Thanks to in-game development, Solomon can see souls!

He can't (yet) see details that explicitly impact people; ie he can't see someone's deep, dark secret. His ability to distinguish actual in-process patterns is in the works, and even though there are things he can see, he doesn't always understand their causes/impacts.

Primarily, how his sight works is no different to noticing someone's physical description, except that a person's soul doesn't lie, so he'll be able to see major scars/missing bits, and things like that. So far he's documented differences between things like:

- species/cultural upbringing (ie kedan are family-orientated, but can shapeshift, which gives them a unique 'soulprint' human family-oriented cultures wouldn't have)
- some kinds of emotions, particularly strong ones
- lingering scars vs actual missing bits.

SO if you have a description of your character's soul, please let me know here! If there's something that would show up but you'd rather he not see details for at any time, even after his sight progresses, also let me know! Souls are wibbly-wobbly things and it's easy for details to be lost.

(NOTE because Am: No need to actually use the above dash-points as a guideline for how to describe your character's soul. Unless you want to, in which case go ahead.)

Valdis' soul would appear as a shining crystal orb with thousands of visible cracks in its surface. Another interesting part would be the barrier that surrounds the soul and separates it from the Void. Very strong emotions are woven through the barrier; love, the desire to protect, and a deep sorrow tinged with anger. The Void is a dark and shadowy mass that encircles the barrier. As of this moment there is a clear space between the Void and the barrier, showing that the Void is not actively trying to pentrate or break the barrier. As Sol's abilities grow stronger, he might be able to sense that there are tiny fragments missing from the surface of Valdis' soul.

Because Valdis' soul plane is in a state of flux, these details may change in the future.
