I try to comment regularly to cfud_concrit, but in the event that you wish to provide immediate crit on my playing of Soma, please feel free to do so here! Anonymous is on, IP logging is off.

As a side note, the representation of India and Hinduism in Kuroshitsuji is not entirely accurate (example: Soma wears a bindi when bindi are traditionally worn by women), and Soma and Agni do occasionally fall prey to stereotyping. I'll try my best to avoid doing the same while not sacrificing characterization because I really do adore Soma, but in the event that I do mess something up, I would greatly appreciate being corrected so that I don't continue to do so.

Name: Prince Soma Asman Kadar, 26th child to the King of Bengal.
Age: 17.
Birthday: April 18th. (Aries; not canon) Moon sign is Pisces.
Height: Average.
Weight: Average.
Medical Info: Is healthy! AGNI FEEDS HIS MASTER WELL. T^Tb
Eyes: Gold.
Hair: Indigo.
Physical traits: Soma is a fit and pretty young Indian man. Aside from previously mentioned, Soma also wears a bindi on his forehead and is tattooed all over. Arms, legs, feet, chest, hips, everywhere. See here and here for reference. He's almost always wearing clothes similar to what you see in those pictures, along with lots of decorative clothing, piercings in his ears and navel, and lots of jewelry. He probably jingles when he moves. Very appropriate attire for a prince ♥
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: I'm pretty good with anything, except there is ONE THING I really don't want Soma to know, and that is Sebastian's true nature as a demon and Ciel's true objective. Soma loev Ciel and doesn't need to be more terrified of Sebastian than he already is. :(b I may change this if canon ever does go there. Fortunately, Soma is airheaded enough to let things fly over his head when need be.
Abilities: HE CAN TAKE ON ADAM RICHMAN. Man v. PRINCE. Coming to the Travel Channel this fall.

Okay no, OTHER THAN HIS ABILITY TO STUFF HIMSELF SILLY WITH DELICIOUS CURRY, Soma has skills in traditional martial arts and sword training from India. (Kalarippayattu and Silambam) He can also play what I think is a sitar. ALSO HE IS PROBABLY ON OCCASION DIPLOMATIC? O_oa
Notes for the Psychics: I am super special awesome today CIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LOVE ME CIEEEEEEEEELLLLL agni is so great you guys he is my buddy foreverrrrrr BAWWWWWWWWWWWW MEENA ;~; BAWWWWWWW oh hey the picture box has a new show on! AMAZING!! <--this is Soma's mind, more or less.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Talk to me/talk to me/be prepared for lots of yelling.
Maim/Murder/Death: No please. :(
Fighting: Sparring is cool! Serious injury is not.
Kissing/Hugging: Yes! Soma is a very touchy person.
Cooking: ... hilariously, I don't think he can. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE HAVE BUTLERS.

Name: Soma Asman Kadar
Age: 17
Series: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Canon: Ciel's a 12-year-old head of the noble House of Phantomhive. Sebastian's a demon contracted to Ciel who works as his manservant. They fight crime! Only not quite. In this alternate universe Victorian England, Ciel's job is to investigate the darker goings-on in London's underground as Queen Victoria's "watch dog". With his talented demon butler Sebastian at his side, they often find themselves investigating gruesome murders as well as violent and otherwise suspicious incidents. In one case centred on Anglo-Indian politics, Ciel runs into a loud, arrogant, young Indian prince named Soma, who is looking for his missing maidservant. Soma's quest and Ciel's duty become intertwined when Ciel orders Sebastian to win a curry contest to increase the reputation of his toy company with good eats. To prepare the dish that will win the competition, they need Soma's experienced taste buds! He rises to the task with gusto--after eating some humble pie, so to speak.

Raised in an environment where his every whim was catered to, Soma is bossy, brash, and often ignorant to the rest of the world's problems. It isn't until he meets Ciel and Sebastian that Soma learns how to bow his head and accept some personal responsibility. While he still retains much of his cocky attitude, he is getting better at trying to understand and help people--but that won't stop him from whining, complaining, butting into peoples' business whenever he feels like it, and generally being a tactless idiot. Once Ciel tasks Soma with being responsible for himself, Soma makes it his life mission to become a great man--and of course that involves rushing into things and proclaiming his greatness before he even gets started.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY!!! HEY YOU!!

Yes, you! You are the one I am yelling at! Can you hear me now? Good. I require the counsel of a true American food connoisseur such as yourself! How did I know you are an expert in this world-famous cuisine, renowned for apple pie, melted nacho cheese, and slathering gravy on everything? It's obvious! The way you cannot help but salivate over the gravy even when green and dripping from the heads of your fellow villagers, how you moan and stumble blindly toward even a smelly, stinky droplet of it? THAT is the mark of a true food lover! You will go to any length to have a taste of it! Incidentally, is it common in your country to slather sauce on your head? America is a very strange place, indeed.

I have decided that you will tell me all you know about this new land of cuisine so that I may become a connoisseur as well! I am no chef, but my taste buds have sampled some of the finest dishes in both India and England! Don't laugh, it's true!! Have you ever done anything as impressive as that? Still, I wish to partake of your gravy knowledge, so that I may become a prince worthy of my home country and of my English brother Ciel. I will go to great lengths to learn all that I can of your delicious, if greasy, food. You will find me an apt pupil, I am sure--but first, I wish to get to know you better, my new friend. Come, let us drink together. Bring me your finest wine!

... blegh. I didn't know Americans drank such grainy wine. Don't you think you should have something smoother to drink? And something with less corn (and definitely less hay, eugh) in it? We deserve better--naturally, you agree. Perhaps something spicier, with ginger and cinnamon in it, or--oh, maybe one of your soda drinks I have heard so much about? Is it true that if you shake the can before you open it and then drink it, it creates an explosive sugary fizz in your nose? Amazing! You, you will bring this to me immediately and I will see if my nose is up to the task. I cannot wait to--eh? Oh... you're all out of sugar and fizziness. I see. No worries, I will make do. Perhaps there is something else we may both partake in together? I would be glad to enjoy a dish of your homeland with my new brother. Is there something you like to eat regularly, that I may be able to sample?

Ah? ... You have a dish that is a mix of local, English, and Indian cuisine!? Very well! Bring me this 'Tuesday Tikka Masala'.
