Caren possesses an odd little ability that allows her to detect evil... because it causes her physical pain, particularly in the case of demonic possession. In extreme cases (the canonical example being 'All The Evils of The World') it will outright cause her body to spontaneously sprout angry spikes; not good for her health as you might imagine. Strong magic can also affect it and she can generally 'tell' if someone is a bit spiritually/magically odd.

Basically, if your character is 'evil' in a defined or detectable way, please tag here with a description! That way I can figure out how Caren's ability will react to it. There are no counter-effects on the other character, it's just she has a literal morality/magic-dar.

Secondly, if your character is male, Caren will able to use Shroud of Magdalene to bind him; leaving him incapable of doing anything (save presumably getting very irritated with Caren). On the upside, if anyone physically attacks him whilst he's bound, the effect will end, so she can't (easily) abuse it to get them killed. I'd basically like permission as to whether Caren can do this or not, since obviously it's affecting other characters.

Basically, all I need to know is:

Is/has your character (been) possessed by demons or is strongly associated in evil in some way? (A simple description would help immensely)

Does your character have a strong magical affiliation / power / whathaveyou? (Again a basic description of how it works would be most useful here)

(If male) Can Caren use the Shroud on your character? (Yes/No/Delete if not applicable)

Thanks for reading!

To my knowledge alchemy is external rather than internal (ie whack the correct combination of mercury together and bam magic happens) so it wouldn't pick up much on the Caren-dar.

She will, assuming no-one corrects her mistake first.

Unfortunately, Hellsing just kind of offhandedly mentions Integra's family essentially used alchemy to enhance Dracula's power for their own shenanigans, and locked them with seals (that only the heir of the Hellsing bloodline can unlock), whilst conveniently leaving out how it works.

TL;DR Hellsing runs on rule of cool. /face in hands.

Yesssss, excellent.
