Permissions: Eagle Vision

[theflyingone]

Eagle Vision is a hereditary sixth sense that can be activated while standing still and uninjured. This intuition shows people's true intentions at that moment, in the form of auras, and color-codes them. Thus, it can see auras through illusions and disguises (but not walls). If there is a specific target he's looking for, the ~murmuring background voices~ will come from that direction. When he moves or gets hurt, it deactivates, but there's still a residual glowing aura about people for a short bit. Video 1m 47s in. Wiki, riddled with spoilers.


Red = Hostile or potentially hostile to Altaïr. Everyone from active guards, police, and soldiers, to slavers, tyrants, those who'd use power to control or suppress freedom, even in the name of peace.
Blue = Altaïr's allies. Assassins, those who would fight for free will, willing to break the law for this belief.
White = informants, sources of information, hiding places (people sitting on benches can be hiding places too, though for some reason the game marks them blue)
Gold = Altaïr's temporary leads, persons of interest, assassination targets
Nothing = civilians, neutral-minded people.

To an uninformed character, this looks like an uncanny intuition. Though it uses broad generalizations in practice, they can be the deciding factor in whether or not Altaïr trusts someone when he meets or has to work with them. Comment below whether you want Altaïr to see your character's intent, regarding himself, at any given moment. Altaïr may also be able to see through your character's illusions, glamours, invisibility, etc. If your character can block scrying/chi sensing and the like, please mention it. It may or may not have an effect.

Also try to guess what color your character would be to him most of the time, if any. I realize this may be difficult, considering people's colors change even in canon according to what role they play in different situations. It's not general allegiance, it's specific circumstantial intent. For example, someone can switch from being an ally (blue) to an informant (white) and vice versa, or an ally (blue) could switch to being a lead (gold) when leading Altaïr somewhere. Even people in the role of guards have been known to switch from red to blue when defecting to join Altaïr. Frenemies are also a thing, as are "allies" who show as blue because they are working with Altaïr, but only as long as he's useful.

I'VE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS, WHAT'S A LEVEL 18

[grimjeaper]

STANDARD DND CAP IS 20 AND ITS LIKE A MILLION EXP TO GET THAT FAR

[thornsofmalkav]

character name(s) & journals(s): Thorne (thornsofmalkav)
eagle vision: yes (but possibly ask which color fits the circumstances)
color: white or blue, depending
notes: Thorne definitely sees Altair as a friend and would be down to help him sometimes but not when it's something they disagree about. So either blue or white depending.

character name(s) & journals(s): Chie Satonaka (highsteaks)
eagle vision: yes
color: probably mostly blue
notes: She probably counts as an ally as long as she's acting as Malik's student.

character name(s) & journals(s): Anafiel Delaunay (youandyoualone)
eagle vision: ask first
color: possibly white, since he's a scholar and will usually share his information. otherwise neutral.
notes: Technically he WAS a soldier in a border war, but that was close to twenty years ago, so I figure he's not red anymore. Despite personally disliking some individual assassins (*coughcoughMalikcough*), I don't think he'd be opposed to their order in general.

[breakaleginhalf]

character name(s) & journals(s): Gil Ryanson {breakaleginhalf}
eagle vision: always!
color: after discussion on Barry, probably White or Blue as a general thing, but could very easily flick Red.
notes: we agreed that Eagle Vision would see through Gil's Mask while Altair uses it!

[duelingbanjou]

character name(s) & journals(s): Ryuga Banjou (duelingbanjou)
eagle vision: Go for it, I don't mind and he can't stop it.
color: Usually blue, though if Altair pisses him off (not hard) it'll be red.
notes: If he goes full berserk mode it'll definitely be red, but that's unlikely due to spoiler reasons. ... Possible, though. Maybe? It's unclear. xD

[edamamepon]

character name(s) & journals(s): Makoto Edamura / edamamepon
eagle vision: I'm fine with whatever makes sense, so feel free whenever you want.
color: probably won't ever be red unless he's trying to stop a murder ? You can always plurk/PM if you're unsure but I trust your judgment.
notes: Makoto isn't always truthful, but his heart is in the right place.

(Idk if he even has this in erku but I know I'll forget later so here you go)

[icanhearscreams]

character name(s) & journals(s): Jun Ushiro icanhearscreams
eagle vision: Always
color: White? Or nothing.
notes: Jun is 13, I don't think he can be red even if he's hostile towards Altair. He's just flat-out not a threat.

[aetherweaver]

character name(s) & journals(s): Nara'a Sunvara aetherweaver
eagle vision: Always? He's seen people with soul sight, it won't bother him and he can't stop it.
color: BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE he has assassinated people to save others. Maybe white depending on the circumstance. But mostly blue.
notes: I don't know if eagle vision specifically sees souls or just intentions, but if it's the former there are Complications.
