Malakhim Permissions and Visibility.

[laodicean]

In canon, only people with a higher level of what is called resonance, like a spiritual sense, can see/hear seraphim/malakhim in Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria. This will follow through in Laphicet's time in Empatheias. What does this mean? Well, certain characters will be able to see/hear him just fine.

- Laphicet is aligned with Peromei, so any characters under that same alignment will see and hear him just fine!
- If a character isn't human, they will be able to see and hear him as well.
- There's also the option of building up the ability to see/hear Laphicet through gaining cr with him.
- Human characters with a particular affinity for spiritual power could potentially see/hear him and the other seraphim as well.

Basically, I'm using the same sort of rules that the Zestiria seraphim have been going with in determining who can see/hear Laphicet. If you have any questions, just let me know and I can figure an answer on whether a character could see/hear him.

Sorry for the delay on our thread! Also, I'm thinking maybe Vincent can hear but not see him? I think he falls in the last category, unless spiritual power means something religious.^^;

No rush! And no, it doesn't need to be religious in the sense of having a spiritual power. It could be the matter in more supernatural than religious and it could still work in whether or not humans could see/hear malakhim/seraphim.

I can double check if others in the Zestiria/Berseria cast are also familiar with Pandora Hearts? But imo from what I recall (it has been a while! But I do have an Oz account.) that sounds about right to me since I know Vincent in particular has his Thing going on.

Ah, 'supernatural' was the word I was looking for. I'm not sure how far you got with PH and don't want to spoil you, but Vincent definitely has an affinity towards the supernatural, even more so than some of the PH characters heavily involved in the plotline. But since he's so young in the canon point I took him from, we'll just go with him hearing but not seeing then. Thank you very much!^_^

Yeah! I have read all of it, it has just been a while since it finished and I haven't yet managed to do a reread (plus only having the first volume officially yet). But I think that could work! Vincent is not the only one who can hear them but not see them.
