[IOTA] - [BAD LUCK]

STAGE I. Upon skin to skin contact with an object, Stefan will unfortunately cause it to break. Like someone who hasn't learned to cope with super strength, at it's beginner level, he won't be able to do anything more complicated than break the handle off a mug, make crack appear in a glass, dent a wall- maybe make a picture frame fall off of it, or in the instance of an unfortunate bystander, make them trip on air. This will also fire off randomly, perhaps forcing him to believe he's being severely clumsy, or the people around him are, and fire off more often during times of great emotional duress. What a drama queen.

STAGE II. At the next level, skin to skin contact will still be required. He'd be able to effect larger objects with a higher damage scale, allowing himself to (if he hasn't/someone else hasn't realized) figure out this is his ability, and learn some control. This would affect large objects the size of a small window, so if a quick exit is desired he could shatter the entire window. Or an object the size of a microwave, like touching the buttons and the whole thing sets on fire, even though he didn't put any tinfoil inside. He would still only be able to affect living objects on a small scale (the potted plant falls over, the person bangs their knee on a table while standing, etc).

STAGE III. At it's highest formation, Stefan will be able to control when and where to instigate the most damage, meaning he'd still unfortunately be breaking all your favourite space mugs under duress. He'd also be able to affect living people at a distance (of shooting him at point blank range, and no further) and only in a situation that threatens his immediate survival. Like jamming a gun, or a knife that falls off it's handle. If he initiates contact with a living person skin to skin, the most damage he'd be able to do, is break a few bones in the hand, or cause a person to trip and break their own nose. He would not ever be capable of shattering a person's head or anything actually life threatening.

BROOD PERMISSIONS
( Things your brood might be able to detect about your character. Complex emotional states, feelings, biographical information, physical status, etc. Young hosts especially will have trouble locking down information from their brood. )

NEST PERMISSIONS
( Things everyone including outside your brood might know. Basic emotional states, biographical information, etc. Depends on how controlled your character is. Note: Advanced members of the nest will be better at reading your character than newer Hosts. )

MENTAL LINK
( your character's 'flavor'. A list of feedback- feelings, emotions, senses, colors, etc- others may feel when connecting to your character. )

Physical Affection: Go for it! Stefan can be pretty tactile when he wants to be, and he's an excellent comfort hugger. He's pretty tolerant to receiving affection, up to a point.
Physical Violence: With prior plotting I'm so down. Just proceed with caution, because blooded is a very effective guard dog.
Romance/Relationships: Nope, sorry! He might have accepted his immediate demise, but he's very much married. He'll likely ignore harmless flirting, but he's tactless and blunt with his let downs.
Thread-jacking: Follow your heart!
Back-tagging: Always.
Fourth-walling: Gonna opt out of this one!
Offensive Subjects/Triggers: At the moment that I can think of? Nada. A good rule of thumb is if you're gonna go into super detail about super gorey things, maybe just give me a heads up first. Otherwise the world is your oyster.
Anything Else? In the reverse, Stefan has a long history of playing Van Gogh with people's insides, is adverse to mind control, and has lots of guilt and opinions on deserving to live and that sort of thing. If that's not something you wanna touch, let me know.
