So Cypress is meant to be especially perceptive in her original game. She's human! She doesn't have special powers! Nadeko is constantly fucking my dice rolls! But she has +2 sharp and spent her life learning how to do this shit!!!
So anyway it would help me a lot-- if not in tags themselves-- if people would be willing to just give me a list of things Cypress can reasonably notice and/or assume from them just by looking/talking with them.
Things like:
1. General areas they may have grown up in (or the closest Earth-equivalent of it) based on slang/accent/etc
2. Familial relationship (e.g. Persephone being Amaranth's child; this sort of connection is generally only made when she meets the other half of the equation and she usually can't tell "child" vs "younger sibling/cousin/etc")
3. Generalized type of work/hobby based on physical attributes (e.g. Calloused/dark hands or nails?? some sort of physical work, maybe gardening. Short nails and calloused fingertips? maybe a string musician. that sort of thing)
3a. Scars also fall under the above but only in the case of bites/scratches by wild animals or monsters, or gunshot wounds. Anything else would be too generalized for her to tell.
4. General emotional state that can be sussed out by someone actually paying attention to posture/facial features/etc
5. Most importantly: status as a human. Inhuman people or otherwise traditional "monsters" in human form would be a particular point of interest! If your character is notably inhuman or can be assumed to be/partially be so with a bit of careful study this is definitely something she'd keep track of.
rule of fun trumps all and she doesn't have special powers or anything, she just pays attention to visual details. if you don't wanna play with that at all let me know /o/
