Prasanva

Sanvith Prasanva Maahik va Sila, more commonly known as Shri Prasanva or simply Prasanva, and operating under the alias TwinSoul as a member of the Ghostbloods, is an aetherbound of Silajana.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He looks like an octogenarian man with liver-spotted deep tan skin, and he wears a short powder-white beard with long mustaches. By , Prasanva is quite old, but he still stands tall, not the least bit bowed by age. He is a little unsteady on his feet however, often gripping nearby objects to steady himself. His age has also taken a toll on his eyes, and he often uses glasses when reading something. One of Prasanva’s palms contains a spot of roseite, the flesh and muscles being completely replaced, making his bones visible. As a member of the Ghostbloods, Prasanva has a tattoo of three interlocking diamonds somewhere on his body. During his time in Bilming, Prasanva dressed in a suit, following Bilming’s fashion trends. He also wears the clothing of his home planet however, such as a loose fitting uniform, which includes a bright yellow sash wrapped around his waist.
He is a kindly man who remains so even to those who reject his offers, such as remaining amicable with Marasi Colms after she turns down his offer to join the Ghostbloods and insisting that she doesn’t get harmed despite what she has learned about them. Prasanva also likes seeing people uphold their personal codes. He hates not being able to see someone’s face, due to for example a mask like those worn by the Southern Scadrians. When Prasanva is in deep thought, he tends to play with his mustaches. He is also an extremely polite man, and an excellent mathemetician. He also enjoys showing off his abilities. Like all Ghostbloods, Prasanva follows their three basic tenets, keeping their knowledge hidden from outsiders, protecting Scadrial and trusting eachother.
He worships the aethers, giving his worship to Silajana in particular, seeing him (and all the other aethers) as being equals to Adonalsium, even predating them. He will openly preach his faith to others, which even requires that he give his enemies a chance to repent before fighting them.
== Attributes & Abilities ==
As an aetherbound of Silajana, Prasanva can use roseite to create constructs. He has used it to make spectacles, a pen (which he needs separate ink for), a three-dimensional map, several simple items, and a twelve-foot tall suit of armor while being fueled by purified Dor. He cannot use it to make guns, as he doesn't understand their mechanics. On planets without certain fields of Investiture, like Scadrial, he can only make constructs that connect to him; if contact is broken, the construct crumbles to a fine powder, and then vanishes into mist. Forming the constructs also takes water from his body.
He also sometimes carries a slightly curved sword inside a golden sheath, although it is unknown how familiar he is in its use. When he is out on a mission, he often wears a backpack full of water, which he needs to fuel his abilities.
== History ==
He once lived on Dhatri, where he bonded to the Aether Silajana. He was apparently in a high position of authority, being the Raj of the Coriander Court and Grand aetherbound of the twelve kingdoms, though what exactly this entails is not yet known. At some point, the planet was struck by a entity known as the dark aether, and he was sent into exile by Silajana for his safety. He eventually joined the Ghostbloods in an attempt to gather allies and resources to help fight against the dark aether and save his people. 
During , Prasanva was working in Bilming, trying to unravel Autonomy’s plans. After Moonlight and Marasi entered the Ghostbloods’ hideout, Moonlight asked Kaise to fetch him, indicating that they would need him for some calculations. After seeing Marasi, he greeted her, immediately fetching some tea and snacks for her. Moonlight asked him to use a list of underground explosions and the hotspots of enemy activity they’d been monitoring to find a likely entry point to the caverns. He did so, finding three buildings they could use. After realising that the Set had every incentive to launch their bomb as quickly as possible, TwinSoul suggested speaking to Kelsier, which they promptly did.
Kelsier tasked TwinSoul, along with Marasi and Moonlight, to stop the Set’s plans, giving them the command for the Ghostbloods’ stores of purified Dor. TwinSoul quickly changed outfits, changing from a suit in Bilming fashion to a loose fitting uniform with a bright yellow sash around his waist. He also strapped on a slightly curved sword and grabbed a backpack full of water, which he needs to fuel his abilities. Before going out in public however, Prasanva shrouded himself in a local fisherman’s raincloak. While travelling to their incursion point by train, Marasi questioned Prasanva about his abilities and their limits, and he shared a lot of information about what he could and couldn’t do. They also brainstormed plans to get inside the caverns, settling on using one of Moonlight’s stamps to enter the building. 
After entering, they found a room with a projector inside, after activating it, the three were surprised to find a moving image of a ruined Elendel. After seeing a painted and handcrafted model of the ruined city, Marasi realised that the projector created an image meant to support a Hoax of sorts. The three of them made their way into the caverns, climbing down an elevator shaft using a ladder created by TwinSoul. At the bottom of the shaft they found two soldiers, who they managed to trap in a speed bubble made by Cadmium, allowing them to slip past undetected. Dodging patrols, they moved further down into the tunnel complex, encountering a room with multiple Set scientists and soldiers, including Gave Entrone, and captives inside. They witnessed a scientist making a Hemalurgic spike without killing the victim, and after overhearing that the captives in the room were to be killed, Marasi decided that she would help them. Although Prasanva disagreed, he decided to help Marasi nonetheless, and during the following fight, he got captured in a slowness bubble made by Marasi’s allomantic grenade. After the effect had worn out, the others filled him in on what had happened, mainly that Marasi was forced to fire her rifle to save Moonlight, blowing their cover. Shortly after, the three of them freed the captives and made their way back into the tunnels. They were quickly spotted by the Set’s soldiers however, and TwinSoul asked Moonlight for a jar of Dor.
TwinSoul first made them cover, growing his roseite into a wall. He wasn’t done yet though, and made himself a large roseite construct. Prasanva gave the soldiers a chance to surrender, but after seeing that they refused, he charged down the corridor. With him at its heart, the juggernaut pushed its way through the soldiers, smashing men left and right with a roseite mace. Prasanva took the captives and made his way outside of the complex, freeing them. 
After making it out, he likely returned to the Ghostbloods’ hideout. Shortly after the Set’s defeat and Kelsier’s arrival to Elendel, Prasanva offered to induct Marasi into the Ghostbloods, and to act as her mentor. Marasi turned down his offer to join but still offered her help to find the missing Moonlight; it is unknown whether he accepted her help.
== Relationships ==
=== Silajana ===
Prasanva worships the aethers, including Silajana. He believes them to predate Adonalsium and exist outside of his power. He also has a more personal relationship with Silajana, being one of his aetherbound. Silajana can talk directly into his mind, and often does, aiding him in making decisions and during his missions. Prasanva is incredibly respectful to Silajana, which is rooted in his belief that Silajana is a god. He also views himself as an agent for Silajana, and considers Silajana’s praise to be of the highest worth.
=== Ghostbloods ===
==== Kelsier ====
Prasanva has a good relationship with Kelsier. Kelsier considers him an old friend. Prasanva also addresses him as my Lord, and has a lot of respect for him. Kelsier in turn likes Prasanva a lot as well, and he is respectful to Silajana. Prasanva joined Kelsier for the opportunity to gain allies and resources for his eventual fight against the dark aether.
==== Moonlight ====
Prasanva also really likes Moonlight. They have gone on multiple missions together, such as stopping Autonomy in Bilming. Prasanva also often jokes with Moonlight, and he finds her wisecracks to be extraordinary. After Moonlight changed into an Elantrian, TwinSoul decided to try and restore her previous personality. She also offered to help him get back to his homeworld of Dhatri, but he rejected her offer, stating that it was too dangerous.
==== Other Ghostbloods ====
Prasanva has also got a fine relationship with the other members of the Scadrian Ghostbloods. He likes Kaise, and worked with her during his time in Bilming. He doesn’t like Dlavil much though, as he disagrees with the man’s brutality and hates not being able to get a read on the man’s facial expressions. He also dislikes Iyatil, viewing her as running amok on Roshar.
=== Marasi ===
Though Prasanva didn’t know Marasi for very long, he grew fond of her. He enjoyed showing off his abilities as an aetherbound to her. They also went on a mission together. Marasi, despite liking him a lot, believed him to be a little fragile. Although finding it sad that she didn’t accept his offer of membership, Prasanva found it remarkable, as he likes seeing people uphold their personal codes, and argued against killing her because she’d seen their secrets. Marasi also offered her help with restoring Moonlight to her previous personality, but it is unknown if he accepted. Prasanva was, if Marasi had accepted his offer, going to be her mentor.
