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.
We're puttin Two in One here,
1 - Heck yeah! Get ready for a very odd and definitely once-feral child, this kid spent 4 years alone wandering about in the outlands. Also notable is she seems to be Ukrainian (though she speaks Russian as a first language! ...only as much as a 5 year old would have), despite the name 'Reira'. She speaks English pretty well- largely because she has a natural ability to just pick up a sound/behavior and mimic it. It's genuinely accentless which, Super Weird. Reira isn't visibly skittish, but she DOES take a bit to trust humanoid people, being far more open around literally everything else- if she's not, it means she's picked up on something negative. (The reasoning- if he could draw this conclusion- is that people can, and often do, hide their emotions while beasts do not. If an animal is happy it probably won't hurt her. If a person is, they still might.)
Body Language on that note is a big big work in progress. On the one hand she wears her emotions on her sleeve, but on the other she's very clearly only learning how to experience those things...Now. On a smells note she probably smells like flowers, birds...it varies according to which sprite is doing the most.
3. I GENUINELY DO NOT KNOW, to be fair even I'm not 100% sure how Reira's background prior the Outlands stuff goes. But if it's relevant; Reira is alarmingly easy to possess due to the candle ability granting her empathy. She also has four sprites with her at all times, but is not the contract holder for them, and lastly, has apparently been drained of any magical potential she may have once had.
Anyway COOL STRINGS, I'M COOL WITH THEM. Since they're not dangerous, even the sprites wouldn't care if they Did notice.
GONGENZAKA
1. Heck yeah Gon's an open book
2. Gongenzaka is a naturally born werebear from the Gongenzaka 'Steadfast Dojo' of Japan, with a good amount of self control under his belt! He's a bear during the evenings, but can still talk. Wow. In any case, despite being 14 and in grade 8 (he's starting grade 9 in September to be fair- no failed years here! Gon's rather intelligent actually) he's also 5'8'', a bit over 6' thanks to the geta he wears, and built like a dang tank. He speaks fluent French with modern form, but his Japanese uses archaic styles of speech...and his English is heavily accented, with a lot of pausing to make sure he's got the words right.
He's also just, very very Good, though he can get a bit wound up about things like Rules and such. Lots of tradition to uphold! Lots of people to make happy!
Being a Werebear, he will Probably notice that lack of heartbeat if there's enough quiet around them. Oh Boy.
As for strings, while he'd feel like something happened, he'd...probably not really assume anything magical. Unless the feeling never leaves, in which case, MMMM he'd catch that. But otherwise String 'm up.
