Powers opt-out

[ineffablytartan]

As an angel, Aziraphale has quite a few abilities that can affect other people. These include:

• Miracle cures: In canon he's shown to mend a broken bone with the touch of a hand.
• Powers of suggestion: Mainly used to encourage good in people, or to create divine ecstasy, but since he also does Crowley's work on occasion he is also capable of tempting people. Crowley is able to snap his fingers and place a woman into a trance where he can ask her what she remembers from ten years ago, but Aziraphale would not do this himself, and takes the time to suggest to her that she's had a dream instead. It should be noted that these powers are relatively weak, being subpowers, and therefore would not affect anyone with any sort of protection against any kind of powers. Aziraphale would never do anything more than a gentle push, as opposed to actual mind bending, in any case.
• Spiritualism: Azirpahale is able to see ghosts/souls, and to invite them into a host body so that they can speak through them. He is also able to sense when a place is exceptionally loved.
• Immortality: while his body can be killed/destroyed in all of the normal ways aside from age, which doesn't impact him, his soul is merely unhoused. He cannot generate a new body himself, but needs to have one provided for him by heaven, but he can take over other people's bodies, leading to a two minds in one body situation. He can also move from one body to another while in this state, and travel over vast distances (in canon he goes from Australia, to America, to the UK). However, while inhabiting another body he cannot read the mind of the original owner as that is still separate from him.

The full list of his abilities can be found on his app.

Anon is not on, but feel free to use a sock if it isn't about a character in particular.

Please note that I will never use his powers of suggestion against a PC or have him take over the body of another PC without express permission to do so, with or without comments on this post.
