>>119970914To be honest with you, that sounds kind of, I don't know, too anime-ish, I guess, to be my kind of thing.
Anyway, just thinking about the concept a bit, I always kind of figured that a mind control power would have to be something kind of intentional on the controller's part. If your character is afraid of hurting people too badly, then either they've got some kind of really out there anger issues, or the control is just really casual and easy for them.
Maybe that latter part could be how you do it, like it just automatically happens to anyone who happens to make eye contact for too long, whether intentional or not. I feel like that could be kind of an interesting concept, someone who doesn't want people under their control all the time, but that their power just snaps people up without their meaning to.
