Mina is a V:TR vampire. As such, she has some powers. Some of them might do things to you. Take a look at her abilities below and post to let me know what is and isn't okay to do to your character. And remember, saying "Talk to me first" is a perfectly reasonable thing! I'm super nice and a squishy person.

Vampire Powers
Command: Mina can issue a one-word command that must be obeyed, provided she can make eye contact with her victim and provided that the victim can follow this command with reasonable self-preservation. Should the command be something akin to "sleep" then the victim will immediately wake upon any kind of attack.

Mesmerize: Mina can implant a suggestion or false thought. She can give the victim a specific order to follow which lasts until the task is completed or until the end of the month.

The Forgetful Mind: Mina can doctor a subject's memories. She pacifies the subject and can search for memories in the subconscious. As the subject recites the memory aloud, she can alter it, erase it, or implant new memories verbally.

Rigor Mortis: A Cruac ritual, this ability allows Mina to freeze the muscles of an enemy for a short period of time, making it difficult for them to move. It is much more effective on supernatural creatures than regular mortals.

Path of Thorns: Yet another Cruac ritual, this spell allows Mina to transform the ground around her into a lethal jumble of briar.

Hawthorn Barrier: A ritual similar to Path of Thorns, this bit of Cruac allows her to create a wall of hawthorn that is difficult to penetrate.

Feeding
Well, naturally, a vampire needs to drink blood. Mina is not the sort of person who drains a human dry. That's an enormous waste. In general, she takes about three pints per feeding. And here's the bonus: Being bitten by a V:TR vampire totally feels like a sexual experience. That's right. You'll enjoy being bitten.

Anyway, normally, Mina will just dominate someone to forget that she bit them, but if anyone's willing to donate blood, she's on board with that. Tell me how you feel about that!

part i.
Character name: Dr. Mina Barrett
Fandom: Vampire: The Requiem (OC)
Species (vampire, werewolf, what have you): Vampire (Ventrue)
Character powers: TBA

part ii.
1.) Is it acceptable for your character to be mind-controlled or persuaded? How susceptible are they to mind control, hynotism, or suggestion? It is acceptable, however, Mina is not terribly susceptible, so it requires someone with a substantial amount of power.
2.) Is it acceptable for your character to have their mind read? Does this include traumatic memories? What is their mind like (disturbing, orderly, joyful, surprisingly empty, etc.)? If the character has psychic walls or preventative measures against psychic interference, please explain. It is acceptable for Mina's mind to be read. Generally speaking, her mind is very orderly, but there is a streak of romance in it. She is always thinking a few steps ahead, but she has a soft spot that isn't terribly well-hidden.
3.) Are thoughts mentioned in narration acceptable for a telepath to pick up? Absolutely.
4.) What about emotions, in the case of an empath? What sort of general emotional reading would such a character receive from yours? In general, Mina's emotions tend to be bright and cheerful. She is a happy person, for the most part. When she is under stress, however, she becomes very calculating and restrained. This kicks in primarily when she is in a fight. Similarly, she does not take kindly to being insulted. Given the size of her ego, she will lash out when she feels insulted, especially if the insult is gender related.
5.) Are there any aspects of your character's mind, emotions, or memories you would like to be picked up, mentioned, or used in character? Conversely, is there anything that should not be noticed, or at least never mentioned? Not at this time.

part iii.
1.) Physically speaking, what stands out about your character? Imposing size? Physical scarring? Tattoos?Mina could not be called a ravishing beauty, but she is pretty enough. She has tomboyish, short brown hair and greenish-blue eyes. She appears to be around her mid-twenties, with a pronounced, British accent. There are three distinguishing characteristics of note on her body; she has a tattoo on her left shoulder made up of As and Vs (http://silverjester.deviantart.com/art/The-Valkyrien-Amazons-166486674), she has an ugly scar from a branding iron in the shape of a P on her right arm, and she has a matching scar on her right thigh. In general, Mina tends to enjoy wearing suits and ties. Her favorite colors are red, black, and purple. She often wears a fedora, often tucking her hair under it to look more boyish. On each hand, she wears four rings, collected throughout her sordid past. Additionally, she wears a silver chain with another ring, around her neck, usually tucked into her collar. Mina also wears an earring in her right ear.
2.) Is your character immune to any of the following: poisons, chemical agents, telekinetic influence, radiation, or types of illnesses? Mina is immune to poison, chemical agents, low levels of radiation, and most illnesses. She is not immune to telekinetic influence or high levels of radiation, although the damage it deals is significantly less critical and easily healed once she is out of range.
3.) Is your character physiologically different from a human in any way? This can include their blood, skin, hair, etcetera being made up of something unusual or simply differing in construction and durability. Mina's blood is vampire blood, known as vitae. It has certain properties that normal, human blood does not have. If a human ingests her blood or has it transfused, it stops their aging process for a month at a time and endows them with lower levels of Mina's vampiric abilities. It also turns them into her thrall for a month at a time, a creature known as a ghoul. This manifests itself as a sort of high school crush. The person may daydream about Mina, even experience strong emotions towards her, but it will wear off after a month, unless they are given more blood. If someone ingests Mina's blood at the point of death, they become a vampire. Mina's skin, meanwhile, is paler than usual and highly durable to most kinds of injury, except fire and sunlight.
4.) Are you amenable to having your character be harmed in any way? How far are you comfortable with injury to you character going? Does this include being fed on by vampires, willingly or unwillingly? Mina's a tank, so she can take a lot of damage. Feel free to bash, shoot, or grapple with her, just don't stake (without talking to me first) or kill her.
5.) Is it acceptable for other characters with abilities of shapeshifting or disguise to imitate your character? Does this include ability mimicry? Sure, just contact me first.

part iv.
1.) Can your character's presence or aura be noticed by other characters, and how would it look/feel to them? How would it manifest to a character with no supernatural abilities, if at all? To those without supernatural abilities, Mina registers as a normal human. Vampires, however, can pick up a predator's taint which indicates that she is a vampire. Likewise, anyone with the ability to read auras would be able to detect a certain "dead" quality to Mina's aura. She has very high levels of expression at her command, so if she is in a group setting and is "performing" in some way, she does draw attention.
2.) Can your character be affected by magic spells and curses? Yes.
3.) Can your character be affected by sin and corruption, and be tempted toward expressing their darker urges (of whatever flavor)? Yes.
4. What sort of sins is the character prone toward, and how might they best be tempted, if you are interested in such an event? Of the seven deadly sins, Mina is most susceptible to greed. However, recent events in her life before Baedal have also left her particularly vulnerable to lust.
5.) Are you amenable to the character receiving prophetic visions, including as part of a plot? Sure.

part v.
1.) Is canon-puncturing or fourth-walling acceptable? We encourage people to tread extremely lightly with allowing their character to learn they are fictional. Since Mina is an nWoD OC, probably not, but if someone is desperate to do so, they are welcome to talk to me about it.
2. Is threadjacking allowed? Under what circumstances? Absolutely. Pretty much under any circumstances.
3. Is it acceptable for canonmates that are updated further than yours to inform your character of events yours has not yet experienced? Not really applicable.
4. Are there triggering or upsetting topics you would like other characters to avoid mentioning to yours for the sake of continued comfort (racist words, homophobia, self-injury, etc.)? Nope.
5. Are there any additions you would like us to make to this survey? Nope.
