mypreciousSO 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.

Date: 2010-08-31 05:53 pm (UTC)Would the Ring have power over them? Depends on how it was done. She is a goddess, but she's easily manipulated by clever people.
(if the answer is 'no,' feel free to skip the next three questions)
Is it allowed to manipulate/corrupt them? Yes
If so, what do you feel is a plausible timeframe for its effects to be noticeable? Again it varies by how it's corrupting her.
Is it allowed to read their minds/use telepathy and to what extent? Read minds, yes she is an open book. Putting thoughts into her head through magic is a little harder.
Curse them? Sure
Would the Ring&any related parties be invisible to them? Yes.
Anything else I should know: Everything depends on how the manipulation is presented to her. She is a goddess so she does have strong defenses, but she can bring those down herself if she's manipulated into it. Example: If the ring offers her a chance to be invisible again (and leaves out being evil) she will happily put it on and open herself up to it. If however the ring is just pinging at her over the comm, it could likely read some of her thoughts, but wouldn't be able to manipulate them. I hope that makes sense.

Date: 2010-08-31 06:36 pm (UTC)That only works SOME of the time!With Aphrodite, the process would probably go something like this:
You are a Goddess.
You deserve respect.
Nobody here is respecting you.
You have power.
I grant you more power.
You should make people respect you, as you deserve.
etc.
