PERMISSIONS & POWERS

[brickjoke]

[OOC]

Backtagging: Of course!
Threadhopping: UH YES! Go right ahead! If the thread seems plotty or private, ask first.
Fourthwalling: YES. ALL OF IT. Well ok, preferably not plotstuff of the Lego Batman Movie itself, but otherwise go to town. Honestly, his whole existence is fairly fourth wall-y it's basically his entire canon
Offensive subjects: Head's up before going into detail on super heavy topics (especially sexual assault/rape or suicide) are not necessary but appreciated

[IC]

Hugging this character: i mean sure
Kissing this character: uh yes but do not fuck the lego
Flirting with this character: if u rly want
Fighting with this character: heck yeah
Injuring this character: yes
Killing this character: plot with me !!
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: ABSOLUTELY, just give me a head's up

IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH YOUR CHARACTER BEING TURNED INTO A LEGO (I'll ask permission first every time) PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN RESPONSE TO THIS POST. Just be like "yeah go for it" and feel free to like, link a picture of a lego version of your character (that's not necessary it's just fun)

ALSO the LEGO Batman Movie takes place in the wider lego-verse, which means that if your character has a canonical lego version of themselves he might recognize them - similar to Fourth Walling but not quite. Let me know if that's okay with you! I'm playing fast and loose with it.

If you don't want to tag or be tagged by Joker, please send me a pm & I'll take that into account no worries!

1: LEGOMORPHOSIS
With a touch, Joker can turn objects or people into lego! Buildings too, but they’re much more difficult for him and he can only do that rarely. People can resist this power if they really don’t want to be turned into lego, though, and with PCs it’ll be up to the player and always with player permission.

This effect is temporary and can usually last minutes to hours, determined by his will, attention span or proximity. So while he can consciously turn things back into normal things again, they could also revert just because he forgot he transformed something into lego in the first place. Similarly, he has to be in the same city or similar area - if they get too far away they’ll turn back.

For people he turns to lego, they’re still capable of doing whatever a lego mini-figure can do in the movie, ie speak, move, change facial expressions, somehow hold things or climb things with the claw hands, etc. Additionally, there’s some level of hammerspace going on when they put things into their pockets or bags, and this can apply to things larger than themselves (though nothing larger or heavier than what a normal person could carry with their hands). Voices are somehow as audible as normal people talking.

If a person is dismantled or damaged as a lego minifigure they are “reassembled” before returning to their bodies. If someone kills them with lego logic (ie shooting them with a lego gun) they’ll get Xs over their eyes and “die” until they return to their regular form - this does not count as a real death. This is for fun, not body horror. If the figure is completely destroyed somehow, they’ll die for real though.

He can also use this power to turn himself into a real human or back into lego, though for himself there is no time limit to how long he can stay a lego - otherwise the same rules apply.

2: TOYS AURA US
Toys (including but not limited to lego) become alive in his presence. This is a passive power that’s basically always “on”, not one that he can consciously control.

For toys that come alive, like teddy bears or model dinosaurs, they remain toys but work similarly to the Lego or Toy Story - they remain toys but are capable of dynamic movement and speech. These toys won’t be sentient, even if they’re supposed to be human. They’re more like NPCs in a video game -- only saying the same three things, doing the same movements over and over, and so on.

For objects, they’re still perfectly capable of functioning as if they were real. Toy planes will somehow be able to fly, plastic balloons can float, a lego microwave can cook a lego lobster, a lego person can then eat that lobster, a barbie computer will still connect to the internet, and so on.

For this effect he has to be somewhere nearby, within his eyesight or earshot, and everything will become regular toys again once he’s gone.

3: WILD CARD APPEARANCE
When Joker turns human, he can turn into any version of himself that exists. A human version of himself as is? Yup! Nicholson’s Joker? Sure! Romero? Why not? DCAU? Go for it! And so on and so forth.

This only affects his appearance - his voice and personality remain the same. And as a telltale sign that it’s him and not really any other version of the joker, he’ll retain his card symbol tattoos on his forearms and cartoonishly pointed teeth (For reference.)

Joker himself has no control over which one he turns into - it’s either random or ironically fitting and kicks in whenever he turns human after being lego for a while.
