Light/Darkness Sensing Permissions
So one of the things Xigbar is capable of doing in sensing the amount of light and/or darkness in people's hearts, and he retains this ability on the Barge. More information can be found over here at his permissions post, but for the sake of being thorough, a brief explanation:
A heart - sometimes referred to as a Heart, in order to make things less confusing - is the emotional core of person, and - together with memories/will - is responsible for making a person who they are. With a few notable exceptions, Light and Darkness are represented in each heart, in varying amounts. If someone tends to feel positive emotions (love, compassion, kindness, etc) that registers as Light, while negative emotions (jealousy, anger, fear, hatred, etc) register as Darkness. There's a little bit of wiggle room in that the lines do blur somewhat - especially for personality traits that don't have an emotional component - but generally speaking, what matters is the nature of someone's disposition. For example, someone who puts on a cheerful front but who has a nasty disposition underneath that front will still read as predominantly dark-aligned; the reverse would also be true.
As things currently stand on the Barge, Xigbar can't do anything more than use this to get a general sense of what to expect from people, but if this is something you want to play (or not!) with just drop me a line here using the form below.

Can Xigbar sense the Light/Darkness in your character's heart: Yes/No
If yes, what will he be able to see? Does their heart skew dark or light? For what reason? Is there anything else notable he might be able to pick up?

If yes, what will he be able to see? Prompto's heart skews light, because he is dumbly optimistic with extremely little malicious intent (and that's only under extreme duress). He has an excess of compassion and is generally very friendly, with no ulterior motives. Any darkness would be linked to very deep-rooted insecurity, which results in a fear of abandonment, but it's kinda outweighed by the rest of him.
