god_of_talking_crapHi there!
Anders comes from a New Zealand TV show called The Almighty Johnsons, the premise of which is that the Norse gods for many generations have been being reincarnated in mortal form until such time as Odin and Frigg should both be reincarnated at the same blah blah blah blah....
Yeah, Anders stopped listening too.
Anyway, the short of it is that Anders is the mortal incarnation of Bragi, Norse god of poetry, and this gives him some pretty interesting powers. (By "interesting" I mean "abusable.")
Anders' power is bending mortals' wills to his own. He can make a suggestion to a mortal, and they will just go with it. Later in the series, he starts using this ability on groups at a time, but currently it just works one on one (or at most, one on three).
For the most part, it will be pretty obvious that Anders is trying this on your character. He can make suggestions without using his power, and he does, often, so I'll be sure to note if he's doing his god-y thing.
If your character is anything other than baseline human, Anders' ability probably won't work on them. (Though for human hybrids like vampires, werewolves, etc., who can say?) He'll still try. Feel free to just have your character think he's mumbling and/or talking really slowly for no apparent reason.
If your character is female and conventionally attractive, Anders is likely to try to use this ability to get them into bed. Please do not hesitate to let me know if this makes you uncomfortable, and I will not have him do it.
Questions? Comments? Personal problems? Anyone care for a mint?
