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.

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/



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: Kalyn
Character & Journal: Yuri Kozukata, this journal!
Species: Human
What's their resonance like? I figure with Yuri's spiritual power she'd be able to see him and all right off the bat? It's implied she's always had the ability and a high amount of spiritual power, it just didn't manifest itself until her accident traumatized her enough to spark it lmao. Because Fatal Frame is nothing without its trauma.

She's also probably surrounded by negative energy/malevolence. She lived at the base of a mountain infamous for its suicides, so all the spirits she encountered were twisted and tainted by the malevolence on the mountain from the ritual meant to seal back the "tainted" waters failing hundreds of years prior. She's also witnessed/"relived" a good number of suicides and murders due to her ability, and is also canonly still on the fence about whether or not she should die herself or not.

So, you know......fun stuff.................
