Spirit Abilities

*Hearing the Hurt - Being a Spirit of Compassion, Cole uncontrollably feels the pain in places and people. He can remember things from other people's lives, even things like the last emotions of people who have died horrible deaths. He doesn't do this intentionally, it simply happens - and it isn't mind reading. He can only 'hear' things that cause a person hurt or discomfort, usually things they need to confront.

*Not Very Memorable - Cole has a way of not sticking in the minds of most people he meets. This is a skill he's learned to control over time, and he can actively make someone forget they've seen him, even in the middle of a conversation so that he can try a different line of conversation if his social skills fail him. Naturally, the general population gradually forget his face and name when he is out of their sight for a while, but those he chooses to interact more with can hold on to his memory without much issue.

*You Can't See Me - At will, Cole can simply not appear to people. Sometimes it's force of habit, sometimes more purposeful, but when he disappears like this, his presence simply doesn't register to the person he is hiding it from. He can walk right up to them, even brush past them, and he simply can't be perceived. There is a measure of at least some focus involved with this, however, and if caught off-guard or unconscious, he cannot disappear. Magic that dispels the abilities of spirits can also negate this power.

SO - my questions for you!

Can Cole read your character?

If Cole reads your character's pain, what will he find? Anything in particular you want him to zero in on? (Feel free to be esoteric, too! What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?)

Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such)

Can Cole make your character forget him?

Can Cole make your character not see him?

Anything else you want me to know?

time to try and do this with none spoilers let's gooo.

Can Cole read your character? yes!

If Cole reads your character's pain, what will he find? Anything in particular you want him to zero in on? (Feel free to be esoteric, too! What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?)

We're going to be more esoteric for vagueness reasons: the sense of being deep underwater and alone, but not drowning. Hope that turns bitter and becomes something to reject. Broken pieces of mirrors, a heavy darkness, a weight carried. Light that hurts your eyes, that you block out, and everything going in circles.

Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such) everything's fair game!

Can Cole make your character forget him? yes but it is definitely not going to go over great if he realizes later, tbh.

Can Cole make your character not see him? yes!

Anything else you want me to know? he's extremely old, he's tired, he has lingering depression and would just like to nap, thanks.
