Soren Evans/History

Roscoe
Soren is the son of the internationally renowned detective Orphrey Evans and the florist Kaori Ren. Born in the port Roscoe, he was named after an ancient philosopher who had inspired his father’s career and was subsequently expected to continue the path of a detective. Nurtured under the tutelage of his father Soren grew to become an intellectual individual well above his peers however, at the urging of his mother yearned to become something more than just a detective following his father.

When Soren was nine years old he grasped an understanding of Wind Magic and while following the wind detected a large disturbance in the outskirts of the town. During a scene with a series of bandits Soren was ruthlessly beaten and unwittingly accelerated their plan of occupying the port to make themselves large lumps of money. Initially, this situation reflected badly on Soren, believing to have just caused the downfall of his home. This event however, incited a spark of genius within him to rapidly develop and further his magical capabilities. Hours later, while still heavily injured Soren stands against the bandits and manages to take out a few. Unfortunately, he is easily defeated once more and is brought to Roscoe as a hostage threatened by execution.

When the bandits announced their occupation, Orphrey boldly refused to submit regardless of Soren’s situation. The bandit leader orders Soren to be executed; as Soren tearfully resigns himself he is saved by a bolt of Fire Magic, shot by Cernun who had been called by Orphrey to save the town from a plot he himself had already been aware of. Alongside Cernun, the Holy Septet Royal Army stormed the port and eliminated the bandits. Wishing to avoid taking credit and cause a fuss, Cernun negotiated to keep the incident quiet and to instead credit Soren for saving the port, an event that brought the child to national attention.

A while later, Soren, still recovering, asks his father to also train him physically in addition to being nurtured intellectually, deciding to never again become a burden to others and expresses his desire of joining the ranks of his saviour Cernun at the Royal Army. After years of training both his mind and magic, Soren comes across the Phantom who had dropped by the port town as a part of his travel. Taking an interest in him the trader left a manuscript with Soren, one that contained several scripts to learning the almost obscure magic Etherea. Regarding himself as ready and strong enough to do so, Soren departs, thanking the town for all they had done for him, looking to join the ranks of the Holy Septet Royal Army.
