Charles is a telepath, and kind of a powerplaying sort of telepath at that, alas, which means I need your help with a few questions.
1. Can he read your character's mind?
a) Do they have something blocking him from reading their mind? Do you have an idea for what that might feel like to a telepath? (Emma Frost's diamond wall, a smooth shield he glances off of, etc. If you don't have a headcanon, I'll invent something.)
b) Do you want to opt out of mindreading? Charles can't switch off the surface stuff, like catching particularly strong thoughts or feelings, but I can easily say he doesn't choose to delve any deeper.
2. Is there anything you want Charles to find out about/anything your character thinks about enough that he WOULD find out about?
3. Is there anything he absolutely shouldn't find out about?
4. Anything you want to add that a telepath should know?
I realise a lot of this will be a case by case basis, but this is a really helpful starting point for me. Thanks!

Ellie
2. Lord. Ellie has kind of hit the skids at her current canonpoint - she's on her own, taking care of her half-dead adoptidad who got stabbed through the gut by rebar during a scuffle. Him showing up will take some of the pressure off of that valve, but she's been on her own for 'a few weeks', according to in-game dialogue, and in that time she's had to kill more than a few people (and zombies) to survive and protect Joel. She just got kidnapped by cannibals. And then showed up here. SO THERE'S A FEW THINGS HE MIGHT PICK UP.
3. Nah.
4. She's immune to the Cordyceps infection, which is her world's version of zombies. Her immunity is a huuuge deal, of course, and she's under strict instructions from Joel not to tell anyone about it. She always wears long sleeves to hide the bite on her arm.
She's lost pretty much everyone close to her in one way or another, and blames herself for a lot of it. The most significant people are Riley - her friend and girlfriend who got bit at the same time she did - and two other survivors she and Joel met pretty early on, Henry and Sam. Sam was her age. He got bitten, attacked her when he started to turn, and his brother (Henry) shot him before killing himself. There's also Joel's significant other, Tess, who was bitten while helping transport Ellie to a handoff that turned into an ambush. She still hasn't forgiven herself for that.
A visual progression from immediately post-infection to long-time infection. IT'S GROSS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLICK.
