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.

There are a number of exceptions to the rules, of course. 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)

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/

<b>Name</b>: <b>Character & Journal</b>: <b>Species</b>: <b>What's their resonance like?</b> Basically how/why they'd see or hear Mikleo, if it isn't immediately obvious from their species.

ALSO ALSO BECAUSE I AM A FORGETFUL LOSER- Mikleo has the same ability to sense malevolence as Sorey, but I neglected to include this on his permissions. So if you can fill out Sorey's permissions as well, it would help us both out!

Name: Rachel
Character & Journal: Hermione Granger (brainiest)
Species: Human
What's their resonance like? Hermione is a witch and she is super used to ghosts and all kinds of magical creatures! She's also spent the last three years in a magical world where connecting with spirits and that sort of thing was not exactly common but more common than most and she's always been particularly advanced for her nature. She might not see him entirely at first but she might pick up quicker than most - and be deadly curious about it!

Character & Journal: Solas (dirth)
Species: Elf
What's their resonance like? Solas is pretty much king of the "I love spirits, look how cool spirits are, I love them wow" club in Dragon Age! He spends a lot of time talking to them, some of his best (and only) friends are spirits that he speaks to through Dreams and in the Fade and the closest thing he has to family is the spirit of Compassion currently known as Cole. I don't think he'd have any trouble communicating with Mikleo!

lmao I definitely think that Solas and Mikleo would have interesting CR. Spirit nerds FTW. though they may disagree somewhat on the topic of humans

[dirth]

they will absolutely disagree on humans and apparently solas is going to ping sorey as a huge almost-dragon with his malevolence too so this is going to be amazing c:

[nerdeology]

Mikleo actually has the same malevolence-sensing ability (it's due to the seraphim Sorey is connected to that he even has the power) so that'll be. Interesting. Yes.

Really regretting not adding that in Mikleo's permission post now lmao

GOTTA UPDATE THIS WITH THE NEWBIES

Character & Journal: Lauralae (fuga)
Species: Elf / Revenant
What's their resonance like? Lauralae is more than used to spirits and all kinds of strange, living-but-not living things in her own world; she talks to trees and most people think she's incredibly weird. She's possessed by a spirit herself, thanks to her 'curse' (she read a book cursed with the spirit of a Revenant, was possessed by it, died and came back as a Revenant thanks to her God) and she's fairly good with most things, so she will probably notice him! Not that she'll be entirely interested unless he's showing off.

Character & Journal: Raven Darkholme (athru)
Species: Human / mutant
What's their resonance like? ZILCH. She's just your regular person and she has no real connection with anything at all; she probably won't be able to see or hear Mikleo.
