TELEPATHY: Jean is, at this point, a ridiculously powerful telepath. She senses the people around her by default; tuning them out completely is a massive effort, and leaves her vulnerable besides. She can see into a person's deepest thoughts as easily as blinking.
She's better at not doing it accidentally, though, most of the time. But it could happen, or she could be more deliberate.
If you say no, or to ask you first, I can work it so she chooses not to do whatever. \o/ (Or your character's mind might be too powerful/too alien for her!)
Can Jean sense your characters' emotions? This will be the most common; powerful emotions were always easy to feel, and she's more sensitive now.
Can Jean read your character's surface thoughts? Stuff like "man I'm hungry", "gosh X is cute", "ugh my hair sucks today".
Can Jean read deeper thoughts? The stuff they're not concentrating on consciously. Memories.
Can Jean change your characters' thoughts? This is something she tries not to do, but she will definitely slip up. It can be something like - suddenly your character doesn't want to talk to her, or suddenly they want to help someone else, or wow those violent urges have disappeared! She can also erase memories.
Can Jean control your character? Jean tries not to do this, too, but see above. She's most likely to do it in combat situations. She can make people say or do whatever she wants, basically.
Can Jean knock out your character? Jean could do this even before Phoenix; just turning the lights off in your head, for a while.
TELEKINESIS: Jean is also...very proficient at this. She can manipulate matter at a molecular level. When it comes to people, she'll mostly use it to freeze their movements or throw them at something.
I'll treat this like any physical violence; she strikes, you decide how your character reacts.
This also applies to COSMIC FLAMES.
In general, I'll ask before throwing Jean into combat situations, because she's annoyingly god tier.

The plate prevents Bill from possessing him, and it's also repelled a mind-altering ray of radiation. However, it doesn't keep Bill out of his dreams, so it's not a perfect barrier. Which of Jean's abilities do you think would get past it?

Can Jean knock out your character? Not psychically. Telekinetically? Absolutely.
If she ever wants to sneak around the metal plate with atomic telekinesis, just holla at me that she's doing it, and all those nos become yes-es across the board.

ETA ALSO she'll probably notice there's a block there if they're interacting face to face? Maybe not immediately, but eventually.
