psychometry opt-in

[myownprice]

One of the powers Boba gained upon arriving in game is the power of psychometry! As explained in his app:

Boba has the ability to “read” someone’s memories by touching an object held by them at the time. When he uses this ability, he can briefly experience the sights, sounds, and feelings, both physical and emotional, that the object’s wielder experienced while in possession of the object at one point in time. Highly emotional memories tend to be the clearest, while more mundane ones fade into the background. Boba cannot control what memories he experiences, and objects frequently held by numerous people are difficult and unpleasant to read, as they result in a sensory barrage.

That means if Boba touches something that your character was holding/wearing during an emotionally significant moment, he might, in essence, relive that emotional memory! Boba doesn't like this ability that much and so will not use it intentionally without reason. Still, if you're interested in playing with this in the future or in a current thread, leave a comment with the following info below!

Player Name:
Character name + Journal Name:
What object(s) can Boba read?: Is it something carried or something worn? How might Boba get his hands on it? Why might Boba want to read the object or how might he come into contact with it accidentally?
What memories does the object carry? Be as detailed as possible here! Include not only emotions, but sensory details. What did your character see/hear/feel during this memory?

Player Name: Arwing
Character name + Journal Name: Anders rebelhealer
What object(s) can Boba read?: Anders' original outfit, which he currently has hanging in his closet, and the knife that he brought over from his world.
What memories does the object carry? The knife would probably have the memory of Anders killing his ex-lover, Karl, which was a very emotional moment for him. He didn't want to, but Karl begged him to do it, since he'd been made Tranquil and didn't want to return to being an emotionless puppet.

The clothes have Anders' memories from back home, such as healing refugees and the poor, facing Ser Alrik, and the Qunari attack on Kirkwall. Boba is also likely to get Justice's memories, which include his anger at seeing Karl made Tranquil or going into the Fade to save a boy from demons. Anders' world state info can be found in his journal.

Character name + Journal Name: Finn Onari fireandhoney
What object(s) can Boba read?: The clothes he came in, which he rarely wears these days, and a black hoodie.
What memories does the object carry? His original clothes have the memories of finding out he's dragonborn, facing Alduin, and joining the Dark Brotherhood. He's also likely to have memories of meeting the many Daedric Princes.

The hoodie has memories of himself hanging out with Lucien, like getting lessons about stealth and using a knife.
