Soul Perception Post

[aboutwhynot]

So Stein has this crazy little ability called "Soul Perception." Basically, he can look at a person's soul with it.

At the surface level (when he's not actively concentrating it) he can sense other souls around her buzzing and moving and such, and it works almost like infared vision would, where everyone's kind of just a blob. When he is actively concentrating, he's able to see detail! The color, the shape and surface traits of that person's personality is the basics of it, including if a person is a more evil sort.

Souls show up like so to him.

Besides having cute little faces and personality traits, souls also have color. The color depends on the person, obviously, and though purple and red souls are indicators of witches and kishin (or kishin eggs) respectively, it's entirely possible that humans can have those colors too, it'll just make him insta-suspicious.

That's about all for the background info on this, now onto the permissions part:

<b>Does your character have a soul?</b> [If yes, move onto the next question. If no, well this is embarrassing and I am sorry for wasting your time. I suck] <b>Can Stein use Soul Perception on your character if he feels the need to?</b> [Straightforward enough, if Stein sees your character out in public or is in close proximity to them, would he be able to sense what's up with their soul.] [NOTE FOR NON-HUMAN CHARACTERS: Human souls are very distinct from non-human souls, so if your character is a shinigami and so on, he would be able to pick up on that.] <b>What would be the most prominent traits of your character's soul?</b> [I.E. goofball, secretive, malicious and so on. Feel free to include the color, otherwise I'll just pick one for you. The size is also relevant; they're usually about the size of a softball, but if your character has a bunch of "supernatural" type abilities, it will be bigger. Sometimes much bigger (see icon)] <b>If a malignant soul, would it have a physical effect on Stein?</b> [Usually he gets unsettled when he senses an evil soul, but if they have a soul that emits a lot of insanity, that would usually make him go a little loopy at the least.] <b>Can Stein keep a trace on your character's soul once he's sensed it?</b> [This is to make sure they stay out of trouble, whether because he's concerned about them or he thinks they're trouble themselves. He can't actually keep the "trace" pinned on them at all times, though, just when he wants to feel where they are and actively concentrating.]

Does your character have a soul? Yes

Can Stein use Soul Perception on your character if he feels the need to? Sure thing!

What would be the most prominent traits of your character's soul? Blue, normal in size since his only supernatural ability is his MANGRIT. He does have untapped potential as the Heir of Light though, if that would have any effect. Brutally Honest, quiet, determined, caring, stubborn, with hints of silliness and loneliness

Also of note: he's a doomed alternate of John Egbert, so in the event that we ever get an OU John, there would likely be some very obvious core similarities between Jolal and John's souls.

If a malignant soul, would it have a physical effect on Stein? Naahhh, as much as he loves creepy stuff and horror movies, he's not evil.

Can Stein keep a trace on your character's soul once he's sensed it? Go right ahead!
