Solas

**Solas** is the name of a God with a close association with humanity and the primary sponsor for the Institute. In modern times, Solas is one of the few genuine gods who continues to interact and support with humans on Earth, providing assistance to prevent magical calamities from taking place.

## History

-despite his current earnest desire to help humans, it was Tristan Samson and the founding members of the Institute who managed to trick Solas into assisting them in safeguarding Earth. In the early days he would provide the barest amount of support with an attitude, but would gradually find his own purpose.

## Appearance

As a god, he doesn't have any particular "true" appearance, rather taking on the physical form of whatever he wishes. Initially, in his contact with the Institute he would appear as whatever random human he picked, but it soon became too confusing to everyone he met. He has instead set for himself the body of a Western European male, average height, black hair, and hazel eyes. The only other times he contacts individuals is in the form of a black cat, a rook, or through a Foci that is more often than not used to channel fragments of his power.

## Personality

When he was first encountered by Tristan Samson and his group, Solas was largely aloof and didn't care much about the Earth humans visiting his world, but was willing to extend greetings a proper shelter to them. However, after striking a bargin and being tricked by the humans in assisting Earth and its inhabitants, Solas became displeased but abidded by his word.

Working with the newly founded Institute, Solas followed his word, but only did the very basic amount that he required, often acting antagonistic towards Director Samson but never to be point of going back on his word. Overtime as he continued to see the lives of humans pass by and what they wished for, he slowly shifted into assisting humans willingly and extended his deal with Tristan that instead of a human's lifespan, it was when Solas decided to end the arrangement.

while a god, he tries his best to be understanding, empathetic and friendly to humans. he believes in keeping ones trust and loyalty and ones word when given. even when he notices a loophole, he doesn't exploit it as he keeps to the word of an agreement and the spirit, only taking action when one party breaks their word and the deal.

he is reluctant to end the lives of humans, whom he pities due to the short lives they have and the lack of an afterlife for Earth-borne humans. Which is one of the leading catalysts for him supporting the revelation of magic in hopes of humans using magic and gaining formal souls so they can attain an afterlife.

he doesn't mind when people insult, belittle, or even attack him as very little creatures, including the most powerful of humans, can do any form of permanent damage on him and is willing to forgive any affront. In regards to humans, he is aware of their understandable arrogance and likelihood of their belief in his inferiority due to lack of Earth worship or mention in mythology. The only times he will hold a grudge is against those who knows who and what he is but still willing to pick a fight with him personally, particularly Demons of the Infernal Hells and those like them.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Creation**: Solas was able to create the 'Seven Hunters' by arranging emotion into a physical form, fusing immaterial and material into a living organism that would serve his will. They each have different forms and powers that depend on their purpose in his service. Each of his Lords wield great power, even in comparison to the entities worshipped and revered on Earth. He has made several spells on behalf of the Institute by turning concepts into spells, such as Geas which is the concept of a Deal and Punishment. He has also made items and equipment that are in use by the Institute should the need arise and he is unable to assist in anyway, nor his own servants.
