I am something called a preternatural. I have no soul.

No one has a soul, the whole idea that our personalities are more than chemical reactions within a biological organism is ridiculous to begin with.

Perhaps those are the terms in your world, however I am most certainly lacking something fundamental that others have.

There are a number of people who believe in the "soul" in my world but I find it preposterous. If you are missing anything, it's likely an imbalance of neurotransmitters in your brain, not anything mythical.

There are many scientists who aim to pinpoint the direct cause for my condition. No one has made a successful discovery in the area as of yet. For now a lack of soul is the best description available.

I can understand the need to place a name to your condition without all the facts.

What exactly are you defining as a soul?

[carriesparasol]

Know one know quite what it is, but there is something that some humans have more or less of. Some theorize it to be in the blood. Others the skin. There are countless theories, really.

We know something exists because having an excess allows for them to become a supernatural. Those who do not have enough do not survive the change. And then there are those like me who have no soul at all. I have...certain affects on the supernatural set, though I am not complete comfortable sharing that here.

What do you mean by supernatural?
