Visibility and Malevolence Permissions
Laphicet is part of a spiritual race known as malakhim. In canon, he is invisible to most people. However, they can see the effects that he makes on the environment, such as his when he uses his spells or moves objects around. It might look like something is floating.
As of 2018/03/18, Hathaway has upgraded Laphicet's jewelcomm to allow him to be visible to everyone. However, it also has a function for him to manually return himself to his usual, invisible state (if your character doesn't possess innate spiritual talent, anyway.)
He's very likely to remain corporeal at most times now. But I'll be sure to note in threads when he does revert back to his invisible self, which will probably be during missions where he finds it beneficial. So feel free to use the notes below as a guideline!
➼ Who can see Laphicet (while in his invisible state)?
- He can be fully perceived by those who possess high resonance, spiritual sense, affinity to the supernatural
- Animals, monsters
➼ My character doesn't have spiritual sense. How can my character build up the ability to perceive him?
- Building up character relations with him
- Communicating with him through magitek. He can be heard through audio and video by everyone.
- The more time you spend with him, the more likely they'll eventually be able to see him.
It can be a gradual change, first starting off with hearing him, then being able to see him
Feel free to ask me any questions! I'm also very flexible with how I'm working this mechanic into the game.
Secondly, Laphicet is able to sense malevolence. Malevolence is impure emotions which can be feelings such as hatred, despair, greed, conceit, obsession, lust, cowardice, selfishness, etc. It's a powerful toxin to malakhim, seen from their eyes as dark energy emanating from the being's body.
While with Hathaway, he will be using his magitek as a vessel to protect himself and heavily dampen the effects of malevolence. However, he can still sense the negative energy to some degree.
➼ Can Laphicet sense malevolence in your character? He's most likely to pay it some mind if the negative emotions are in an overwhelming state. If not, it's also perfectly acceptable to say that your character is concealing their negative emotions well enough.
➼ If yes, what kind of negative emotions can he sense? How severe are these emotions? He won't be able to clearly distinguish the emotion, but it's possible he might try to make some sort of inference.
Minor update: I revised the second question a little bit, so I might be replying and asking for some extra information!
