Crowley is a demon, which means that temptation is pretty much his game. And considering he was once the snake that tempted Eve, he's pretty damn good at it. This means that, among other typical demon powers, he can sense desires and can also, if he sets his mind to it, tempt people by lowering their inhibitions and making them more open to suggestion.
Since this, moreso than his other demonic powers, can veer into godmodding/infomodding territory, here's a permissions post! Let me know the following in the comments:
*Can Crowley sense your character's desires? Note: these tend to be superficial desires and less so deep dark secret desires--though he can figure the latter out if he concentrates enough.
*Can Crowley tempt your character? This can be anything from tempting someone to break a diet to tempting them to infidelity.

Date: 2013-06-03 11:16 pm (UTC)Can Crowley tempt your character? Seeing as Susan can be talked into most things with a reasonable argument, yeah, probably. He won't be able to maneuver her into anything she's not already (somewhat) in favor of, or anything really overtly huge, but he could probably play merry havoc with her otherwise. (Unless, of course, it violates her delicate Edwardian sensibilities and/or those chocolates have nougat in them.)
PS: I totally encourage him playing merry havoc with her if the mood strikes him.
(If it ever comes up, these won't work on her mirror. Not because she's super special but because, well, she's not quite so reserved when it comes to attaining her desires.)

Date: 2013-06-04 12:12 am (UTC)Okay. For Joan Watson:
Yes to both. She's just a normal human being, she doesn't have any particular resistance to supernatural influence. She's pretty well-adjusted, though, so her desires aren't especially juicy.
For Greed:
Sense away. Being Greed, he wants everything, it's not exactly difficult to tell. Psychologically, he's basically a huge seething mass of WANT. On the "deep dark secret" level, his truest desire is for friends, so go ahead and have Crowley notice that if he puts his mind to it.
Tempting him... would probably be possible under certain circumstances, but I think it would more usually be like trying to burn ash. He's always acting on his desires, and if there's one he's not indulging it's because he's busy with a stronger one. But, if for any reason he's resisting one, go ahead and tempt.

Date: 2013-06-04 04:52 am (UTC)Ruby: Yes to both, but with some OOC checking in beforehand please <3 Ruby's currently in the process of developing a crush, but generally more or less just wants to stretch her legs in the woods and make sure her friends are happy and safe. She longs for connections to other people.

Date: 2013-06-04 05:27 am (UTC)At any given time, Dean typically desires:
Alcohol
Food
To punch Someone In The Face
To give up
Less consciously: his best friend.
Tempting: Go for it! He's pretty used to being supernaturally influenced so if it's blatant he might catch on eventually, but at first he'll be completely unaware and unable to resist.

Date: 2013-06-05 02:58 pm (UTC)Can Crowley sense your character's desires?
Yes, absolutely. They're probably most easily summed up by your average shopping basket of lust and greed with sparkly sprinkles of pride, but let me know if you ever need details or something deeper / more profound (there isn't much of that in his case, but I could probably swing a handful of Deep and Dark Secrets (TM))
Can Crowley tempt your character?
ahAHahaHAHahhaAHahaAHAhHHhhhhhhhhhhhI MEAN UM. Yes, he absolutely has permission to tempt Buckingham, though he'd probably discover that most of the time Buckingham doesn't need a push (or even a nudge, really) to do absolutely everything and anything he wants. It's a bit like asking Eve to take a bite of the apple and discovering she already made pie with it.

Date: 2013-06-05 03:09 pm (UTC)Yes, although superficially Philip does not have a great deal of those left in his current state and I couldn't give a good overview of his "general" desires, so to speak, so he'd be more of a case-by-case basis, depending on his exact situation/mood at any given point in time.
Can Crowley tempt your character?
Generally yes, though it depends on the consequences. A night of binge drinking will probably be fine, a night of mass slaughter I'll have to contemplate before playing out. So basically, please consult for "weightier" temptations.

Date: 2013-06-07 12:10 am (UTC)GO FOR IT. America's got a lot of them so if you want a full list let me know and I will just. Keep throwing them at you. Most of it's gonna be superfluous I WANT FOOD though there's some heavy stuff mixed in.
Zacharie is a yes too but I can't think of anything he actually wants. Crowley's mostly going to get a blank slate from him whoops.
Can Crowley tempt your character?
AMERICA DEFINITELY YES. Zacharie I will also say "yes" to but good luck man.
