mr_wing_tip_shoes4th WALL BREAKING: No, thanks!
THREADJACKING: Go for it.
BACK THREADING: Yes indeedy dandy!
MIND READING: Niall is an empath/telepath/whatever. Mind reading is cool but he’ll know someone’s trying to rummage around in his head and will do the mental equivalent of punching them in the face…which could lead to some interesting situations. So sure, go for it!
LOCATION SENSING: ‘Tis fine
TELEPATHY: Same as mind reading up there. Alternately, he can hold conversations with people this way if he or your character is so inclined.
FIGHTING CAPABILITIES: He’s a good shot with a gun and can handle himself in a fist fight but would really rather not have to. His strengths lie in manipulation and using others to fight for him.
INJURY/DEATH: GO FOR IT! Like I said above, he can defend himself but, he’s far from the best and really isn’t made for fighting. That, and he’s a dick. He’s going to piss someone off eventually and I’m looking forward to starting a body count for him. If you wanna kill/hurt him just let me know.
WIN/LOSE/TIE: Whatever fits the situation is fine by me.
MEDICAL/PHYSICAL INFO: The fucker can regenerate. So, he can shake off most injuries; it just hurts like all hell when it heals. Cuts, bruises, and gunshot wounds all heal pretty easily/fast (granted the bullet would have to be removed). Burns take longer. Broken bones need to be set first and generally have to be re-broken in order to heal correctly due to the speed of his regeneration. Unfortunately for him asphyxiation and drowning aren’t something his ability covers.
ROMANCE/RELATIONSHIPS: Niall likes ladies. He likes them a lot. He frequents bars and picks up ladies on a fairly regular basis back home. That said, he’s almost incapable of maintaining a serious relationship for any length of time (he tried it before. It was horrible).
SEXUAL RELATIONS: Pretty much the reason why Niall likes ladies. So if it seems applicable, sure. I don’t write smut though and have little to no interest in doing so. Talk to me about it and we’ll work something out.
PHYSICAL CONTACT: Niall does not like being touched. It shoves the mind of whoever is touching him into his own and he ends up with really nasty headaches. Unless it’s something he’s deliberately trying to get (i.e. sex) he avoids touching like the plague. He can gain a tolerance to people though, if they repeatedly touch him.
ANY TRIGGERS/SECRETS/FACTS YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT: Niall does not like anything that even remotely looks like a medical facility. He was pretty much his mother’s lab rat for the majority of his childhood and does his damned best to avoid such places as a result. He also has a fear of drowning; also a result of his mother’s questionable scientific practices. Uh…have fun with that.
Like I mentioned above, Niall is an empath of sorts. He can feel the emotions of others and, by extension, manipulate them. It’s like a specialized form of telepathy that is constantly working; like a sixth sense. He uses this ability as a weapon just as much as a means for gathering information or manipulation
The only thing this ability is limited by is magic/supernatural creatures. As of the end of this thread Niall has gone to get his fancy dancy, evolving weapon changed from a gun he brought with him to his empathy. Where he originally couldn’t pick up anything he now gets the mental equivalent of a badly tuned radio. He picks up “white noise” with a few smatterings of words and emotions. Too bad those things are completely and utterly alien to him. Mages/people who were born human and people who have acquired magical traits don’t always count.
Niall can also make people hallucinate. This is augmented by the fact that he can rummage around in people’s minds and find out what makes them tick. Hallucinations can range from small, subtle things to elaborate, world encompassing nightmares depending on how much energy he’s willing to spend. The more detailed and involved a hallucination his, the more effort it takes to maintain it. He doesn’t use this ability much though, as it’s much easier to push emotions around.
Permissions thing!

Can Niall manipulate your character’s emotions? Yes.
Can Niall inflict hallucinations on your character? Yes.
Any other stuff you feel I should know? Jesse's weapon can nullify all of these powers if feels inclined to use it, which he probably would if he realized he was being manipulated.
