OFF-LIMIT TOPICS: Any plot involving sexual violence or assault isn't really something I'm looking to play at this stage. Aside from that, I'm fairly open to writing out darker subject matter provided all players are on the same page and the events have been mostly plotted out ahead of time so everyone knows what to expect. If there are issues with any other subjects on a case-by-case basis, I'll be in touch.

POWERS/ABILITIES: Per The Witcher wikia: Chaos (also known as the Force, Power, or primordial Chaos) is the power which is harnessed and used by mages and sorceresses. They can extract magical energy from the four elements, transport themselves long distances and heal, as well as kill, in the blink of an eye.

Yennefer is able to draw upon Chaos in order to perform several feats of varying skill and power, including summoning a destructive amount of fire, enchanting an entire town and its inhabitants to perform under her will, bottling lightning, taking the living force out of one thing (like a flower) and placing it into another, healing injuries of varying severity, performing a ritual to summon a djinn, and creating portals to travel between one location and another, among other things. The very principle of Chaos, however, creates the need for some form of balance in nature to offset the power that is being harnessed to perform various acts; when a significant amount of Chaos is being drawn upon, the consequence is the consumption of other energies to counter its use.

Aside from her Chaos, Yennefer also has light training and familiarity with swords and is seen to be quite capable of defending herself in combat against weaponed foes without necessarily requiring the use of her magic. She also has several decades of political experience, having navigated courtly life and orchestrated many diplomatic efforts while serving as the king of Aedirn’s mage.
