( lie detecting permissions )❝ My name is Verity Willis. Nobody's ever lied to me. Because nobody can. Ever since I was a kid, I've always been able to see through any lie I'm told, no matter how small or well-intentioned ... I was the only kid who never believed in Santa Claus. I was always the first to know. I can't even watch a movie. Any kind of fiction just ... frustrates me. People talk about suspension of disbelief — well, that's not something I can do. So I sit around reading about pure mathematics, programming, physics, things I know are always true ... and I try to pretend that's enough ... to lie to myself ... and I can't. I can't. ❞
reading lies / verity's power is an innate ability to catch people's lies, no matter how small they may be. if the person says or writes something with the self-knowledge that it is a lie, she will be aware as such. however, her abilities aren't entirely foolproof either as even if she knows a statement is a lie, it doesn't allow her to know what the actual truth is. for example, if someone gives her a false name, she will know the name is fake, but she won't know what the true name actually is.
seeing through illusions / other effects of this ability is being able to see through illusions. if someone sets up an illusion to make themselves appear differently than they are, she will not be able to see that false presentation, instead seeing the person as they really are (unless informed, she might not even be aware that there's an illusion being set in the first place).
shapeshifting is not an illusion / unlike illusions, verity cannot see through shapeshifting since that is still part of who that person is. if they're manipulating their own skin to look different, it's shapeshifting and cannot by caught by verity's detection. if the change of appearance is caused by some sort of magical "veil" instead, she will be able to see through it.
character permissions / verity's abilities cannot be helped, and if she meets a person who has a tendency to lie, it's natural for her to catch it. however, if you'd prefer it, you can opt out of having verity interact with your character in the case that you'd rather avoid those lies being caught at all. if you're fine with verity catching your fibs, please fill out the permissions form to get all the details straightened out in case of any lie-catching scenarios.
( out of character )
backtagging / i can literally backtag forever.
threadhopping / that's totally fine by me.
fourthwalling / not so much. but it should hardly be an issue.
triggers / the biggest thing are lies lies lies, which she can naturally detect. look to lie detecting details for more permissions. otherwise, most things should be fine.
( in character )
hugging / she won't just go about hugging strangers, but if she gets along well with someone, she wouldn't necessarily mind. especially with eudio, she'll be a little more open to accepting it.
kissing / closeness is key. she'd prefer to have at least some sort initial flirting prior at least. cheek kisses always acceptable from friends. lips tend to be more reserved until she likes you well enough.
sex / if she likes you and it leads up to it, then yes. kinks are here.
flirting / as long as you're not a jerk who's vomiting out lies, she might actually flirt back. don't use awful pick up lines though, please.
fighting / she's not a physical fighter so it's not preferred unless discussed.
injuring / would prefer to discuss first.
killing / nah.
telepathy & mind reading / would prefer to discuss first. but she can track lies, so it's fair enough for it to be done back.

is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ heck to the yes
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ mostly i think he lies about how sure of himself he is, or how okay/fine/totally unaffected by things he is
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nope, it's allllll real baby
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ Absolutely
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ He mostly talks himself up beyond what's actually true or misrepresents situations with his own very strong slant, so clues in bracket text seem like the best way to get 'er done. He also misrepresents the crap out of people he doesn't like or is beefing with, but again, I can just clue in about those.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ Nope!
other notes? ✘ Names are complicated, because some mutants view that name as their real name without question, but John will be identifying mostly as John in Eudio so I don't see it coming up. If he does introduce himself as Pyro for some reason, we can work it out at that point?
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ y
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ he downplays just about everything and pretends he's perfectly fine 99% of the time. making things up on the fly for humorous effect/shock value. humoring people while thinking they're complete morons.

character name ✘ edwin jarvis
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ jarvis doesn't necessarily lie about himself, but for his employer, Howard Stark, and his most recent cohort, Peggy Carter. He'd lie to cover their secrets, or at least avoid talking about it.

is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ hell yeah
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ she's more likely to lie by way of omission of information than anything else (esp. regarding anything going on back home)
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nahh
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ n/a
other notes? ✘ again with the omission of info but a large part of that will probably be related to the tvd vampires and not outing them, so that would obv. require their permission if they end up in cognito in game!
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ always
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ Billy has a tendency to keep everything that's bugging him to himself
so he can either go into a depressive episode or explode, but typically, he's not too prone to lying anyway.does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ He probably can, but he doesn't do it really.
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ She'll see a nerdy, gay teenager who uses too much hair gel. :/
other notes? ✘ Iiii don't think so, not off the top of my head.

what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ "how are you?" "fine!" Feel free to notice that Jemma tends to try and downplay what she's been through. She'll be honest eventually, and she's not a particularly good liar to begin with...

what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ lord okay. the iron bull is not his actual name as you don't get names under the qun! it's what he named himself. so... in that respect it IS his name but not really?? idk. also he's trained as a spy and most of his lying is just disguising his expression/reactions to things. otherwise he's pretty damn open for a spy

does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nope for Gwen, and Raven's a shapeshifter, so technically no too.
other notes? ✘ i gots nothing, except that Gwen would be a goon if called out about fibbing, and Raven would probably get pissy. that's kinda it tho!
no subject

what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ MOSTLY he just bottles things like 90% of the game, I'll try and remember to make it clear in the brackets/prose.

Etc etc

no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ yeah dorian kinda does lie a bit, while he does at times flat out lie he has the tendency to deflect more than anything. naturally the lies tend to do with himself and his history, as he is rather a private person when it comes to that.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nah, you only get his OVERWHELMINGLY HANDSOME SELF
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ just that fabulous face

does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nope.

no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ yerrr
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ easily? that she's definitely not sold ice cream out of her van. she was hacktivising. also maybe whatever bs about how she knows all the things about shield (bc she's shield).
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ naw it's all natural wink
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ wonk
other notes? ✘ her biggest secret so far, SHE THINKS, is that she's been changed -- genetically speaking -- into something not entirely human, but...maybe that'd take a lot of digging to sniff out
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ Cole is actually a pretty crappy liar to begin with, and isn't likely to attempt it often.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ Nnnnno? It's complicated. He's a spirit who took human form, so the body is still his, even if it isn't what he used to be... I'm gonna say no. BUT. See next answer.
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ Because the way he looks is an adopted form and he's still only mostly human, I'd be okay with it if you wanted him to appear a bit ephemeral or ghost-like in Verity's eyes. I'll leave that up to you.
other notes? ✘ Nope =)
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ yesss
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ she lies about a fair amount of her past and current plans really but i will always let you know in notes!

what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ helena lies about being totally fine when she isn't, being the huntress/a vigilante, and many other things that ties into those. other times she is hideous blunt, to the point of being an ass.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nay, just her mask and cape
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ a jellyfish

what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ wanda isn't a big liar, it's more likely to be lies of omission, but there may be half truths if she doesn't want to give something away.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ no but she can probably make people see illusions.
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ shore
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ lol yukari doesn't tell anyone that she's got magical powers from a goddess-type figure that lives in her head. usually it's by omission, but often she'll call herself "normal" when she's anything but.

no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ archer isn't his name, he's not really an archer, his super jaded cynicism is complete odds with his own personal morals. he contradicts himself a lot. he died, but he still exists and wants to stop existing entirely?
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ no illusions, but his weapons are made of magical 3d printer bullshit and technically are only copies of real items. FAKES. BIG OL FAKES. FAKEEER. he can turn into a spirit which is different from being invisible i guess because he can walk through walls disappear and
flyjump off fucking giant buildings no problem.other notes? ✘ human form -> but definitely not human.
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ YES.
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ he definitely spent a good 15 minutes trying to decide if yukari's tits were bigger here in eudio or not. fake dude bravado but not as bad as it used to be YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP. stuff like that. also died, but is no longer dead. okay with staying not dead, unlike some people.

character name ✘ Razihel
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ She never lies. never.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ Razihel usually "hides" her single wing. She's also a fallen angel SO.
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ She has a six feet large wing over her right shoulder. Because she has literally taken physical form I don't think that verity will see her as light or whatever.
other notes? ✘ seriously, she doesn't lie, and if she would ever lie it would such a bad lie everyone would know
character name ✘ Mara
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ Mara is more an avoider than a liar. I'll make sure to note when she does lie, though.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ nope!
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ N/A
other notes? ✘ not really!
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ yyyyyyyyyy
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ literally anything concerning his identity as a human being. he's spent years fine-tuning his conversational filters so as to avoid any big or obvious lies (i.e. keeping small talk to where he's lived recently or what his hobbies entail, etc, and only glossing over the details thereof), but anything concerning his background, age, or anything else that would peg him as "definitely human and not a dragon" is almost definitely a lie. (his name is something he chose for himself and has been identifying with for a few decades or so, so it's less of a lie than the other stuff.)
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ the magic by which he maintains a human image is categorized as "illusion," but functionally it's more like shapeshifting. (functionally and practically; otherwise he would have a very hard time fitting anywhere indoors!) still, because it is illusory by nature, i'd be okay with verity recognizing his human shape as fake magic bs.
is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ not that i think it would be practical (again) to see his real shape anywhere indoors, but just in case: he is a big dragon. biiig big dragon, with black scales and gold eyes. not a lanky older guy in the least
other notes? ✘ nup
no subject
is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ ye
what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ he lies about a lot of stuff (pirate) but most of his stories make him seem more heroic than he actually is. i'll tell more in the tags.
does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ n
