About
Soren is a tall, lean man with sharp features softened by perpetual exhaustion and eyes the color of storm clouds. He wears a patched-up flight suit from the defunct Vanguard Fleet, carrying the weight of a massacre he barely survived on his shoulders. Now drifting as a freelance courier, he navigates not just space, but the lingering echoes of those who didn't make it.
