ABILITY OPT IN/ GENERAL ABILITY INFO POST
Since Ferdinand can potentially affect other characters' luck and cause them misfortune, I've set up this post for people who want to opt out of being affected by it at all, and for people who would like to participate. His ability is specifically tied to verbal jinxes (prime example is someone saying "What could go wrong?"), which can cause anything from a minor stubbed toe to a whole spaceship losing power. The strength of the jinx is totally random and I'll be using an online dice roller for the results when and if it's used.
For it to work, Ferdinand has to accidentally slip and say the jinx, or agree with one someone else says. His characterization is set up in a way that will minimize the frequency that they happen, and if he feels like someone is using jinxing phrases liberally he'll probably speak up and tell them to cut it out 8>; For the safety of everyone involved. That being said, there is potential for slip-ups! Which is mainly what this post is for.
I've already made it clear that I will not be using the really, really bad numbers (2 and 12) unless I have mod permission. So there is little chance of a character actually dying from this by itself. So for people who would like to play with this ability, leave a comment here discussing what kinds of things you would be okay with without advanced warning. I'd like to keep some element of surprise involved (but obviously if it is going to affect your character drastically I'll always run it by you first).
That's basically it! Please leave a comment with your character's name and your preferred contact info, and some sort of yes/no answer (it can be as simple as that, or a more lenghthy explanation, I'm fine with either). Questions can also be directed here or you can add me on
