notsogreedyRegarding his abilities!
I'll start with this part since this requires a response. Ankh is something called a Greeed, and that means he has an ability to sense the desires of others. He will prettymuch always be able to tell whether there is something a character really deeply wants, but without context he might have trouble figuring out the specifics. Most of the time, he can get a sort of general category, like if it's something material, or violent, or something about other people they know, etc--but he probably won't know what things or people or whatever specifically without conversation cues. There will be some questions here in a second so I can know what he might be picking up from your character.
For the sake of complete information, if someone has a particularly strong desire for something he can make something called a Yummy, which would involve the person spawning some kind of bird monster, then getting kidnapped and stuck somewhere while the monster goes out and runs rampant gathering whatever the desire was and bringing it back to the host, who is usually horrified by this point. Ankh will probably not do this, but I'll include it on the list in case it ever comes up. You can also find more info on how Yummies work here.
So without further ado:
Is there something your character deeply desires? Yes/No
How much? On a scale of 0 (Desire? What desire?) to 10 (I WILL HAVE THE THING IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO), how badly do they want it?
What is the thing? Describe your desire here.
Should he bring it up? This is an OOC question. He doesn't go out of his way to bring things up unless he has a reason (but that could theoretically just be curiosity), so I can play with anything from never saying anything outright to openly poking at it, whatever sounds best to you.
Yummy? Only applies with a pretty strong desire, but would you volunteer your character to spawn a crazy bird monster if he ever decides to do that?
Anything else? For example, does your character have any kind of special circumstances (like being psychically shielded, etc) that will change how Ankh will read it? (OOCly just not wanting him to pick up certain pieces is fine, too.) Or anything else that you think is worth noting goes here.
Feel free to ask questions, also.

Backtagging: Feel free! I would ask to keep it within a week if it's in a game context, though, unless we've talked about it. Game plot moves on and in that case it's usually better to handwave the rest of old threads. But for a meme or psl, whenever works.
Threadjacking: Ask first, but it'll probably be fine.
Fourthwalling: See above.
Offensive subjects: Nothing comes to mind, but please respect if I ask to back off of something.
[IC]
Flirting with this character: Would probably be hilarious. Go for it, but don't expect to get anywhere.
Hugging/kissing this character: If you don't mind getting yelled at, shoved away, and/or punched.
Sex with this character: Highly unlikely.
Fighting with this character: No issues here. Depending on the situation he'll either fight back or quickly find a way to leave. ...and if we're talking arguments in general, he tends to start them.
Injuring this character: Probably depends on the circumstances, so ask me. Minor injuries should generally be fine.
Killing this character: Again, ask me.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Despite having some psychic abilities himself, he probably isn't well shielded against this so go right ahead.

Date: 2016-06-04 10:35 pm (UTC)How much? Well, going by the list it starts at 10 and goes down to a 6.
What is the thing? The one on top right now would be a desire to have his wife with him. Mingled with that is another desire of restoring what they were before the cracking of the Dark Mirror, which pretty much nix any holy attacks against them. Settling a little beneath that is a desire to fight Ryuuga and winning over him again. Then there is a want for the Demon Castle Ladan and of course the destruction of CERES, hopefully at his hands via Ladan since it is so cool.
Should he bring it up? Go ahead, talk about his wife. She's beautiful and sexy.
Yummy? Well. Could Ankh make a Yummy out of a Demon-eating Demon? Seriously that's what Jinga is at this point.
Anything else?
dunno
no subject
Date: 2016-06-05 03:12 am (UTC)How much? Very much so
What is the thing? She wants her friends to be safe and happy, and she wants to be able to help them get there.
Should he bring it up? Only if he really wants to hurt her feelings
Yummy? Considering that this isn't a tangible thing but an intangible one? I'm not sure how easy that would be.
Anything else? Explanation on whether Shitburd should bring this up: part of Felicia's desire to help others is selfish in nature, because being helpful and 'useful' to someone makes her feel like she has a purpose. She has major self-confidence issues stemming from her clumsy nature and her self-comparison to her twin sister. Her sister is faultless in Felicia's eyes, and is the role model that Felicia is constantly working toward.
The bigger question here is how badly does Ankh want to hurt her feelings, and how he feels about sudden freezing temperatures.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-05 04:28 am (UTC)How much? 10
What is the thing? he's got a lot of desires tbh and they're all more or less related to each other. basically, he wants to go home so he can go back to the Shinsengumi, he wants to do his best to serve the Shinsengumi in the only way he wants to (by murdering), he actually really wants to just help achieve Kondou's dream (who's the leader of the Shinsengumi and dreams of serving Japan and the shogunate). ALL OF HIS DESIRES ARE TIED TO THE SHINSENGUMI. ultimately, he just. doesn't want to turn out useless or weak or die without a sword in hand. he's sad.
Should he bring it up? SURE Souji probably won't react well, but feel free to work with this in however way you'd like!
Yummy? IF IT WORKS... I guess the Yummy could go out and murder people and bring back Souji dead bodies or get medicine for tuberculosis that souji can take? im laughing I have no idea
Anything else? Souji's a rasetsu aka a vampire! he was once human, but now he's just a monster with a human consciousness, so he can still control his rasetsu self at this point in time.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-05 06:59 am (UTC)How much? I say ranges from 8-10. 10 being pretty bad day
What is the thing? Ishtar just wants to be with the people she loves and she doesn't want to lose anyone important to her. It's to a point where she would sacrifice herself for the safety of the people she cared about. Ishtar is mostly emotionally driven by what's important to her. So anything is a go from the people she cared about the most to her needs and wants to be home where she can see the faces of those she loved that aren't here in this game.
Should he bring it up? I am sure it's a possibility. She's not the type to be secretive but she'll withhold information unless she's forced to answer or put on the spot etc. So we can just discuss when that time comes.
Yummy? Yes? That would be funny to watch it kidnap her important people and stuff.
Anything else? Nothing much else. If there's anything worth mentioning later I'll bring it up ~
no subject
Date: 2016-06-06 02:52 am (UTC)How much? at most, a 5. She's very reserved in such matters.
What is the thing? The happiness of others, especially those closest to her. (You can see why I say she's reserved)
Should he bring it up? If he thinks it's relevant.
Yummy? If she were in an extremely emotional situation where this desire was felt all the stronger in the moment, then it's possible?
Anything else? Hikari...oh, gosh, I'm not even sure exactly how to explain it or if it's relevant to his Desires sensory ability...but she has a Light inside her. A special, possibly slightly spiritual ability, that allows her to sense the Hearts of others as well. Sort of empathic, but also this energy that he might be able to detect. It's mostly dormant until she experiences moments of great emotional distress, such as the death of someone fighting to protect her, or sensing the great distress of another, at which time she will literally start to glow and expel energy to such a degree that digimon creatures around her may even evolve to a higher power level, even if they're not HER partner.
Again, feel free to have him react to that at your discretion.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-07 05:30 pm (UTC)How much? Probably an 8
What is the thing? It's not so much tangible but Rise's main desire and goal is to be able to protect her friends and fight alongside them to keep them safe. She wishes to be stronger in other aspects to be on par with her friends and help even more than she does now. There's also the desire to be loved still.
Should he bring it up? If it's relevant! She only reveals it to a few people very selectively but if it's relevant I don't mind.
Yummy? Maybe if it's relevant but since it's not exactly a tangible thing I'm not sure how that would work out entirely!
Anything else? There sure is a Persona sitting in her soul, so Ankh could probably sense there's another energy inside her. As the party's navigator in her original game, Rise's Persona is only a scanning Persona which means when manifested Rise can use her to scan enemies and friends, find items, find monsters, track her friends, etc. This all ties in to her desire to keep everybody safe since she can absolutely sense when their health is dropping and what-have-you. Otherwise that's about all I can think!
no subject
Date: 2016-06-09 02:15 pm (UTC)How much? tops off at about a 9 - but there's a couple other varying desires as well.
What is the thing? The biggest thing right now is actually finding out more answers about what CERES is really up to and who's really on their side. You can thank the interlude for that one :| Other than that, he does miss his comrades and especially his girlfriend, so there is a pretty strong desire to at least have someone else from back home to talk shop with that's not an enemy/someone he wants to throw into a wall.
Should he bring it up? If necessary, sure!
Yummy? Probably not.
Anything else? Outside being a demon-slaying Knight, Ryuuga's also got his own weird psychometry abilities. Granted they don't get used very often, but he can get reads off of people's emotions/memories from objects they've touched. I'll let you know if and when that'd be relevant!
no subject
Date: 2016-06-11 09:41 pm (UTC)How much? Maybe a 7?
What is the thing? To have his parents get back together and have everyone in Cerealia be safe!
Should he bring it up? I don't mind!
Yummy? Sure, why not!
Anything else? Not really? Takeru is a 7 year old kid so he's pretty much an open book!
no subject
Date: 2016-06-13 04:26 am (UTC)How much? 10 for helping, but 0 for pretty much anything else, really
What is the thing? See above
Should he bring it up? He can if he wants!
Yummy? Sure, but I'm not sure if it would work?
Anything else? --
no subject
Date: 2016-07-11 04:54 pm (UTC)How much? enough to kill entire planets and his own family to get it!
What is the thing? new experiences, to see new worlds, mostly... also to be accepted by the rest of his race, listened to, and understood.
Should he bring it up? sure! it'll floor Qilby and probably get him a little pissy, which is good.
Yummy? sure, if he can actually do that!
Anything else? nahh
no subject
Date: 2016-07-11 04:58 pm (UTC)How much? 8? 8 sounds right.
What is the thing? To keep Shinjuku safe. That's his mission, his desire, and really the reason he's still alive at all.
Should he bring it up? Yeah sure go ahead.
Yummy? If you can, that'd be neat.
Anything else? Otoha's soul is currently caught up in a contract with the will of the city of Shinjuku so idk if that affects anything. ... Also Sea of Hearts being the whole thing of 'they're in each others' souls/hearts' might make things a bit weird, idk.
no subject
Date: 2016-07-11 08:33 pm (UTC)How much? As of right now, it's really, really subdued -- it's not a zero, but it's most definitely not higher than a two. Once she gets her love back, it'll jump to 1000/10 as in. It'll be the only thing she needs ever to the point where it's an obsession. It's just literally her only reason for living.
What is the thing? There's a diluted desire to go back home to Hajime, but it's notched down by a lot right now because the Cat took her love for him, ssso. :|a
Should he bring it up? Sure, go ahead.
Yummy? If he can, I'm down with it.
Anything else? Rei Hazama is a hypnotist -- she's a rather good one to the point that she was told that if she was in Hajime's world, she'd be the SHSL Hypnotist. While she's an excellent one, she's also an evil one; if she finds any weakness, she'll use it if she attempts to hypnotize him. Her hypnotism especially works with people who have experienced loss, so if you'd like to play that out, feel free to give me a head's up!
no subject
Date: 2016-07-12 01:09 am (UTC)Is there something your character deeply desires? At the moment... kind of?
How much? 1) 2/10 2) Right now it's about a 5/10, normally it'd be more like a 7 or 8/10.
What is the thing? 1) Wanting to go home/back to his own world. He'll probably want that more later on, but right now this place is new and interesting. 2) He wants to leave Pelican Town and move to the city and travel. Right now he thinks it's because he's living in a small town where there's nothing to do, but he's totally forgotten he lives in his parents' basement. He'd have a few others at a lower intensity but they've kind of been stolen from him right now.
Should he bring it up? Sure, he can.
Yummy? If it comes up, sure.
Anything else? nah
-Cerealia-
Is there something your character deeply desires? Kind of?
How much? 1) 2/10 2) About 7/10 3) Anywhere from 2/10 to 10/10, though that'll be lower now that he knows where to find them.
What is the thing? 1) Part of him wants to be sure his family really is alright, but honestly he's always wanted new places and adventure so he's actually pretty content here. 2) Going from that, he wants to explore more of the city and learn as much as possible about this world. 3) Cigarettes.
Should he bring it up? Sure why not.
Yummy? Seeing as we did this already...
Anything else? nah
no subject
Date: 2016-07-12 02:52 am (UTC)How much? a good 9 for both
What is the thing? 1. He can't remember it, right now, but his desire is his best friend A-ya. He wants to keep him safe, be with him, make sure that he doesn't leave C-ta, etc. 2. he doesn't want to be left alone. Right now he's lonely and wants ( needs ) someone to depend on him.
Should he bring it up? The second one, sure! The first one idk since it's not like C-ta can remember it so...but either way, expect a bad reaction.
Yummy? Definitely
Anything else?
no subject
Date: 2016-07-12 04:45 am (UTC)How much? 8/9, although she denies and fights it a lot, but deep down it's very important to her
What is the thing? to have a love that loves her deeply in return
Should he bring it up? Go right ahead
Yummy? If it came up and he could do it, I wouldn't be against it.
Anything else? Nope, I don't think so.
no subject
Date: 2016-07-15 01:22 am (UTC)How much? 10
What is the thing? To ensure he continues to exist after death. And to observe humans in all sorts of circumstances.
Should he bring it up? Sure thing.
Yummy? Sure!
Anything else? I look forward to this. He can totally sense whatever it is Izaya wants is connected to love. A very very strong love.
no subject
Date: 2016-07-25 07:07 am (UTC)How much? 7/8
What is the thing? Johnny wants to be able to walk again.
Should he bring it up? No preference. It's fine if he does.
Yummy? Yes.
Anything else? I don't know if Stand abilities count or not? I can give you some details on how those work if you need, but it's basically a physical manifestation of his will that fights on his behalf?
no subject
Date: 2016-12-19 11:58 pm (UTC)How much? Depends on which string of the ball gets yanked.
What is the thing? Telling would be cheating.
Should he bring it up? His ability? Sure. That he can sense a Thing? Best to get to know the Doctor first. (Minus the situation below.)
Yummy? Possibly?
Anything else? The Doctor is a touch telepath and has pretty strong defence mechanisms, so other than sensing that he has desires, it would probably be very hard for Ankh to ever know specifically what those desires are. That said, there are times the Doctor doesn't remember to block his thoughts - those times will be cited in the threads. (If nothing specific is mentioned, then assume the Doctor's defences are in play.) If you ever want Ankh to know something specific, I'm happy to PM about it to discuss it :)
no subject
Date: 2016-12-22 07:28 am (UTC)How much? 10/10
What is the thing? Silence. As in, she's got an unspecified mental illness in the schizoid family, and wants her hallucinations to shut up and leave her alone.
Should he bring it up? If it could possibly spawn an awesome thread, but maybe not casually.
Yummy? It's not a tangible thing, but maaaaaybe if you want to cause drama, the bird-monster could go after anything noisy and try to quiet it. But only if it gets to a point where you want to cause massive drama.
Anything else? Azula also has major issues regarding child abuse, torture, PTSD, and basically all the after-effects of being raised by a sociopath. :| Have fun.
no subject
Date: 2017-04-22 02:00 am (UTC)How much? Will be in tag most likely but it'll be a very light desire.
What is the thing? Freedom mostly
Should he bring it up? He can bring up anything, Marie is open to talking about whatever.
Yummy? I don't think she counts but if she does in the future then sure, we can plot it.
Anything else? Marie's permissions here. You don't need to reply but it's good to read the permissions part because she's usually a walking warning.
no subject
Date: 2017-04-23 04:38 am (UTC)How much? 9/10
What is the thing? to... stop the ancient elven god who wants to tear her world apart...
Should he bring it up? if he wants to, sure!
Yummy? probably not, since it wouldn't work anyway lmao
Anything else? nnnope
no subject
Date: 2017-05-26 02:16 am (UTC)How much? Probably an 8
What is the thing? It's not really a physical thing, but emotional - just to be accepted. She's still guilty over her time as a villain.
Should he bring it up? Sure!
Yummy? Go for it!
Anything else? N/A
no subject
Date: 2017-08-31 04:07 am (UTC)How much? Enough that he's abandoned all other desires. So 10 for sure.
What is the thing? To be "the strongest".
Should he bring it up? It's cool. Kamui doesn't hide it.
Yummy? Sure, though I'm not sure how it'd work. Kamui could potentially ask him to do it just so he can fight the Yummy.
Anything else? His desire for strength is actually a warped version of his original, more innocent desire to protect and be acknowledged by his family, if that's something Ankh would be able to sense. Bringing that up would unsettle Kamui.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-04 06:38 am (UTC)How much? IDK, 8-10? Somewhere in the higher end of things? :|a It's a pretty strong desire, anyhow.
What is the thing? That he could have saved/protected his dead baby brother.
Should he bring it up? Sure? It'd be a good way to get lots of immediate hostility, though.
Yummy? I'd be willing to volunteer him, but it's probably not applicable since it's impossible to fulfill his desire without literally altering history.
Anything else? No psychic shielding of any sort, go nuts.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 01:30 am (UTC)How much? 10
What is the thing? 1 - keep the world safe. Broad, but a general overarching desire of hers. 2 - find a way for Mon-El (her boyfriend) to be able to come back to Earth and not... die...
Should he bring it up? Sure!
Yummy? It'd be interesting to see a Yummy try to do a good deed or twelve to 'keep the world safe' or given Theian -swoop in to save the day if Kara can't/is tucked away. So... sure! But I don't think a Yummy could fetch Mon-El. He hopped in a spaceship and just went through a wormhole, so...
Anything else?Kara can't be mind controlled or mentally probed, but she is susceptible to magic, which I use to handwave a lot of compulsion or psychic hoobie whatties, so. That's kind of where she is. We can bs it and make it work if need be!
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 07:53 pm (UTC)How much? Probably with every fibre of his being.
What is the thing? On the surface? Money, sex, freedom. Under all that? His deepest desire is to not have to worry about the creature inside him. To truly die. But he's afraid of leaving people behind.
Should he bring it up? Oh man, sure. But it's deeply personal so expect Kenny to laugh it off.
Yummy? If you can swing it id be open to it!
Anything else? Kenny is a walking mass of complexes.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-07 10:33 am (UTC)How much? 10.
What is the thing? Power. Any sort of power she can get her hands on, she will take; be it friends, being stronger, pokemon. It's not even something that she's aware of doing.
Should he bring it up? Sure, but she'd be ???? over it, and it's probably something that needs to be talked about first.
Yummy? Uh, if it happens, sure.
Anything else? Pokemon Au that is complicated is complicated.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-04 11:16 pm (UTC)Is there something your character deeply desires? Yes
How much? 6-7 (1) and 10 (2)
What is the thing? 1) Approval, appreciation, validation. 2) More importantly, a reason to live. Something or someone who can fill his deep sense of internal emptiness.
Should he bring it up? He can if he wants to; I can roll with whatever.
Yummy? Sure, if it comes up.
Anything else? Nope!
Kaltz
Is there something your character deeply desires? Uh... sort of?
How much? 1) 1. It's been about 20 years and he's used to Kaya being very dead, and he knows what happens when you bring the dead back. And he wouldn't want her to see him as a devil anyway. 2) It'd be a 7 or so but Asato's not here so it's like. 2.5? since he can't do anything about it anyway from Khu, and is going to end up resigned to that, and Asato doesn't really want him around anyway so in a way Kaltz not being around is helping.
What is the thing? 1) To have Kaya back. 2) For Asato to be happy.
Should he bring it up? If he wants to
Yummy? How though
Anything else? Nope
no subject
Date: 2018-02-06 08:38 pm (UTC)How much? Probably never less than 5 and going up to 10, since it's part of his purpose and all.
What is the thing? The well-being, safety and comfort of people in general, but his own country's inhabitants in particular... For people to be treated with kindness and mercy and not have to be subject to or fight in war. Things like that.
Should he bring it up? He's free to! It might be more or less obvious anyway.
Yummy? He could try, though since his desires are all immaterial it'd probably be hard, and Enki's got at least one monstrous "body guard" who'd try to resist any kidnapping attempts.
Anything else? Probably not? Enki's desires are all tied to that he's practically both the representative of his country's population and his ruler's metaphorical conscience.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-07 12:29 am (UTC)How much? 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the thing? There's a bit of two fold, his biggest goal by far is to get his sister's eyes and possibly legs back to normal (most definitely her eyes). His other desire that he got more recently was to absolutely help his friends out and not let them die. He feels useless but he doesn't want to be trouble to them and will pretty much do whatever he can to protect them.
Should he bring it up? TBH, with his sister, Leo is likely to bring it up himself the topic happens to come up, but he's pretty cagey about his eyes. Ankh can bring it up, he'll just question how (its not like he's hiding either of those desires)
Yummy? That would certainly be interesting, though I'm not sure what the bird thing could do, since his desires are mostly not materialistic. One of his friends is in Aifaran with him so maybe that would affect something.
Anything else? Leo has special eyes of his own! Eyes of the Gods that can see anything and everything and it would be super helpful if you could fill out (or opt out) of anything Leo might be able to see that's strange Here. Otherwise looking forward to rp o7
no subject
Date: 2018-02-08 05:21 am (UTC)How much? literal 10
What is the thing? To put the ghosts to rest/get revenge on the Pharaoh - they're basically the same in his opinion.
Should he bring it up? It would definitely require some OOC plotting since he won't take kindly to it, but I'm open to the possibility!
Yummy? Sure
Anything else? Basically everything on the info page applies here, sorry.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-19 06:53 am (UTC)How much? ehhh, 6-7?
What is the thing? she would like the people she looks after where she can look after them. that is, her Librarian, Jenkins, and the three ... other Librarians. It's a long story, I can explain further if you want.
Should he bring it up? up to you! I'm not wedded either way.
Yummy? I'm not opposed
Anything else? I don't think there's anything that would specifically affect Ankh here? Eve's a little weird here and there but mostly just the person to go to for punching.
