In general, I'll backtag pretty much forever if there's interest and I'm okay playing out most things, including violence, positive physical contact, and wacky mental shenanigans. That said, I do prefer to know what's going on at least to an extent, so if there's a thread that's going some of those directions, probably touching base is in order.
As for China in specific:
In addition to being quite beautiful in her own right, China possesses a passive magical effect that makes people fall in love with her, and it cannot be fully disabled. She can consciously increase it, if she has a particular reason to want to influence someone, but never decrease to zero. However, the effect does not linger long outside her physical presence. In-canon, it demonstrably affects just about everyone she meets.
People who experience lessened effects include:
-those who are used to her and/or who have gotten to know her;
-those who are prepared and/or particularly determined;
-those under another mental influence;
-possibly, those not generally attracted to women, though that can go both way as the 'love' she generates seems also capable of manifesting as something like a friend-crush or celebrity adoration.
At the lowest levels, it's fully possible to shake it off easily if a person becomes conscious of what's happening, and as with many such things, the stronger the will, the more likely it is that a person can break the effect even when China is concertedly trying.
All these things said, it can and does vary on a person-to-person basis, so the best thing to do is to sort it out before anything else can happen. With that in mind, questions!
Are you okay with China affecting your character this way? If you're not, we can work around it somehow, or simply avoid interaction. It's also possible that your character has a defense against mind-altering magic like this, which would also be good to be aware of.
If yes, what level of sway are you all right with? While the effect lasts only about as long as a person is in her presence, she's capable of coercing people into things they wouldn't ordinarily do, such as sharing sensitive information. If you'd prefer only a very low level, etc., let me know.
Other concerns? I would much rather everyone I play with be comfortable. If you have any concerns, or if you want to lay out a strict don't-go-here policy regarding something in particular, or if there's anything to raise that's not already been covered, let me know and we can work it out.
