Tuning & Spying Permissions




TUNING


Sunday can use the power of Harmony to "tune" others. This process allows him to greatly influence someone's mind. It can be used in a healing fashion to soothe distressed people. It can be used defensively to alter other people's perception or make them forget they ever saw him. It can also be used as an attack to slowly unravel someone's sanity or force them to tell the truth. Not telling the truth when tuned turns the Harmonic consecration into a trial that will kill the person if they fail. In extreme circumstances, Sunday can hold the minds of others prisoner within his own consciousness. According to the Masked Fools, aggressive tuning can even rob someone of all sentience, reducing them to a mindless husk.

Which is all to say, it does a lot, and its limits are not well defined in canon. If it has to do with the mind, tuning can do it.

Sunday is canonically very liberal about his use of tuning. He does it with no regard for the boundaries of others, as it's an ability he's had his whole life. In RP, however, this ability is entirely opt-in only.


SPYING


Sunday is likely to recruit other characters to serve as spies for him, though he may lie about his motives. He wants to know what people are doing out of paranoia and a need to feel some control over his environment. He may use what he learns against you, anyway, however. He is vicious and cruel when cornered.

Spying and being spied on are also entirely opt-in only.


PERMISSIONS
This is all opt-in only but here is a "consent to tune/spy" question so you can tell me "no" directly to my face!



CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME:
CAN SUNDAY TUNE YOUR CHARACTER?:
IF "YES" IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH TUNING?: Would you like your character to be relieved of despair or distress for a while? Unravel their mind? Alter their perception? Anything else you can think of about your character's mental state that you would like to play with via tuning? That all goes here!
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHARACTER TO SPY FOR SUNDAY?: We can RP a meeting or handwave it!
CAN SUNDAY SPY ON YOU?:
IF YES, WHAT WOULD HE LEARN?: Details about a character's routine, etc. He can learn as much or as little as you want.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Questions, comments, and concerns go here!

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Roronoa Zoro | [personal profile] yourotherleft
CAN SUNDAY TUNE YOUR CHARACTER?: he would be capable of it, but between Zoro's own instincts and his haki he'll catch on if it gets too aggressive.
IF "YES" IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH TUNING?: totally down for healing, calming him down if a situation calls for it, and yes to the blind spot/going invisible and getting away. Anything more severe, should the opportunity arise, let's discuss it before going ham.
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHARACTER TO SPY FOR SUNDAY?: nah he's too Straw Hat 4Lyfe
CAN SUNDAY SPY ON YOU?: sure!
IF YES, WHAT WOULD HE LEARN?: probably nothing of interest but again, if game opportunities come up and Zoro is doing things in a plot that he's trying to keep secret, I'd be down if Sunday still sniffed it out. He spars a lot and stays physically active, and unintentionally ends up in all the wrong places all the time thanks to his broken compass, have fun being all "why is he here? Oh he's just lost. Again."
ANYTHING ELSE?: I've figured out that for the best of all worlds, Zoro's haki would just passively register Sunday as having a Power, but not what it is, how it works, anything. If tuning is happening he probably won't catch on unless it gets super duper serious and dangerous - at that point he can't mentally counter shit but he has three swords.
