He usually wears a mask that is split down the middle, orange on the left and yellow on the right. His hair is brown. Under his mask, his eyes are black.

## Personality

The Sun King was a misguided leader who tried to join the world together under one rule, slowly becoming a tyrant as time went on. However, he realized the wickedness of the power of Absolution after Absolution tried to convince him to destroy Soma with his power. After being dethroned by Form and Dissonance, the Sun King tried to correct his mistakes and strove to be a better person.

## Background

The Sun King was a boy named Bright, who would go on adventures with his friends Rozen and Silvio. After getting separated from them within The Forest, he meets and befriends Elder Oakley. He then uncovers Absolution from where Mason had been hiding him. Absolution tricks Bright into keeping him by promising him that he will help Bright never lose anyone ever again. Later, he and his friends explored an abandoned manor, which he and Absolution chose to become their citadel. Over time, he builds a kingdom using the power of Absolution, with Rozen and Silvio going on adventures with him to bring the other locations of Soma under his rule.

After Bright begins to doubt Absolution's power, he leaves to ask Oakley for guidance. While away, Form and Dissonance appear to the people of the Kingdom and convince them to rebel against the throne. Bright returns to his kingdom to help fight off the rebellion. He realizes that the power that Absolution holds is the cause of the fighting, and turns against him in order to stop him. During the battle, Absolution kills Rozen and Silvio. Using his power, Bright reincarnates them into the first spirits, Heart and Soul. Bright then uses Absolution's power to break absolution into pieces so that no one could misuse his power ever again.
