Just wanted to give a shout out to any healthcare workers on the guild. You guys are way braver than I am, especially those of you going in even with health issues. Thank you so, so, so much.

Good :) Made the trek through the wilderness to uni for exams lol, you?
@Ever Fair enough - I could definitely see them getting to be quite good friends, and definitely fun to write them together :D, although I could see opinions about Daedalus a possible point of friction, she probably would understand why he felt that way because it seems like she's probably seen lots of different reactions from people, and might understand that it's just a coping mechanism
@Ever He really feels for people who struggle to communicate, because he's always been pretty open - more to do with how he was raised than anything else. I figure he'd have quite an amplified read on her than most people because her ability involves active projection - although it might be interesting if she can exert her ability on him without speech because of it (although that would probably depend on how her ability works). Although she probably wouldn't take advantage of that too much? (I don't know) It'd probably be quite difficult for him to be around her though due to the intensity of her emotions - he feels things pretty deeply and sometimes gets really overloaded - but he'd think it was worth it if they became genuine friends and he thought he was helping her in terms of communication.
@TheGrundlesnart Yeah, he's not really the 'violent or manipulative' type
@GingerBoi123 Oooh, interesting suggestion 
Kieran's abilities, at their core, essentially work because his implants detect chemical signals, physiological changes, and he is really good at understanding body language/subtle hints (not in a conscious, Sherlock kind of way, it's all subconscious). As long as your guy is still producing some kind of chemicals (which I'm assuming he does, seeing as that's what brains run on), then he'd probably get some kind of read. It might be muffled due to the titanium though, although Kieran wouldn't necessarily realise why it was muffled - and this would probably make him prettt curious about Jason, because as much as he appreciates being able to understand people better, he kind of misses figuring people out the old fashioned way - he's naturally a pretty curious person.

Okay, had a little think about relations with my character - hopefully I didn't miss anybody!
@TheGrundlesnartCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling The Dog would probably be pretty cautious around Kieran, especially given that Kieran, whilst well intentioned, has a few psychological issues that might seem pretty off putting and put him in the camp of having 'more erratic test subject behaviors'. Kieran would probably try to get close to him at first, maybe offering to help with communication, but he knows when to back off.
@Ever Actually kind of curious on how our characters' powers might interact - do you have any thoughts?
@Hellion If Max could get over the invasiveness of Kieran's ability (and his problem with ocassionally forgetting he has it) he'd definitely try to make an effort to get to know her - although I think the ability would be a pretty significant issue for her given how guarded she is and that he'd see right through all the defenses she has up, and he would be unlikely to push too much if she makes it clear she doesn't want anything to do with him.
@GingerBoi123 I think our characters would probably get on reasonably well? Jason might appreciate that Kieran isn't automatically scared of him and is willing to get try and be a friend to him, and I think Kieran would probably appreciate the fact that he seems relatively stable - a bit of an island of calm with all the emotional turmoil going on around him (unless I've got him completely wrong, in which case I apologise) Although, if like you said earlier, Deadalus got them to fight for kicks (probably particularly nasty individuals) this could add some interesting complications to their relationship
@thedman Kieran and Jared might get on reasonably well. Kieran would realise that Jared uses humour as a defense mechanism, but I don't think he'd try to push unless it seemed like he really wanted to talk about something but didn't feel like he could. I think Kieran would appreciate his optimism, as whilst he tries to remain cheerful and optimistic on the outside, he gets quite down a lot of the time, and doesn't really have a lot of hope for the future. I think they would probably clash quite a bit on the Deadalus corp issue, because Kieran's got some pretty messed up views about individuals who work for Deadalus (it's kind of difficult to hate someone when you know what they're feeling and really want to try and understand them like Kieran does - so he internally rationalises what they do, saying 'it's just their job', or 'they had to do this to somebody, I'm glad it was me and not someone else.')
@Naive1 Kieran would probably try and be friendly towards Olivia, particularly as she seems shy and withdrawn (he's one of those extraverts who likes to try and 'draw people out of their shell' lol), although I'm not sure how she'd feel about him, I get the feeling she might feel a little intimidated if he comes on too strong.

Tbh, doesn't sound much worse than ambiguously named green' smoothies
Also, 'training' would very heavily depend on the subject. Olivia would have little more than gene therapy to try and balance out the drawbacks she has and add more to what she could do. All in all training would involve improving their strengths and trying to lessen the weaknesses. Not ALL subjects would get combat training, makes no sense. Such training would be reserved for subjects showing such capabilities with their powers, and being loyal enough to 'control'
Combat training for Kieran -
Kieran: "It's okay, we don't have to fight if you don't want-"
