Theo

Theo is the protagonist of The Weirkey Chronicles. He was born on Earth and his soul ended up in The Nine Worlds after being involved in a car crash. His friends were killed in the Cleansed Lands by a fourth stage demon and he was killed moments later by Vistgil on Noven. His soul then made its way to his body on Earth which was in a hospital bad. Theo then spent 40 years on Earth before wandering into Tatian.

Appearance
After returning to Tatian from Earth, Theo was born into a new body, and his elderly body died at some point after returning to The Nine. Theo's new form is about the same age as the body he had before his death at Vistgil's hands, making him look like a young man. Theo has pale skin and light hair.

Original
In his first life Theo was a Stronghold. One of his soulhome's highest rooms enhanced his eyesight. His soulhome was described as a "fortress" but there were a number of flaws within his soulhome. He also had a wind chamber which he used to enhance his jumps. His original soulhome was mostly focused on speed. One of the problems with Theo's original soulhome was that whenever he came across a new technique he wanted he would create a new chamber for it, even if the technique was not aligned with his soulhome and did not strengthen it overall.

His soulhome was wiped away when his soul returned to his body on Earth.

Soulhome (Book 1)
When Theo makes his way into Tatian he is not a Soulcrafter but he manages to advance by activating the armament spear Navim made him. Theo intended to create his soulhome based on the blueprint Brigana designed - a soulhome based on her insight and Theo's scientific knowledge of light. In this design the corner rooms of Theo's soulhome would have enhanced him with techniques in the 4 connecting rooms. In his current design the corners have techniques with the connecting rooms working as enhancements.

The grass in his soulhome was yellow and brown. Theo believed this was because he was actually an old man regardless of his body. Theo's first actions as a soulcrafter was to absorb some flamefruit and plant the seeds of one of them. He then begins trimming the branches of the hearthtree wood he had taken. Then he makes a door from the hearthtree planks. This door allows him to remain aware of his body whilst inside his soul. This is when he realises that the flamefruit seeds have died. Later, Theo is given some solarstone from Nanjuma and manages to break it into chunks. Theo then constructs a primitive room by stacking the solarstone lumps into a circular room with his hearthtree planks as a roof. Theo then begins to construct a vestibule. The vestibule has the effect of letting Theo absorb cantae more rapidly, use it with less loss due to inefficiency, and release it more forcefully. Theo also soulcrafts a box to store a Pearl of  the  Falls. He returns the Pearl in order to get another sublime material. Over the next three months, Theo finds that all plants die within his soulhome. During this time Theo also constructs 9 rooms out of solarstone and he sets up a crude fence from hearthtree wood.

Theo ignites a solar core from noonstone in the heart of his soulhome. This causes an explosion that changes the solarstone in the room to a glassy black colour. After examination Nanjuma determines that this reaction was caused because Brigana's blueprint no longer fit him, as he does not consider himself young and hopeful. Theo decides to change his soulhome from one focused on light to gravity. After accepting this his soulhome undergoes changes. The light dims, his solarstone walls grow darker and his grass changes to grey. Theo then claims the Archcrafter tier sublime material he was promised. He choses an item called a bogstone. He improves his outer chambers by crafting simple furnishings from hearthtree wood. Theo then begins feeding all the excess sublime materials he has to the bogstone which alters the bogstone into a a singularity.

Theo creates his first technique chamber by melting down sublime ore and shaping it into a representation of the space-time continuum. This room allows Theo to create gravitational fields and inverse fields. He finds that he is limited to a single gravitational effect at a time. His technique can double gravity or nullify it allowing for levitation. He then started adding trim and more elaborate doorframes, and some polish to the path between the room and the central chamber. Theo etched gravitational  symbols on  them. Theo spends time working on this room and he can use two fields at once which increases the gravity fields power so he can triple gravity or create negative gravity.

Theo creates a feasting chamber using the sublime food he had acquired. The feasting chamber enhances his body and cantae generation. Theo then makes the room just through his vestibule a storage room by reinforcing the door frames and by crafting chests to fill it. This room makes his body tougher and allows him to store sublime materials. His feasting chamber is improved with food from the sublime feast Nanjuma sets up.

Rainhorn (Book 2)
Theo had begun work on the room in another of his corner rooms. This room is meant to create a torsion effect. However, it was nowhere near working at the start. He makes carvings in this room. Theo improved both his storage room making his body more durable and his feasting chamber increasing his strength and senses. His roof was also improved by merging his hearthtree wood with solarstone. Theo improved his feasting chamber by making carvings into the table in the room. Theo improves his gravitational field technique room so that he can create 3 fields at once for a maximum of 4 times normal gravity. He decides to make his 4 corner rooms all components that can be used to produce something greater. Theo decides to hold all of Deuxan medals that he, Nauda and Fiyu acquired in one of his rooms. The medals gave a little cantae due to the low quality material they were made from.

In his third corner room, Theo sets a repelling stone in the center. He forms rings of hearthtree wood and fixed them to the floor and ceiling because the stone tends to float and the rings help keep it in place. Theo experimented with the room by attempting to hang or orbit various objects around the central force. Theo makes this into an anti-mass technique however it is so weak it does next to nothing. Theo places a magnetised stone in the last corner of his soulhome. However, this stone is too strong threatening to damage Theo's soulhome whenever he tried to use it fully. This room is meant to create mass. At this point Theo decides that he dislikes the way that his soulhome is set out. He believes his cantae would flow smoother if the mass and anti-mass rooms were set out on opposing sides. Theo adds the rainhorn meat to his feasting chamber and puts the excess flamefruit into his singularity. Theo creates a frame to hold a set of rainhorn antlers and places them inside his torsion room. The torsion room would generate gravitational and twisting forces, which filtered through the horns would create a sharp bolt of cantae. Theo continues carving in his feast room.

Theo ascends to Archcrafter in order to gain enough power to best the eryo. Ascending to Archcrafter increased his cantae's power making his techniques stronger.

Archcrafter (Book 3)
Theo begins to break down some eclipsebasalt boulders. Eclipsebasalt is incredibly durable and contained cantae nearly perfectly so Theo used it for the construction of the rooms on his second floor. Eclipsebasalt has a dark outside and glowing inside so Theo made bricks that glowed externally but where black on the inside of his soulhome. When made like this, the eclipsebasalt bricks glowed on the outside like his solarstone floor and the exterior helps deflect attacks whilst the inside matches with Theo's gravity. Theo added some Fithan food into his feasting chamber which provided him with slightly more strength. Theo describes how his 4 corners will have channels from his techniques on his first floor that open to his second floor so that his techniques will eventually mix into a single technique - a black hole. Over the next 2 weeks, Theo finishes the outer walls of his second floor and constructs a wooden roof.

Theo intends to use his singularity as a heart room on both of his floors. Making a heart column instead of 2 separate heart rooms. Theo creates shafts in the corner rooms so that the cantae from his techniques begins to flow into his second floor. Theo then moved his singularity up to his second floor but it is too strong when outside of his blasted solarstone and begins to crack his soulhome. He then returns his singularity to his first floor where it is contained by the glossy obsidian solarstone. Later, Theo purchased a trenchgem which is a sublime material that resists pressure. Theo obtained a stonevortex from the Blacksilver vaults. He places the trenchgem in the room above his anti-mass technique. The trenchgem has little effect on its own but when its cantae flows down into the anti-mass room the power combines so that Theo can push things away. However, developing this into a defence would take significant effort so Theo developed both rooms for use in his black hole technique. His stonevortex is a spinning, red rock that Theo places above the gravitational torsion chamber. The spinning cantae matched perfectly with  his  technique of shifting gravitational planes, making the technique much more deadly. Both the trenchgem and stonevortex rooms are extremely basic with a great deal of carvings.

Theo continued to work on his torsion chamber by adding more carvings as he questions if vents were the best way to channel powers between floors. Theo begins to work on a speed room using the tornadogems he collected. The speed room is set on his second floor. He had to build the room to dampen the effects of the tornadogems as they generated too much  wind which clashed with  his gravitational concepts. Theo built a hollow cube of eclipsebasalt, then replaced the four sides with dark sublime glass panes. The top was a lid, which he put the tornadogems in. They began to  spin  around one  another, forming a tornado of cantae. Their force passed through the dark window panes and was transformed into a much more acceptable energy. Theo made carvings in his speed chamber to enhance it.

Theo purchases a drysupernova so that he can replicate the explosion that produced the walls in his heart chamber on his first floor. This sublime material detonates producing the obsidian-like material for the walls of his center room on his second floor. This explosion made his singularity stronger. In Ichil Theo began to work on a second speed chamber also on his second floor using tornadogems and he finished the carvings in his corner rooms. Theo started carving a representation of an accretion disc around the exterior of his soulhome. He completed several major orbiting loops that would also help his cantae flow in the intended sphere. In the Biolumin Relay, Theo finds a sublime material that acts as a wormhole. Theo places this sublime material above his gravitational field room. When both the wormhole and the field rooms flow into his central room Theo can teleport small things - like his black holes. Theo buys a bleakburden which is a sublime stone with immense density. The bleakburden was placed above his mass chamber to strenghten it.

When Theo draws on all 8 corner rooms at once he can create a black hole. Theo's black hole technique feels infinitely dense to Fiyu but it lacks time dilation and there was very little of an accretion disc. The black hole devours cantae and as it is made by Theo it does not hurt him to touch. The technique grows as it devours things. Theo then creates a third tornadogem speed room.
