| 15 Second Summary |
Lalli is a mage in a world where mages have to fight zombies and guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. He's poorly educated as a result, since most of his formative years were spent teaching him to hunt down and kill trolls (the local name for zombies) rather than any schoolwork beyond basic reading and math. He's got a whole host of mental issues thanks to living in a death world, and his neurodivergent nature make it difficult for him to connect with others. Also he was raised to never, ever, EVER talk about his problems and likes to deny they exist rather than admit he might need help. That said, Lalli isn't nearly as standoffish and grumpy as he initially looks. Get to know him (and learn to understand his strange way of thinking) and you'll find a loyal friend who longs for meaningful human contact and will leave odd presents behind for his favorite people. |

| Abilities |
Lalli is a Finnish mage! Finnish mages primarily use prayers and rituals to work their magic, and they gain their power from the old Finnish gods (as opposed to Icelandic mages, who use sigils get their power from the Norse gods). Magic in SSSS is pretty versatile, but Lalli's specialty is in defensive and support magic. He's the one who makes mental shields to protect others from magic attacks, and he can send his Luonto (a part of his soul that is used to do magic) outward from his body to act like a physical extension of himself if he can't reach something. While he can use his magic to attack, he's not as good at it as he is with locating trolls and protecting others.
There are also a few things all mages can do. Mages can clearly understand the dark speech of trolls (non-mages hear it as static primarily), and they can detect the presence of trolls long before they see them. Mages can see and communicate with ghosts too, and ghosts can physically touch them. Mages can also dreamwalk, and while visiting people in their dreams there are no language barriers (it's like an auto-translate is on). Finnish mages also can say prayers to their gods in hopes of invoking one of them to use their power to help in some way. (Lalli does this once by asking for a god to clear up a storm.) |

If your character pings as undead or as a ghost, please let me know! Lalli can sense both the undead and ghosts, and he will react rather violently to them than he would to other people (at first, until he learns better). Additionally, if your character is a god and would make that fact obvious to Lalli (Especially a Finnish or Norse god), please let me know because that will get a funny response from Lalli.
Also, there are a LOT of content warnings for Lalli's canon. Specifically gore, zombie plagues, body horror, and suicide. If you want to avoid any of those, just let me know. |
| Sensing |
Lalli can sense magic, the undead, and ghosts. Lalli also pings as having magic (and specifically magic that comes from the gods, if that detail matters). He also has three souls technically, but it's more like "it's one whole soul, but in three parts and each part does something different". One of them is cat-shaped. |
