Asgard Permissions: Perceiving

[attorneyatloud]

Apollo has an ability known as perceiving, which is amplified by the bracelet he wears. Basically, he can focus on the nervous habits and unconscious actions of others and sense tension in them.

A description of the bracelet (taken from the AA wiki):

The bracelet is made of a special alloy that changes size in response to body warmth. This allows the bracelet to fit perfectly around the wearer's arm. When the wearer senses a nervous habit, the wearer becomes slightly tense as well, and this causes very small muscle contractions that he or she does not normally notice. However, since the bracelet is always a perfect fit, the wearer can feel it tightening slightly when he or she becomes tense.

As his ability is inherited and not outside the range of possible human behavior, and the bracelet has a (sort of) scientific explanation, it will be functioning in Asgard, so Apollo should be able to perceive others' tension/strong emotional reactions and possibly tell when they are lying.

If you would like to have Apollo use his ability on your character, or alternately, if you would like him not to be able to use it, let me know here! Or if you have a specific plotting idea utilizing his ability, that would be great.

Or you could just write the nervous reactions into your tags so Apollo can notice them. That works, too!

Franziska's nervous tics are so obvious. Spinel's sometimes are too. Both might react violently to having these pointed out, but I'm okay with Apollo perceiving them.

And that ability would be handy in a casino. Let's go to Vegas, Polly.
