Editing Cherish (section)

===Power Interactions===
Due to being an emotion-manipulating [[Master]], Cherish is unable to effectively manipulate capes that experience significantly dulled emotion, such as [[Regent]].<ref>His emotions were so muted. Dim. How much of that was Jean-Paul or Alec’s personality, and how much was his natural immunity, built up over years of exposure to Daddy? She couldn’t get a sense of what he was feeling, which was disappointing. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/interlude-11g/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11g]]</ref> Regent's control over people also kept her from forcing his puppets to hurt themselves, though her ability to emotionally overload people effectively made them useless to him.<ref>She reached for the three people who stood between her and her brother, manipulated their emotions towards Alec.  Filled them with suspicion, paranoia, hate.<br><br>They didn’t budge.<br><br>“Cut it out, Cherie,” Alec said, “I’m controlling them.”<br><br>“If I remember right, you lose control if they’re hit by enough emotion,” she smiled.  She turned up the intensity.<br><br>“If I’m farther away.  Seriously, stop.  It’s irritating.”<br><br>One of the men fell to his knees.  His hands were clenched at his sides.  Beads of sweat rolled down the faces of the other two, tears appearing in their eyes.<br><br>“While I’m doing this, you can’t tell them to attack me.”<br><br>“Unless I’ve gotten stronger over the past few years,” Alec answered.  The man who was still standing reached for a knife and started walking towards Cherish.<br><br>She hit the knife wielder with fear and indecision, saw him stop.<br><br>For nearly a minute, they engaged in a tug of war over the three subjects.<br><br>“Seems we have a stalemate,” she said, finally. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/interlude-11g/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11g]]</ref> [[Tattletale]] speculated that because they are family, Regent might have issues controlling her with his power.<ref>“In the euphemistic sense.  Her value as a captive is minimal and we have no way to secure her until Regent can finish using his ability on her.”<br><br>“He’s resistant to her power,” Tattletale said, “But that goes both ways.  Don’t know how well he’d be able to control her.  She might break free.  Benefits of being family, I guess.” - [[Snare 13.6]]</ref>

Emotion-manipulating capes typically have some degree of resistance to her emotion manipulation (e.g., 80-100% depending on how connected they are to their [[passenger]]s at the time), and vice versa.<ref name="R5" /> For example, [[Gallant]] would fuzz her emotion map, and his blasts against her victims could either stop them from acting or dispel the effects of her emotion manipulation.<ref name="R5" /> However, she in turn would not really be affected by the emotional aspects of his blasts, though the concussive aspects would still be effective against her.<ref name="R5">Having emotion manipulation usually appends a degree of emotion manipulation resistance. They'd probably both be pretty darn resistant to one another. That would include Gallant fuzzing Cherish's emotion map. His blast could theoretically knock her on her ass but wouldn't do much more than that (and against those she was controlling, would probably dash whatever effects were present to the winds, or sufficiently confuse/paralyze them to stop whatever Cherish had them doing).<br><br>When I say 'pretty darn resistant', I'd really say that the 80-100% resistance they had would veer one way or the other depending on how in concert they were with their passenger at the time of the encounter. - [https://redd.it/70amzk Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> [[Victoria]], who pinged off Gallant,<ref>'''Darchiasq''':<br/>It's not breaking SoD that Gallant is a bud off Glory Girl, but it seems very unlikely. I think Gallant has been a cape too long for that to be possible. Another big argument for Aegis being a Cauldron cape is that his powers majorly changed his physiology, which is a telltale sign of being one. However, I don't think it's unlikely that he could be an Eden natural trigger, like Leet and String Theory.<br/><br/>'''Andrew Greaves''':<br/>It occurred to me, belatedly, that something like the reverse might be possible.<br/><br/>We know that Glory Girl is a second generation Cape, and the origins of her force field power are rather obvious. But what about her empathic aura? Where did that come from?<br/><br/>It's well known that second Triggers involve polling any other Shards within range and such, but does this also happen with first Triggers? Could Gallant have already been a cape and nearby when she Triggered?<br/><br/>Of course, she could have also second Triggered with him nearby at some point. Incidentally, as a second gen, I'd surmise that her second Trigger would be psychologically comparable to a first gen's first Trigger.<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''':<br/>You're thinking along the right lines, re: the source of her aura, Andrew. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14795766/ Comment by Wildbow] on Spacebattles</ref> would presumably also resist being read or influenced by Cherish;<ref>As someone with the ability to control emotions, I was supposed to be harder to read and affect. It was why I’d deflected Crystalclear earlier.<br><br>It was why Dean and I had gotten along. Even why we’d been possible. - [[Daybreak 1.5]]</ref><ref>Maybe [[Gallant|he's]] interested in [[Glory Girl|her]] because he can't get a perfect read on her - Comment by Wildbow on IRC, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/17029118/ archived on Spacebattles]</ref> Cherish would presumably resist [[Victoria_Dallon#Aura|Victoria's aura]] as well.<!--<ref name="13.7 e1">“You’re not really in a position to be making demands,” Trickster said. “You’re bleeding to death, and we do have the ability to hurry the process along.”<br/><br/>Cherish shrugged. “Bonesaw gave me the works. Mesh sheaths for every major artery and organ, wire reinforcement for my skeleton. It’s not going to kill me anytime soon.”<br/><br/>I made a mental note of that. Chances were good that Jack, Bonesaw and the other more vulnerable members of the Nine had some similar protection. How differently would things have played out if Ballistic had used his power and blown them up?<br/><br/>“I could,” Trickster threatened. “Or we could wait and see which happens first: Either you agree to share the information we want or you slowly bleed out.”<br/><br/>“A game of chicken? I’m down.” Cherish prodded her injury with a fingertip. It was clear it hurt, but she still stuck a finger into the hole and investigated some. “The auto-injection pump is dosing me with painkillers and antibiotics now. First time feeling this stuff work.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/18/snare-13-7/ Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.7]]</ref> with special attention was paid to the organs and spine to keep them functioning.<ref name="14.10 e1" /> She also rendered her teammates resistant to her pathogens,<ref name="14.10 e1">“A benefit of little Bonesaw’s smoke,” Jack answered. “If I recall correctly, it’s something of a safeguard in case she accidentally deploys a concoction she hasn’t immunized herself or the rest of our team against. The fact that it works against bugs and small rodents is a side benefit, rather than the intent. Bonesaw’s work has made us members of the Nine more or less immune to disease anyways.”<br/><br/>“And the gunshot?”<br/><br/>“Subdermal mesh.  There’s more protection around the spine and organs, and you landed that shot pretty close to my spine.  It hurts quite a bit.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/prey-14-10/ Excerpt] from [[Prey 14.10]]</ref> and granting them artificial neurons which allowed them to make plans [[Cherish]] could not see, it is unknown if this could be adapted for other [[Master]] powers.<ref name="12.4 e1">Jack paced back and forth, two or three steps at a time, gesticulating with his knife.  “I was looking forward to Cherish’s attempt.  Bonesaw and I even had a plan in mind.  I wanted to see what she did, how she worked around Siberian’s immunity to her power… then the safeguards Bonesaw implanted in us would have kicked in and released us from her thrall, and oh, the look on her face.  To have seen that would have been so very worth all the trouble.  And that girl just spoiled it all.”<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>Jack was getting heated, talking mostly to himself.  “That was the whole point!  To see how long we could go without tipping her off.  Bonesaw helped with some surgery, even some artificial neural connections that Cherish wouldn’t be able to see.  So much work and preparation ruined.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/plague-12-4/ Excerpt] from [[Plague 12.4]]</ref>
