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: 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.
