Background / History

Soma descended to the Lower World largely to escape the goddesses pursuing him in Heaven. His initial time in Orario was chaotic: female adventurers surrounded him so persistently that he struggled even to establish his Familia. He later cultivated a gloomy, sinister presentation to make himself less attractive and avoid further attention. 259 358

When Soma first founded the Soma Familia, he personally directed its growth until it became a second-tier Familia. Its collapse began when members became addicted to the inferior Divine Wine he brewed. Deeply affected by their dependence, Soma gradually abandoned active management and focused on brewing instead. 291 304

Falan's recruitment renewed Soma's interest in the Familia. After Falan resisted Divine Wine, Soma granted him a Blessing, protected him from other Familias seeking his Life Magic, and eventually made him captain to replace Channis Lustra. 6 7 16 242

Appearance

Soma appears as a simply dressed young man whose hair usually conceals most of his face, giving him a gloomy aura. Beneath that deliberately unappealing presentation, he is notably handsome. 227 228 259

• Hair commonly hangs over his face. 227 228
• Maintains a gloomy or sinister atmosphere to discourage admirers. 259 358
• His concealed appearance is described as handsome when he brushes his bangs aside. 228

Personality

Soma is calm, patient, and often outwardly detached. He treats the Lower World as a long-lived god's game, yet rejects the idea that mortals are merely puppets; he believes sincerity from gods is necessary to receive sincerity in return. 7 12 247

He is highly sensitive and perfectionistic, with the temperament of an artist rather than an administrator. The Divine Wine addiction crisis wounded him enough to withdraw from Familia management, though Falan's reforms eventually draw him back into guiding the Familia. 291 304

Despite his indifference to reputation, Soma can be strategic and forceful when his Familia is threatened. He confronts Uranus over Falan's targeting, exploits Divine Wine as political currency, and removes Channis when his management proves destructive. 16 32 242

Abilities & Skills

Divine Wine Brewing

Soma brews Divine Wine and considers many of his Lower World products flawed or inferior. Even these inferior batches are highly addictive to mortals, induce dreams based on the drinker's deepest desires, and can improve physique and strength. 6

• Inferior Divine Wine became the cause of the Soma Familia's widespread addiction and decline. 6 7
• Genuine Divine Wine can intoxicate gods; Soma retains a genuine Upper World bottle as a collectible. 227 260
• His finished Lower World Divine Wine is valuable enough to serve as leverage with other gods, including Loki. 32
• Soma states that his current brewing skill has brought the flavor of his wine close to the genuine article, excluding the divine intoxication effect. 260
