Thermal Reading

[tellmejohn]

Scorpius is a character who is not above torture and murder and all that good stuff, but when it comes to that I will play it by ear and talk with you the same way I would with any of my other characters, so this permissions post is not about that. (Additionally, Scorpius will not be doing much of that in Luceti in all likelihood).

This is about one of his other abilities, which he uses as a "lie detector" of sorts: Scorpius is able to see peoples internal heat and note the changes in it. He is able to distinguish species and/or unique heritages based on people's different baselines, and determine changes in mood, nerves, or other things based on fluctuations. Because it's basically thermal imaging it could do other neat things too, do comment here if your character would have some not-human body heat going on or if there's anything else you want to tell me in that ballpark.

Helios is going to come up on his radar as super cold. So, yeah, he's probably going to look weird to Scorpius because human with no body?! But there might be slight peaks in his body temperature when he's fluster/embarrassed but nothing too significant or noticeable given that his condition is purely supernatural.
