I only knew I would be the strongest version
of what I was first given
Somerset is godmade and as such has never lived a mortal life. He has lived in Erossor for as long as he can remember; grew up among the strange stone cities and the endless golden grass. He belongs to Nausicaa and works directly under that god. He looks different from Nausicaa in the face but otherwise is built nearly identical, with the exception of being about a foot taller than Nausicaa. He's quiet and painfully awkward and struggles in social situations even among literal dead people so while he has something of a terrible bedside manner for a psychopomp he helps bring souls in to Erossor nonetheless. Him and Nausicaa actually get along really well because they have similar personalities, but Somer is a lot more anxious and generally just seems sad. Rajentala absolutely adores Somerset and was the one who pushed Nausicaa to treat the boy more like a kid than an employee. Around Rajentala Somer is quicker to smile and, although still nervous, quicker to relax.
Somerset does genuinely enjoy doing his reaper job. He likes ghosts and spirits and the dark and he enjoys feeling like he's helping people. He does usually come across as solemn and sad but Somer just has a hard time expressing himself. He's found this to be especially true when it comes to crushes; he has a crush on the graceful and deadly Heramedes, yet half their interactions are Somer just sticking his foot in his mouth. Hera is surely oblivious as Somer has not succeeded even once in saying something flirty and he can't bring himself to admit the crush to Nausicaa or (gods forbid) Rajentala. In the meantime he works off and on with Sefina's reapers and is familiar enough with them that on slow days they often end up congregating together. Somer has little interest in the mortal world or having a mortal life and is usually overwhelmingly nervous when he has to venture up to retrieve a soul physically. Usually the reapers are invisible to mortal lives but sometimes a soul is hanging on to their body and needs a gentle nudge, and for that a reaper needs a body too. Somer doesn't care for the feeling of being human.

sometimes I had to trample with tears in my eyes
