So Saya is... a very triggery character. She comes from a canon with rape, torture, murder, cannibalism, pedophilia, tentacle sex, and just about every messed up thing you can think of.
Luckily, she's not the type of person to bring any of that up to other people, but all of this hits rather close to home for her seeing as she was involved in all of it, both intentionally and unintentionally.
There are a lot of warnings for her. I know this may make it extremely hard to interact with her character, so feel free to cut off conversations at any time or PM me about not wanting her to contact your character again (or even in the first place!)
WHICH LEADS TO THESE PERMISSIONS! (Wow, that was long, wasn't it?)
I'm hesitant to even as the 'can I...?' questions because her abilities are so invasive. Everything involving her abilities being used will be discussed with the mun of the character she's playing with. Therefore, this isn't so much a 'can I' as a 'are you interested...?' If you're not, I won't contact you about it.
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Being able to look at her straight on may require a 12 at least, but 10 means they may be able to build a tolerance easier, although she still wouldn't ever appear in their presence voluntarily. And 10 doesn't mean 'nothing fazes them', but more that they're easily able to bounce back from mental trauma. 'Nothing fazes them' is generally quite vulnerable to depletion in sanity. 1 means they're already certifiably insane, and she might actually not mind being with those people because... what more damage can she do?
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Because Saya smells bad. Just as she can't be seen, sounds like nails against chalkboards and static, she also smells like rot and disease, which accumulates over time since she likes staying in one place. She's going to stay as far away from people as possible, but those with sensitive noses may be able to smell her lair if they wander too close. (For example, with humans, they could smell the rotten from the next house when she stayed in one place for three months.)
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Physically, mentally, emotionally, anything. Saya can perform brain surgery just by inserting her tendrils through open orifices to either hurt or heal without leaving a trace of what's wrong or right. This will, obviously, have to be plotted out in detail and can be easily reversed by her. So if you'd like your character with enhanced senses for a while, or some strange illness or whatever, it may be possible to play out through her!
4. Any other pertinent information? Exactly as that says! \o/ If there are any questions here, I'll do my best to answer them!
...Also, I don't describe what Saya looks like because only one person in her canon managed to look at her and keep their sanity (so she's never been 'seen'), and that one person was her Papa.

While her history is not Lovecraft, Saya is a Lovecraftian monster. What does that mean? Let's just say most people can't look at her without going insane because her form is so blasphemous to the human mind. You can't hear her voice without wanting to either run away or destroy the thing that emitted that sound. She does not look like her icons. Her form in those icons is what the main character of her canon sees her as, but he's a little... let's just say crazy.
Can your character face her without going insane? Yes, actually! But not suddenly. If your character is into the occult and deals with demonic creatures regularly (not just horned people with different coloured skin, but the type of creatures with guts falling out, skin peeling and maybe eating human eyeballs or something), then there's a good chance that after the initial shock, you may retain your sanity. (I'm not certain how much it would increase a person's paranoia, though.) Otherwise, you can also face her if you slowly prepare yourself to face someone like her. Prolonged communications with her, maybe, and brief glimpses of just parts of her may slowly build an immunity. Saya is not out to cause people to go insane, after all. It's a thing she can't control.
Now let's go beyond physical appearances. This is where it might get a little scary. Saya is incredibly smart (trumping supercomputers when she's bored and solving math equations that may not be solved in hundreds of years within a day) and has the ability to alter the biology of animals. Humans, specifically, so aliens and robots are currently safe because it takes some, um, particular and thorough genetic samples before she can learn about other species. Samples that I really, really doubt she'd be able to get her hands on so let's not get into that.
But what does that mean? It means that she can change people. Fix them, or break them. If she knows the DNA of the species, then she has the ability to fix terminal illnesses, brain conditions, and anything-everything in-between. It's not beyond her abilities to trick a missing limb into growing back or trigger a latent ability in their brain or genome. I say this because she at the peak of that ability is the ability to physically alter human beings until they resemble... anything else. Even her. And they won't die.
Let's just say in advance for her: the 'can I hug/kiss/be in a relationship with Saya?' questions...? The answer's an outright no right now. You can fight her and injure her, but she's also got a ridiculously fast healing ability (probably connected to her ability to affect a body), and it is really really hard to kill her. Gunshots won't do it, but repeated blunt force trauma would do the trick.
