarkably similar to Sherlock's, so he's definitely got the same perceptiveness.
So! What I'm asking here is -
1. Do you want Moriarty to pick up things like tics, personality, how they hold themselves, the words they say, predicting what they're thinking via body language, etc. If you don't, it won't come up during tags! Not commenting to this is the same as opting out in my eyes, so!
2. If you're okay with it, then I'll need you to give me details about them. How's their normal body language? Is there anything strange about them magically or not that he could notice? Do they have any tics or nervous habits he'd pick up on? Anything on their bodies or visible markings or smells he'd notice and potentially be able to deduce from?
3. Anything else you want to add that I didn't mention but Moriarty would notice? Tell me here!
Injury (any kind, including torture): Yep, though it won't stick around permanently.
Death: /LAUGHS IN IMMORTALITY, aka yeah! Though ask me first, since I am trying to have it be on the dl for Moriarty for a bit.
Romance: That's a nah, chief. I play Moriarty as uninterested in romance.
Mind-reading: I'd like a heads up first, but sure!
Generally, I'm pretty chill! Honestly, just contact me if you wanna do something.
As for what characters will notice from Moriarty:
- Constantly 'on' with magic, if they have good senses. It'd feel like a spell of some sort is continually running.
- Those with good hearing or if they ever hug him will notice the lack of heartbeat.
- Has almost no reaction to most kinds of pain.
- His Butterfly spell is too advanced for the time period he says he's been alive, seeming more like something a mage family would work on over time or have bequeathed to them.
From Moriarty's app:
End of the Spider's Thread: A thin, easily dispelled magic 'thread' that he can stick to walls, objects, and people which allow him to know where people are within his 'web' / if they disturb it or enter it (within a 20 ft radius), and also allows him to listen into their conversations. Of course, though it's easily dispelled, it's nearly invisible to magic senses and physical ones - and those with keen senses will often only feel as if they've walked into a spider web when it attaches.
In essence, I'm asking if you would be willing to have your character be bugged / have Moriarty be able to eavesdrop on conversations and know where they are if they're on campus / nearby him. I can also have him not catch all of conversations, if you'd like!
Not responding to this will be treated as the same as opting out, so no worries.
I'm just doing this for all three of mine in one comment
1. Sure, why not.
2. Normally it's pretty skittish, like she's used to having to make herself appear smaller to everyone around her. Her accent is pretty damn thick as her native languages are Arabic and Ancient Egyptian proper. As for smells, she smells pretty normal unless in the sun for a long period of time, in which she smells like lizard. Her canines are also a little longer than a normal person's.
Strings: Absolutely go for it, she wouldn't notice it to begin with.
Jolyne
1. Sure.
2. Very aggressive posturing most of the time. Very clearly American (Southern) accent, has a star birthmark on her left shoulder that would connect her to the Joestar bloodline if he knows about that whole mess. Also has a tattoo on her inner arm that corresponds to a motorcycle gang in the Florida area.
3. She has a criminal record out the ass, man, you know this.
Strings: Same as Kisara, go for it.
18
1. Yep.
2. Pretty neutral in posture, though usually carries herself as if ready to fight at any second, though more defensively than anything else. She's got magitech in her if he could notice any of that shit. If he can sense any kind of "living" energy, she has no signs of that what-so-ever despite very clearly alive. She also doesn't really have much of an accent since she's originally from Estonia, then moved to somewhere in Asia and between Estonian, English, Chinese, and Japanese, she kind of lost any real hint of an accent. Oops.
3. She's a cyborg. /slow shrug If he keeps an eye on information involving any hunter groups, she's part of a pretty famous-ish one in the Asia area. Also married to one of them. Also also there's probably some covered up information about her connections to a (now dead) mage who created some cyborgs and androids at one point. Look, they did their best to cover up the whole destruction thing they did plus Cell's whole mess.
Strings: Uhhh, you can. But she'd probably be the most able to be paranoid about that shit so probably not the best idea for him to go doing that. She's also kinda boring.
