Faust/Plot

Early Life
Faust was raised largely by Leilani's soot skeletons, rarely meeting their mother. Stolas took charge of their education but with a hands off approach, encouraging Faust to form ideas and opinions independently. Due to improper guidance, Faust struggled to develop emotionally but quickly grew in intelligence.

After apparently awakening their soot power and gaining control over their face, Leilani arranged a date for Faust's Debut as they were pushing the age limit. Despite this, Faust felt frustrated that the parents that largely stayed out of their life suddenly began preparing for an important moment of their life without consulting with them and argued with Stolas who went to tell Faust the news. The argument devolved to the point where Faust awakened their actual soot power, to create explosions, which injured Stolas.
