NOTES FOR PSYCHICS & SPIRITUALLY SENSITIVE. Technically, Gansey should be dead. When he was 10, he was attacked by a nest of hornets, and his life was traded for another person's via ley line. He has a transparent aura, which apparently means that for someone sensitive to them, being with Gansey is like being alone. However, psychics attempting to do a reading for him said he was very 'loud', at least in conjunction with his friends, so ymmv. He very definitely has A Destiny. If your character is a mind-reader, I'd be happy to narrate his thoughts at the time, because they often conflict with his outward appearance. Gansey is all about the masks.

POSSESSIONS. 1 set of clothing including: hoodie, t-shirt, henley, underwear, socks, cargo pants, hiking boots.
contents of pockets: dried mint leaves, wallet (contains cash, credit cards, driver's license, 1 posed family photo, 1 folded-flat paper crane, dumb various gansey-ish scraps of paper), 1 swiss-army style knife/multitool, 1 very expensive smartphone with Box SIM card installed, 1 Ronan-dreamed EpiPen, several coins and a few shiny pebbles (for Chainsaw).
1 crossbody bag containing: 1 handgun with two full clips, 1 glendower notebook, 1 blank notebook, 1 partially used notebook, pens, mechanical pencils, 1 heavier pullover hooded sweatshirt, first aid kit, 2 reusable liter containers of drinkable water, 1 spray can of hornet and wasp killer, 2 jars of dried mint, contact lens care materials and 1 extra set lenses.

ABILITIES.
?the raven king?
While Gansey doesn't seem to be magically gifted like his friends, he is without question the leader of their group and has a natural charisma that he has used to his advantage all his life.
commands | There is a certain tone of voice Gansey can use when he gives a command that his friends all mention in narration that they 'can't' not follow. He also uses this tone in conjunction with the abilities of his friends to bring a large group of dream-made animals that had decayed to skeletons fully to life. He seems to only be half-aware of this ability in that he uses it on the animals, but we don't know how purposefully he does it or what the extent of this ability is.

eta: In his time in the Box, Gansey purposefully used the king voice several times, and is aware of it and its power (since it accidentally booted him and his friends from box to hadriel, when he pissed off an angry ley line. whoopsie.)
MAGIC SENSITIVITY
Gansey has some awareness of magic in that he can dowse a ley line and feel when they're in a magical place, but his abilities are nothing like those of his friends. He does, however, get 'gut feelings' about where there can be important things to find, magical or not. As someone said, the world opens its pockets for Gansey.

general ooc.

FOURTH-WALLING. Sure, Gansey's family is well-known, what with his mom running for Congress. However, please don't spoil him for his prophesied death. That's for his canonmates to do or not.
THREADJACKING. If it's public, go for it.
BACKTHREADING. Definitely! If I drop something you want to continue, please let me know! I probably lost it in my tabs or forgot to mark a notif unread to come back to.
PHYSICAL CONTACT. Gansey has no problem with casual touching in that masculine way, like shoulder-pats and manly back thumping. He's used to having his space invaded by people who are acquaintances at best, in socially acceptable ways. Only his friends are really allowed to invade his space, and he very definitely gives off that aura. From his friends, he'll accept any kind of touching, although he'll jump when it's unexpected.
ROMANCE/SEXUAL RELATIONS. Gansey has a crush on Blue, who he isn't even allowed to kiss. He's also got a variety of Complicated feelings for the other raven boys. In summary, good luck. eta: Even less likely now, because he has quite the thirst for Noah Czerny.
INJURE/KILL. Please don't kill Gansey unless we specifically plot it out. He's a squishy human teenager who can take his lumps, but I'd prefer to keep it to broken bones at worst. It's more than likely that hurting Gansey too much (possibly at all) will set his guard dog Ronan on the other character, which can be pretty dangerous.
DEVICE HACKING. He could probably figure it out if he really wanted to, but Gansey values honesty and privacy, so it's not the most likely thing under normal circumstances.
