It occurs to me that I forgot to do anything like this before so here goes!
Ivan has two major abilities that could be considered invasion of privacy: Mind Read and Reveal. The former is exactly what it says on the tin - reads minds, sends thoughts, etc. The latter is a little more complex, but basically allows him to see through illusions, or find hidden items, doors, etc. He tends to spam either of these abilities on a whim, especially Mind Read.
Note: Mind Read typically just picks up surface thoughts, or what they're thinking about at the time. He's also able to read into people's memories with a little more effort. Either he or I will always ask explicit permission before doing the memory thing! This post is just for the surface thoughts thing.
So bearing that in mind, I've got three different parts of the same question for y'all.
I also have a permanent post over here which anyone can hit up at any time. :>
Thank you! I look forward to not screwing up soon!

- Would you be uncomfortable with Ivan reading your character's mind or seeing through an illusion about them? If so I will not have him do it.
- Is there anyone whose mind he theoretically could read, but REALLY REALLY REALLY SHOULDN'T? Riful is already on this list.
- Would mind-reading have something other than the usual effect on your character? For instance, do they have mental shielding/feedback, are they a robot, AI, being from a higher plane of reality, something like that? How would we like that to work?
