GENERAL PERMISSIONS

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!


STANDARD PERMISSIONS

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.


THREAD PERMISSIONS

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.

Grimm (fireindreams)

1: Sure.

2: Grimm is very animated and quite dramatic with his actions and speech, although it would come across quickly he's mostly like this because he finds it funny. Grimm is also a vampire (and the Troupe Master of the Grimm Troupe, the vampire clan he's master of) and makes no secret of it. Thanks to his powers over fire, Grimm smells like ash and smoke more often then not. Curiously despite being a vampire Grimm has a heartbeat. However if Moriarty actually checks (physically or magically) then he'll find it's an illusion brought on by the Nightmare Heart, which is the only thing that remains of the Grimm Troupe's creator, the Nightmare King.

As a result, Grimm has a number of scars on his chest. Had to get the Heart in somehow.

3: Sure. Feel free to PM me if you see a conversation that you'd like Moriarty to know about. Sometimes he'll actually catch Grimm speaking to himself on occasion and holding a conversation. Again, this is due to the Nightmare King's presence in Grimm's mind.

Nekane (opheliaafterdeath)

1: Sure.

2: The cracks on Nekane's face (which do extend to the rest of their body) and their bone wings are the two obvious things about them physically. Aside from that they have dark circles under their eyes because they don't sleep due to a huge phobia of the dark. Nekane is very touch adverse and tends to push people away when touched, but only has a violent reaction when grabbed by the wrists or someone grabs their wings. They possess a photographic memory and can manipulate shadows. Finally, while they claim to be a Contracted, the reality is Nekane is a strange angel/daemon hybrid due to circumstances in their past. They'll be very adamant that the angel part isn't a thing, however.

3: Sure. As with Grimm, feel free to send a PM if there's a conversation you'd like Moriarty to know about. One thing to keep in mind is that Nekane is extremely paranoid and as a detective themself it's not the first time they've been bugged. If they find out Moriarty bugged them then they'll make sure it doesn't happen again as best as they can.
