permissions | cw: gore, cannibalism

[cibopath]

Tony Chu can receive psychic visions of the history of anything he eats. This ranges from actual food to, well... straight up biting and eating human flesh, living or dead. The strength of the reading on a person depends on how much of them he's consumed: a small taste of blood will let him see very recent memories, whereas actually consuming the flesh will give him clearer memories, typically very emotionally impacting ones or ones resting very heavily upon their mind at the moment (for example, biting the face off a serial killer he'd cornered = the names and fates of all the killer's victims).

Furthermore, there's a chance that he'll be able to gain (but not steal) an ability of your character's if he eats part of them! Like some sick macabre Kirby. Uh. He can also absorb abilities from normal people: this is how he learned how to throw a mean baseball, and how to tie and untie knots like a pro.

OBVIOUSLY not everyone will be cool with this, so! If you DO NOT want Tony to ever bite your character, ever, please let me know. (And if you do want to play this out ever, especially ability absorption, I'll always ask first!)

Also, I'm aware that the subject matter of this canon and character can be a bit much to deal with in spite of the comedic tone, so if you would NOT like me to tag you with Tony I'll refrain from tagging you, no hard feelings whatsoever!

Zero wouldn't allow anyone biting him/would be able to fight off an attack, but otherwise, I'm a-okay with the subject in general!

Question, though. Zero is a vampire hunter/vampire, and can pretty easily pick up on individuals who aren't exactly human. This can extend to humans w any peculiar ability or so. Is there anything that Tony's presence would give off that Zero might notice? It's fine, if not! Just thought I'd ask.

Sounds good! Tony's perfectly human, as far as I know (although Chew could totally pull a fast one on me aliens are a plot point right now I DONT KNOW) but his powers technically mean he's a psychic, albeit a very, very specialized one. Also, even though he technically ate part of its human remains, a detached soul was able to pick up on his powers too.

IN A NUTSHELL Zero would definitely notice his powers!! If Zero's canon has anything about specific auras or presences he'd be seeing to detect that feel free to run with whatever would make the most sense? I'm canonblind and have no idea, sorry! /)_(\

It's fine! Technically, at least canon-wise (Vampire Knight), Zero is hyper-sensitive to whether someone is a vampire (which actually don't follow much of vampire lore; they're very much alive, aren't affected by religious items/garlic, can eat normal food, etc) or human, or even another hunter (they contain very light traces of vampire DNA). For the game, I've mostly been playing that he can pick up on any differences from the typical human being. So, at best, I'd say he would be able to tell that there's something different about Tony, but unable to pinpoint exactly what it happens to be.

Also, feel free to ask whatever else! I'd be more than happy to give a little insight, esp as Zero is a bit of a special snowflake in his canon. Alternatively, he has a permissions post. :)

That works for me! And I'll hit up your permissions too!
