Glamour: Difference between revisions

Characters with this power become the center of attention. Anyone who looks at the character will suffer effects similar to [[Love Is in The Air]]: they'll consider the character to be flawlessly beautiful, smart, funny, and fall over themselves to do whatever the character says<ref>(even if the character in question is hideous, dressed in rags, covered in garbage, clumsy, and has the IQ of room temperature... in Celsius!)</ref>. While this isn't direct [[Mind Control]] or a [[Charm Person]], it does affect people psychically by making them want to help the character. Sort of a cross between [[Mass Hypnosis]] and [[The Charmer]]. While weak glamours or strong willed characters probably won't do unethical things or that go against their interests, they ''will'' act at least slightly [[Out -of -Character Moment|out of character]] while under its effects: disliking the character will seem unnatural, arguing against them impossible, and attacking the character would be like committing blasphemy. When it's a powerful glamour (or a [[Weak -Willed]] victim) victims won't hesitate to obey any of the character's whims.

This is usually a borderline case of [[Bad Powers, Bad People]]. An ethical character that doesn't abuse those affected might actually accrue ''less'' [[Mind Over Manners]] related [[Squick]] than using straight [[Mind Control]]. As a power, it does have a certain degree of [[Blessed With Suck]]. If the glamour [[Power Incontinence|can't be turned off]] the character may very quickly despair at having no intelligent conversation since everyone agrees with them, no ''real'' love since anyone they meet will instantly love them, and otherwise having all the conflict leached out of their life.
