SO AS EVERYONE HERE WHO'S READ/SEEN LOTR PROBABLY KNOWS, THE RING NEEDS A PERMISSIONS POST LIKE BURNING. HERE IT IS, FOR YOUR PERMISSION DECIDING PLEASURE.


So. People. Here's the deal:

The Ring is crazy manipulative. Like crazy manipulative. Also highly addictive. Also it corrupts mostly everyone who even looks at it like ever. it is magical heroin trufax guys It is highly persuasive and can do limited mindreading/telepathy stuff, and can gain a whole lot of control over most minds/wills given the time. TIME REQUIRED VARIES.

It can curse folks.

It can turn itself and folks invisible on the physical plane. They are highly visible on the non physical plane.

With the exception of invisibility, which requires physical contact, cursing, which requires conscious direction, and mindreading, which doesn't work so well from a distance, these powers are on all the time, including over the network. HOWEVER, the effect is much more watered down then it would be for someone meeting him in person. Over the network, in text the effect is all but nonexistent, video is the most effective (though still far less then if he was next to you), and voice is a happy medium. MOSTLY THE EXTENT OF ANY INFLUENCE HE HAS OVER THE COMMUNICATOR is to ping people as interesting and someone they want to get to know better.

So with this in mind: if your character is God, a god, the manifestation of something like a period of time, or something similarly unusual, the Ring may not work on them at all. This is up to you!

For everyone else, everything the Ring does requires time. How long it takes varies from person to person, ranging from split seconds to years to decades, and so forth. If you want to avoid all this evil, just say as much and we can assume they're one of the more absurdly strong-willed ones.

(If you don't want the ring to TRY to corrupt them, though, it may be best to just avoid interacting with it altogether, as that's what it tries to do by default, and what most of its powers are skewed towards)

If you want to opt out of everything, tell me and I'll do my best avoid your characters. For everyone else, please fill out the following:



Thank you for your time.

Character Name: Jack Bauer
Would the Ring have power over them? Yyyep.
Is it allowed to manipulate/corrupt them? Yes, pending discussion beforehand.
If so, what do you feel is a plausible timeframe for its effects to be noticeable? Jack has quite a few things in common with Boromir, so let's say the same time it took to break him.
Is it allowed to read their minds/use telepathy and to what extent? Everything related to Jack's personality and past is open; secrets involving other characters like locked conversations, not so much.
Curse them? Yes, pending discussion beforehand.
Would the Ring&any related parties be invisible to them? Yes
Anything else I should know: Jack's form of corruption would be under the 'use this power to do good and save people and destroy evil' variety. His willpower is absolutely epic, so the Ring will have much better luck as long as Jack doesn't know what's happening to him.
