WIP!!!!! Still have yet to write the sample posts..This is to show proof that I am working on something :P.

At the most basic state, he’s very emphatically inclined to other living beings, able to grasp onto their feelings, motives, and subtleties. He’s also naturally good at persuading people to feel or think a certain way, although not to a perceived ‘supernatural’ extent—-like a natural social psychologist. 2. The more supernatural aspect of his powers comes in the form of accessing the collective consciousness in varying degrees. This implies various things; first, it means he can manipulate the minds of others (not only humans) through inception—planting idea seeds, subtle pushes or pulls of thoughts, or strong implantations of emotions. Secondly, he can directly connect with other living beings by linking their conscious (in what is known as limbic resonance); the experience is likened to fusing two identities to become one, and is a hugely personal/invasive or subtle experience, depending on context. He has the most influence on a person in this state, but the other being from doesn’t have the same access to his conscious self as he does, theirs. This is due to how the process works. Imagine it like this: a string represents a conscious, and in limbic resonance, his string coils around another instead of melding into it. This means there will be some parts of his string that can’t be accessed by the other. To be clear, this is not a mental takeover or anything, however, there are degrees of influence—-from merely seeing through another another’s eyes to having their physical faculties be puppeteered if consented (this goes both ways). The applications of limbic resonance will be further explored/explained the more he uses it. 3. Weaknesses/Limitations: He can only be in limbic resonance with one living being at a time, and no longer than 1 minute for humans (longer for beings with a lesser conscious), although this can increase as his emotional intelligence and mental protection strengthens. The reason being, in limbic resonance, both participants are at risk of losing their senses of identity (which dangerously increases if he tries to exert too much of his will on another person or vice versa). Also, while in this state, his physical body is vulnerable, and he really can’t do much.
