History
SoYa is the eldest son of ZenToYa, older brother to TsuYa and Promised to AsaHi. Before the coming of the Arweinydd, SoYa would have been next in the line to become the High Guide of Nefol.
He spent his whole life in Nefol as an Apprentice and teacher to the young incoming students, professing that his key powers lay in his meager knowledge of the Healing Arts. Often considered to be the weaker of Zento’s two sons by the populace in Nefol, he was regarded with pity and disappointment by the very people that he would eventually have to lead.
In truth, SoYa was concealing his real powers, that of the Athrylith, for fear that he would be hunted down by the School for possessing dangerous Mind Magics. Upon his journey to Ceiswyr, this terrible secret was revealed and SoYa found himself struggling to come to terms with the people closest to him as they were forced to recognize him for what he really is.
Character
Though SoYa is a gentle and sensitive individual, much of the shyness that existed due to the need to hide his Athrylith abilities has faded as he has grown to take on leadership roles under his father’s example. His Athrylith powers give him a connection to the emotions of those around him, and the training he’s undertaken has helped him to learn how to use these abilities to a far greater potential than he was able to before.
Dedicated to helping others around him, he has spent his life teaching the younger students in Nefol and supporting his family – TsuYa and SaRa. He is completely devoted to his Promised, AsaHi. He also has hope and determination that there will be a way to save his lost brother from the darkness of Zerom.
Skills
Though SoYa has a few random areas of magic that he dabbles in (namely Healing Arts), his real skills lay in mastering Mind Powers. He has a growing understanding of his abilities as an Athrylith, and he trains with his father when time permits.
Items
Paladr – A staff that SoYa crafted with his father’s guidance. The stone that hovers within the clasp of the crown is said to be a solidified tear of a star.
