Ceaseless Watcher, Turn Your Eye Upon Us

This is a placeholder post for permissions.
I'm getting this up asap so people can let me know what they would like Jon to Know about them, as soon as his power returns in game. It's all opt-in. It can be tiny things (Just pops into his head that your character likes eggs over pancakes), big things (He looks at you and sees in detail the murder you committed years ago), secret things, or mundane things. It can be just a vibe. And he can Know it all at once or in trickles over time. Let's talk about it!
Jon does not want to know anything about your character, but Jon doesn't ever get what he wants.
And he does need to... well, feed.
Edit to add: Jon is not psychic. He's the avatar of an entity of fear that pours knowledge into him, it's not a feed from your character to him. Unless he's taking a statement (compelling your character to tell him something), it's not direct. And if he is, we'll talk about that because it has long-term effects.

- When he was 16, he opened a Sith holocron and let it teach him for months, and learned some freaky shit like straight up mind control from it.
- Later that year did a ritual with the ex-Sith Maul, that combined the Sith holocron and Jedi holocron that supposedly gave them a shared true vision of a question from each of them. Ezra asked how to defeat the Sith and saw Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi. Ezra later met Master Kenobi face to face, who tried to persuade him this answer was a lie Maul fed to him. Headcanon: Ezra is still convinced that somehow it *is* true, tho. (And never told ANYONE about meeting Obi-wan because of this.)
- Is like 90% convinced that if he gets booted back to exactly when and where he came from, he'll be dead before within moments.

Date: 2021-06-13 11:13 am (UTC)What Jon might 'see' about him, is that he's lying. That there's something worse, something much darker to him than he's letting on. He could see the lonely childhood where Homelander grew up in a lab? If he senses emotions, he might feel Homelanders endless loneliness and his rage at the world.
For fun, he could sense Homelander's feelings about strong women and breastmilk- he really fucking loves it. It's a sex thing.

Date: 2021-06-13 04:03 pm (UTC)Other things he's welcome to pick up:
- flashes of undead pets he's had. They're adorable, and only a little worse for wear.
-Hector sure did burn his house down with his parents still inside as a child.
-vampires. So many vampires.

Date: 2021-06-13 06:25 pm (UTC)- Has a weird block when it comes to magic; it can still effect him, but he can't effect/conduct it.
- Definitely has dealt with something weird and big and otherworldly, but the specifics are Hazy.
- Something about authoritarian parental-adjacent figures
- Was confined somewhere unpleasant for a long time.

Date: 2021-06-13 07:03 pm (UTC)* Phoenix loves very hard, and that love has been his downfall before and it'll probably be his downfall again. The evidence is on his stomach.
* He's afraid of someone who's dead, and that fear is very rational.
* He never drinks or eats anything that isn't sealed or that he didn't watch be poured/made.
* He has no progeny, but he's a father to six people (and counting, he's already adopted a new person in-game). He is only called 'dad' by one person, though.
* He has saved more lives than he realizes.

Date: 2021-06-13 09:04 pm (UTC)If he prods deliberately, Geralt will likely sense that. If it's happening without any exertion of will, Geralt will probably not realize.
Some things include:
+ A buried sense of abandonment and isolation, especially related to his mother
+ The fun Witcher Trials, which would be a general vibe of trauma and death
+ Is much older than he looks
+ An association with magic and lilacs and gooseberries
+ An ash blonde young girl who may or may not be a princess, but her face would be indistinct
+ Wolf imagery and snowy mountains

Date: 2021-06-13 10:36 pm (UTC)Ronan is the metaphysical equivalent of a thousand voices screaming at the same time, so while there is a lot of information absolutely pouring out of him at all times, it's probably going to be difficult for Jon to make sense of any of it. You can make up any fact for Jon to catch flowing out of him and it's going to be true simply because there is a possibility it could be true in some version of reality. Go hog wild with the absolute nonsense of it all.
