His demeanor is tied to his magic during the times he is using powers of dark he’s heavy handed in Ice he slightly becomes more cold and calculated though when he is using powers of “light” he becomes heavy handed in fire he drastically becomes high spirited and excitable this state of mind is very unstable and unpredictable.
Balance between the too can only be achieved when he can find peace with the defeat of his own inner demons. Cocky, stubborn, arrogant, reckless, wise-cracking, greedy, with a inner heart of gold crowed by a see of doubt because his lack of magical ability that his people are known for.
He doesn’t know how to be humble or admit when he’s wrong it makes him a tough opponent to defeat his arrogance is the only thing that keeps him alive sometimes just because he’s to stubborn to give up or let someone else take fault for his actions to him all responsibility means is how well do you shine when the spotlights on you. though he lives in darkness he secretly searches for the light he feels that he’s meant for something more but doesn’t know what but until he understands what it means he shall continue to hunt treasure.

History:
Spent most of his life running from cops or people he owes money but if not either one he’s trying to get rich. The day he was born he parents died his father was working on a the gears of a train lock when the crane released and crushed him, his mother died in a car accident taking him to the sea of souls he was found in cased in ice unharmed.
Growing up an orphan he was not granted a soul of magic which was customary of his people calling them to brand him as a Lost Soul. He was raised by a vagabond named Loxse another lost soul, who taught him to steal and to follow the path of his mother and become a treasure hunter
On his 12th birthday Loxse took Van to his home one he had not seen they broke in and proceeded to look around. After wandering the halls for sometime Van felt drawn to an old chest that said “Vanelle the magic boxer” he picked the lock and opened the box and found two old rust gauntlets inside. Loxse came lumbering around the corner with a bag of loot wanting to take the gauntlets after some struggle Van felt a cold breeze and shut his eyes when he opened them the room was frozen and so was Loxse. The house began to shake on its foundation prompting him to make his escape and leave his guardian behind out of respect he took on his name to be know as Van Loxse The Lost Soul.
After searching the rubble for his mentor found a skull cap with the name Ten Rai stitched on the tag the name of his father and goggles the initials W.R. on the band the initials of his mother he vowed to make them proud someday dawning the gear that he found.
After finding his mentors bag of loot one of the neighbors, a young girl, showed up wearing a neck lace that he remembers his mentor saying to look for. He walked towards her to only see she had drawn a sword in the shape of a birds outstretched wing. He stepped cautiously towards her hands raised to show her he meant no harm only to realize she was blind.
Van then noticed she was wearing a necklace his mentor showed him in a Magic Man book saying it was the fourth magical item to be created in the land of lost souls in almost 200 years and that its creator was his grandmother Vanelle Rai. He through a bottle using the sound to mask his running took the opportunity to snatch the necklace off of her neck and take off down the street.
Felling the slight need to gloat he turned and looked back, only to see a piece of the collapsed house was beginning to fall towards her. Van instantly turned around and made a mad dash back to her screaming and yelling this only made her turn to his voice and ready herself for battle. He ran past her as she began to attack swinging her swift blade cutting his left arm causing him to stop and winch upon doing so the piece of the house began to fall towards them he looks up and puts up his right hand and feels a warm breeze he closes his eyes tightly.
Upon opening them after realizing he wasn’t crushed flat he saw nothing but ashes surrounding him and a fluttering piece of fabric that said “Sole.” Van turned to look at the girl still in a battle stance chuckled and said “Maybe next time?” before running off.
Six years later after gaining much needed control of his Magic boxer skills thanks to his Magic Man starter Kit, he began using them to protect the weak sometimes for a small fee. On his 20th birthday Van was heading to the Sea of Soul statue when he saw it move. Van stood there frozen wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him only to see the statue fall over as a cloud of darkness began to swallow the sky.
He turned to run away but saw no road in front of him looked up to see no sky. Strange glowing eyes began to appear around him he tried to back away from them but couldn’t move he tried to move his arms and couldn’t move he tried to yell for help but couldn’t make a sound he then heard the voice of his fallen mentor “Embrace the Darkness.” He struggled for freedom only to realize he was somewhere else upon opening his eyes some strange place where he doesn’t feel lost.
Role Playing Sample: Van’s 12th birthday
My name is Van everyone around here calls me Van the lost soul. I spend everyday doing what ever I want when ever I want it’s a great life for a kid. “Hey Van get over here we gotta get a move on!” Oh and that guy over that in the black trench coat is Loxse he’s my mentor slash guardian.
“I’m coming’, I’m coming’ geeze its not even night yet what’s the rush old man?” yeah I’m not the nicest guy when it comes to respecting my elders. “Well ya’ midget we got us a place to check out for treasure and it’s somewhere you been wanting to go, now hurry it will be dark soon or more like pitch black going at your pace.” Loxse said packing a bag up for our trip. Now here’s the thing I noticed Loxse spells his name L-O-X-S-E but everything he owns says some weird name that starts with an S but he freaks when I ask him about it. “Ah shut up ya old fart goin’ to pay a visit to those moogles again? They had some pretty cool spells that I bet even I c-”
“Look kid I know how much you want magic but after your over a day old the casting doesn’t work. Trust me and us lost souls gotta stick together right?” Loxse smirked while nudging me with his elbow. I really wanted to scream no you said I can only depend on myself.
“Yeah your right damn magic users who needs em’ we got each other and that’s all that matters!” I grinned knowing inside it was a complete and utter lie. Ok well let’s fast forward the boring part we walk, we walk, chased by dog. Stole some apples and grapes, we walked, got chased by some rookie cop and his dog. Now we arrive and our destination.
“OK so we came all this way just to come to some house?” I turned to walk away. “Come on Loxse this is just crazy man.” I was nearly down the street right before he said “Hey its not just some house” Loxse walked the door and wiped off the name plate.
I stopped and turned around to see ‘Rai Residents’ carved in to a piece of silver hanging on the door. “No way! It can’t be” I stood staring in complete awe of this amazing moment.
“Yep welcome home Van Rai” Loxse said with a grin before picking the lock. I watch the sun creep away and I can’t believe it he actually found it after all this time of thinking it was just looted and burned down like every other house after the owners die.
Loxse picked the lock and let the door creak open and I could feel the emptiness inside it almost felt dead. I mean it’s a house its not alive anyway but it just feels not homish, homish is that a word. Anyway we slowly crept inside not knowing how stable the place is or anything like that. “Hey Loxse how’d you find this place?” I whispered confused on how this rather random excursion happened.
“Well I ran in to Dennis at the market place and
he owed me a favor, one thing lead to another and here we are.” Loxse said with a smirk while slapping me on my back almost knocking me into a table.
“Wow Dennis found this place I’m surprised that dork can barely find his on shoes while they’re on his feet!” I said looking in the drawers of the table I almost ran into.
“Yeah well he had help from a little bit of *mumbled word*” Loxse said disappearing into the house.
“Hey Loxse what was that? I couldn’t hear that last word.” I turned to see he was nowhere to be found. “Wow thanks Loxse glad to know we’re good to converse.” I chuckled as I meandered through the house. “A bit creepy in here.” I thought to myself heading towards a shimmering door something that’s a bit strange being that the house is so dark. I crept to the door and tapped the four corners to check for traps it seemed clear so I stepped inside.
Laying on the floor was a great chest it glowed in the sea of darkness that was filling the room. “Vanelle The Magic Boxer, huh?” I smirked and got to work on its lock. “Almost got it!! Ah!!” the lock popped open and inside were too old rusted gauntlets one a dirty sliver the other a crusty bronze. “Yuck just junk” I said cocking my arm to throw them away.
Though I couldn’t I felt this undying need to keep them as if it was my destiny to hold on to these gauntlets and use them to save the world. “Nah, but they’ll fetch a pretty penny I hope” I said with a smile right before Loxse snuck up behind me reaching for the gauntlets.
“Nice find hand them over so I can put them in the bag with the others.” he said in a low scratchy voice that made me a little nervous. It was strange Loxse never made me feel nervous and when I say never I mean never ever.
“No way man finders keepers” I said with a smile. Hoping that the real Loxse would shine through and he’d say ‘Yeah man I was just messin’ with ya’ kid’ but instead I got a completely different reaction “VAN GIVE ME THE GAUNTLETS!!” Loxse yelled grabbing the sliver gauntlet.
“Whoa there man relax you taught me never give up your treasure” I pulled back on trying to yank it from his grasp “I also taught you to respect your elders!” He raised his hand to swing but I felt a cold breeze causing me to shut my eyes waiting for the blow to land. Yet nothing happened I opened my eyes to see the room frozen completely. I looked and the gauntlet and yanked it out of Loxse frozen hand and smiled picking up his treasure and mine I walked out with my head held high.
