@Aragorn Just saying, besides the Disciplines that specifically work through symbols, you can use any medium for any Discipline. Also, Spirit and Soul are different, so thank you for doing what you did with your character XD
Not the GM, but I'll try to answer. Soul would be like your mind. Spirit would be more like motivation in the roughest sense. For example, if one had the Existence Aspect and controlled one's spirit, they'd be changing their motivation to do things. Their desire to live and/or do other things. Control over soul would be more akin to mind control, directly affecting their personal views, wants, needs.
@Aragorn@Wayward Close. But not quite in the world of Nevada. Soul actually can do BOTH things you just mentioned... But only on the living. Spirit works around the dead. I'll make a post explaining death in Nevada, but TD;LR, dying makes your body lose function. and lets you spirit go free. Spirits have boring lives, without minds and personalities of their own, existing and not being seen by anyone except Spirit users until their being used up, either by time or a Spirit user, to be recycled into Aeon. Spirits can be used in different ways: users can see through the spirit's eyes, control where they go, manifest them into a solid object such as a chair, etc.
Fun Fact: Meliona's classroom is entirely made of spirits. If any of the students find out, they will probably freak out. Plus, Soul users have the very strange effect of overlapping with Spirit in a single event: a break between the barrier of reality and concept. The Weapon of the Soul. More will be expanded on when the next and final batch of teachers are uploaded.
At some point, I'm going to make a compendium of sorts to list the current disciplines used by characters. It'll explain a general knowledge about them, and maybe give other people ideas when they create their own character with a Discipline of their own.

Could a Soul Existence user discover the spirits? Or would that only be possible for a Spirit user?
Also, you are gonna need to tell us about that weapon of the soul...

@Aragorn Soul users can see shimmers and undefined features if the spirits have died recently, usually within a month. After that, the Soul would have deteriorated too much for them to be seen by anyone other than Spirit users.
Weapon of the Soul got you interested? Wait for the Math teacher. They will be a Soul user for various reasons. Their extra info will explain how it works (and again, the compendium will made... Eventually. I'm procrastinating, I know.)
Sorry if you see this as super unprofessional. My computer's been taken and writing in my phone isn't very appealing. Plus, a world which is very much influenced by limitless power and customization is a place I've never stepped before. *bows low* Sorry.
You kidding? I WAS that GM. First couple of RPs I made was done on the tiny screen of one of those slide out keyboard phones, and a nook(the first gen one, with the tiny ass touch screen at the bottom.)
Aspect: Destruction and Existence [mainly Destruction]
Discipline: Void and Lightning [mainly Void]
Medium: Her medium is the two gloves that she possesses which are firmly planted on her hands. This has been created solely for controlling her destructive power. If not wearing these gloves, the Void becomes very inaccurate and so does her Lightning making it very dangerous to use.
Don't mind the crystal...
Her hair has been a known anomaly among the Halechstin family. It divides itself into two, the right side is black whilst the left side is gray so she possesses both hair colors of their parents. Her eyes are azure blue, taking after her mother, and shines under the light. As opposed to her brother, she is quite tall, standing at a height of 5'8". Unlike her brother, she wears a collared black coat with neon blue linings and then the same color theme for her slacks [skirt in rare occasions]. Under her right hand is some sort of mark, similar to Ulrich's eye, and she doesn't know what it is. She hides it with her specially made gloves. The gloves are black and neon blue, following the color scheme of her clothing.
Personality: Lillian is the polar opposite of Ulrich. Whilst her brother is an outgoing and friendly person, she is not. She is an aloof girl who has close to no friends, if there is any at all. She doesn't openly interact with people unless forced to do so. However, she does know how to listen and follow orders like a good soldier would do. She has always claimed neutrality in everything, not hating nor loving people. She does, however, have a soft spot for her two brothers and acts friendly around them, not that it is much of a difference, but it's the thought that matters.
She has developed this personality mainly because of her use of Void. One emotion could ruin everything for her, so she distances herself from people and became nearly emotionless so she wouldn't feel anything and thus the Void would still be under her control. Although if one would be extremely patient and persistent with her, they could break her wall and welcome you as a friend. However, you death might be the cause of her death as well as the Void would consume her completely.
Bio: Lillian is the second born to a wealthy family living in Astra. From a young age, she was taught many things and she often played with both of her brothers. She was quite a happy child back then. However, one faithful day, she had discovered her ability to use the Void. She could destroy things at will but she had little control over it. Her parents feared her power and locked her under the house grounds, in the cells, with only two teachers to help her control the power. She had been very lonely and her stone cold heart was created in these times. But her brothers, Ulrich and Caesar, often slip by security to visit her; these were the times where she was truly happy.
When Ulrich expressed his wishes to enter A.E.I.O.U., their parents thought they should enrol Lillian as well. Caesar couldn't since he would soon take over his father's position (or at least they hoped to). Lillian had been well-versed in the use of the Void by that time and has been learning the basics of Lightning. Her time at the Academy had helped her greatly, she had learned many things to help her in both the Void and Lightning. Her Lightning hadn't been as powerful as her Void so she tends to switch between these two, depends on what the objective is. This is her third year in the Academy.
I got a new position open = I need a char that can be a sort of guardian for the Academy. It will count towards your limit of two chars, so only send an application if you have an open slot.
Don't mind the crystal...
