the light and the glass

INTO THE HEDGE
Seeming: Servant
Role: Fairest Searchlight
Abilities: Sollux's two major abilities come in the form of supernaturally enhanced sight as well as the manipulation of light, especially the lumination that comes from his own body.

For his visual sight, he is capable of processing visual information in perfect clarity, from anywhere his light touches. That is to say he can see in all directions at once, at all times. The only part of his body that doesn't project this seeing light is, ironically, his eyes. This does mean that he can raise a hand to see his own face while also seeing the roof above his head and the floor beneath his feet. How his brain must process this gives me a headache just trying to think about it, but hey, it's magic. The second half of his sight based power is a limited sort of presentience - he has an instinctive sense of the immediate future, as well as the more distant future in terms of vague omens. His future sight is limited by whatever is appropriate in a storytelling sense.

His light manipulation is a lot simpler. He can project beams of light, as well as form shape out of it. Usually this just amount to him using his "spotlight" effect to point out escapees, or in just making his body brighter to sound the alarm. He is also capable of making his body hypnotically dazzling in a way that has a chance of putting onlookers into trances. This is the kind of thing that would probably require a will save if we were using dice, but in game terms its just a matter of what the players want out of situation.

He can fly at a leisurely, floating pace, which only ever gets as fast as a human can run. This mostly seems to be because his body is supernaturally, well...light. If one were to pick him up, it'd feel like they were lifting a creature of equivilent size made entirely out of downy feathers. This also means that he has very little physical force when it comes to combat, and is not very strong. He has no weight advantages what so ever and can be thrown around like a pillow.

Description: Sollux's changeling form is shaped very much like his normal troll form except that his entire body glows a radiant white - so radiant, in fact, that it can be hard to make out any physical features beyond that. His eyes are the only things that stick out, since they appear to be nothing but blackened voids. His claws are sharper and his horns are longer and wavier, often appearing to subtly shift in shape as he moves. As a fairest, he is also supernaturally beautiful, in the sense that his aura is a naturally attractive thing to look at.

His ankles still have ornate, black shackles on them with bits of chain hanging off when when he was chained up on the roof.

Reasoning: Sollux's role is all based around him being used to watch for future threats, and to stop them when they occur. This is something that is actually very closely tied to his character - through much of his life he was capable of foretelling the doom of others, and was constantly seeing the death of himself and his friends on the horizon even if no one else would believe him. Despite the fact that he more or less believed the future was set in stone, Sollux has also been the sort that solves people's problems, often without any expectation of approval or appreciation. He's the one that watches out for danger when no one else is paying attention, and he's the one that makes sure things work in the background while no one else will. Also, the fact that his role has him being used against his peers to capture escapees ties in with his history of being weaponized against his will.

Beyond that, his canon powers are really glowy telekinesis, and his name is literally the words "sun" and "light" crammed together.

MEMORIES
First Memory: Waking up dead after using his telekinesis to project a meteor through the outter ring. He doesn't really remember the meteor part, but he will remember being in a lot of pain, dying, and waking up in a dreambubble. And he'll remember being pretty damn alright with it all being over.
