Raoul Silva

[several months after this initial interaction]

Rachette doesn't kick in the door. She's not a barbarian. But the door is definitely opened in a manner that is heavier and harder than strictly necessary. Being The Warden was pain enough; being a warden is...irritating.

"He talks too much."

That's a possibly very petty thing to complain to the mage (who has explained to her that he is not a mage, but she remains not entirely convinced of this) about his...companion? Compatriot? Person from his same world. But talking to her inmate, a man who seems to prefer the name Silva to any of the other potential names he could be going by, is as frustrating as talking to Sten sometimes. Roundabout. Never to the point. Why does nobody ever just say what they mean?

The dwarf huffs and blows a few strands of silver hair from her face. "He uses too many words in strange ways. Would it kill him to just talk like a normal person instead of blathering on? Before I kill him."

She won't. That's not what she's here for, and he hasn't given enough reason to make her want to. But by the Stone and all of the Ancestors, he makes her job so difficult. Fighting a mob of darkspawn sometimes seems preferable.

Silva's got some abilities you may or may not want anything to do with. Especially what with being not a very nice guy. Leave me a note here about it if you have an issue/if you want to work things plot-wise/whatever.

-technopathy: In which Silva the uber-hacker also can touch tech and make it bend to his will. And I mean this to be a pretty powerful level of technopathy, too, to go along with his canonical 1337-haxx0r skillz. But yes, he has to be touching it, but basically if anything's reasonably able to be accessed through hacker means, all he really has to be doing is touching a laptop or a phone or somesuch to be able to have some fun. But y'all probably have a good idea how both technopathy and hollywood hacking at least he had a shitton of servers work, so there ya go.
*If you have anything permissions-wise you want to say about his natural canon hacking ability, you can do it here, too.

-empathy: In which Silva can get a general feel for the emotional state of those around him. This will just happen to him until/unless he gets more control of it. He can't really go digging around, because unlike technopathy, this is a very low-powered ability of his. This empathy also comes with some minor emotional manipulation to boot. Those with any kind of psychic shielding or anything that would block intruders won't feel anything, and he won't be able to get a read off of them, either. As far as manipulation goes, it's going to be more like nudges and suggestions more than any kind of forcible alteration of emotional state. Play with it as much as you please.
