PERMISSIONS
derek is a beta werewolf, and that means he's got a few bells and whistles attached that affect how he'll interact with your characters! derek in particular uses his extra-senses without much regard for privacy or human boundaries, and relies on them heavily in his interactions. derek communicates as much through body language and what he picks up with his abilities as he does through what is being said in a conversation.

however, if this in anyway harshes your groove, please feel free to opt out and i'll wave my hands and come up with some reason why he wouldn't be using his powers/why they wouldn't work on your character. i touched briefly on what he's capable of in his info post, but i'll go into more detail here on the senses that are directly invasive.
DEREK IS CAPABLE OF:
ENHANCED SENSE OF SMELL canonically derek's been shown as being capable of picking up and tracking people's scent like a bloodhound. he's also capable of scenting someone's emotions, ie if your character is happy, sad, distressed, so on and so forth. this extends to being able to pick up details about your character, if they smell like certain places/people/etc
ENHANCED HEARING derek's capable of some pretty intense eavesdropping, as well as picking up human heartbeats. he's shown to be capable of figuring out whether or not someone's lying to him based on their heartrate alone, as well as being able to sense if someone is upset or anxious using this same skill.
PAIN ABSORPTION werewolves are capable of absorbing people's pain. derek doesn't do this lightly, but he is capable of it and has done it for people he's close to in extreme situations. in-game, i will never do this without contacting you first.

NOTE while derek is acknowledged in canon to be very capable in his use of these senses, he's absolutely not infallible, and he can and probably at some point will misinterpret what his senses are telling him. even if you opt-in, it's not a guarantee he's going to be correct in his hearing/smelling of your character.
OPT-IN/OPT-OUT
please fill out the text box below if you are opting in. if you are opting out, please comment with your character's name and journal and i'll be sure to avoid having derek reference his powers while interacting with your character!
