ATX: permissions, etc.
Everyone who agrees to undertake the mantle of DURHAM within the UK Order are given the power of mnemokinesis to allow them to wipe the memories of all out-going operatives before they are returned to their civilian lives. Another aspect of this role is that Durhams are likewise expected to be able to create fabricated memories to account for the operative's time as an Order agent.
Whilst on board the Tranquility Durham will be deprived of the ability to create or alter any established memories whilst still possessing the power to destroy and read them. Whilst he can only destroy them whilst maintaining physical contact with the intended subject Durham can pick up vague impression (at the most, faint details; at the least, the idea that the subject is reflecting on memories or recalling something even if Durham doesn't know exactly what that is).
Some characters may carry memories of past events that figure very heavily in their subconscious psyche and Durham may be able to pick up on these by, idk, brushing against them in the corridor! If this is something you would like to persue then please drop a comment below!
If you have been redirected here because you currently have a character threading with Durham then chances are that Durham might be able to pick up on a few stray memories/might be instigating some kind of physical contact! If you have any memories of any kind that you are happy for him to pick up on then please slap a few details in to the comments below. Thank you! <3
I. tagging permissions
1. can I threadjack your threads? YEP
2. are you okay with extensive backtagging? YEP dear god yes
3. what about hand-waving thead endings? Most likely yes!
II. 'can my character...'
1. break your character's fourth wall? no fourth wall to break, but feel free to identify him as looking rather like an Austen hero or something.
2. read your character's mind? YES contact me for details with regards to things they might pick up!
3. fight yours? What's your win/lose/tie policy? Yes, bring on the fighting. Results will be decided on a case-by-case basis but I am more than okay with the idea of him losing; Durham isn't particularly a fair fighter but he is old fashioned.
4. flirt with yours? Oh dear god yes. He is immensely tactile and will most likely reciprocate.
5. romance yours? Aw yes. As I said, Durham is terribly old-fashioned and an absolute SUCKER for romance. Same-sex romance is a bit of a prickly and problematic issue; contact me for further details on that!
6. use any other kind of superpowers on your character? HAHA bring it on B)
7. kill your character? Possibly. Considering the permadeath rule at Ataraxion this will only happen IF I decide to drop him. I won't rule this out in the future but for now I don't see it happening any time soon.

Also the process is selective - he isn't offering to delete ALL the memories, just the ones of the torture process. So it wouldn't be a complete mindwipe!

Annie doesn't want just Strela gone. She wants to lose fairly significant chunks of her life for the past five years, starting with the events of her Games, going up to watching her Tributes die, and ending in watching the 75th Hunger Games and the Capitol tortures. This...will be hugely lifechanging, I'm excited for UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.
