Emet-Selch's Soul Sight

[untsundered]

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:
<b>Color:</b> this could be linked to an element affinity, eye color, vibe, whatever! <b>Glow:</b> typically reflective in terms of natural mortality/magical capability/etc weaker glow is more mortal, stronger glow is more godly/immortal species. For example, while mutants from x-men might get wild and crazy powers, they are still technically mortals/humans in this classification and so their souls would likely be reflective of that (barring any crazy god stuff that happens later in life, looking at YOU Jean Grey), but someone like Thor would likely have a very brilliant soul due to the nature of what he is. <b>Notable characteristic:</b> Some souls are corrupt or damaged or broken or split in half (maybe split into 14), things happen! Anything worth noting that Emet-Selch might see, please mention it here! <b>Physical Characteristics:</b> Emet-Selch is also able to discern things about *people and objects* with his sight, seeing the very basic building blocks of what they are comprised of. So, if there is anything special you would like for him to notice about your character, like if part of them is made of stone, or metal on the inside, then let me know here!

Color: Red red red red reddy red red

Glow: Seems typical to a normal mortal glow, but oddly persistent--as if when viewed from any angle, distance, or obstruction its light would still be seen exactly as brightly.

Notable characteristic: Despite Frisk (and Chara) having no obvious ill effects from bearing it, on close inspection the SOUL is both alien to them and somehow artificial, its construction evoking both computer code and angelic wings. What at first might seem like a hole is more accurately a plug--a point of contact and control, though not one he would be able to manipulate (even if he were so inclined, which I assume he isn't at this point in time).

Physical Characteristics: Chara's presence in Frisk is probably fairly obvious, though to him it would likely read more like two minds than a ghost haunting? Both of them have a direct connection to the SOUL, though, and if they ever fought for control he would be able to watch the baby slapfight. So that's something!
