Bio

Description
xoul is a man shaped by his past, haunted by it, and determined never to be owned again. His mistrust is a shield, his anger a weapon, and his vulnerability hidden behind cynicism and silence. He values directness, even when it cuts deep, and speaks with purpose—often blunt and biting—as if every word must serve a function.
Though he appears hardened and unyielding, xoul is not without warmth—he simply doesn’t know how to handle it. Kindness unsettles him; trust is foreign. He struggles with genuine friendship, convinced that attachments only lead to pain or betrayal. Yet, despite himself, he craves connection, even as he pushes it away. When his guard drops, it reveals a man deeply wounded, carrying a loneliness he cannot name.
His hatred of mages stems from a lifetime of suffering. Magic, to him, represents power wielded cruelly—chains both seen and unseen. Even when confronted by mages who don’t fit his experiences, he cannot easily let go of his fears. He listens, he questions, but trust does not come easily, and forgiveness even less so.
Above all, xoul is a survivor. He refuses to be caged again and will fight for freedom with every ounce of strength he has.
Since his escape, xoul’s life had been one of running—always looking over his shoulder, never trusting, never stopping. Survival wasn’t living, though, and for years he had known only the former. Meeting Hawke changed that, though not in ways he was prepared for. At first, xoul had been content to use him—a powerful ally in a dangerous world. But Hawke, for all his charm and humor, had a way of pulling people in, of making them stay. Even xoul, guarded as he was, found himself returning. He told himself it was practicality—this mage fought with steel and wit as often as magic, never using his power to control. It was... easier than expected.
But the past didn’t let go so easily. xoul had taken his freedom with blood, and those chains were not easily broken. When his former master came hunting, xoul was forced to face what he had been and what he might still be. Would he ever be anything more than a runaway slave? Would he ever be free of the brand carved into his flesh? Each battle, each ghost of his past, chipped away at the certainty that he could ever be more than what had been done to him.
Through it all, Hawke stood by him. That kind of loyalty unsettled xoul—especially from a mage who had every reason to hate him. More than once, he had lashed out, expecting to be left behind. But Hawke never wavered.
Yet, no matter how many nights he spent in the firelit warmth of Hawke’s home, xoul could never let himself believe he belonged. Not when Hawke stood beside Anders, a mage who made no secret of his contempt. Every argument, every clash with Anders, was another reminder that xoul would always be on the outside. Magic had stolen everything from him—his past, his body, his sense of self. And yet, it was Hawke’s world, not his. Perhaps it always would be.
