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

Comments

[smilingtransfer]

I wasn't aware there was a specific term for that.

[carriesparasol]

You shouldn't be.

...This virus. Does it intend to ruin me?

[smilingtransfer]

More likely, it intends to embarrass you. There's a vast assortment of aliens, demons, and spirits as members here; there's really not much to worry about as far as discrimination is concerned.

[carriesparasol]

If they knew what it meant for them, they would worry.

Very few people in my own world know what I am. Not even my own family.

[glyph_witch]

How is it possible for a person not to have a soul?

[carriesparasol]

I suppose there is little point at lying at this point...

I was simply born without one.

[glyph_witch]

That is very strange. They say even the Dark Lord had a soul at one point. But to be born without one...

[carriesparasol]

I cannot tell you more. No one in my world knows how or why it happens as it does.

[womanofvalor]

How can this be?

[carriesparasol]

I do not know. I was simply born without one.

[womanofvalor]

But... forgive my boldness, but does this make you different?

[carriesparasol]

It does. I would rather not share how, as it might alienate me even further amongst the people here.

[ihatepsychology]

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.

[carriesparasol]

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

[ihatepsychology]

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.

[carriesparasol]

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.

[chapter_behind]

--Perhaps there is a difference between our worlds in how that separates you from others. You are certainly nothing like the damned soulless I have met.

[carriesparasol]

Oh? And what are the soulless of your world like?

[chapter_behind]

Cursed.

[carriesparasol]

Are they supernatural in nature, then?
