Billy's first and one of his most powerful abilities is telepathy boosted by empathy. As a child he was capable of passively reading the minds of most of Westview without even trying and has recently tapped into doing so to such extremes.
If he has a close relationship to a person be it positive or negative OR if someone is feeling something very intensely their voices are louder for him. He does not currently have a way to turn it off and it's how he interacts with the world (so with that in mind, I'm not interested in giving him a permanent way to control it).
He has been shown to be able to do things like speak directly mind-to-mind with someone and zero in on a person's location. If he tries enough he can enter their mind and see through their eyes to see what's happening - as he can with any surrounding them. While it's possible he can expand mental abilities to include emotional/memory manipulation and hallucination as it's not confirmed he has no access to this. He does also have the ability to control people's minds but I'm not putting this here because it's not something I'm using unless plotted out!
As a general rule of thumb: I use this ability to strengthen CR and nothing more (unless plotted out). While I do play he gets a lot of noise from the castle in general it is never anything that would be plot relevant, said by characters to each other, etc unless it's been plotted out. Frankly speaking, I do not have time to stalk that many threads even if I wanted to. What interests me is the CR/Emotional aspect! I will use general big plot posts to play into his mental state. In example, panic and worry would have overwhelmed him during the dragon attack where as more intimately directed large scale events may make him more flustered. This will never be anything character specific directed but "this is the environment he's currently in and feels". I will most often use this to boost emotional connection versus gaining information.
PLEASE let me know if you are willing to occasionally or regularly have him be able to read your character's minds when interacting with them! Unless you respond here I will leave it as he only hears general noise and only assume he hears what you put in your meta texts/or in our plotting! He would ICly not share with someone else unless he thought it was extremely harmful to someone... he's used to hearing these things. OOCly, I will still in general touch base with anyone before he shares anything but it's doubtful that will happen. I will also OOCly never have him share secrets - even under say torture or compulsion - unless plotted out. LITERALLY. I just like the emotional/CR aspect of this.
If you are interested in playing around with this version of telepathy please fill out this box below!
Character Name/journal: What is it!
Telepathy OK?: Yes, always / Sometimes, tap me first/ No, thank you!
Mental Voice: Is there anything different about their mental voice than their regular voice? This is your chance to tell me what you'd think he'd normally here/how they came off/any little fun things about the differences between the two ways they "speak"
