Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him
that chewed away more of his heart every year.
They were always walking away from him.
But he never seemed able to walk away from them.

Mask or Menace - In Game Powers

quaerit: sᴄᴏᴜᴛsɪxᴛᴇᴇɴ.ᴄᴏᴍ. (a g e d)
Please note that general info and permissions for Gansey can be found here.

Two of Gansey's powers in Mask or Menace are Power of Intent and Vocal Command. These have the potential to impact on your character. I would be very grateful if you could fill out the form below, and let me know if he is able to use these powers on your character, and under what circumstances. The powers works as follows:

Power of Intent
  • Gansey's intentions are made powerful, due to [ spoilers for his canon that I won't go into here ]. This manifests in two ways:

  • Gansey is notably persuasive. When he puts intention behind his words, he is very convincing and difficult to say no to. However, it is far from impossible - he has no control over other people's minds, and if they stubbornly disagree with him, they are not forced to comply.

  • He is notably good at finding things; his belief that an object can be found, or his strong intention to find it, will make it more likely that he is on the right path. For this to be successful, it must be possible to find the object; Gansey's power does not create an item that is not real, but it can set his instincts on the right path - even when that path is difficult for anyone else to see.


Vocal Command
  • He is able to command magical power to activate. This only works when the conditions are right; some manner of magic (either a spell, or latent magical power within a place) must be present in order for him to tell it to work.

  • He can command magical power to stop. This enables Gansey to nullify magical abilities and spells in game.

  • For the purposes of the game, this power will also extend to superpowers in general. He is therefore able to command any superpower to either 'stop' or 'go'.

  • In general terms, Gansey's commands to 'stop' or 'go' must be spoken, and must be heard.


It would be great if you could complete the following form to tell me how these powers can affect your characters!
