Alex: Due to a mishap on foresight's part, she was born without a soul. She's also the one most connected to foresight. Thanks to her connection, she's sometimes able to sense parts of the future. Mainly by sound or smells. This does make her partially depressed, specially when she knows she can't help change the future. (She wasn't supposed to have this gift however, it's the side effects of having a bit too much of a deity in you. I think Mother Foresight was drunk making her).

Her lack of a soul makes her more vulnerable to magic and sensitive spirits - an example is that she shouldn't come into contact with soul sand, as it drags her in and makes her body unstable (it was indeed learned the hard way). Allays and vexes also tend to hover around her more. I like to think some of alex's depression is caused by the constant use of soullessness in a negative light.

She's also married to Steve :)

Steve: Steve's the second soul anomaly, sitting on the opposite part of the spectrum from Alex: his body houses several souls. his anomaly is quite harder to clock as most of the souls are dormant in him, and he usually just has one soul active at a time. He's gifted when it comes to natural magic*, and he's also very warm to touch. he's considered the "leader" of the default 9 due to his mental strength. He's the second strongest physically, after Ari.

Thanks to the amount of souls in his body, he's less sensitive and doesnt get targetted by spirits much lol.

1: They are born of usually Testificate parents. Basically the Hosts are pulling virgin Mary shit on Tesificates except they're not virgins lol. Their physical differences get more obvious after puberty, when Their natural balding doesn't start - although it IS possible for testificates to keep their hair, it's a simple harmless genetic mutation.

2: limited immortality is what I call Their condition. They grow up normally, till the age They're "ascended". Then Their physical body locks at that age, allowing Them to live for how long They want. However this doesn't mean They can't die, They can die of sickness, or can be killed, etc. There's a lot of records of Heros dying.

3: Soul oddities, as their name suggests, are natural mutation of one's soul, or anything abnormal tbh. This board umbrella term includes many things, from having more than one soul in your body, to several people sharing a soul, to not having a soul in general. Unnatural mutations and oddities caused by magic are not counted. It's good to keep in mind that some types of oddities can cause different types of immortality, but true immortality can't exist for physical matter.
