Permissions Post

[easily]

Like all vampires in The Vampire Diaries, Rebekah is able to employ a form of mind control that is referred to as compulsion by looking directly into a person's eyes and giving them a verbal command (though vampires from this canon have also been shown to be capable compelling people without saying anything at all). While most vampires are only able to compel humans, as an original vampire Rebekah is also capable of compelling humans, other vampires, and (by extension) werewolf-vampire hybrids (as they are part vampire). Given that this is kind of a god-mode ability, player consent is going to be needed before it will ever come in to play. The mental powers of vampires from this canon also allow them to enter the dreams of other sentient creatures, though this is not used nearly as often as the mind-control component.

I want to make it clear that this type of compulsion would not happen without my contacting you beforehand and discussing it. I wouldn't be contacting you after-the-fact. Even if you consent here there will be no compulsion taking place without my shooting an IM, PM, or email your way to talk it out first and make sure that it was alright. Basically, this post will just let me know whether or not I should bother contacting you to ask permission should a situation occur in-game where Rebekah might try to compel your character for whatever reason. Most of the time, it might be for her own amusement or because she's throwing a fit or trying to prove a point. She's kind of a brat like that.

Also, Rebekah feeds on humans. This would probably be her biggest reason to compel someone tbh. So she can feed on you and not have you squeal on her about it. Of course, they could be willing victims too. Or if they're not human, something in their blood could turn Rebekah off feeding on them. Basically? I'm flexible. Though she likes to feed to kill, considering the situation she'd probably try not to. Corpses draw more attention than compelled victims who cover up her tracks...

This is what I need to know:

1) Is it alright for Rebekah to compel your character (werewolves and witches are immune to this compulsion, if your character is anything other than human or vampire they may also be immune—it's entirely your choice)?

2) Is it alright for Rebekah to feed off of your character? If yes, please specify whether or not your character's blood possesses any qualities that might affect Rebekah in the event that he does feed off of them.

[slays]

Buffy:

1 - Buffy breaks compulsion as you well know.

2 - At your own risk.

Echo:

1 - Yes, but her memories would probably slowly return if she were compelled to forget or sth because of her magic spine.

2 - Yep

Lex:

1 - Yep

2 - Yep

[hasperkynipples]

Dean:

1 - Yep. Canonwise, controlling Dean can actually be rather comical.

2 - Yes, but at your own risk. Dean will take it a little personally and try to take her head off.

Stefan:

1 - Yes, but Stefan might take offense to it.

2 - ... Do you really want to?

Kate:

1 - Yep.

2 - Yep.

Neal:

1 - Yep.

2 - Yep.

[reaction]

Damon:

1. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Damon doesn't need to be compelled, Rebekah. Try asking.

2. If she wants to.

[imnot_likeyou]

HI KATIE, this is the TLO specific permissions comment.

1) Yes to Elena though she will lineface. In terms of Sam, IDK. Tifa and I agreed that due to his demon blood immunity it wouldn't work if Damon tried, but given that Rebekah is an Original it might be different? So I will leave that up to you.

2) Yes to both! Though Sam probably tastes funny.

[isthebird]

Including all the games to make this easier....

Bonnie @ BTR & TLO:
1 - Immune.

2 - That would be a yes, though I would prefer this to be a consensual thing on her part if it happens. That shouldn't be a problem in TLO, due to the circumstances. BTR is more iffy, but we'll see.

And now for some preemptive strikes...

Lana @ BTR:
1 - I hesitate to say yes due to the powers she has at her canon point, but I'm open to it.

2 - She can catch a bullet in her hand. Not sure it's even possible.

Valarie @ TLO:
1 - Maybe. I want to say yes, but I can't remember if whitelighters can be controlled in that way. Trekkin through Charmed right now, will edit later.

2 - Yes. Might have side effects, but we'll figure out what they are if/when it happens.

Bart

[flashingtheimpulse]

1) Yep: He isn't human, but mind control has been used on the Flash before so go for it.

2) Yep: No clue what sort of qualities it possesses though. Best guess is the taste and effects of drinking blood would be enhanced - like comparing diesel fuel (human) to jet fuel(Bart's blood).

[x5452]

1) Casual attempt to compel Max might not work, given her crazy genetics and being not-quite-human. Rebekah having to put a lot of focus into the compelling once she realizes just trying to wammy her will work for a while.

2) I don't have a problem with the idea of Rebekah feeding off Max, however Max's blood is super-charged and highly regenerative and Rebekah may find it extra super nummy delicious. If Rebekah wouldn't have the willpower to stop, I'd definitely don't want Max to be drained or vampirized. I don't mind her being brought to the bring, though!

[easily]

1. It would definitely be interesting if it ever came up and didn't work -- she's never really had to put effort in it.

2. Rebekah definitely has the willpower! she's a thousand years old, so she's had a long time to learn control.

[daydrinker]

1. Rebekah can't compel Alaric, I think. We could easily discuss this, but in Esther making him equal to her and her siblings (in the redheaded stepchild way), I'd probably go with, she could try but I don't even... know why she would try.

2. His blood is vampire blood but if she's attacking him? Shrug.

[easily]

I'd assume she can't -- and I think Rebekah would know that as he was made basically another Original.

[medicating]

For Liv, Leonard, and Granuaile:

1. Yes to all three.
2. Yes to all three, though not as willing volunteers. And if Granuaile racks up more of her abilities, she can fight back.

[krasnayapautina]

For my two humans there, as Hayley is immune to the compulsion:

Ziva:
1). Yep
2). Yep

Natasha (MCU version):
1). Sure
2). Sure

[velveteenwolf]

Peter
Compulsion: Yes. Even though he's a werewolf, in his canon werewolves are very much shown to be susceptible to it. However, given how his shift works I think there's a fair chance memory manipulation might not 'take'.

Feeding: Also a yes. He'd even potentially do it willingly if they talked about it. His blood is likely hotter than a human's since he has a higher body temperature. His blood possibly tastes "fresh". His body is pretty much reborn every time he shifts, so none of his blood cells are ever over 28 days (compared to the 120 day standard life cycle).


Alexis
Compulsion: I'm going to say no. He's a Fae noble and several thousand years old and I just don't see that sort of effect having too much weight against him.

Feeding: I'm sure she could. Alexis would be less willing about it than Peter.

In his canon, what his blood tastes like to vampires changes from moment to moment, and can causes strange effects, ranging from hallucinations, crying tears of blood, and can make the vampire more beautiful. Fae blood can also intensify emotions in vampires to a point that can border on lunacy depending on a person's willpower. And for a period of time typically ranging from 24-72 hours, they count as Enchanted for purposes of Fae magic.

Stella:

Beverly Crusher ethnobotany

Ashley Magnus panicswitched

Yuna seahibiscus

Rue treetopper

Beverly
1) Yes
2) Yes

Ashley
1) Yes, she sadly does not have mind control immunity. THANKS, CANON
2) Yes, but her blood might taste a little weird? She's the daughter of two Source Blood-Abnormal parents and she's been genetically altered (partially by the Source Blood, which is pure Sanctuary-canon vampire blood). If it ever comes up, feel free to play with it.

Yuna
1) Yes
2) Yes

Rue
1) Yes
2) Yes

As always, ask first, but you know how I roll by now ♥

[toxic_tsarina]

1.} Yup. Just be prepared for the backlash afterward.

2.} Yes. A note on Natalia's blood! As of Easter/Agentmas, she'll likely have the Russian version of the Super Solider Serum back. Are you familiar with how that works, before I copypasta?

[easily]

I am not really, so pleast copypasta

[toxic_tsarina]

You got it.

Natasha is Russia’s first recipient of a modified version of the United States’ Super-Soldier Serum, a scientific concoction that’s given her greatly enhanced physical abilities. Her body operates at peak human capacity and she flaunts an extremely efficient physiology. She is as strong, agile, fast, and durable as a human woman can possibly be without earning superhuman classification. Still, she is deceptively strong and often surprises her foes with how well she uses her speed in conjunction with her physical might in order to take down foes as much as twice her size. Her senses, immune system, and healing faculties are similarly enhanced to peak levels.

In addition to the modified SSS she received from the KGB, Natasha was also subjected to bio-technological enhancement that works along with the serum to keep her youthful despite being born prior to WWII. However, she is certainly far from immortal. Natasha’s aging is merely slowed to a crawl rather than halted.

Because I am on this permissions post several times already, HERE'S ONE MORE.

Buffy has vervain jewelry from Bete Noire so compelling her probably wouldn't work, but if we needed her to be without it for plot reasons I can make that happen too, just let me know! Feeding on Buffy should involve asking first but Slayer blood helps vampires grow up big and strong as you are aware.

Alec is ridiculously easy to compel. Like insanely so. So go for it. If she's going to feed on him, he'd prefer if she asked first. Transgenic blood is loaded with stem cells and other bonuses, so it may give her a bit of a buzz.

Rory is human/compellable and can be fed from, if necessary. BUT given that he's Rory I'd prefer to approach stuff with him on a case-by-case basis.

Bo is compellable. I think. The show hasn't shown her to be immune to mind-altering Fae so I'm going to go with compellable. She doesn't have her blood thrall back yet, so feeding on her won't result in any loss of free will and she would probably give her blood to Rebekah if she asked/needed it, so that's cool. If this changes, I will let you know.

Bela is human/compellable, knows about vervain, and feeding on her is okay, but she probably won't react well to it.

Neal is human/compellable and also knows about vervain. He was on it in the castle, but with Katherine showing up in May, he may be trying to get it. (Not that he doesn't trust her but ... safety measure against others.) I'll let you know if he actually manages to find a merchant with it/Esther's secret stash/gets it as an item drop.

[rozpetac]

For Stiles:
1. Yes.
2. Sure - though he's a little bit magic so that might add a little something to the taste.

For Pan (OC)

1. Sure though it might be a little harder than she's used to.
2. Sure, he's only part human and part something magical - not sure what it will do to the taste.

Anne Boleyn

[ensorceler]

1) Go for it! Anne has actually been on the delivering end of mind control so it'd almost be justice for it to happen to her once or twice.

2) This I'd hold off on too much unless relevant to current plot or character events going on at the moment, so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to force drama on her.

[the_rorster]

Rory Keaner
1) Sure! In his canon, he seems pretty susceptible to this.
2) Well, he's a vampire, but if she really wants to...

Rocket
1) Yes.
2) It's fine, but it will taste like raccoon blood.

eway | alistair grout

[malkavialogist]

1) Entirely yes! Grout is also a vampire and he's familiar with a similar kind of eye-contact mental compulsion, so he may realise he's been controlled and be annoyed. Unless she can also compel people to not realise? In which case lol Grout you're out of luck (with permission he could still find out with clairvoyance but that wouldn't be a given)

2) I say absolutely yes (though let me know first pls). Grout is not a fan of the idea. Rebekah might also not enjoy it, because while Grout's blood contains all the five food groups, drinking it is addictive, can cause mild-to-serious thralldom, and over time can upset the drinker's mental stability. So it's not a great long-term dietary item.

1. Chloe wears vervain given to her by Freya at all times (I'm only about halfway through season 2 and was under the impression that vervain works on the Originals too, so please correct me if I'm wrong!). That said, I am definitely down for any kind of compulsion shenanigans that may arise in the future and could definitely put Chloe in a position where she can be compelled.

2. Depending on how things play out between them, Chloe wouldn't LOVE it and probably won't offer unless it is absolutely necessary. That said, depending on what kind of CR they end up having (and the fact that she's close to Klaus and Freya) will influence that. It can again definitely be something we could discuss or plot at some point!

Chloe is collecting all the vampires. :D
