The Last Voyages: Additional Permissions
Matt Murdock may be blind, but his other senses have more than risen to the challenge to compensate, providing him with a different “picture” of the world. The way he “sees” is a lot more sensitive and a lot more invasive than just pure sight, such as tracking people by heartbeat, scent, or even the sound of their breathing. He also uses his hearing regularly - and without asking - to determine whether someone is lying or telling the truth.
Because this is so invasive, I’m giving you the option to opt out of any of it if you like. For example, if you want Matt to know your character is around but not be able to tell whether they’re lying, I can work with that. Also, if your character has weird anatomy (two hearts, mechanical parts, whatever the heck is inside that triangle-shaped body of yours, Bill), I’d appreciate knowing ahead of time in case I might be canonblind. I’m happy to take this as blanket permission/limits, or we can handle things on a thread-by-thread basis; again, just let me know, and I will try to remember to ask beforehand if there’s any question.
As a further note, Matt’s senses can be confused or fooled - if your character can mask/control their heartbeat or breathing, for example, Matt either wouldn’t know when they’re around or wouldn’t be able to tell when they’re nervous or lying. Things like water (rain) and intense snowfall can confuse his senses and make it hard to “see”, and I’m sure we can come up with plenty of other fun situations to confuse him as necessary. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you want to do anything with that!
Please pick the option below that best works for you and leave a comment, or feel free to comment that we need to discuss further and we can!
General awareness
Lie detection
for Clark, Alan, Ardyn, and Teddy
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
For Laura and Caitlin/Frost
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
Killer Frost has a much colder body temperature (and an "aura of cold" due to her absorbing heat) and a slower heartbeat; however, it will still change relative speed if she's lying or nervous, so he's welcome to notice that.
JUST FOR RHYS
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
for bill!
✔ I am okay with Matt using my character’s heartbeat, breathing, or scent to “see” them when they’re nearby.
— My character doesn’t have a heartbeat or can hide or change it to avoid being called out when lying.
I've let people use a faint smell of ozone/burning to notice Bill appearing before, as a side effect of the magic he uses to teleport. He doesn't have a heart and doesn't breathe as far as I can tell but I'm down for like a constant very high pitched sound like an old CRT monitor.

Jean Grey
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
Jean generally just smells human, but Matt might also smell something a bit like space.
...And her telekinesis would probably confuse the hell out of Matt's senses the first couple times, SORRY MATT.

Tris regularly disturbs air currents, and she generates small amounts of electricity when upset.
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
...times I'm reminded I play characters of a varying level of weird (and liars)
- Erskine can hide his presence by using the air to make it so people who can sense air movements can't feel him, this also goes for being able to block sounds/smells/etc
- Hope probably sometimes shares Jean's 'smelling slightly like space' thing, also might sometimes be hard to recognize when she's doing something like borrowing speedster powers
- Mikodez probably has training in hiding/changing that stuff but wouldn't usually have any reason to try
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
- Mikodez and Erskine are both very, very good liars and it'd generally probably be pretty hard to notice lies/nervousness (though easier to sense a lack of nervousness)
- Nico is kind of perpetually nervous
Steve McGarrett
✔ I give permission for Matt to use my character’s heartbeat to tell when they’re nervous or lying.
- Should Steve ever suspect that Matt, (or anyone else), is able to do this he has the training to fool a lie detector test and would attempt to employ that skill if needed - nothing outside of human abilities though.
