Emet-Selch's Soul Sight

So Emet-Selch is special in that he can see people's souls! He can view them in such a distinct way that oddities to them, even down to their specific hues, are discernible to him! With that said, I would humbly ask for you to fill out this lil bit of info about your character's soul (or lack thereof) so that I know what he might be seeing when he views them.

In Emet-Selch's canon some of the main characteristics of souls are impacted by how much aether (life energy) they have within them, seemingly immortal beings that are god-like adjacent lifeforms tend to have a "signal flare" like light to their soul. Where as something more mortal and fragile by comparison is described as sickly in its glow, like a guttering candle ready to blow out at any moment. There's evidence to suggest that eye color might be linked to the color of the soul (eyes are windows to the souls etc etc), but nothing is fully confirmed and it's left utterly speculative.

That said, other worlds and realities might follow different rules, so feel free to draw your own conclusions on the colors and whatnot! It will give Emet-Selch something to ponder on all the same!

Fill this out please with character name in the subject line:

Custodian

[personal profile] lastonetodie 2025-06-28 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Color: Pale blue with a white core, like a white dwarf star.

Glow: it's complicated As a technical immortal, the glow of the Custodian's soul is steady and bright with no flickering, though on the dim side. He was built to last, and that's evident in the makeup of his soul.

Notable characteristic: A sense of diminishing, like his soul could have been brighter and larger once and this relatively small pinprick is what's left after it was drained away somehow. There's a distorted crack in it due to his contact with what's basically an eldritch abomination but like...don't worry about it he's fine.

Physical Characteristics: He's a very complicated robot made of metal and plastics and he's physically built to channel/run on literal star power. I think that's all the relevant information as far as components go.
