ＭｏＭ; ᴛᴇʟᴇᴘᴀᴛʜʏ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪssɪᴏɴs
Thomas has limited telepathy within canon, and in MoM that's getting flushed out to be a regular, all around power, so with the same sort general restrictions typical telepathy would have - talking in another person's mind, reading surface and deeper thoughts + memories, sending images or notions, etc. Last round in MoM, he did a lot of experimenting with trying out mental suggestion as well. So, with things like "my ID totally says I'm 18 and not 16" or "my tattoo totally says I'm Registered and not that I'm Unsettled", he ought to be good, and the more advanced things like actually making other people say and do things, he'll be working on now, and training to e better with.
Another thing that I played with back when he suuuper sucked was Thomas having moments of mental bleed over? Like, when talking to Grey in his head, he wasn't able to totally keep all of himself out of the mental link, and some thoughts and feelings and memories etc would transfer over. Since he no longer TOTALLY SUCKS at this, it doesn't really make a lot of sense for it to be happening a lot, BUT in really intense moments, or times that Thomas is really stressed/upset/freaking out, since his mental stabilty is so tenuous just by virtue of how deeply traumatized he is in general, this is still a possibility, if people want to play with it? Just be forewarned, Thomas's head is a mess of content warnings, so there can be some pretty intense stuff that comes through if Thomas is caught at a serious freak out moment.
FOR OTHER TELEPATHS LOOKING INTO HIS HEAD, Thomas DOES have mental defenses now, taught to him by Emma, and there's more about that in his general permissions that I'll link down before. However, if we do have your dude get into Thomas's head (which I'm up for working out), it's a really dark place with a lot of bad, bad memories, often pretty close to the surface. Suffice to say, there will be super spoilers for The Maze Runner novel series, and warnings for human/child experimentation, scary monsters, torture, death, sad stuff. As for Thomas's own mental informations, please check out his general permissions!
So, yeah, permissions! Please fill this stuff out for me!
If you answered yes, it's cool for Thomas to read your dude's mind, if you guys could do me a solid, and when it comes up in a thread, leave something in the small text/narrative stuff about their thoughts that Thomas is allowed/should be able to pick up on, that would be super fantastic. Just so I don't have to guess or go stalk you down oocly o7
If you guys need to reach me to go over some of this stuff in depth or if you have other questions idk, feel free to hit me up hurr:

Can Thomas poke around in your character's head/explore beyond just communication? By virtue of Verity's lie detection gift she'll know he's there, that something is wrong, and with how sensitive she is to that junk he might get some backlash if he sails straight in without warning. She's an untrained telepath whose new power is heavily dependent on her original gift, so it tends to flare up more powerfully when she's angry ala Banner.
To what extent is it cool for Thomas to explore you dude's brainpan? Even if she knows he's dipping in ahead of the fact, Verity's head will be like stepping into a room where the edges of the furniture are razor-sharp; she can't help it! Her writer told me that when she hears/reads a lie it's like a baby starts screaming in her head and spoiling things, so the equivalent would be a trip-wire room liable to blast red lights at a moment's notice. It's not nice and is very tiring to put up with, which should help him understand why she gets so irate with liars as quickly as she does.
What kind of stuff would be cool to Thomas to dig up, if he spends more time snooping in your character's head? She's very into fantasy, oddly enough! The fairy tattoos on her arms are a huge clue as to that. Verity's fond of the fantastical although all those red lights go off when she tries to get into it because none of it's real, and she has a real dumping ground in her head of mathematics/physics (for the sheer sake of owning 'relaxing' reading material over the years). She considers Loki her best friend and has genuinely seen/heard him say he wants to be better, with a good portion of her opinion of him wedged in solid loyalty. She knows who and what he is, former God of Evil etc, but despite that her affection for him remains high. She chooses to trust him implicitly, in short. Her character was created around the whole idea of giving Loki someone he can't lie to, who will stick by him, so it's pretty obvious even with as much as they bitch at each other.
What stuff do you NOT want Thomas digging up in your character's head? Childhood stuff! Parents, etc. Ewing has mentioned she likely has a family member already in the comics floating around but there's nothing solid on that yet, and I really don't want to have to retcon anything whenever he does throw us a bone.
Do you want to do any kind of bleed over thoughts/feelings/memories if Thomas is flipping his shit while mentally connected? Sure! She'll probably try and help the poor guy, if she can.
Contact? PM always works!
Anything else? I think we're good!
