Derek Souza

RHO - INSTINCT MANIPULATION
Rank I
(+) Derek is able to heighten or negate his own instincts or the instincts of others. This includes things like dampening the protective instinct that hampers him during fights, negating his animal instincts that interfere with his logical ability to problem solve, or heightening his survival instincts. It also includes instincts in battle or instincts in relationships with people.
(-) In order to negate his own instincts, he must heighten the instincts of someone else. In order to negate someone else's instincts, he must heighten his own.
(-) He can only negate instincts or heighten instincts; he can't do both in the same person at the same time.
(-) He can only negate or heighten two instincts at a time.
(-) When he uses his ability he can choose what to negate or heighten in himself and others, but he can't choose what will be heightened or negated in return. For example, negating someone's instincts in a fight might heighten his own protective instinct, and heightening someone's instinct to trust might negate his survival instincts. Similarly, negating his animalistic instincts might heighten someone else's survival instincts.
(-) His ability only lasts for 15 minutes at a time.
(-) The side effects of his ability last for twice as long as he uses it.
(-) He can only use his ability once every few hours.

BROOD PERMISSIONS
Derek is not particularly concerned about keeping himself shielded from his brood. Frustration and irritation tend to be common, as well as anger and a deep protective streak. The faces of his father and brother and his love and loyalty to them, as well as flashes of a teenage girl with blonde or dyed black hair. His instincts are also very likely to bleed over, as is his intelligence and the fact that he loves learning. A deep loneliness and desire to belong.

NEST PERMISSIONS
Irritation is probably his most common emotion, and he's unlikely to hide that he doesn't care about any of you or any of this. Just leave him alone and let him be surly in peace okay.

MENTAL LINK
The biggest impression is wolf, the sense of fur and a flash of fangs. Likely annoyance and a sense of studied indifference, the scent of people who aren't a part of the Nest, a faint howling in the background.

Physical Affection: Derek is unlikely to react well for someone he doesn't know, but anyone in his brood or "pack" will likely have to put up with a lot of Derek being in their personal space.
Physical Violence: probably unavoidable with Derek, so go ahead!
Romance/Relationships: ...good...luck....? but no more seriously I'm down if it happens!
Thread-jacking: Sure!
Back-tagging: Always!
Fourth-walling: No thank you
Offensive Subjects/Triggers: None really for me, but Derek himself comes with experimentation on children, casual disregard for his own life, and a lot of violence
Anything Else? not that I can think of!
