[MoM] [OOC] Death Permissions!

So! Being the demigod son of the Greek god of the dead, Nico has a certain ~connection~ to dead people. If your character is any of the below:

1) Dead/died in canon but alive here
2) Is undead/Underworld-aligned or otherwise life-impaired in MoM now
3) Has died in MoM
4) Is canonly going to die in the near future

... please comment here to let me know know if a) Nico can sense that from them and b) what (if anything) he can see about the cause of their death (appears to him in the form of black splotches on the spots where the mortal wounds occur). This is

Also! In canon Nico can command the dead as well, though that typically only applies for mooks and other unnamed NPCs. If your character is/was dead and you want them to feel compelled to obey Nico, go for it! Otherwise I'll assume that that particular trick doesn't apply to your character.

Both of these effects are COMPLETELY opt-in. He will only notice/command dead people who have responded to this post (or if it comes up and I message ahead of time to confirm it's okay). Otherwise, we'll blame conflicting mythologies on the reason why he can't see anything.

Here's a nifty form:

Can sense death: Y/N
Visible cause of death: Description here, or N/A if you don't want him to see anything! He can know someone's dead without seeing their wounds.
Command level: N/A if you don't want any kind of influence, or describe how much you want Nico to be able to affect your character! Anything from "this kid seems extra nice for some reason" to "kill all the Japanese" kind of geas is okay by me.

Can sense death: Nico can indeed sense that Alduin is dead in his world -- well, sort of. It's mostly his physical death, and his soul still lives on in what is basically a limbo until he returns to the physical world. I'm not sure if Nico's abilities would see that, specifically, but you're more than welcome to allow him to if they do.

Visible cause of death: This one is a bit tricky and I suppose up to you how you want to interpret it? Alduin was very much dragon-shaped when he was defeated, and would probably have visible black splotches all over. (Epic boss fight and all.) But in MoM he's in human form, so I don't know if those would transfer over.

Command level: By default, I'm going to say N/A -- but when it comes to plotting, etc. I'll always be more flexible, so feel free to hit me up if you ever have anything specific in mind.
