He grew up with the old divide between the Mainland vulxin and the Island vulxin - Mainland vulxin are better at using magic, but Island vulxin are physically bigger and stronger. He grew up with the impression that Islanders are unintelligent brutes. This quickly changes once he meets Reed and other Islanders.

City Guard

It's not really a religion, but he heavily studies the soul, death, and reincarnation with his great uncle, the 127th Death Traverser.

January 6th, 2187

no formal, federal education. He has informal education that reaches about a 6th grade level, and has extensive education involving vulxin history, recent human history involving vulxin and the Fairy War, and the science of souls, reincarnation, death, and the afterlife

He was born in the village Wycoy, about halfway between the nearest human city and Fairy Lake. Wycoy is one of many villages that surround Fairy Lake, that are populated solely by vulxin and serve the purpose of both guarding humanity from Fairies and keeping humans from getting to Fairy Lake. His ancestors came from Nairmosse's country Luokoen, and a tradition that exists in their tribe is that there is always one person chosen for the role of Sonyien, or someone who has the ability to detach their soul from their body and enter the afterlife. Sonyien means "Death Traverser" in Luokoenian. Sonyien are important in bringing people back from the dead if it isn't their time yet, but also giving peace and reassurance to those who have died and their still living relatives and loved ones. Even though he lives on Earth and follows mostly an American lifestyle, the ancient tradition is still preserved and due to winning a competition he became the 128th Sonyien. His great uncle, the 127th Sonyien, passed all his knowledge down to him. Being a Sonyien is not a full-time job though, so that's why he works as a City Guard.
