Okay, so this is something that will definitely involve the whole cast. SO!
Basically...generally when I joined I was aiming more towards the "Vriska learns to better herself" type of development, but it's actually gone quite the opposite direction! She was originally excited that she got a second chance at life, but she feels more like a failure as she keeps alienating herself. She keeps going back and forth on how she thinks John actually feels about her and is coming to the point she's giving up on that. She was already battling with the idea that because her death was just before she got to do anything heroic she planned on during their session, that maybe she was better off to the rest of her friends dead in the first place. That toppled with the fact that no one really wants to talk to her or hang out with her (even though it's her own fault) has cemented it further. When Terezi showed up and doesn't even seem to hate her despite the fact that SHE was the one that killed her, well...
Vriska's kind of at the end of her rope.
So.
I'm actually hoping to get something going where she starts to stop taking it out on herself and does what she does BEST: takes all her frustrations and insecurities out on other people! She's been trying to troll as usual to keep up appearances and show a general indifference to what everyone is doing, but I'd like her to get more and more snappy and vindictive as she goes along, with the eventual idea of hurting better or better: making them hurt each other. Because as long as everyone else has to suffer, she can at least say she's done something noticeable!
That's the general idea I'm going with. Obviously, I would love cast input and if you're willing, would like some guinea pigs to torture as well.

Or rather...

EDIT: OKAY! With the potentiality of Vriska controlling people by their BRAINS, I'll do a quick overview how I have adapted her abilities to fit the game...
Obviously, there are only certain trolls she can control. Terezi seems to be the cut-off, so I imagine lower bloods would be fair game, while anyone that qualifies as a blueblood or higher is off-limits.
As for HUMANS...in the comic she really only sends them to sleep. Now, that would be kind of boring if that's all she could do. She's dabbled with this a bit for fun with various characters already in SP, but without the barrier of separate universes/realities, Vriska can do quite a bit more. It would be super godmode for her to control everyone ever, though, so that's not how it works. She has to see a person and be able to actually picture them in her mind before she can control them. That would mean Joe Bob in Kansas doesn't have to worry about anything, but Dave Strider obviously would.
As for how much she can do, I've been leaving up to the individual. Some people who aren't the sharpest tools in the shed are more susceptible to her powers than others. (A.K.A. Bella Swan would jump off a cliff if Vriska told her too and Sherlock Holmes would be able to fight it off at least to some extent, if not quite well). Depending on their awareness of the situation and how emotionally they both are invested.
That's kind of my idea.
