part i.
Character name: Spike Spiegel
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Species (vampire, werewolf, what have you): Human
Character powers: N/A
part ii.
1.) Is it acceptable for your character to be mind-controlled or persuaded? How susceptible are they to mind control, hypnotism, or suggestion? It is acceptable. He's a normal human, so he's as susceptible as the next normal human.
2.) Is it acceptable for your character to have their mind read? Does this include traumatic memories? What is their mind like (disturbing, orderly, joyful, surprisingly empty, etc.)? If the character has psychic walls or preventative measures against psychic interference, please explain. It's completely fine to read Spike's mind. He's not quite as mellow and easy going as he is on the surface. He has a very violent past, and he's extremely obsessed with a dead woman, but he will almost never talk about either topic. Mind reading is one way to get past that. He might be good at eluding personal questions, but he has no psychic walls or anything like that. (Feel free to discuss this with me!)
3.) Are thoughts mentioned in narration acceptable for a telepath to pick up? Yeah! Totally fine.
4.) What about emotions, in the case of an empath? What sort of general emotional reading would such a character receive from yours? Absolutely. Spike is usually very practiced at being calm in nearly all situations, but it will be obvious in context when something is getting to him. (Again, you're free to discuss.)
5.) Are there any aspects of your character's mind, emotions, or memories you would like to be picked up, mentioned, or used in character? Conversely, is there anything that should not be noticed, or at least never mentioned? I'm open to anything that makes for a good plot point. He's a guy with a lot of secrets that he doesn't want known, so anything about his ties to a crime syndicate, his love life, even his relationship with his crew when he was a bounty hunter is fair game. Absolutely anything is going to bother him on some level, so that's always fun to play with. Fair game!
part iii.
1.) Physically speaking, what stands out about your character? Imposing size? Physical scarring? Tattoos? He's tall and lanky, has a unique green-black hairstyle, and terrible fashion sense (aka he's from 2071 and is still sporting a leisure suit). He probably doesn't blend in as much as he thinks he does.
2.) Is your character immune to any of the following: poisons, chemical agents, telekinetic influence, radiation, or types of illnesses? Nope! Normal humans ftw.
3.) Is your character physiologically different from a human in any way? This can include their blood, skin, hair, et cetera being made up of something unusual or simply differing in construction and durability. Spike has one deviation from the 'normal human' characteristics - he has a cybernetic eye. It was implanted while he was in the syndicate, and gives him above average hand/eye coordination. His fake eye is also a slightly different shade of brown from his natural eye, and it is noticeable if someone were to look closely enough.
4.) Are you amenable to having your character be harmed in any way? How far are you comfortable with injury to you character going? Does this include being fed on by vampires, willingly or unwillingly? It's canon for Spike to be horrible injured at least once in a while. (He was in a full body cast at least three times in the series.) So yes, all of this is fine and encouraged. He'll probably be the guy looking to cause trouble at some point.
5.) Is it acceptable for other characters with abilities of shapeshifting or disguise to imitate your character? Does this include ability mimicry? Yep! Just discuss with me beforehand.
part iv.
1.) Can your character's presence or aura be noticed by other characters, and how would it look/feel to them? How would it manifest to a character with no supernatural abilities, if at all? Normal human, so he doesn't stand out more than anyone else would.
2.) Can your character be affected by magic spells and curses? Again, 'normal human' rules apply.
3.) Can your character be affected by sin and corruption, and be tempted toward expressing their darker urges (of whatever flavor)? Probably, yes!
4.) What sort of sins is the character prone toward, and how might they best be tempted, if you are interested in such an event? Spike is very fond of fighting, to an alarmingly suicidal extent when he's in the right mood, so it may not need much prompting at all to tempt him into that sort of situation.
5.) Are you amenable to the character receiving prophetic visions, including as part of a plot? Sure!
part v.
1.) Is threadjacking allowed? Under what circumstances? Totally allowed, unless the thread is being specifically filtered to one person. Otherwise, have at it.
2.) Is it acceptable for canonmates that are updated further than yours to inform your character of events yours has not yet experienced? N/A since he's at the furthest canon point in the series.
3.) Are there triggering or upsetting topics you would like other characters to avoid mentioning to yours for the sake of continued comfort (racist words, homophobia, self-injury, etc.)? I have no personal issues with these things being discussed with Spike. Barring supernatural issues, there's not a lot of things that are going to surprise him.
4.) Are there any additions you would like us to make to this survey? I'll edit those in if I think of anything!
