ABILITY PERMISSIONS- Far Shore
Feb. 7th, 2016 07:03 pmKagemi: Shadow Reading. The ability to see the secrets of objects when handling them, and involves following the "shadows" of the past, of missing things or spirited away people. For example if someone was missing a ring, having the ring box means Yuri could track down and locate the ring. Having just a photo of a missing person enables Yuri to track that person down. Typically she can manage to track them far enough, but if they really don't want to be found then the trail might go cold eventually or get 'fuzzy,' leaving her unable to find the person. To quote one of the memos about it: The traces will attract malevolent ghosts, so it is dangerous to spend too long gazing at them. Yet another risk lies in following the trace of a person who has already died or has been spirited away, as you may be inadvertently following them into the world of the dead.
Mitori: Glancing (mitori) in Fatal Frame V is the ability to touch a spirit at the moment of defeat and witness a vision of its last moments. Yuri Kozukata, Miu Hinasaki and Ren Hojo all make use of this ability to learn more about Mount Hikami and the people who died there.
Historically, the ability was used by the Maidens of Black Water. When people came to the mountain seeking death, the maidens would witness their last moments and take on the burden of their sins and secrets. Those with the strongest power would be able to take in a person's memories simply by looking at them, and the maidens' penetrating gazes became an ominous theme in folklore about the mountain. Eventually, the shrine maiden's heart became too full to continue performing this duty, at which point she would be enclosed in a reliquary and submerged.
Essentially this means if Yuri touches someone, she has a chance of seeing their thoughts or memories, etc etc. Like reading their mind. She can also pick up on someone's emotions and a general idea of their thoughts!
I don't plan on using the more extreme versions of this (like memory/dream/secret seeing or essentially those mind-reading portions of it) too much, at least in the beginning of any CR, because Yuri tends to be careful about touching people and has a decent amount of control over it. However she may still pick up base emotions/feelings/thoughts on a touch
For the bigger things, unless you approach me about the possibility first (and I'm always up for traumatizing Yuri or making things awkward of the "oops I totally just saw that time you died or stabbed someone and boy does that look bad out of context!" variety), there's an event that might destabilizes Yuri's power, or something similar, I won't be making use of that part of her ability! That's stuff that has to be plotted out beforehand and I won't do it without permission.
So basically, please comment here if it is or is not okay for Yuri to pick up on your characters emotions or thoughts, and to what extent it is/isn't okay! It's perfectly possible to avoid it completely, so no worries there!
Edit to Add: I'm 100% okay with spoilers, so no worries about spoiling me for anything!
