This post includes a few more specific details about Tristan's powers and abilities! Please give it a read if you're playing with him ♥
The tl;dr is that I just suuuper appreciate people communicating regularly with me about comfort levels when playing with Tristan so everyone has a nice time. I will attentively read peoples' permissions posts and am totally happy just to just not get into any Situations with people or characters that wouldn't be fun. He's an incubus but he's also just A Guy, you know?
He's a demon
Tristan is a demon. More specifically, an incubus. Most of the time he doesn't look like it. But he doesn't exactly keep it too hidden anymore.
You're welcome to tell that he's a demon
Psychics or those with special senses are more than welcome to notice that he's a straight-from-hell bonafide demon. He doesn't do anything to hide that magically.
He's pretty powerful, but that's on the downlow
Baron of Hell, sleeper powerful, hoarding power for a few thousand years . . . he definitely is actively trying to cover that up. If your character is particularly attuned to that sort of thing and could get past his deflections etc etc I'm also fine with that, but noticing his Power Levels will make him pretty cranky in a way that "hey, you're a demon" won't.
He has a charm effect
He has a low-level charm effect on at all times AKA whew is it getting warm in here, this guy looks pretty hot, turns heads, etc etc. He keeps it dialled down to like a 2 because he prefers to seduce people the fun (and consensual) way, but if you're receptive to it, hey, it's there. OOCly if you don't want your character to be affected by it, they simply are not. He can turn this up to being powerful but he basically never does.
He's not going to do anything non-consensually
Tristan can tell if people are into him, but magically/otherwise seducing people against their will is NOT his jam. If a character's not sure about it, he's not going to do it. Please feel free to play with the charm effect having an impact, but Tristan knows his limits and is not going to take advantage of anyone.
tl;dr I super don't want to play with any sort of noncon or even dubcon situations, which includes "I was made to be attracted to this incubus against my will oh nooo" etc. Even as an amnesiac Tristan will be very attentive to this.
(The normal amount of someone being cranky about thinking a hot guy is hot and nice is fine dfskgjhl. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE GRUMPY ABOUT LIKING HIM that's normal).
He can/does drain energy from people during sex
Like vampires with blood, etc. If this happens, I'll let you know—usually it just results in people needing extra sleep, feeling kind of sluggish, etc. Nothing permanent or damaging. But it may be something they notice—and let me know if you think they'd have an ability or something that would interfere or make things weird.
(Normally he'll Ask First but I might play a little bit with him forgetting about this early on because that's a bit funny).
He can shapeshift
In a lot of lore, incubi are known for changing shape into whatever is most attractive to people. Tristan . . . doesn't really do this. He likes looking like himself. And you can very well find that attractive and be okay with that (he thinks). But he CAN and he will shapeshift, usually just for work, or for fun. So, you know. He takes requests. [SKILL NOT CURRENTLY REGAINED]
He can tell what people are into (sexually, romantically, etc)
Keep me in the loop on things OOCly if there's something that you want Tristan to pick up on. He probably won't be too rude about it, but . . . okay, sometimes he'll be a little rude about it. But he can instinctively tell what someone's Type is, what they enjoy, and so on.
He can sense emotions, especially if he's touching someone.
Touch-based empathy! If Tristan is touching/kissing/whatever, I'll probably indicate in-thread, but please share information about feelings with me. He's also levelled this up to a point where he can sort of pick it up in general—sharing strong emotions in square brackets when hanging out with him is appreciated. [SKILL NOT CURRENTLY REGAINED]
If anything else comes up at all, please just let me know!
