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:

Color: Gold like his eyes.
Glow: The ordinary glow of any mortal. He doesn't shine particularly brightly, he's only human after all.
Notable characteristic: As far as souls go, it's pretty ordinary, except there are definitely small cracks here and there, akin to someone who is maybe involved in things that aren't good for the soul.
Physical Characteristics: Is he a bird or a man? Yes. Hawks' physical structure as a person is not entirely human, if the wings didn't give that away. At least, not what would be typical for humans. All the way down to the fact he has bird-like bones that allow him to take flight, there's more traits than he lets on.
