Soot Silvane

== Soot Silvane ==
Soot Silvane is an mortal angel in the form of an arctic fox. Unaware of his past, he woke up in a desert and began traveling in search of recourses. During these travels, he lost a life, contracted a mysterious illness and gained a fascination and infatuation with magical artefacts.
== History ==
===== Waking Up =====
Soot’s history is hazy and broken up, he himself knows very little about his own history, only that he woke up in a desert, laying in sand, afraid. He travelled through the world for a long time, without ever seeing another person. Every day he fought for survival, and was beginning to lose the battle.
===== First Death =====
During his travels, Soot fought against a hoard of zombies, after running for what felt like hours, he was cornered in a forest and bitten, he escaped, but was now infected. After a few days, his skin started to become thinner, and flaked off slowly, his vision started to fade and the light began to burn through his skin. After five days, Soot died, and woke up in a desert, terrified.
===== The Mysterious Illness =====
Soot contracted a mysterious illness, one that caused his fur to turn black, and his eyes to fade into purple. This illness caused him to become weak and slow, as well as causing him to feel incredible pain when in contact with water. As he continued to travel, the illness began slowly killing him, he realised this, and after his previous experiences, he was afraid, very afraid, he began desperately searching for a cure.
===== The "Cure" =====
Eventually, Soot came across the ruins of a strange town, he searched for any resources that could help him in his travels, or any food that could keep him from starving, while looking through an particularly broken down temple, a broken piece of stone fell on him, he wasn’t able to dodge in time, and the stone broke his arm, he passed out from the pain and woke to see a mysterious shimmering tome lying beside him in a pile or rubble, he didn’t know why, but he felt the need to read the book at all costs.
He was unable to move the stone on his arm, he reached for the book, barely able to reach it with his one free arm, he opened the tome, his eyes were too blurry to read, but he could make out a faint golden glow from the book, there was a bright flash, and he woke up a day later, he was laying in the rubble, the stone no longer on his arm, and now, he felt stronger, his arm was no longer broken, his illness was mostly cured, he thought it was just a dream, until he saw the book. The book was now blank, and no longer shimmering, but some part of him could still feel it’s power.
After leaving the ruins, he began his search for more artefacts, believing that they are the only thing that could protect him from the dangers of the world.
==== Finding Help ====
After many months of traveling, Soot found a town, and was accepted into it, Soot now lives in a small house in the city of Kazkaya.
==== Assassin Of The Night ====
During his time as a citizen of Kazkaya, Soot became paranoid, growing concern for the safety of his new home... He set up countless secret methods of transportation around the city, and eventually took on a new persona, completely abandoning the scared kit he use to be, in favour of becoming what he thought was needed more, he hid his face with a mask, and became an assassin.
==== History (Unknown to Him) ====
==== Birth ====
Soot is an Angel of an unknown God, he was born in the Nether, and travelled to the Overworld via an unknown event, he hibernated under the sands of a desert for many years, before finally waking as an adult, with no memories of where he came from or why he was there.
==== The Bite ====
Soot survived being bitten for so long due to the holy blood in his veins, the only thing that kept him alive for so long.
The book in the ruined town that healed Soot was not a holy relic or artefact, but was the Holy Book of the Unknown God that Soot is an Angel of, healing him was the final act of the Unknown God before their death.
== Physiology ==
Soot is a Mortal Angel, banished into mortal form at birth as an act of mercy before the death of the Unknown God. Soot’s form takes the appearance of an anthropomorphic Arctic Fox. Due to the Unknown God being dead, Soot gains no powers from being an Angel, but this fact does change his physiology in strange ways. Soot’s blood is a thick red mist rather than a liquid, direct eye contact with Soot causes him to feel a minor headache. Due to the Mysterious Illness, Soot’s fur is no longer white, but is now dark grey with patches of a slightly lighter grey scattered throughout, he has glowing purple eyes and has multiple scars all over his body. Soot wears mostly black clothes, a black button up shirt with a grass block logo on it that was purchased from an Enderman during his travels, he also has a strap of coloured vials on his right leg, but according to him, these are just coloured water.
== Psychology ==
Soot is a loyal person who is unafraid to fight for what he believes in, but cares little for those he has no loyalty towards. Soot is incredibly skilled in strategy, but chooses to avoid combat if possible, preferring to rely on stealth or manipulation to suit his needs.
Soot values power for the sake of protection and out of fear, and he is willing to do most anything for the power to protect himself and those he is loyal towards, this includes the murder of innocents and the theft of artefacts of power, however he will never betray his friends even if it means his own death.
Soot is incredibly unstable due to his past, his mental health is incredibly fragile and his sanity is hanging by a thread, this is shown by him randomly laughing while speaking, and refusing to take certain actions at random times, which can lead to him doing incredibly dangerous actions for no apparent reason.
Due to his loss of a canon life at the hands of zombies, Soot has an immense fear of zombies, but also an immense hatred of them, this combination with his “insanity” caused him to shift between escaping at all cost, and burning them to ash.
Soot's biggest flaw is that he is too fast to trust people, he spent most of his life far from any people, he has little had little to no contact with people, meaning that betrayal is a new concept to him.
