Mother May I??

So because Martin's got a whole host of weirdness, I figured I would pull together a reference for things your character might pick up on about Martin and things Martin might pick up about your character. The Martin details are all automatically up for grabs when it comes to your character if it's applicable, the rest is mostly a survey about what he might notice and how you would feel about him picking up on it, or generally how comfortable you are with his weirdness in your character's vicinity.

OKAY. LET'S GET TO IT.

STUFF YOUR CHARA MIGHT PICK UP ABOUT MARTIN
smell: cigarettes, sweat, engine grease, something almost like the way the air smells before a storm.
medical stuff: he ages more slowly; he's essentially been stuck at the point he's at physically for the past 15 years at least. physically there's nothing obviously strange; he's got a heartbeat that's more or less within the normal range, he breathes like a regular human. but he doesn't need to eat or drink, and despite the way he looks on the outside his organs and cells and everything would suggest he's a lot younger. because of the healing thing.


WHAT CAN MARTIN PICK UP ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?
smell: in Martin's case this amounts to more of a psychic smell. he can smell fear and panic and pain, and everybody smells Distinct. almost like the way a werewolf can smell somebody, only for Martin it's more what you smell like at your core.

can he pick up on what your character is feeling?: y/n. if y please feel free to let me know when it happens and what exactly he's picking up on!

can Martin feed off your character?: a warning: the process hits people different ways. if you fit what's defined as an "anomaly" in his own world (i.e. somebody who has supernatural powers, be it psychic or otherwise), you mostly just feel a little drained, a little lighter. if you were terrified before being fed on, you'll find you're no longer scared, if you were hurting you'll find you feel less so. it's not permanent, obviously, but it's a nice side effect. however, if you're bog-standard human, it just drains your energy, leaves you feeling wiped out like you were dragged three blocks by a dump truck and then run over by said dump truck, which lasts for the better part of 12 hours if it doesn't outright kill you.

can Martin "terrorize" your character?: ...for the record, it's largely performative if he's just trying to eat. he won't actually physically harm the character, he just scares them enough to get a good meal out of it and then disappears as suddenly as he appears. he won't do it if he's not trying to get a meal out of it, so at least there's that?

Smell: kaneki smells permanently of disgusted (self-hatred) and guilt

Can he pick up on what your character is feeling?: Yes

can Martin feed off your character?: Yes. Kaneki is only half-human, so technically he would be an "anomaly".

can Martin "terrorize" your character?: He can, but Kaneki will defend himself if necessary...
