Resonance Permissions
Feb. 13th, 2023 09:07 pmMikleo is a seraph, a spiritual being that resembles a human but cannot be seen, heard, or touched by humans without a sufficient level of resonance. Resonance basically means their level of instinctive or spiritual power, depending on species.
Most people cannot interact with seraphim, and go about their lives without even noticing them. To combat this, his ability to manifest (which is normally limited to mirrors with enough focus) has been boosted. So he's, you know, playable.
Those who can see and/or hear seraphim in canon are:
For roleplaying purposes, anyone's resonance with Mikleo will increase the more they are around him, eventually making it so he can be at first heard, and then seen. Whichever CR he has who don't fall in the above categories, for example, ought to start hearing him within a couple of weeks or months depending on how much they interact. Visibility follows sometime after.
Mikleo will never be visible in photos or on the communicator, but his voice will always work on it regardless of resonance.
In Songerein, dreamotion can be used to sense Mikleo's presence, give him a visible 'shape', or boost resonance to see or hear him faster. The degree to which it can help is up to the person using it, and I'm happy to roll with whatever you prefer. It can be fun to play with the communication limits! I had a blast with it in prior games. But I will never dictate a) how strong your character's magic or spiritual senses are or b) what counts as a fun thread for you. Pick what works best for you!
To help me out, please let me know on this post if Mikleo is able to interact with your character in person! And if you're not sure, we can sort it out here.
ALSO ALSO- Mikleo has the same ability to sense malevolence as Sorey. So if you can fill out Sorey's permissions as well, it would help us both out!
Thank you!!
