[ ACATALEPSY PERMISSIONS ]
Sep. 7th, 2018 10:06 pmI will hunt down a standard stats/permissions form in a bit but for now this is more like an opt-out for York's in game magic ability.
From my app:
Phase Shift - York can alter his own molecular vibration to pass through solid objects himself or, with a touch, affect the tangibility of a (1) solid object or (2) person so that (1) others can pass through or (2) he can phase someone else through the solid matter. The shift is only in effect for as long as he is contact with the object or person.
Limitations: He can only use this ability for a total of ten minutes a day. If altering only himself, he will also pass through all matter -- for example, if he is trying to get through a wall on the second floor of a building, he would have to use the ability only while stepping through, otherwise he would fall through the floor on the other side. This will take a lot of practice. (The only exception is the ground itself, unless there's a basement/cave/etc underneath him, because falling through a planet doesn't sound funny.) If using his ability on the wall directly so other people can pass this obviously does not apply, but the affected area is limited to a maximum diameter of six feet. He can only ever affect one object or person at a time. In sustained combat, he would have to time the shifts well to avoid hits without burning through his time limit.
York can in theory use this ability on other characters without their consent, so if you're not cool with him dragging yours through a wall or saving them from an oncoming truck (what, it could happen) please leave a comment here to opt-out and I'll be sure to never do that! I don't foresee him using this power with ill intent but you never know.

[for barrayar] defection; feb ii
Feb. 9th, 2017 01:29 pmWash and York form a careful escape plan, learning the patrol routes both inside and outside of the base. In the dead of night, using Ratchet as lookout a hallway further down, Wash knocks out the Cetagandans guarding Lakshmi and Daryl. They didn't realize Daryl would be in holding as well but roll with it, locking the guards inside holding and guiding the two of them along a pre-planned escape route. The five of them make it as far as having the door to the outside in eyeshot... if they'd made it there only a few minutes earlier maybe they'd have been golden, who knows. But they don't, and as they turn the last corner a soldier that they didn't count on passes by. One that (as if four beefy exotics wandering around in the middle of the night wasn't suspicious enough) recognizes Lakshmi as the Barrayaran prisoner and sounds the alarm before any of them can get to him to knock him out.
Busted, they all run for it and are set upon by basically everyone who's awake. Luckily most of the patrols are outside but our crew is unarmed and they don't stand much of a chance if the Cetagandans decide to start shooting -- which they do while the group is booking it for the woods. York gets clipped in the leg with a laser weapon and goes down hard, quickly set upon. He makes quite a fuss trying to get a weapon regardless so he can help the others escape. (Maybe he succeeds? We can roll for it! The cover fire would help the others.) Ratchet hangs back and sacrifices himself distracting the guards from the others/protecting York.
Wash is Super Unhappy but decides to get Lakshmi and Daryl back to the Barrayaran camp safe before doubling back to see what can be done about York. Lakshmi is the one who knows the way, anyway, he needs to know where he's going when he saves his friend. Meanwhile, Miles and Maine are en route from the Barrayaran camp, using the same trail. They run into one another and Maine tries to talk Wash out of going back. When that doesn't work, he just chokes him unconscious and drags him to Barrayar. Nobody goes back.
OUTCOME:
Daryl and Wash defect to Barrayaran camp
Lakshmi is saved/returns to Barrayaran camp
Miles and Maine return to Barrayaran camp
York and Ratchet remain at Cetagandan base
