Description
Soren, the Imperfect.
Soren has quite the troubled past, though despite everything he's been through, he's never been one to lose his cool when times get rough. He remains stoic in the face of tragedy, and always strives to be better than who he was yesterday. He's not one to act cocky, or rude, just neutral at all times. It takes alot to break his composure and "Spirit,".
Favorite Area: Luma Pools
Ability: Conjuring
Soren was born with the power to conjure almost anything, from halberds, to grapples, to throwing daggers and spears, not much was out of his grasp. The downside to this power was that he could only use a limited amount of light per day to conjure said items, with the amount of light he had per day being completely random. Sometimes he could have an extra-ordinary amount of light for the day, allowing him to scale mountains and slay large beasts with little resistance, but other days, have no light to use what-so-ever. He had found that on average, the healthier and happier he was, the higher chance he has of having a high amount of light for that day. Over time, he had built this ability to always have some amount of light no matter what, even if all he could conjure was a simple halberd or sword. On rare occasions, whatever he attempts to conjure has the potential to malfunction completely, bursting upon use. Once more, he found the more healthier he is, the lower the potential for potential failure.
Preferred weapon: None. Jack of all trades, Master of none
Story:
A lone spirit born some time after the events of Will of the Wisps. Thanks to a cut his blade suffered along the journey past Niwen, he was born with several imperfections, the cuts on his feathers, purple tints all throughout his body, and the inability to properly communicate with his tree of Origin, hence the title, "The Imperfect,". He could sense that something was calling to him, but never would be able to determine what exactly it was.
When he first sprouted from Ori, he had drifted far past the charted lands of Niwen, leaving him all alone to fight and survive. Naturally, he had grown up to become impressively adept when it comes to survival and combat. Though one day, while he was still quite young, learning to survive, he had sustained a permanent scar to his left ear. From that day forward, he had learned to never lower his guard out in the wilderness. This inevitably exhausted him to the point he had almost lost all ability to convey emotion, leaving him completely stoic for the foreseeable future.
One day, whilst settling down after a triumphant hunt, Rai had found him all alone. Even in the darkness of the woods surrounding them, Soren had already noticed Rai and wasted no time, pouncing on him. Even Rai was almost subdued by Soren, despite his impressive speed compared to other spirits. After a short bout, Rai had convinced Soren that he meant no harm, expressing his shock to have found another spirit outside of Niwen. After the altercation, the two sat down and had a chat over some meat Soren had cooking. After some time, Soren had grown to appreciate and adore their conversations. For the first time in a while, He had finally known how it felt to not be lonely. He was happy. An emotion he had never felt before. From that day on, the two had became "Bros," vowing to each other that they would do whatever it takes to keep one another safe, no matter what. After the two had finished their conversation, Rai offered to lead Soren back to Niwen, a safe place where he could meet other spirits like Rai. Soren was instantly hooked with the proposal that he could meet more people like him. Without hesitation, Soren had agreed.
Once they had arrived, the first thing that was in order that Rai had in mind was bringing him to a spirit well. Noticing all of his scars, he thought to see if they could do something about it. After teaching Soren how to use the spirit well, Soren had felt incredibly rejuvenated, the best he had felt in his life. Though unfortunately, his scars were left un-healed, he still had been able to recover from his bruises from his duel with Rai. The next thing the two had done, was investigate the strange feeling that Soren had, that since grown stronger once he stepped into Niwen. It had grown so storng, that he could finally sense where it was coming from. Following his senses, it lead him straight to the tree he had sprouted from, Ori himself. Upon touching the tree, the two had finally been brought back together, with Ori praising him for how he was able to survive without his guidance for so long. Afterwards, his link back to the tree was restored, though still unable to heal his scars. It didn't matter. Soren had almost grown fond of his injuries and imperfections, almost prideful. He didn't care. Once finished, Rai had decided to tour Soren around Niwen for a while. After his tour, Soren had grown very fond of Luma Pools, and its luscious eco-system, discovering a great interest in swimming and aquatic life.
From that day forth, Soren had never felt alone ever again. He had even made it a routine to meditate at the tree everyday to clear his mind and pay respects to Ori. He had hoped for one day where he could see him in his original spirit form. One day, So he could finally shake his hand with his creator, and pay the respects he feels Ori truly deserves.
