Give me a character that I write or have written and I will tell you either what they look like under Harry's Sight or what a soulgaze with them would be like. Specify which one you prefer, or I'll choose. Either way is fine with me.

For the uninitiated, both concepts come from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. Sight or Third Eye shows people's true forms, usually in a metaphorical fashion and a soulgaze shows what that person's soul looks like, with their past, present and possible futures and innermost essences on view, unable to hide anything, usually only in a metaphorical fashion.

It doesn't need to be a supernatural character, but characters with some background and/or a decent amount of screentime are preferred so I can make some guesses as to what their essences are. Any of my OCS are welcome, too.

I love this idea. There just isn't enough Dresden on the internet.

How about a soulgaze with Sherlock

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Sherlock's soul looks like a laboratory -- not exactly the same as the lab at Barts, but similar. There is a violin concerto playing in the background, softly. There is a microscope in the middle of the room with him bent over it. He looks like himself, only exaggerated. A bit thinner, a bit taller, a bit paler, hair a bit curlier. Around him on lab benches and work surfaces is a collection of samples, evidence or specimens, each labelled neatly with a person's name. The bottle labelled 'Dr John H Watson' is at his right elbow, with a bloody bullet inside it, likely the one that killed the cabbie. Nearby is a jar labelled 'Molly Hooper', which has a human heart in it. 'Mrs Hudson' has something that looks like tea in it and 'DI Lestrade' is an evidence bag with one of his warrant cards in it. Farther away is 'Mycroft Holmes', which contains a piece of paper with apparently nonsense on it, but really one of the codes he used to make up for Sherlock to crack when he was bored as a child. There is a rather large jar with a vicious, evil looking spider trying perpetually to crawl out of it. It's labelled 'James Moriarty'. Also, half hidden under a stack of papers is a evidence bag with a mobile phone in it, labelled simply 'The Woman'.

The lab is spotless and white, apart from one corner which is dirty and dimly lit. There are words carved raggedly into the bench and wall here, which read things like 'addict', 'freak', 'sociopath', 'heartless' and 'wrong!'. There are also case files here, well-looked through and worse for the wear. All of them have 'unsolved' written on them. Scattered around are syringes and white powder.

There are three exits from the lab. One has 'Mind Palace' stencilled on it. That door seems to lead to the beautiful, London perpetually-at-dusk that can be seen through the lab windows. Another exit has a pair of angel wings stencilled on it. If you look through the window, you can see 221b beyond it. The third door has a red skull stencilled on it. Where that one goes is unknown, as beyond it is utter darkness.
