FOR HADO Is body reading allowed? Generally, yes. I will endeavor to put his readable intentions in tags. She probably CAN tell that his general expression is usually the opposite of what he feels - he smiles when he's angry or upset, he looks bored or contemptuous when he's pleased, etc. It's not even out of an active intent to deceive, really, just very long-standing habit. He's not always insincere, though. Is there anything Cass should NOT be able to see? OTOH, I do think in his case he might be able to fool her occasionally if he actively tries; he's 2000+ years old and he's been ruthlessly training/repressing/controlling his own reactions for all of that time. When he acts in a certain way/character, he never slips. Are you okay with that? Is there anything you would PREFER she not see? Nothing super specific comes to mind. She can definitely know that he's way older than he looks, less callous than he acts (or realizes himself), has been tortured a lot, and isn't particularly combat-trained. If your character wears some kind of disguise or costume, could Cass recognize them? IT WOULD DEPEND ON CIRCUMSTANCES we can discuss thing if it comes up Anything else to add? he's a god and doesn't know it, I have no idea how that effects things O_O
FOR ERIDAN
Is body reading allowed? YEP TOTALLY Is there anything Cass should NOT be able to see? I think maybe she could occasionally misread him because he's an alien??? but then again he's also totally an open book emotions-wise so it's up to you Is there anything you would PREFER she not see? nope, go ahead If your character wears some kind of disguise or costume, could Cass recognize them? lol yes, but he's the only grey skinned orange horned alien so I don't think that's really an issue Anything else to add? some of his primary driving emotions - wanting to get back to his moirail and kismesis - are about relationships that don't really have clear human parallels, but I'm fine with explaining anything you need! If he goes too long without sleeping in a sedative solution called sopor, he's going to have day terrors awful nightmares and be extra twitchy. In his society violence is much more common and for a lot more purposes than in among humans - fighting is a way of communicating for them on a lot of levels. So he might intend to swing at somebody but not have at all the same level of hostility behind it. LASTLY he is super creeped out by being around so many adults, that's not a thing that's supposed to happen in his worldview.
