ooc

BACKTAGGING: Yes.
THREADHOPPING: For network threads, go for it. For logs, most of the time I’ll be good with it, but I like a heads up first.
FOURTH-WALLING: For Lucifer, I’d prefer not for his actual canon. For everything else involving the Devil? Go for it!
ACTION VS PROSE: I don’t mind the occasional action thread, but I do prefer prose.
PROSE:I’m Australian, which means my timezone generally doesn’t match everyone elses. I will generally tag at least once a day, but my ability to boomerang will depend upon the alignment of the planets.

ic

PHYSICAL CONTACT: Go for it, but expect hugs to be awkward.
RELATIONSHIPS: Romantic relationships are possible, but pretty unlikely considering Lucifer’s general playboy ways.
KISSING / SEX: ICly, Lucifer will always be up for this. Always. Getting him into bed is not hard. OOCly however, I’m not interested in playing out smut. So, any sex that happens will involve a fade to black and/or general offscreen handwaving, possibly involving all sorts of sexual noodle incidents that can be referenced for fun.
FIGHTING: Go for it, although Lucifer does have angelic durability and strength, which would make any fight with a standard human basically a curb stomp battle. Angels and demons are definitely able to hurt Lucifer; other supernatural abilities are likely to as well, but could potentially go either way.
INJURIES: Discuss it with me first!
KILLING: Discuss it with me first!

desire manipulation opt out/in

Lucifer has the ability to bring out people’s desires. There’s two ways that this presents itself - first, he’s able to compel people to confess their deepest desires to him. This requires both eye contact and for Lucifer to ask the person what it is they desire. The answers he gets back will vary from person to purpose - he’s gotten anything from a model confessing that she wants a cheeseburger to confessions from murderers that they wanted people dead. The answers don’t necessarily have to be the complete story - they can leave things out - but they do have to be the truth, and most end up answering follow up questions truthfully as well.

The second way Lucifer brings out decides is by being able to lower people’s inhibitions. He can choose to ramp this up as a way to get people to be more likely to give into their desires, but it’s on a lower level it’s always there (usually to the effect of making people want to bone him and being very charmed by him). The end result is that people tend to find Lucifer very, very attractive, and are likely to want to sleep with him even if that goes against their own better judgement. But, I do play this as a being a case of Lucifer only being able to bring out desires that are already there, not create them. So, someone with zero attraction to men isn’t going to want to sleep with Lucifer no matter how hard he ramps up the charm - he can only bring that out if there’s some level of desire there to begin with.

In both cases, there are exceptions: anyone angelic or demonic in nature is immune to Lucifer’s desire mojo abilities, as are people who have strong divine influences (such as Chloe, who is a literal miracle due to her birth only occurring because an angel blessed her parents). Significant exposure to Lucifer also seems to make them more resistant over time to his ability to reduce inhibitions.

Since these abilities are potentially seriously squick-inducing, I’ve set up a form below where you can let me know what level of desire mojo you’re comfortable with, or if you’re character is one who could be immune to it.

<strong>Character name:</strong> Self explanatory <strong>Journal:</strong> <user name=""> <strong>Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability:</strong> If your character is an angel or a demon, great! They’re immune. Do they have any significant divine influences? They’re probably immune as well. If they have any other canon abilities that might impact this, note them here. <strong>What level of desire manipulation are you okay with?</strong> If you don’t want Lucifer to ask your character’s deepest desire, or have any affect on their desires and manipulations, let me know and I’ll make sure to avoid that in our threads.

Alternatively, if you’d rather opt-out of threading with Lucifer entirely, fill out the following form. If you could list all characters you'd like to opt-out, that'd be great.

Character name: Wanda Maximoff
Journal: divaricate

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Probably not, no. She's an enhanced human, thanks to a powerful stone in her canon that harnesses part of the power of the universe.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm okay with pretty much anything, but if it's going to be a big plot thing, we can hash it out beforehand! ICly, Wanda can't say shit about this kind of power since she has mental powers of her own. Teach her some cool tricks, Lucifer??? :D

Character name: Sara Lance
Journal: canaria

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Probably not. She died once, then was resurrected by a magical pit of water called the Lazarus Pit, which left her with bloodlust. So when she gets too into a fight, she snaps and fights to kill.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm OOCly okay with pretty much anything, but if it's going to be a big plot thing, we can hash it out beforehand!

Character name: Hayley Marshall-Kenner
Journal: louisianawolf

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Also probably not. She's dead, technically (werewolf-vampire), but so is pretty much everyone else Lucifer is used to interacting with.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm OOCly okay with pretty much anything, but if it's going to be a big plot thing, we can hash it out beforehand! ICly, Hayley haaaaaates this kind of stuff, so if he wants to piss her off really fast, this is how.

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Yep -- she's a Magistrate.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? It wouldn't work on her, but he's welcome to try. Also, she flirts a lot so uh lmao.

[mockeryofthedivine]

Thank you! So far I'm just planning to play it by ear and see what comes up, but I will indeed let you know if it looks to be any kind of big plot thing.

And sadly I don't think it's something Lucifer will be able to teach Wanda - it's an inherent ability rather than anything taught or learned - but could be fun to see how things go all the same :P

[waypastasking]

Character name: Steve Rogers/Captain America
Journal: waypastasking
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: He is a chemically enhanced human being, so he has no immunuty.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? The above being said, he doesn't like being manipulated, but OOC'ly I'm fine with it. I would like some discussion beforehand, so I as a player know what to expect, but anything is pretty much fair game.


Character name: Felicity Smoak
Journal: notthatblonde
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Not immune, just a regular old human.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? With Felicity, given the fact that she babbles her life story at will, I am completely fine with anything. OOC'ly I'm fine with it. I would like some discussion beforehand, so I as a player know what to expect, but anything is pretty much fair game.

[mockeryofthedivine]

Sure thing, I'll definitely give you a heads up if Lucifer's going to start pulling anything! In terms of his general tendency to make people want to bang him lower inhibitions, I'm pretty much just planning to let people play that at whatever level they want / do not want.

[bethebetterpath]

Character name: Charles Xavier
Journal: bethebetterpath

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability:
Charles is a telepath. I don't think he'd be immune, but I'd love to play around with that with you. Maybe he tries to block him but fails or he knows what Lucifer is doing and realizes it, but can't stop it. Something like that? Thoughts?

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm okay with most anything. Charles does have some very strong dreams he never admits to anyone, at least in my head.

[mockeryofthedivine]

If you'd like Charles to have some level of resistance / ability to know what Lucifer's doing but not block it, I'm good with that! Since Lucifer's canon is devoid of characters who have any kind of abilities that aren't divine or demonic in nature, anything outside that can go either way really, depending on how you want to play it.

I also wouldn't think that Lucifer would have any kind of resistance to Charles ability in turn - although if Charles reads Lucifer's mind I imagine it might feel a little different to a human's.

Character name: Daniel 'Dan' Cain
Journal: fuckingpretty
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Nope, he's 100% human and super game for being messed with. :D
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? You have my permission to do whatever you want. This guy is brimming with desire and works hard not to fall too deeply into it because he's an 80's guy who's worried about being attracted to guys and disappointing everyone and all this other mess that is Dan Cain.

[sleight_of_fate]

Character name: Jared Rhys, Wolf
Journal: sleight_of_fate afterthefire
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Rhys has magic tattoos that protect against mind control but honestly, the actual Devil will blow that out of the water. I'm completely fine with him being vulnerable to this ability! He tends to be a very honest person in general.
Wolf is a vampire and the walking dead. I'm not sure where this falls, but I'm okay with him being compelled. His answers just might not be as heartfelt and honest as Rhys's. (Or might just default to "Blood".)

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm okay with full speed ahead! Wolf will be cagey because Wolf is always cagey.

[mockeryofthedivine]

If you do want Rhys or Wolf's abilities to come with some resistance to Lucifer, I am good with that! With this sort of stuff, I'm pretty happy to just roll with whatever level of resistance you want / would find the most fun.

[withafnpencil]

Character name: John Wick
Journal: withafnpencil
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: No, John is human.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm okay with everything, though I should note that John's mindset was pretty hyperfocused on seeking vengeance for personal reasons and has killed A LOT (approx 205) people in roughly 5-6 days (across two movies). As well, he will still be grieving the loss of his wife who passed roughly a week before his arrival to CoS. So, with that being said, the second way will likely result in no response from John.

[mockeryofthedivine]

Not having any lowered inhibitions / inexpleacable urges to want to bang Lucifer is all good! I'm happy to just roll with whatever level people want forthis sort of thing.

City of Sin

[torsion]

Character name: Jill Valentine
Journal: torsion
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: No, though Jill is immune to any and all types of viral infections/illnesses/etc., if that becomes relevant.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I'm alright with just about anything, but if it's anything heavier I'd prefer it discussed first! Unfortunately, she'd probably be pretty boring (my guns, my baseball cap, my partner, etc.)...

[mockeryofthedivine]

Lucifer's ability doesn't work like an infection ot anything, so that's not going to factor here. In terms of his ability though, if he ever wants to try and make her confess her desires I will certainly ask first!

[redarrowqueen]

Character name: Thea Queen
Journal: redarrowqueen
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Vanilla human
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? She just escaped an island where sex was basically forced, if no sex happened she would die. So light on the smut while she deals with that? But she will flirt in the meantime :) Beyond that ask if in doubt!

Character name: Tulip O'Hare
Journal: boo_berry
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: She's human but her boyfriend is a preacher.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? She won't cheat on Jesse but beyond that I'm down to plan things out for when the time comes! Right now she mostly wants her guns and booze.

And more FYI: she's pure AMC in terms of canon/timelines since she's from a comic adaption.

[mockeryofthedivine]

Lucifer might be All About The Sex, but he's also very big on free will and choice and consent. So he'll actually find her forced sex island pretty horrifying, really. He's likely to not flirt at all with Thea once he learns about it as a result.

Also, what's AMC referring to? I don't think I'm familiar with that term, I'm afraid!

@ city of sin

[getgabbin]

Character name: Genn Graymane
Journal: getgabbin
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: He's a cursed human basically, aka Worgen. While the curse has its roots in a divine power, I doubt it really confers any immunities to this particular ability.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? You can go ahead and ask, but lowering inhibitions and screwing with emotions would be something dangerous when it comes to Genn, given his curse and how it's kept under control. His self-control and reign on his emotions keep it in check, thus if that leash is loosened, it's possible he's apt to shift forms and depending on the situation it happens in, that could range from hilarious to disastrous. Yet, I'm not saying no don't do it, because it could be interesting regardless, just need to be cautious about when or where it happens.

[mockeryofthedivine]

If you'd like him to have some resistence / immunity, I think him having a divine curse could be reason enough! Depends what's mre interesting to you, really - either way works.

Journal: katerrifically

Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: No immunity. Kate is a mutant with a healing factor and can let people 'borrow' it but those powers are currently being suppressed right now.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? Anything's fine. She's going to be so upset with herself. It'll be great.

Character name: Sonia Nevermind
Journal: properprincess
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Sonia is pretty much a normal human. However, she's been messed about with by some wicked voodoo hypnosis that turned her into an empty shell that wanted nothing but to turn the world into a pit of despair, so.... she, uh, is a bit better?
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? I am okay with Lucifer trying to pull out any of her secrets. She's pretty open, in normal and despair form.

[cadeuces]

Character name: Dr. Angela Ziegler (callsign: Mercy)
Journal: cadeuces
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Not a one! She's a regular ol' human, despite the (tech) halo.

What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? he is 100% welcome to ask her about her desires and also gag when they're lofty things like "help others in need however possible" and "see the world in a better place" and know that they're genuine and she's really just that hopeful in the world. it will really depend on her mood at the time but sometimes it will be things like craving companionship and just wanting someone to sleep next to or someone to dote on and he is also 100% allowed to influence that. she will likely find him charming/attractive and he's free to act on that too! I'm down for it all and she's an open book, like, show her where to get a good cup of coffee and she'll be a loyal friend to the end.

Journal: intuitive_aptitude
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: NOPE
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? LOTS AND LOTS. I mean seriously. Sylar is super overpowered but they literally gave him zero mental or emotional defenses (probably on purpose). Fair warning, going too hard into Sylar's deepest desire might result in him trying to kill you — but it's something he's worked to suppress for quite some time now. I do not object to having him go back to that dark place, but maybe not something we do on day 1.

Journal: aworld_onfire
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Nah. But he isn't attracted to men at all, so there will be less seduction times as compared to my other boy.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? The first kind is good!

[blueberry_bamf]

Character name: Kurt Wagner, "Nightcrawler"
Journal: blueberry_bamf
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: Kurt has a very strong Catholic faith as well as having interacted with tons of beings who identify themselves as angelic or demonic. At one point he was the possessor of a divine weapon, the Soul Sword. There's also the fact that his dad claims to be Satan but we all know that's a bunch of BS. In short, I would expect he has at least some ability to resist Lucifer's machinations, or at least identify them for what they are even if he's weak to them.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? Kurt is used to temptation. His mun loves tormenting him. Sooooo... Yeah. You're all good on this front.

[mockeryofthedivine]

If he's got demonic heritage, that could give him some kind of resistance! If not, then we can just say that excessive exposure to the divine / demonic has given him some.

Since it sounds like you'd like there to be some level of temptation tho, we can basically say that Kurt has as much (or as little) resistance as you want him to?

[circumspector]

Character name: Angel the Siren
Journal: circumspector
Does your character have any immunities to Lucifer’s ability: So her changes came at the hands of the Fog God, and before that is a weird existence because of ancient Aliens that make sirens ( my canon is nonsense ), that being said, one of her weaknesses from her changes is being able to fly into a rage and is more emotionally volatile as well. So I think it's possible!! But it could result in stomping, so much stomping.
What level of desire manipulation are you okay with? It's A-Okay if he wants to find out everything. To that I'll give my own warning for just in case: Angel comes from Pandora and she is like... relatively a nicer person than a lot of people in her canon? That is, not saying much because... they also eat babies on Pandora, like cut off people's skin to wear their faces - literally. IT'S AN AWFUL PLACE. She's only eaten one guy, herself, but she's also totally immune to so much violence. Additionally, her story is one long tale of horrific child abuse, drug ablism and so on. So also feel free to let me know if you're unsure about anything in particular.

[mockeryofthedivine]

I'm not familiar with her canon I'm afraid, so I don't know whether the 'Fog God' would count as a divine influence. Sounds like we go could either way in terms of whether she'd have any immunity? Up to you!

And if she doesn't have immunity, the only thing he's really able to make people confess are their desires. So unless eating babies is a thing she desires, she wouldn't be forced to confess it. Makes sense?
