Background:

He's a muggleborn, born in a small town in the Northern English highlands, with a German mother and an English father. They hunt a lot and it's family tradition to learn falconry from a young age, so he's very adept with archery and falconry.

Soren was very close to his father, but he suddenly left him when he was 8 without him ever knowing why. And since then he has this deep fear of abandonment to the point that he avoids making real connections to people out of fear that someday they will end up leaving him.

He started showing signs of magic and ancient magic when he was 9, but out of his fear of being seen as a freak in his community, he (subconsciously) suppressed his magic with his ancient magic. Hence the quill of acceptance and book of admittance didn't detect his magic and he didn't get his Hogwarts letter when he was 11. There, he started to feel like an outsider in his community because of his magic.

Fig found Soren on his adventures researching Ancient Magic when Soren almost went obscurial for suppressing his magic for too long. And he took Soren under his wing and there goes the HL storyline.

He sees Fig as his father figure, and he feels that he can finally blend in. But then Ancient magic problems start to attack him, and once again, he's tasked with keeping something from other people. For that, he hates his Ancient Magic ability.

For some reason his ancient magic is very unstable. Oftentimes he couldn’t summon it by himself or it just leaks or has outbursts on its own.

It is especially affected by Soren’s emotional state, going haywire when he was at his most vulnerable (i.e when he’s enraged or in immense grief).

Personality: 

Overall:

He's calm and polite, smiles a lot and overall a pleasant guy. But he rarely goes beyond that.

Behind his polite demeanor, he is naturally distant and has difficulties making connections with people beyond acquaintance/casual friends. 

He rarely opens up and trusts people with his problems, even with his friends and loved ones. Hence he tends to keep his problems and emotions bottled up and deal with them alone.

But once he had his true connections with his friends (HL main supporting characters, especially Estelle) he's loyal to a fault, going above and beyond to keep them safe, even willing to put their safety above his.

Overall he is a very kind person at heart, but always has layers of walls that keeps people from knowing who he really is.

Him under pressure:

If it revolves around him, he’ll keep calm and level headed, carefully and precisely assessing the problems and proceed to solve them efficiently.

If it revolves around his friends/loved ones, he quickly panics and loses his composure. He tends to become rash and reckless, doing more harm than good to himself.

Him and anger:

He doesn’t get angry easily, and when he does, it was never because of him. It was always when someone insulted/hurt his friends/loved ones.

He’s the type who would pile up his anger. Tries to just ignore and be the bigger person. But when they clicked his trigger, he’s prone to be ‘violent’ and threatening. Attacks back with cold eyes and menacing aura.

Usually, his ‘revenge’ is silent treatment. He will ignore that person and act like they don’t exist.

Him and romance:

He’s very oblivious to his and other people’s feelings. He won’t notice subtle hints that they have interests in him romantically, and just thinks that they’re only being nice as his friends.

He will, however, feel fuzzy and warm, without even knowing that it was his romantic feelings towards that person. 

Him in Quidditch:

Quidditch is one of the skills that he is most proud of. To him, flying is just ‘natural’, despite just learning to do it in his 5th year. And despite his usual protective nature, he is very offense oriented in Quidditch, with chaser being his best position in the team. He becomes immensely passionate and fiery in Quidditch games, even using daring movements to steal and/or attack his opponents. He also becomes extremely competitive and absolutely hates losing when in Quidditch.

Other traits:

- hardworking

- perceptive

- calculative

- competitive

- stubborn

- aloof

- oblivious (of his and people's feelings)
