Hey, anon! They can also use telepathy among themselves or on non-Myods (though non-Myods would have to respond verbally, lacking the ability).
Hey, anon! It’s usually apparent from a young age whether a Myod will have the ability. Those with records of the ability in their ancestry can keep an eye out for signs that it’s emerged in their child(ren), but the most obvious sign (to Myods) is usually characterized by an abnormal ‘energy signature,’ for lack of a better term. If you remember the brief mention of Myodic Force in the racial primer, every Myod has a unique presence or aura detectable by other Myods, sort of like how we each have our own unique scent. In normal circumstances, it’s comparable to a dull buzz and largely fades into the background after initial detection, though the most erratic signatures have induced physical symptoms such as headache and nausea (no such Myods exist in the current timeline). Othello’s feels sort of like a steady pulsing, but it isn’t unpleasant for others.
Hi, squeakyraffe!
Myods don’t really have any food aversions, barring individual food allergies, but it isn’t uncommon for them to develop allergies to certain metals, so they tend to avoid wearing metal jewelry or getting piercings as a result. Othello says a little something on the former here.
