GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES
So, Charles is a telepath. To steal from my Stats/Permissions:
Super-duper telepath. Including, but likely not limited to...
-Basic mind-reading. It's just like any other sense -- he can be just casually hearing the thoughts of people around him or be actively listening in.
-Commandeering other people's senses (kind of like having human spy drones...)
-Commandeering other people's, uh... persons. Basically, he can turn other people into human puppets. It's entirely as god-moddy as it sounds.
-Talking to people inside of their heads (which, given his ability to hear other people's thoughts, means that he can have entirely mental conversations with people, telepaths or not)
-Exploring memories, even those no longer consciously remembered
-Erasing memories
Only other telepaths seem to know when Charles is being sneaky inside of their heads (sometimes he's obvious).
If there's anything mentally remarkable about your characters, I'd love it if you would please drop me a comment! Mental shields, mental blocks, amnesia, telepathy, etc. and anything else you can think of that might be relevant to our interests.
Obviously, I am not going to godmode anyone without their permission. I am usually on IRC if I'm RPing and can also be reached through gmail/gchat, so please, please talk to me! I'd love to do all sorts of stuff, and the sky's the limit and I put my IC powers at your OOC service for funtimes.
Also, if you want to have fun with it, I think something that might be fun would be that, if you ever feel like it, please feel free to indicate what your character is thinking during any thread that we're having together. It doesn't even have to have anything to do with anything. If we're talking about srs bizness monsters attacking camp and your character has a random craving for pizza, feel free to note it! Again, sky's the limit. If there's anything that you think would be funny or dramatic or meaty, I want to take advantage of that opportunity!
Finally, Charles is not shy about the brain-talking. I'm going to use italicized blue text as my mental convention. If you see that talking to you, then that's Charles talking with his brain! And if you have some sort of mental shield that means that Charles is shouting into the wind, just continue with your BAMF business, you.
Basically: I don't want to god-mode people. Communication is key, and I always, always want to talk to you. And I also am really eager to do all sort of crazy telepathic shit with you.

Kanzaki Naoto used to have some really crazy self-induced amnesia and craziness re: viewing the world (in summary: repression repression EVERYTHING IS FINE LALALA let me have entire conversations with my comatose mother on the phone la la la). He's mostly past the amnesia and the craziness is sort of...refocused on Kazuki. So I dunno if Charles would notice that he's still not quite...sane, but it's more of a functioning sane now! Mostly! (As I mentioned in my stats/permissions, his general thought processes aren't too odd, but he will cycle back to think about Kazuki more than a more well-adjusted person would.)
Ouka doesn't have blocks or shields (...probably), and since I'm playing it as the Eye of Raphael in her hand is dormant, it's possible Charles wouldn't pick up on that. However, she does seem to have some major trauma/amnesia from her past that she doesn't seem to consciously remember (and also a few blank spots in her memory from when Raphael takes over). The trauma relates to basically being made into a WMD when she was three. Also, there was some talk in canon about Raphael using her suppressed personality to manifest, but that hasn't really been clarified so DO WITH THAT AS YOU WILL. If any of this comes up, I can try to give you a better summary if you need it \o/
The others don't really have interesting mental stuff going on. IN GENERAL blanket permission to do stuff or at least propose crazy things to do ♥

Aurica is a Reyvateil and her mind cannot be read as it is protected. What would happen if he tried would be that the first time the teddy bear in this icon (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/106279918/25062993) would appear and tell him in an exaggerated Spanish accent that Aurica doesn't want him there and that if he comes back then she will hurt him. Then if he does try again, Aurica's mind will subconsciously summon power from the core of their planet to burn his brain out. I. Yeah. It happens. it's awkward. I DON'T WANT TO FRY PROFESSOR X.
Aradia is a mutant troll which means that she's actually psychic and also susceptible to people using psychic powers on her. Though really given that she's an alien troll with godmode knowledge of the game they are in who would want to read her? NOT ME.
Elliot is a ... a character I play. This means that he had amnesia for ages, remembered a whole bunch of traumatic memories, got mind controlled and is dead. :') There may be some kind of lingering malevolent presence in his mind, though Elliot made a pretty good job of excising that by tearing himself apart. GOOD TIMES. also grieving his dead family and himself THAT HE KILLED.
Luca just has terrible self-esteem and a god's soul chilling in the back of his mind. Feel free to poke around.
Luke you know! WE SHOULD DO STUFF i haven't had him keel over and start glowing in AGES i feel like I'm missing a part of his characterisation.
Ronan is a wizard and therefore a telepath in his own right. There are some minor shields about OMG GALAXY SECRETS and stuff because he doesn't want to fry the brains of other telepaths, but Ronan's fairly open about what he's thinking.
Traci is fairly open too.
SECOND PART CONTAINS THE BIG ONE.

Julian is going to break poor Charles' mind. :( Julian is pretty much going to assume after a bit that Charles is from Yet Another Stupid Alternate Universe because Emma Frost in Julian's universe is not old enough to have gone palling around with Xavier and Magneto. It's cool, he's met Nightcrawler and Rogue, so he already knows about alternate universes. He's also from "current" continuity, as opposed to Jubilee and Cessily/Mercury, who are from different timelines.
Julian was a student of Xavier's and while he was there he was a favourite of Emma Frost's, who has decided to try being good for a while and is actually a fairly competent teacher when she's not being petty. While at Xavier's Julian has watched a bus of his friends get blown up, the school get blown up by people who hate mutants, fought a robot intent on killing all mutants, rescued his best friend from a lab where they experimented on her to make a weapon, went to hell to rescue his classmates, went to rescue the first mutant baby born after a massive depowering of like 90% of all mutants and got impaled horribly and almost died, got disowned by his parents, Magneto told him to come back when he was legal and not sixteen ...
Then things got nasty.
He got roofie'd and then injected with the Legacy Virus so that his powers would go out of control and blow up the UN Building because this is a good plan. Then martial law is declared and any mutants caught on the streets after curfew will be arrested - Julian decides to ~make a stand~ and gets himself arrested on national television, where he is dumped into a prison cell and has his powers ripped out of him horrifically once a day in order to power this guy who kills mutants. Then he gets freed, they all go and live in this island off the coast of California and then like 100,000 mutant killing robots from the future travel back in time to try and kill off the last few mutants that have powers and Julian gets his hands blown off. Then he got mindfucked into thinking that he was in this war of attrition for three years and has nineteen years of repressed memories.
I detail all of this because by the sliding timescale I think all this happened in three months? At most? PROBABLY TWO?
ON THE UPSIDE, XAVIER AND MAGNETO ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE MUTANT KIND? SCOTT SUMMERS IS THEIR DOUCHELEADER? BONUSES?
But yeah, Julian is a messed up, traumatised ball of adolescent angst who flips between being someone who actually wants to get over his trauma and someone who just wants everyone to go the fuck away and leave him alone to sulk forever. He is rather skeptical that mutants and humans can live together in peace because they KEEP TRYING TO KILL HIM JFC, thinks that mutants are superior and clings to that in face of all trauma that he sustains as a result of being a mutant ... oh and he has an abandonment complex about how everyone leaves him and he's sick and tired of being the one left behind. MARVEL SURE WAS KIND TO HIM. he's actually gotten better in camp! Canon says that he's even more bitter and miserable.
Julian can't tell whether someone's reading him, because he's a psionic and not a telepath! That said, he's also savvy enough around telepaths to get their attention by thinking their name and yelling at them enough until they pay attention to him, despite being a telekinetic instead.
LOTS OF WORDS. I AM EXCITE.
ps come and live in our cabin Professor X, we have four babymutants. idek where Jubilee lives though.
no subject
So! Julian pretty much covered the recent history. Cessily hasn't been through all of that, and comes from a more hopeful point, but still. It has been pretty awful so poking around in her mind won't come up with happy mutant places. BUT. she will be so happy to see even an alternate Charles. So happy! I don't even. Please feel free to come and practice raising more babymutants in our cabin. That doesn't sound creepy at all.

Boyue is a massive bundle of inferiority complexes and rabid devotion to a lost cause, pretty much. He's basically thrown away his entire life trying to fulfill his ~duty~ and live up to the standards set by his old mentor. He's failing to do so. He blames himself for sucking. also blah blah one of the bloodiest periods of Chinese history, yada yada war is all he knows. Basically it's not a happy place in there.

Schuldig is a telepath, and a pretty damn powerful one too. His shields are really solid and strong and he has a habit of keeping them up all the time, if nothing else, just to keep most of the sound out so he doesn't go crazy. He doesn't mind communicating that way though, and frequently listens in on people because he's bored. He will DEF notice if someone is poking around his mind and would try to kick them out if he felt like it. And if telepathy had smells or scents, Schuldig's is cinnamon.
Jo is just very strong mentally, and would notice if someone tried to control/poke around her brain. She'd def try to resist/shove the offender out.
Eclipse is a pretty powerful telepath, but doesn't employ it too often. His shields are powerful and not too easy to break.
Earth would probably notice if someone came poking around, but he wouldn't do much about it. He has shields, but they're tired shields. He has other things to use his energy on.
Kakei is a precognitive! He has shields for the simple reason that he doesn't want others to see what he sees. He'd notice if someone was poking around and might or might not attempt to throw the invader out, depending.
Riddle might or might not have telepathic powers, but his mind is more like a cold, dead void of darkness and butterflies, and instead of shields, it's kind of easy to get lost in it. He would notice, and might even invite you for mental tea :|a
Rosiel has very powerful telepathic powers and can possess other people's bodies. If they have some of his matter on them, he can also alter their physical form while doing so. He'd notice someone invading and would throw them out, or possibly torture them or kill them either for fun or by annoyance. Better just not try to read him at all. It's not safe.
All the others, Kouichi, Chitose, Narushige, Ash & Kouyuu are fair game for anything! If there's anything special about their pasts that need to be noted, it'll probably come up as we thread. \o/

Layle and Dave Strider are perfectly ordinary human beings without any defenses against mental fuckery. Layle is mostly just thinking of how awesome he is and how boring his life is, but is far from stupid and in fact pretty well-read and learned and worldly. He's just kind of a douche. Dave is also kind of a douche, but is also pretty transparently a kid who is lost and has no real idea what to do with his life. Also, he probably knows who Professor X is from the comics. Yeah. That might be a slight shock.
Brook is a talking skeleton without a brain. I play him as being unable to be read by telepaths because really, he doesn't HAVE a brain to read. All his bodily functions work because of magic, and while it MAY be possible that if Professor X studied Brook and managed to understand how the magic energy that powers him works he COULD start to 'tune into Brook's station' so to speak... it's too much effort. Brook is pretty open about what he thinks anyway. He's a very happy person who loves groovy behaviour and groovy songs! Actually Brook and Charles should go boozing and partying one day because they would be amazing together.
Faust is, beyond being nine feet tall, also VERY crazy and broken. It's... it's hard to say if he's got any defenses against telepaths or not, because canon likes to allude that he has but never states outright. The explanation I'm going to give is as follows. Faust is not only capable of controlling his body on the cellular level and can as such scramble his own thoughts to make it difficult to read him, he may also have sorcerous counter-measures put inside his head to prevent people from reaching him. As such if Charles tries to read Faust, what he will get is a vague, scratchy static noise/sensation, followed by a VERY pissed doctor. Who can teleport. And track people NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE.
In short, don't try to mind-read Faust. Bad things will happen.
Finally... Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse has shields of pure light shielding his 'heart', which in Kingdom Hearts-ese probably includes his mind as well, and he will know if Charles is trying to mind-read him and try to push back, maybe politely tell him that it's not nice to peek and so on.

Jesse St. James is your average teenage boy. I think you're familiar with Glee now? So you know how he is! He is slightly less douchey, but most of the time, he's thinking about music or a song. He probably likes to mull over different arrangements in his head. Songs! Stuff!
Chris D'Amico / Red Mist . . . what you see is what you get, pretty much. Toudou Heisuke is almost the same, but there's this deep, deep depression that he is very slowly starting to pull himself out of.
THE BIG ONE is Elijah. He is a vampire who is centuries old, and probably over a thousand years old at the very least. Needless to say, he's always thinking and plotting and has centuries-worth of knowledge just floating around in his head that he picks through. And whatnot. He's pretty bitter and kind of sad beneath it all, too. THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOIN' ON. Vampire. Comes with the territory.

Nana is psychic, being a diclonius and all, but she's also telekinetic and most likely has no mental barriers whatsoever. Mind reading and telepathic conversation are blanket fine, please ask beforehand about anything else. It'll be a case by case basis.

Yui is a completely normal girl, save for the fact she's dead! She isn't the sort who hides her thoughts, she's pretty upfront about what she thinks and feel! She's an idiot full of energy \:D/ The only thing worth mentioning might be about her life, which is something she doesn't generally bring up, but doesn't exactly actively hide either. When she was alive she was paralyzed from the neck down and she spent most of her life watching tv and being taken care of by her mother, until she died young. There are still feelings of her feeling like she was a burden on her mother and so on, but she is mostly over how unfair her life is and ready to move on to her next life!
Sieg is also pretty unsubtle and just voices his thoughts. He isn't the sort to hide feelings, either. He's been through a war to SAVE THE WORLD!! and lead an army, but that's all, he's just a normal, optimistic kid.
Crow is my only non-human character. HE HAS THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, but he's a robot, so I'm leaving if Xavier would be able to read them or not up to you! But to sum things up he is like a kid who likes to grab attention in the most terrible ways. He likes annoying people so he can play with them, etc. Though he acts like a jerk he's actually a really nice kid. Anddd he also lost a good chunk of his memories, but what happened in the timeframe he doesn't remember is pretty much headcanon based on very little hints left in the game, so I won't go into it for now :Ba
Black*Star is a loud-mouthed idiot. He has no protection whatsoever! Surprisingly, he actually is the sort to hide his real feelings and thoughts and opts to look like a complete idiot (or a jerk, sometimes) at all times. While Black*Star always looks carefree and like he doesn't care about anything, he actually gives things a lot of thought, there are some things that can weight him down, etc. He's more mature than he lets people think! But yeah, for the most part, he really is a cheerful, loud-mouthed idiot.
Natalia is also pretty open about her thoughts and feelings! Her thoughts are mostly about how to change her nation for the better. SHE'S VERY VERY DETERMINED and definitely has a strong personality.
Vanessa expresses her love with yelling and slaps! She's very FIERCE and slapping is like saying hello for her.

He's also after his death in canon, if that makes a difference.
Kuja is a Genome. What exactly this means is never explained in canon, but I'd assume he'd read as being notably not human. He does also have some kind of minor telekinesis and something that looks like it might have been minor telepathy, so he might notice Charles poking around in there and will more then likely comment that it's not too polite. If he does keep poking, he'll turn up that the man who made him - and yes, he was made and deliberately given a soul (in contrast to most Genomes, who don't have souls) - to be an 'Angel of Death' and help Terra's revival process by ... causing wars so people would die, pretty much. He's gotten up to 'dark grey' on the sliding scale of morality in camp, which mostly means he's less likely to kill people for the hell of it.
He's also from after his canon death.
Tesla is, first and foremost, the historical Nikola Tesla. He's also a vampire, thanks to some well-applied science and the fact that he had vampiric ancestors somewhere back a ways in his family tree. What this basically means is that he doesn't age, is far more durable than the average person and has a healing factor that is really good. If you want further details on the things he's survived in canon, just ping in chan or at his journal. He also has an ability that acts as electrokinesis at touch range (if I ever canon update him, this will turn into electromagnetism). Biologically speaking, everything seems to run as per usual for a human he does seem to need to require blood. However, he's made a promise not to drink human blood and he has every intent to keep it (mostly because of who he made it to.)
As for mentally speaking, the man is a self-centered genius and tends to be thinking about science on a regular basis. His death was faked after he'd sold his death ray to every allied government in hopes that they'd share and peace would break out. He's also fluent in eight languages and if he catches on to the fact that Charles is poking, he might try thinking in another language to throw him off. Also, this woman (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/morjana/sanctuary/Amanda_Tapping.jpg) will likely figure prominently in his memories, as will this man (http://images.buddytv.com/usrimages/usr3698215/3698215_2c9c5b13-e913-4bd2-8ce4-b3d9b5e975ed-john-druitt-m.jpg).
He might also vaguely recognize Charles' name, since his canon fairly explicitly takes place in the real world, but I can't imagine he's really interested in comic-book type things.

Fenris, who is an amnesiac who remembers slightly less than half of his life. He's got 15-20 years of blocked-off memories in his head. I AM COOL WITH CHARLES SEEING THEM (and will give you a vague description of his pre-markings and post-markings life and the sort shit he went through as a slave in Tevinter if you want to do so) but Charles would hopefully also see that reading/influencing minds is EVIL BLOOD MAGIC where Fenris is from and that he wouldn't take being told that Charles saw inside his head very well. Haha. EDIT: also, Fenris isn't human. EDIT 2: also the turning people into puppets? NEVER TELL FENRIS ABOUT THIS HE WILL TRY TO KILL YOU. Again. Evil blood magic. The evillest. Haha.
EDIT 3: also idek if Charles could pick up on the fact that Fenris' tattoos are MADE OF MAGIC, but if he can - they are. Regardless, he could probably tell that Fenris lives constantly in the shadow of the memory of the pain caused when they were put on him (which is also his earliest remembered memory, about fifteen year back-ish). He's never felt a pain to equal it. The markings no longer physically hurt, but the mental shadow of the pain remains so strongly that he still feels it, even though there's no longer a physical cause.
SO CONSTANTLY IN PAIN.
no subject
Caeru has telepathic abilities mostly empathic, but doesn't really use them. He can share memories and emotions directly through sharing of breath (IE A KISS). He will respond mentally if prodded without much problems.
Shikamaru is a fucking walking computer bank of tactical strategies. This is not limited to just fighting -- he's constantly, constantly going through at least a half dozen options of "what will make my life the least bothersome". He works very hard at not being troubled by things. Ah, and it should be noted that he just went though a month of mental and physical torture with Hatter -- he'll be much more on alert mentally than usual, and probably not take well to probing.
Spitfire is open book. Genetically engineered blahblahblah you know his story.
Jack is open book. He's a fragment of soul who occasionally hangs out in the body of a 15 year old. Despite cheerful appareances, there's a hella lot of darkness in his memories.
Ping me for play times as often as you can :D

Leo has some kind of mental blocks! Canon has not specified what they are, but when someone tries to control his mind and body it basically does not work. His memories are also pretty blocked, probably? I am just going to say they are for now because I can't figure out canon. But basic mind-reading and talking to him in his mind still works just fine. Thinks about Elliot a lot...mostly about how much trouble he is.
Kurt/Nightcrawler knows a Professor X in his world! Said Professor is old and bald and like the Grandfather of the Institute. Kurt does not think he is perfect, but he respects his Professor greatly and holds him in very high esteem! Also the Professor is the one responsible for making his holowatch so that he can appear human. Because the Professor likes talking in their heads and poking around a lot, Kurt can kind of pick up on if his mind is being invaded. But if Charles is being subtle then it's unlikely that he will notice! Otherwise everything else is fair game. Although there will be So Much Judging of the young Professor X and his morally ambiguous ways. Also he's probably thinking about food all the time.

You're free to telepathy any of mine, none of them have any psychic shields of any kind, and in fact I encourage it because it will be all kinds of fun.
Dug is a 100% normal dog. He seems smarter than he is, because his collar translates his dog-thoughts into words humans can understand, but his mind is completely like a dog's and will probably be difficult to understand. The most common thoughts there are 'happy' and 'omg all the smells' and 'WANT FOOD'.
Bekku is a normal human, but she sees pretty clear visions of death when she looks in a mirror. These visions are completely true and will always happen unless someone makes an effort to stop them. Bekku has seen them all her life, but has only recently made an effort to save people. She also has a lot of Issues about her powers, since she has been alienated a lot for them. She also considers this (the visions + having to save people) her redemption for letting thousands of people die over the course of her life.
Other than that, she's a perfectly normal teenage girl who worries about normal things.
Mafuyu is a normal human who has no special powers whatsoever. However, she used to be a gang leader and is trying to re-shape herself to be a normal girl. She also has two alter-egos that she uses for crime-fighting when she can't be tied to what she's doing, and is very adept at fist-fighting. I mention this here because this is all SOOPER-SEEKRIT and if anyone knew about it she would freak out, so if Charles ever meets her he should totally talk to her about it :Db
Timothy actually has two voices in his head! One is his own, and one is a parasitic presence which is connected to the holy powers (called Innocence) he uses to fight evil monsters. Timothy is also a body-hopper, so it's entirely possible that Charles could come across Timothy when he's in someone else's body, or he could come across his body when only the Innocence is in there. Also, see the word 'parasitic' in there? Yeah, the Innocence is eating up a lot of his life force, and it stunts his growth and he will eventually die from it if he's not killed by something else first.
Beyond that, Timothy is a bundle of issues and is a total brat. His powers manifested when he was five, and he got drafted into a war against evil at nine. He tries to be a kid when he can, but he also has to act like an adult sometimes. Also he doesn't like older men, because he has daddy issues and distrusts older men.
Fujimoto is a human, but he has learned lots of interesting ways to kill demons. He's also kind of an ass in general, but he does respect people who deserve it. He's seen some pretty crazy shit by now and it would take forever to detail everything, so if you want anything specific when we're threading just ping me on irc and I'll give you stuff o/
Satoshi is human, but not human at the same time. He was born from the Earth itself, and he's supposed to stop anything that might end up destroying the world. He's also ridiculously overpowered. Canon states/shows that he has telekinesis, transformation into any living thing (even a zygote), a kind of latent telepathy of sorts (he can't talk to anyone, but he seems to be aware of when people are around him, and he can even tell people apart because they all 'feel' differently to him), super-fast regeneration, healing powers, flight, some kind of explosive power (he made bullets detonate within a gun), the ability to make plants grow, and the ability to create black holes. He also has a loooot of energy, and has only over-used his powers twice ever. He is pretty much the super-godmod-canon-Jesus-thingy.
But he's a super-nice guy who just wants to be friends with everyone and make everyone happy, and he doesn't like using most of his powers unless he absolutely has to, so he's not really a danger to anyone. Unless someone threatens his friends. He really gets mad when people do that.

You already know what the witches of the Discworld think about other people trying to control them mentally. Tiffany is very prickly about mental invasions and she can see/feel/sense people messing around in her head. She will tell anyone who is doing so to sod off--politely at first. She is probably more open to having a mental conversation than Cindy.
no subject
Impulse canonically gives telepaths headaches if they stay in his head too long because he thinks at a super fast rate, jumps around a lot in his thought process, and is basically really hard to talk to. But he has no mind shields and what he thinks he pretty much blurts out.
Ramona travels through people's heads as a shortcut on her delivery route, so she has been inside their dreams and kind of knows about how minds work in a weird way. That said, she has no barriers to her own mind and she--in a magnificent hypocritical fashion--gets super pissed off if people peek into hers (see icon). I think surface thoughts and regular chatter is okay, but going into her deepest desires will get a really creepy scene of her sitting at the feet of her ex-boyfriend and an uncomfortable glimpse at how messed up she is.

FOR THE RECORD, it never really comes up in canon but Cat is occasionally shown to be a little more clever than she acts, but I'd say it's about 95% legit, 5% she really likes attention.

That said, Thor's mind is a place of Incorruptible Pure Pureness (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IncorruptiblePurePureness), and 616 Chuck is one of the people who's vouched for that in canon. He's just touchy about what he sees as his integrity--physical and mental--being... well, being violated.
Ricochet is a mutant! But he's never been an X-Person and is not particularly fond of the group. I've essayed about why here (http://2nd-slinger.livejournal.com/8531.html) and here (http://2nd-slinger.livejournal.com/9831.html), but the short version stems from two reasons. First, he doesn't buy the idea that mutants need to band together apart from (or against!) the world in order to prove themselves to the world, as the X-Men do. And second, the most prominent X-Man of all, Wolverine, killed his best friend while under the influence of mind-control, and Rico's still a little hung up about that. So, sorry, Professor--you're gonna have a belligerent smart-ass on your hands instead of an eager recruit.
Mullin is just your average failtastic piece of cannon fodder wracked with self-doubt and borderline PTSD. Nothing special to report here, Prof.

Raidou himself has some ability to shield himself if he detects a mental intrusion.
Minako is relatively normal, but she does have twelve personae in her head at any given time; I'm not sure how that would read to a telepath. She is also [dead, and serves as the Great Seal preventing humanity's collective nihilism from allowing one eldritch abomination to summon another eldritch abomination to wipe out humanity].
Reid is also relatively normal, for certain highly idiosyncratic definitions of normal. I suspect the main issue for Xavier where Reid is concerned may be the sheer volume of information in his head, a not insignificant percentage of which revolves around grisly murders. I'm also sort of wondering if attempting to read Reid's mind while he's reading would give him some sort of psychic motion sickness.
...And belatedly, it occurs to me that attempting to talk to Reid telepathically is potentially a very bad idea given his family history, even if it is Charles Xavier (whom I'm assuming Reid has at least a passing familiarity with via the comics). He will not react well to disembodied voices in his head. Not that it wouldn't be interesting to play out at some point, but... idk.

Just going to detail the ones I'm most likely to tag you with for now.
Babs doesn't have any kind of mental enhancements aside from being a freaking genius - she has a photographic memory and knows just about everything of importance in the DCU, she's their main info-monger under the Oracle identity. Which she took on after the Joker shot her point-blank and she ended up in a wheelchair. Her mind is crazy organized and shiny, basically, but all that stuff is completely top secret - she knows Superman's name. And his address. And sends him Christmas cards. So she's probably going to install some cameras in his room. Bat-paranoia, sorry man.
Tony is IRON MAN, they come from the same-ish universe if not exactly, since it isn't clear how the X-Men are going to fit into the Marvel-movieverse? Anyway Xavier has probably heard of his dad, Howard Stark was big in WWII arms R&D. As for his mind, go ahead! Tony isn't super subtle; he's brilliant but his mind is probably very disorganized and moves fast, and is all machines and programs with a dash of self-destruction to make it interesting, but other than that it's pretty much what you get on the surface. So. Mutants and gods and superpowers are something Tony is somewhat aware of thanks to his government connections/Fury etc. but he hasn't really let it bother him much yet. We'll see how that changes when the Avengers comes out.
Alice is a vampire, and a very powerful precog. She doesn't operate in the same kind of time frame that most people do, it's always a skip or a leap ahead. On the other hand she is totally used to telepaths rummaging around and she actually misses her mental conversations and chess games with Edward, so she'll be very friendly. Oh, and if he does dig around a bit she doesn't remember anything prior to becoming a vampire thanks to some less than ideal mental health treatments in her last year as a human. She doesn't remember the trauma but the traces might still be there.
Finnick is a vanilla human but his mind is very different from his outward appearance. He's pretty much about one bad trigger away from a complete mental breakdown, since I took him from right before one in canon. He won a televised, government-mandated fight to the death among teenagers when he was 14 and has spent the last eight years blackmailed into being a very expensive prostitute. So, er, proceed with caution, although he's got some pretty iron control just to have kept himself from loosing it for this long.

Varric is a dwarf and in his canon, dwarves are highly resistant to psychic shenanigans. So I imagine it being rather difficult to pull off, and there being times when all attempts simply fail spectacularly.
Jessica is a vampire, and in her canon, telepaths can't read vampires' minds, so I don't believe Charles will have any luck either.
Nefer-Tina is also dead (I clearly have an RPing type) and kept alive purely by magic. There is essentially no canon on this, so I say she's affected as normal - she won't even notice any poking around. Nef is secretly quite a lonely person. But she never really felt like anyone appreciated her or understood her until she was reawakened in the 90s (she ran away from home at a young age and disguised herself as a boy, so of course they didn't), so most of her memories are of being pretty damned alone. She'll also vividly remember dying... but despite that in the back of her mind all the time, she is still a fairly reckless thrill seeker. Good times.

Eridan is from an alien race so violent the standard is to sleep in a mild hallucinogen to prevent their subconscious from permanently scarring them. Eridan himself is a nihilistic hypocritical egomaniac, and at the moment is mentally working his way through various generic plots to try and figure out how best to conquer camp. Oh, and he's a hopeless romantic from a culture where there is no concept of homosexuality, so he'll probably flirt with you. Towards either love or hate. On the plus side, no fancy mental shielding, although likely has some decent inherent resistance because of royal blood? Feel free to godmode past that.
Kanbaru has issues. She's good at keeping happy, but she's usually worrying about something (like the fact that she's got a demonic arm that might kill people while she's asleep and has done so in the past) or another to some varying degree behind it all. Also very easily succumbs to emotion and temptation. She's probably thinking something dirty right now.
Fluttershy is... usually too shy, funnily enough. She's often second guessing herself, she's a worrier, and her only safe real safe zone is either with good friends or loving wild animals. She tends to bottle frustration and anger, so unless directly threatening her friends the worst you'll get is mild deadpanning.

Dean - ... well, uh, his mind is Hell. Literally. It's been toned down, but it's not a pleasant place to poke around in. Huge guilt and anger issues.
Leto - it is impossible to read Leto's mind. There are countless of other people in it and reading it will... kill you.
Kirk - used to have issues connected to his father, his own self-esteem and his inability to amount to anything. He's better now, but it still underlies his own actions.
Yuri - is a vigilante who has trouble expressing himself and gets into trouble for it because he gets deadly when he's angry.
Haruki - will notice if you read his mind and he will destroy you if you try.
Stefan - is a 150 year old vampire who just lost everything to save his brother's life and is working for the oldest vampire in history.
Sherlock - oh god don't read his mind it's a black hole.
Lance - is actually an alien from Galaluna protecting the princess. He also has a self-loathing complex and believes that no one will ever be on his side.
Tyson - ... food, beyblade and kai. that's it.
Albert - thinks about his dead wife ALL THE TIME. Keeps trying to find ways to die or prove his humanity.

Also, I have taken her from after she gets crucified on the X-men's front lawn & then gets resurrected by Warren's healing blood. She's been taken off the X-roster, from what I remember, but she still considers herself an X-man. Though, she is still sad that Ev & Skin are dead 8(
EDITING THIS TO INCLUDE SOMETHING ABOUT JUBILEE'S POWERS. I am adding this in because I was reminded of that scene where Charles helped Erik turn that giant satellite around & though that Charles might want to work on Jubilee with her powers. So here goes: The intensity of Jubilee's powers depend on her emotional state. But she gets hamstrung by her own desire not the harm people. But Emma Frost said that Jubilee has an untapped ability to detonate matter on a sub-atomic scale. Similar to a fusion bomb.

Zoë Castillo has natural blocks to shield her mind. Pretty much impenetrable even when drugged and hooked up to a machine with that purpose in mind. She's also has some dream-based powers that can be further explained/wibbled on if it ever comes up.

Yuki is Promoted, making him a Queen instead of a Pawn like Ruka, which allows him to send visions and visit people's dreams while he himself is awake! He can tell when someone else is deliberately picking through his thoughts, and even if he can't shield you might get a nasty headache when he lashes out, and he WILL lash out. With few exceptions, Yuki does not trust other telepaths, especially ones that shield!
Of bonus specialness, he can hear AI/robots' thoughts in addition to humans', and is resistant to mind control as well as memory-wiping. BUT I FULLY ENCOURAGE GOING AND EXPLORING HIS MEMORIES. It will piss Yuki off to no end and might get you shanked by a King, but sharing flashbacks is like half of Yuki's powers' use in canon \:D/
Annnnnd it's up to you whether Yuki's hearing can get past his shields or not. di[e]ce is chess-themed and he's a Queen, so he is powerful! But his skills aren't much compared to other camp telepaths (he gets headaches sending visions, for example, and he can't really read minds), so idk how you want to handle his Queenliness.
Haku is an amnesiac dragon spirit with maybe a half-dozen or less years of memories. The others are locked away along with his name and as such are completely inaccessable without knowing his real name.

Itachi: Is a ninja with a bloodline limit which is vaguely similar to being a mutant I guess. The Sharingan gives him certain advantages (since it's one of those shounen super power things), and Itachi's Sharingan in particular seems to favor mental fuckery. He can create powerful illusions and change perceptions and control people's minds. He also seems to be able to share mental space with someone, particularly if eye contact is involved. As such, I tend to think he's able to give himself some basic mental shields in that he is aware enough of his own energy and that of others that he can tell if someone is trying too hard to poke around in his head. And his surface thoughts tend to stay pretty guarded because he's been in camp forever and knows there are telepaths around. Also, if he's out and about in camp, his Sharingan is almost always activated.
Uriel: Is an archangel who can and does communicate via telepathy because he has no vocal chords. He does have a device that allows him to talk normally, so he's not always using mental speak but he's willing and able to. And yeah, he'd probably know if a human was trying to poke around in his head.
Saitou: Is a normal human so he can probably be read pretty easily. His thoughts are usually about his duty, the Shinsengumi, Hijikata, Okita and possibly cats.
Blanket permission to mentally poke any of them, though. |Db

Tsukasa used to be the leader of a multidimensional terrorist organization called Dai-Shocker, but then he got amnesia, became a hero, got told to destroy all worlds because that was heroic, saved all the worlds, got told off for saving the worlds because that actually destroyed them, and then saved them all again? And he died, got his memory back, went evil, and got better somewhere in all of there, not necessarily in that order. Needless to say, his head (and canon) is a weird place. He's also kind of tsundere for the multiverse? He claims not to give a shit, then tries very hard to save it.
More importantly, his presence distorts worlds as they try to remove him. Normally, this isn't anything noticeable, but manifests in the fact that photos he takes are warped, and occasional distortions in the area immediately surrounding him. His canon has no mind-readers, so I have no idea if that would play havoc with Charles' abilities, but there you go.
Yellow is a Pokemon trainer. So yeah. She also has superpowers due to being born in the Viridian Forest. She can read minds, heal wounds, cause massive power-ups, and do minor telekinesis, but all of these except the telekinesis only work on Pokemon. She is mostly incredibly honest! What you see is what you get. She might notice you in her head, but won't mind!
Chiaki is a lazy teenage boy from modern times who also happens to be a samurai. And a power ranger. He's also capable of shielding himself, but he would have to use a magic kanji for it, so you'll have plenty of warning there.
Karkat is an alien from a culture that thinks murder is socially acceptable and has a caste system based on blood. Karkat himself is a mutant whose blood places him below the lowest caste! He is kind of pissy about this. He is a people person from a society that regards friendship as a disease, and is kind of really fucked up as a result. This blood also makes him extremely vulnerable to psychic powers! So do whatever you want.
He's also got a lot of Weird Time Shit in his brain, as he is a clone of himself sent back in time to become himself, and be cloned from that, etc. Charles may get a headache if he tries to figure out the timeline from Karkat's head.
Naruto has a demon fox in his headspace. Read at your own risk, as it will probably try to eat Charles as soon as he shows up in there. Other than that, he's a shonentard with no defenses against mental powers.
Sazh has no particular defenses! But he's got a pair of guns and a baby chocobo in his hair. Odds are he's thinking about his son at any given time.

That being said, he does have a bit of a resistance to getting commandeered. It's definitely not in any way impossible, but he might put up a struggle if it came up. Apparently, being dead and a former (though that former is NOT BY CHOICE) drug user makes mental influencing difficult, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?
Sam Evans is a normal teenage boy! No mental blocks, resistances, or strange quirks. He's (very, very slightly) smarter than he acts, but he's still just a giant, dorky derp who occasionally will think in fake alien languages (Na'vi, anyone?) and loves comic books. He might pick up on slight body image issues and, if Sam's trying to read, dyslexia, but other than that, nothing of note here.

Brianna at first seems very upfront and what-you-see-is-what-you-get when it comes to mind stuff, but actually she's covering up a lot of insecurity and fear. A lot of bad things have happened to her since she got her powers (being separated from her family, trapped under a giant dome, fighting other kids, nearly dying a few times) but the thing she's probably most resistant to talking about is something called "plastering," where she was forced to stick her hands into wet concrete until it hardened into a block and then left tied up outside for a couple weeks with a bunch of other mutant kids until they were all starving to death. FUN. Anyway, she has no mental blocks or resistance to mindreading, so do whatever you want with her, basically, but she won't like having her thoughts read, especially thoughts of things she doesn't like talking about.
Sophie-Anne is a vampire and telepaths cannot read her. /o/

just doing Supey right now. He has issues with mind reading because for the 16 weeks he was in Cadmus, he was fed information about the outside world by telepathic creatures called G-gnomes. Then the G-gnomes controlled him and made him attack the people who were trying to rescue him. Oh, and then one time his mind was erased of 6 months worth of memories and given the fact he wasn't even ALIVE six months at that point, he reverted back to base instinct. Even now, if he finds out that Charles has been reading his mind, he will not like it at all. He's on the same team as a telepath, but I figure that so long as it's not known that someone was in his mind, he'll be alright...?
Now that that is out of the way, Supey is very much what you see is what you get. He doesn't hide his emotions all that well and his thoughts aren't that complex.

Right. So it's a little late but. Rogue does not like people going in her head AT ALL. She totally bitches Jean out for it when it happens on accident even though Jean's powers were out of whack and she couldn't really help it. BUT she is totally ok with the Professor going in her head and talking to her and stuff because she trusts him. So once she finds out who you are she will basically give you blanket permission. It is just because you are a stranger right now [a stranger who kinda reminds her of the professor except he seems totally different so there's no way it could be him] that she freaked out.
Now on to the actual thoughts Rogue has:
So she does not remember anything before the age of four (including her bio parents), but canon never says its for any supernatural reasons so I think she just forget them. Or maybe repressed them who knows. She has super mommy issues, thanks to Mystique. And has a whole lot of trauma thanks to her powers. There is like this swirling black hole of hate for her powers and isolated feelings at not being able to touch people without hurting them and a huge fear that she might accidentally hurt one of her friends and what might happen if she held on too long. Also the Professor was helping her work on her control so expect that.
A story:
So there was this one time she went to this school dance and this boy asked her to dance and she was like sure whatever. Except this boy had stupid friends who thought hey lets push these two together. Except the boy ended up just falling on top of Rogue and when he tried to help her up she knocked him out and put him in a coma for three days. And then things got really confusing with Mystique making her think the X-men were trying to kill her, eventually leading to her joining the Brotherhood. :|b Which she is kinda ashamed of but she was totally tricked into it, and that's why she is automatically distrustful of people going in her head. She is also has angry feelings about being manipulated into doing things because that happens to her A LOT (and not all of it is because of her being mind-controlled. Thanks Mommy.)
So basically, Rogue has Mommy-issues, power/control-issues, issues with manipulation, and issues with people going in her head. She does not have shields and would not notice you going in there unless you do something obvious like making a comment on a thought or something. (Or using her name when she hasn't told you it.)
Oh wait I haven't even mentioned the psyches yet. They are there, but kinda in the back of her head and canon is unhelpfully vague about what exactly they are. So I am just playing them as these things that are there with vague floaty feelings in her head. They might get angry or not at people rooting around her head (but since there are only two I wouldn't worry about that one). She also has Gambit and Leech's memories floating around her head, but not in as much detail as when she had freshly absorbed them. They were her memories for a brief time, so some of them stick and she still has some of them, but not as much as the actual person does. If that makes sense. I figure the more time that passes the more she forgets their memories as well. Gambit's memories would just be skeevy thief things and Magneto shenanigans and Leeches are just normal kid memories with a little bit of having an overprotective mother and fear of being a mutant.

Jay's a mutant, obviously! He comes from a small town where mutants are rrreally frowned up, which was a part of why his girlfriend's (Julia) dad got pissed enough to uh, shoot a big hole in him and temporarily kill him whiiiiich led to him waking up at the bottom of a pond with his girlfriend's body just chilling there holding him because she was so upset that she killed herself to be with him. Right after he brought her body up, he tried to kill himself repeatedly so that he could join her in death, but lol healing factor made that impossible! This was a cause of great trauma and he still thinks about Julia constantly. He got sent to Xavier's partly in order to help him move on from this event. His roommate was murdered shortly after he arrived, so that was good times, too. After all this happytime, he doesn't usually want to die now, and he's been moving on and making friends, but sometimes when he's epic upset, it comes up in his thoughts.
He also thinks about his family a lot! He's got ten brothers and sisters including one newly adopted one, and his older brother and sister are both mutants/X-Men. Two of his younger siblings were mutants as well, but got depowered after M-Day, however!
And I guess that's the last part, Jay is from after M-Day, which means knowing that there are very few mutants left in the world is also something that weighs on his mind a lot.
I think that's it tl;dr Jay's life is hard and nobody understands weh weh.

SO, Julian covered recent events pretty well, so I won't do that again.
Despite appearances, Victor is PRETTY MESSED UP mentally. He's super PTSD-y, coming from watching his friends be blown up, being dragged into hell, mutilated, the constant fighting and then having Cyclops be like LOL JK NO MORE X-MEN GO HOME where he tried to go back to normal except he totally almost killed his dad for dropping a coffee cup (http://skinofalizard.livejournal.com/1782.html#cutid1) which made him run away from home. Then Danielle Moonstar convinced him to join the X-Men in San Francisco, where he watched his good friend Dust turn to glass and then come back from the dead.
HE'S MELLOWED A BIT thanks to helping Jonas Greymalkin deal with his own PTSD, and his BFF Santo forcing him to be an awesome superhero, but he's still kind of shaken and jaded about things.
Similar to Julian he knows to get mind-reader attention by thinking about them really loudly. Unlike Julian he also kind of just assumes that if he's around a mind-reader, they're currently active inside his head, because see above re: jaded about the X-Man thing.
