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: Katara
Species: Human
What's their resonance like? I MEAN. She's a bender, so she's tied in closely with the elements, specifically she's a waterbender so... there's that. On top of that, there's her time in Luceti where she developed a close bond with three spirits and she definitely believes in the spirits in her world... plus there's that whole Painted Lady thing where she both impersonated a spirit and then had the spirit show up to thank her, so... she's... gonna be in the middle, I bet, the high end of the middle. So I think she should be able to hear him and see an outline of him by like... convo three or four.
Would they have malevolence? Okay, so... for malevolence, I think she would have a little, honestly. All the killing she had to do in Luceti, all the self-doubt for not being able to help her friends/the helplessness, and the resigning herself to use bloodbending has left her with some spiritual scarring. Also, she's yet to fully resolve the bit with her mom being murdered, so there's that. And of course, being very, very angry at the Malnosso and Cultists might leave a bit of a mark too. But overall, Katara is a Good Person (tm), or at least she tries very hard to be and is someone who is genuinely full of compassion, so play with this as you will?
