Resonance Permissions
Mikleo 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 hear seraphim in canon are:
For Drift Fleet 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 crew members he has who don't fall in the above categories, for example, ought to start hearing him after a couple of months. Visibility follows some time after.
Mikleo will never be visible in photos or on the communicator, but his voice will always work on it regardless of resonance.
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. /o/
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!

Those who can see and hear seraphim in canon are:
- Animals (or those with animal senses or instincts)
- Spiritual or supernatural beings
- Monsters
- Humans with exceptionally high spiritual resonance (those who can naturally see ghosts or spirits, those who can 'sense' the weird stuff)

Character & Journal: Ben Douglass,
Species: Human
What's their resonance like? Ben is straight up human despite the metal parts and comes from a "normal" future world so his resonance is at a solid zero.
Would they have malevolence? He absolutely is full of anger and self-loathing and guilt. A lot of the guilt stems from having to depend on people when he's otherwise an incredibly independent person, and a lot of anger directed towards himself and the way his life has swerved from his original plans. He isn't a bad person though, so a lot of his malevolence would stem from his anger and guilt.
