Permissions re: Khaji Da's scanning abilities

Canonically, Khaji (the alien weapon which gives Jaime all his powers, in case you hadn't met) is capable of knowing a lot about the people around Jaime. And he happens to be very much inclined to surveillance, due to his infiltrator nature. He's known to detect metahumans, energy signatures, magical abilities (though that one is a little iffy for him), and mundane stuff like health status (for example, being able to tell when someone's newly pregnant). Additionally, if someone has touched Jaime, then the scarab can track that person across the globe any time after; since he uses their DNA to track, he can even find someone who is related to them.

While it would be in-character for Khaji to inspect those within Jaime's vicinity out of protectiveness and general self-preservative interest, I do not want to abuse this. In addition to Jaime telling the scarab to respect strangers' privacy, I usually go with Khaji being unable to accurately scan other characters due to their being from different universes (or Loki-related interference; it's canon that the gods are too powerful for Khaji to figure out or fight).

That said, if there's anything you're OK with Khaji picking up from your character, please say so here!
It can be anything from "No, he can't scan any of this stuff" to "when he scans [character], he gets white noise" to "he can pick up on vague mystical power" or "He can monitor mundane health status, there's nothing else going on."
If you'd note whether or not it's OK for Khaji to track your character down using their DNA too, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

ps. If your character can sense unusual powers and/or technology, we can hash out how Jaime/Khaji pings that here as well.

The only thing he might notice about Rikku is his dresspheres, magitek things that hold magical weapons/outfits/armor that he keeps on him at all times.

I would be alright with Khaji knowing about Terezi's biological makeup (him being a troll, how his blood color affects his lifespan, how he's blind and his other senses compensate for it, etc.). His powers would probably come out as vague white noise or "he can see the future" without too many details, though. His powers came from a force more powerful than Gods, so it would be reasonable for him to not know too many details about it, I think.

He can notice anything you'd like about Noah! Noah's in good health mostly except for smoking and eating a bit too much junk, and he can manipulate heat and fire. He's also immune to heat and fire. Tracking him down via DNA is cool too!

He can scan Alec all he wants though what he gets will probably be on the erratic side, constantly shifting on who and what he "pings" as. And he can ping as anything. Despite keeping his same physical form and not visible changing in anyway.

Feel free to notice anything at all about Rome. I'd imagine making sense of him might be a bit of a trick, but that's entirely your call, and I imagine that at the very least he would read as not-entirely-human. There might be something vaguely familiar about the guy, considering that at his canon point Egypt is one of his provinces (and his wife, whoops).
