1). Hugging this character: Sure!
2). Kissing this character: At your own risk~
3). Flirting with this character: Considering she can read your body language and can tell what you want from a mile away? Yeah, sure, but be careful.
4). Fighting with this character: Yes!
5). Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Within reason and let me know ahead of time, please.
6). Killing this character: Discuss it with me first.
7). Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure. Let me know ahead of time, though.

As some of you know, Cassandra can read body language and she can predict what a person is planning long before they actually put it into practice. If you go to punch her, if she can see you, she'll dodge it. If you are flirting with her, she'll definitely know just by the way your body moves.

Because of this, she's a great fighter and can predict most things a person thinks or does. Even better, she can see through most disguises. She's also fairly proficient in gathering information even if she's not an amazing hacker like Oracle.

What I need from you all is to fill out this handy form for me so I know if this is okay with you all.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Joker can be nearly unreadable when he wants to be. He's tricked the Batman after all! But generally, he emotes VERY heavily with body language so she'll be able to see what he's FEELING and could call judgments from there. In physical hand-to-hand combat, I can't imagine why she wouldn't be able to see incoming blows.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Obviously, it would be tricky to judge what the Joker is planning in terms of his shenanigans.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Nothing is 100 % ruled out! Just ask about anything you're unsure of.
Anything else? It is SO HOT OUT RIGHT NOW

I AM SORRY IT IS HOT OUT. But also, duly noted o7

Doing, sure.

Thinking...only if there is a marked visual cue to read, since Daedalus has some mind/body compartmentalization, and can keep a lot tidy not-visible up there in his head.

Can she hack? Probably his NV inbox with some decryption work, if she's intentionally looking for a specific communication. Preferably not private Doctor/Patient dialoguing, since that's what goes under his most carefully guarded channels. Daedalus will try to trace if he has any indication that anyone's been mucking around in his files. NCC clinic files have proven unhackable by Otacon, Shiroe, and your Batdad, so those are better protected.

Awesome. Grazie!

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes and no. Magneto is fast. Very fast, compared to humans, slow compared to speedsters - and he's always, always plotting. HOWEVER. His eyes? Give him away. Emotions, lies - they are there.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? His powers - it's a body language in and of itself and it's not something she should be able to figure out easily or quickly. Such as she'll be able to see that he's listening to or looking at something, but not what it IS that's caught his attention or how he's about to use his powers in fine detail.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? We'll work that case by case?
Anything else? Am I making sense?

Makes sense to me!

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Emma tries to control her body language, but while she's pretty good, it isn't her main focus. Telling what she's thinking in a social situation would probably yield broad emotions and sometimes extreme generalities -- that's where she's most practiced in containing her body language. In combat in would work better. Telling what she's planning to do physically probably works best - she's planning to use her body so her thoughts and her body are more closely connected. (The first time this comes up, you can assume she's telegraphing nearly everything to someone as good as quickly reading body language as you are; if she realizes she's been made, after that she'll train and she will remain readable but not as much so.) Telling what she's planning to do telepathically in combat wouldn't work so well because there's less reason for her body to get involved. Still considerable body language, but on the order of "She's planning a telepathic attack to disable him" and not "She's going to go into his head, grab that overdeveloped sense of chivalry, and make him unwilling to fight a woman."
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Mostly explained above. If Emma mucks with her own mind to compartmentalize running the body, or if she hangs out inside her own head, there's just nothing in the body langauge to read.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Emma's long-term schemes tend to be pretty well-contained inside her head.
Anything else?
Hacking: Emma's NV is well-protected, but it sends data in and out through normal public channels, so copies of even private network traffic could be obtained elsewhere. If I ever forget to label an encryption level, let me know. Her normal encryption is hackable (and will remain so though it'll get harder to hack) but she has access to other filters. Mmm.... She has an entirely different NV for business which is better protected.
Network body language: If I haven't labeled Emma's comment as Text/ Voice/ Video, assume it's the same as whatever she's responding to. If that's not clear, feel free to assume video.

Got'cha!

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? I'm actually not sure if they've met in canon. :|9 But yes, feel free to have her base what he can/will do.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Mostly his emotional state. He's gotten extremely good on clamping down on that, except when around Bruce.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Not that I know of?
Anything else? Vitamin D is good for you! idk I'm lame

They...have not, but she's been compared to him by Bruce twice. And she knows he was the crazy mofo in Battle for the Cowl.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? I don't see why she wouldn't be able to predict what he's doing. What he's thinking or planning, on the other hand would probably be a good deal more difficult - as a Nobody he doesn't properly have emotions and so anything he actually shows is faked for the benefit of people around him. Of course, it's still partly habit for him to show the outward signs of most things, but it might read a little as if he's always lying, I guess? He's also got a pretty good poker face, when he feels the need and this probably extends somewhat into his body language.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Apart for the above he also has the ability to temporarily stop time in a given area for anyone but him and I'm assuming that would naturally leave gaps in her predictions when he does so. I'll generally mention when he's doing this, since he doesn't use his abilities all that often.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Not that I can think of, but feel free to ask if you've got questions.
Anything else? Nope!

P-P-P-Pokerface.

Anyway, that's cool.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes--feeling more than thinking.

If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Not many--Bruce (who admittedly knows her better) finds her a totally open book. Plus Lois rarely tries to hide anything. The one thing that I'd rather she not necessarily get is Clark's second job, not from Lois. That's his right to share or not share, even on this level, I think. If you want the tl;dr that I have sanely cut off about her body language around the two personas, I can give that to you here or privately or whatever.

Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? The rare occasion where Lois just... decides at whim to do something and honestly doesn't know what it is ahead of time. She can be stupidly impulsive and change direction at the last minute. Very, very rare for Cass, but it might happen. I'd let you know ahead of time. Again: feeling will be hugely obvious, but sometimes her thought process is convoluted and a weird mix of rational/irrational.

Anything else? OMG CASS! ilu. Also, Lois finds the bat-kids in general adorable and is possibly going to take Cass under her wing at some point with "Here, this is HOW TO BE A NORMAL GIRL while still being all superhero-y, trust me it's possible."

(Sorry I talk a lot.)

The one other specific thing, I think, is that Cass should be able to read off of Lois that she is acutely aware that Bruce is Batman--and is pretending at herself that she doesn't know to try to protect him, even if she is having trouble staying in denial about it. Cass might find this highly dangerous. ;-D

She'll probably keep an eye on Lois, but because she's close to Superman and Clark, she'll probably back off.

BUT YES TO NORMAL GIRL TIMES ;A;

If/When we get Stephanie in, they can tagteam Cass.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? N/A
Anything else? Nada!

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Of course! Feel free to clarify things if you want to.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None. Though Damian doesn't always express himself verbally, his body language is an open book.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? None as well.
Anything else? /gathers into arms

Awesome. I'll keep that in mind.

/scoops up

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes, though he's not prone to showing off anything, and he's good at keeping things rather compartmentalized as you do know.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? See above.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? None that I can think of.
Anything else? Probably a no on the hacking, since he's never done a post that's been able to be hacked.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yep!
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? It'll be easy to read for Liquid, less so for Kimihiko. However, Kimihiko adjusts his attitude and body language depending on who he's talking with, so if she's observing she could easily notice he's learnt to fake it, and through careful observation notice when it's his actual body language and not his acting.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? That Kimihiko and "Lucy" are the same person. Nothing else jumps to mind right away, but if it's anything devastating, just ask me first.
Anything else? As to hacking, Liquid's NV's an open book most of the time. He uses very low levels of security. Kimi, on the other hand, uses a range from low (anything just marked "private") to high (generally labelled "near-unhackable").

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? None, he is an open book.
Anything else? HE IS AN OPEN BOOK OMG.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? She can, since Snow doesn't check herself when it comes to that sort of thing.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Just not that she's a Fable, but that's not something anyone is able to figure out anyway.
Anything else? None.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Raven's got good control and she often hides beneath her cloak and hood. Her emotions, when she's really concentrating, will be hard to tell. But under normal circumstances, it won't be too hard.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Nothing in particular.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yep.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Given Cass had a hard time following Slade's actions in canon, I'd say that she might be able to predict but not necessarily to act in time?
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Slade's a pretty difficult character to read with motivations that don't actually show on the surface so I'd say she could predict his actions in battle but not necessarily in other ways? If that makes sense.
Anything else? YOU SILLY BAT CHILDREN, ALWAYS GETTING UP IN HIS BUSINESS. B|

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Probably...not.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Aslan is probably one of the most and least predictable beings in the city. So, uh...case-by-case basis maybe?
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? We'll talk if it comes up.
Anything else? Er...Cass should meet Jesus Lion? One day?

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Given how many sides Xigbar has and the fact that he doesn't actually have emotions to get a read on...I would say he'd be exceptionally difficult to get a handle on. But possible.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? As stated above, since Xigbar has no emotions, pretty much everything he does is an act. So yeah -- she could maybe get a read on his patterns in battle, but other than that, prolly not much.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Just...perceiving his 'true self' in general, I guess. Since he never shows that side to anyone.
Anything else? Totally open to discuss all of this if they ever meet! c:

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yep.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None!
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? He is an open book.
Anything else? ♥

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes! Both Jack and Merlin are fairly obvious with their body-language, so.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? None, really.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Nope!
Anything else? I'M SO SLEEPY. CUDDLE ME, KAL.

/CUDDLES FOREVER

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Kinda. If Starscream is in car mode, she'll only have his voice to work with, which isn't so bad since it's quite expressive. If he's in robot mode...hell yes.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this?None that I can think of
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict?Same as above
Anything else?Have fun!

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? I'd rather not have her figure out what he is, only that he is a lot more alert and calm than he gives appearance of, acting a perfect child. He has a lot of practice blending in, and that's really all he seeks to do a majority of the time.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? He has some incredibly murky/confused emotions relating to Erik, but aside from that I'd rather not have her be able to glean anything about their connection or anything he knows about Magneto aside from the fact he cares for and admires him.
Anything else? He is blood-chillingly terrified of the Rail Tracer, Claire Standfield, but aside from that he's not likely to have strong emotional responses to things.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing?Yes and no: Sonya very rarely hides what she's thinking, but she's rather reserved and and doesn't waste words or movements.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Sonya's been trained,to deal with interrogators, so while Cass may know or read something into Sonya, she won't be able to get the 'how' or why'.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? No, Sonya's fairly 'nuetral' in terms of just meeting someone.
Anything else? not really.

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Snake exudes an air of calmness (and dry arrogance) almost constantly. I would say in general his motives and his body language will be more obscure than the average person's, but if he is caught off-guard and being emotional for some reason, it would be possible.

If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Due to his own observances of others being greatly defined by how a person walks, hold themselves and speaks, and his own naturally detached demeanor, Snake is more conscious of his movement, and thus more restrained - though he's also simply more naturally calm than he is really 'hiding' any impulses. His intentions are generally pretty straightforward - curiosity, mostly, though there can be layers to that. I just don't think he would be an immediate and obvious 'tell' in general.

That being said, to someone who picks up body language it will probably be fairly clear that Snake has a prosthetic left arm, though it is a very advanced.

Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? His usage of telepathy and what he uses it for would probably be difficult to track, as it would come off as him 'looking' or 'listening' extra-hard, I think.

Anything else? You are a beautiful person. :)

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yyyyyes.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? If violence is the language she's fluent in I can't explain why she wouldn't miss it in him. It might be awkward if she picked up on any plans or thoughts relating to assassination/killing/torture. Or, if you think she should, hit me up on plurk first. ♥
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? I don't know right now, I will possibly edit this when I'm more awake~
Anything else? A fight between these two would be so cool just saying

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Simon tends to say a lot through his body language rather than his facial expression or through words, I'd say Cass could read him easily enough, though she may get a lot of "awkward awkward awkward".
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Since Cass can only read immediate intentions if I'm understanding her power correctly...I'd say no real limits. Simon can keep secrets when he really, really needs to, however, so on the off-chance that this comes up in play...we shall discuss? :|a
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Can't think of anything that wouldn't already be beyond the scope of her abilies.
Anything else? Feel free to ask any time and SORRY I DIDN'T DO THIS SOONER! *failure*

Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Yes. A world of yes. Especially concerning his thoughts, he's an open book.
If yes, what limitations do you have on this? WELL SOMETIMES Griffin has a habit of changing his mind right when he's in the middle of an action. He's kind of ADD.
Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Nope! All is fair game.
Anything else? HOW HAVE I NOT FILLED THIS OUT YET
