the one he introduces himself with.
used by the Oneironaut.
the Light sometimes calls him that.
One of few words and often few deeds, too, the Soldier's armour is quite hard to pierce. Their silence is not one that speaks louder than a thousand words, but rather one that shields them from the world surrounding them; they let their actions define them, yet often don't know what to do and feel stranded in the sea of possibilities; they're able to completely cut themselves out of the real world, at the cost of being unable to deal with it at all.
The Soldier thought participating in the war, following the ideal, would give their existence some sort of meaning, but all it did was leave them feeling completely empty, lost in an inescapable vertigo, not knowing where to go or what to do, not knowing whether to live or to die. That was, until they met a Light, and suddenly realized that their entire world was about to change.

I feel I’m over my head
I’m haunted, I’m wired
I only wanted yesterday
Next time I’m not trying
Next time I'll feel no pain
I’m haunted, I’m wired
Dear mother, I’m tired

- The outfit and palette variations are linked to the story and cannot be mixed up - please keep this in mind if drawing them. The Light always matches the Soldier, too.
- Their flame has no particular design inside it during Act 1, an inverted triangle shape in Act 2 and a diamond shape in Act 3. Feel free to stylize the flame differently than how I do it, but keep the shapes inside.
- The wax can be drawn/stylized in any way, as long as the dripping is represented.
- Despite being pretty average height for their species and age, he's somewhat smaller than any other humanoid character.
- The gold accents are the only consistent color through all the variations.
- The Act 1 cloak is tattered at the edges, while the Act 2 and 3 cloaks are intact. The former is a single color with golden lining, while the latter two have different colors inside and outside and feature patterns.
- The Act 1 cloak goes over the Soldier's shoulders, then falls behind his arms, and it cannot be closed at the front. The Act 2 and 3 cloaks go over their arms instead, and can be closed at the front. The Act 2 cloak has the golden buttons keeping it closed, the Act 3 one just keeps itself closed.
- The designs on the Act 2 and 3 cloaks glow.
- The golden circular thing on one of Act 3 Soldier's necklaces is the compass he and the Light were given by the Astronomer.

- My biggest inspiration for their story were the albums "Wanderlust", "Odyssey" and "Yonder" by Valiant Hearts. Apart from the whole story taking themes, words and titles from the songs in the albums, the Soldier himself was very much visually inspired by the candle guy on the odyssey cover!

Finding a place with no pain. Or maybe, reaching an answer to anything and everything...
...Tough question. I'd say I'd never go to war, but if I hadn't, I would not be here now, as I am... Maybe I would have spent more time with my family.
Talking to others. Answering questions. Asking questions...
I never ask others... Maybe they see my flame first, maybe my tattered clothes... Myself, I see a change. I'm not the same Soldier as when I began my journey.
Many values only brought me pain, obedience to the ideal, loyalty, honor... Maybe the most important to me is empathy. Becoming one with the person in front of you.
I suppose I am. I'm proud of how I've changed and grown. I hope it will happen more.
As strong as my desire to die has been in the past, I am. I do not wish to disappear anymore. I'm getting closer to... something beautiful. I cannot miss it. I have so much more to do.
I now see a light of hope, yes. I'm starting to believe a world with no pain might be possible, if I'm capable to continue shaping my reality.
The Light bothering me. It basically told me I could not lay there and die like everyone else there... As much as my mind tried cutting it out, my heart listened. It embraced it.
...I guess it's not only a painless place or an universal answer. It's hard to say... I'd call it a "purpose". My purpose... Our purpose.
