Description: Soul is a red-haired teenager with a lithe build, though he does stand at five foot nine with an appropriate weight to match it. That’s to say the boy is far from muscular, but he isn’t scrawny by some miracle, but that doesn’t mean he’s a joke in the physical department. His most noticeable physical trait would be his fiery red hair which is short, with the exception of his bangs, and messy. Next would be his amber eyes which some may say are shaped like an almond.

When it comes to clothes, Soul turns to one particular outfit that he has don in some manner throughout his life. Consider it his signature look if you will, one that’s rarely altered and so is consistent. For starters, he wears a multicolored shirt with a picture of what appears to be a god, it starts off as yellow and slowly descends into a reddish orange colour. Thrown over that is a black jacket with a gold collar. Black pants secured to his waist by a red rope is paired with the shirt and black shoe. Black wrist bands with a golden band finishes of the look.

PERSONALITY

Personality: Soul has proven himself to be quite the nuisance in Roncello, the boy pulling an embarrassing amount of pranks on the unsuspecting populace that has left a few people wishing to wring his neck. He has also proven himself a responsible person, having watched over small children, care for his grandmother, and even maintained a job in order to support himself and his grandmother. As to what you receive when asking about this boy, the responses can definitely vary as seen above, but the most typical description would be of a friendly, fun loving boy that liked to see other people smile even if it was at the expense of another person. He’s confident in just about everything he does, but he isn’t cocky. He’s, after all, a surprisingly humble guy, though he isn’t the sort of person to downplay his role in things.

Though, he’s also a boy who has taken it upon himself to support his family upon the death of his mother. He has stolen in the past, but that was so he and his grandmother didn’t go hungry and he begun doing honest work when he was old enough to be trusted and since then he has shown himself to be a hardworking fellow.
Motivations: Soul’s primary motivation is his grandmother, the woman he has tasked himself with caring for since his mother passed away. This is to say that some of his actions are in some way connected to helping the elderly woman.
Fears: Soul, of course, fears losing the only piece of family he has left and that would be his grandmother. He also fears disappointing the woman.

He also fears not getting out of the class he was born into. He moved to Ulassai because there weren’t many opportunities to earn money in his previous home and so, it would be a shame if he were unable to secure himself a steady source of income.

HISTORY

History: Soul, what an odd name to give to a child, one that would, without a doubt, make him the butt of many jokes, but a name the new single mother, Irene, gave to her son nonetheless. Born in the city known as Roncello, he wasn’t born into the most advantageous position. His family which consisted of his mother, grandmother, and himself weren’t poverty stricken, but they also weren’t that well off. His father? Some man that his mother had a one night stand with according to her, though in actuality she never told her lover that she was pregnant. Either way, Soul’s father would not be present in his life.

Despite their circumstances, his mother and grandmother did their best to provide for the boy even if that meant they went hungry. The smile on his face was enough to fill their hearts with joy and so, it was only natural that the two women strove to maintain it. Because of his mother’s wishes to shield him from the truth of their circumstances, Soul grew up unaware of their dire situation. He interacted with the local children, harassed the farmers, and pulled pranks on the unsuspecting citizens of Roncello. He was a happy child, one that hardly took anything seriously and fiercely protective of the two women in his life.

That’s until he turned eleven. It was a little after his eleventh birthday when his mother became ill. Though his mother tried to ensure him she was alright, he did not believe her for her appearance said otherwise. Yet, for her, he pretended to believe her until he couldn’t, his mother eventually becoming bedridden. He watched as she deteriorated before his eyes, her condition becoming worse with each passing day until she could no longer hold on. She passed away.

With only his grandmother left, Soul took it upon himself to care for the elderly woman. Too young to work the fields, he resorted to stealing during the chaos caused by his pranks. If his grandmother asked where he got the food, he would lie and say a kind neighbor gave it to him. She would be disappointed in him if he were to tell the truth and so, he kept it to himself. His thievery would continue for the next three years, the boy finding someone who would pay him to care for their children whilst they were out in the fields for a decent amount of money at the age of fourteen. It was a job he maintained for two years, giving it up in favour of working the field which he did for the next two years.

Now eighteen with a decent amount of money saved, Soul felt old enough to leave his home in search of better work. Not wanting to leave his grandmother in Roncello alone, he convinced her to travel to the city of Ulassai. There they would settle in an apartment which is where his story begins.
