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.

I should probably do this btw. Yuri will just read as a normal human. Even though she's dead, pretty much everything's the same. The only differences are that in her world, you can't die again (you'll just regenerate from any injuries after a given amount of time) and you can't get sick. In Luceti, that's limited to just minor injuries healing. Maybe there would be slightly different heat signatures in locations that are in the process of healing? Idk that part's up to you.
