Sorio is lean and fairly well muscled, but not bulky. His hair is messy and hard to control, so usually he simply lets it lie as it will. To cover up his mark he generally wears high collared shirts, turtlenecks, or a scarf. In general his clothing is loose and in dark colors so he doesn’t distinguish himself from the rest of the crowd.

∞ Secrets ∞
⌛ Hates being alone: Sorio wouldn’t admit it, but he really likes to be around people.
⌛ Family: Sorio is still in contact with his family.
⌛ Animals: Sorio has a soft spot for animals, especially because pets are not allowed in family units.
Sorio has two small pistols that are more used for deterring people from attacking than any long lasting damage. For more serious combat he uses two knives that he keeps hidden in secret pockets in his pants.
∞ Personality ∞
Sorio is a serious type who analyzes the situation and then acts. When the situation permits he will think about even responding to a simple question. He is one to take time to get to know other people so that when he assigns them to tasks he is sure they will do well. Although he can be a little bossy, he tries to earn respect before he asks people to do things. Level headed and calm when it comes to his own problems, he doesn’t know as much how to handle the problems of others. He is a sucker for those who say please and will put aside his own work to comfort or aid other people. Before he does these things for people, however, he has to have some level of affection or respect for them. When he does this he doesn’t expect something in return. For him it is his job to be a leader beyond raids, because if he can’t be trusted in everyday things than how can he be trusted in big things?

∞ History ∞
Sorio lived with his mother, father, and younger sister in one of the better districts. His father was a cook in a restaurant for that catered to the local officials and his mother worked as a secretary for one of the officials. They didn’t have much more privileges than most, but they had enough food for the table and toys that other children might not have had. Sorio and Natsuna, his sister, went to school in a different district because they lived on the edge between their district and a poorer one. The kids in their school were envious of Sorio and Natsuna for living what they thought were better lives.
Thus the two were bullied and picked on. Their parents encouraged them to ignore the bullies, to be the better people. So they did. They tried to turn away from the teasing, but the teasing turned to poking and pinching which turned to ambushes in alleys on the way home. One time when Sorio was sixteen and Natsuna was fourteen the were physically dragged into an alley by a gang of kids with a gun. The kids threaten to shoot the siblings if they didn’t give them their money. The leader of the kids pressed the gun to Natsuna’s chest, demanding payment. In that instant Sorio was terrified and angry at all the bullying over the years. He took a deep breath and blew out a green fog towards the face of the leader. The leader inhaled the fog and laughed, commenting on how badly Sorio’s breath smelled. Then he started coughing up blood. He crumpled to the ground, spasms racking his body. The gang of kids stared, astonished, and Sorio and Natsuna ran away.
After this event Sorio found that he had a marking of two snakes eating each other’s tails around his neck, one light and one dark. He found that his could breathe strange mists that would make people fall asleep, hallucinate, cough blood, and cause eyes to bleed among other things. He could even breathe a stream of fire. But his experiments were not left unnoticed for long. People wearing gas masks came and told him to get in a car when he was walking home from school one day. Freaked out, he nevertheless did as he was told. At one stop on the route that Sorio recognized as one to a government facility someone fired shots at the car. The people in gas masks got out and started shooting in return. Sorio took advantage of the confusion and ran. He was intercepted by people who introduced themselves as the Light Bearers. They told him to come with them and he would be safe. Desperate to get away from the government, Sorio went with them. The Light Bearers provided him a safe haven. Now he works as their raid master.
