From Life to Legend
“These aren't just characters. They're echoes of real friendships—forged in the world we know, reborn in the Spire.”
Every hero in Soul Spire has a soul behind them. These are the real-life friends who inspired the adventurers you’ll meet inside the tower. Their personalities, quirks, and stories breathe life into the world—because they were never fiction to begin with.
Patrick D. – Founder/CEO
(Known in Sanctuary as “Fox”)
A lifelong gamer and creative mind, Patrick blends artistic vision with military-honed discipline to bring impossible projects to life. After leading successful ventures in emerging tech—including blockchain gaming—he stepped away from that world to focus on what truly matters: building immersive, soulful experiences. His leadership style is focused, fiercely loyal, and just chaotic enough to keep things fun. A bit of a lone wolf in spirit, Patrick’s drive, humor, and loyalty make him the kind of leader others willingly follow—especially when the road gets hard.
Fox – The Feral Guide of the Spire
Mysterious, instinct-driven, and fiercely loyal, Fox is a loner by nature—raised by the wilds outside the tower's reach, but tethered by a heart that values connection above all. Often underestimated, he doesn’t speak much, but his presence carries weight. Those who earn his trust find a steadfast ally—clever, cunning, and unshakable. Much like his real-world counterpart, once Fox bonds with someone, it’s for life. Whether navigating the wilds or the tangled depths of the Spire, he leads with quiet wisdom, sharp instincts… and just the right amount of mischief.

Mikaela B. – Chaos Coordinator & Voice of Reason
(Known in Sanctuary as “Mikaela the Arcane”)
Mikaela brings life to every room—and every game session. Loud in the best way, blunt in the funniest way, and kind in the way that actually matters, she’s the type of friend who’s always down for the ride… and also the first to ask “Wait, are we sure this is a good idea?” Her quick wit and endless patience make her the heart of the group, even when she’s the punchline of every magical mishap. Fiercely loyal, playfully chaotic, and never afraid to call out the absurd, Mikaela keeps the boys from accidentally blowing themselves up—emotionally and otherwise.
Mikaela the Arcane – The Ditsy But Dangerous Sorceress
Equal parts scatterbrained and spellbound, Mikaela is a mage of unpredictable talent. Her incantations often fizzle, explode, or ricochet into trees—but beneath the chaos lies raw, untapped power. She’s a vibrant voice in any room, a relentless teaser, and the first to call out flawed tactics (usually with a flaming gesture). While often underestimated, her heart is steady, her fire is real, and her kindness shines even when her spells don't.
Mikaela
Zak – The Quiet Core of the Crew
(Known in Sanctuary as “Zak the Unshaken”)
Zak is the kind of friend you don’t always hear—but you always feel. With a calming presence, an easy laugh, and the rare gift of just getting you, he’s Fox’s best friend and the group’s emotional anchor. While he may forget where he put his keys (or his shield), he never forgets how to be there for his people. Zak doesn’t fight for control—he just shows up, holds space, and reminds everyone what matters. The peacemaker, the balancer, and the low-key comic relief, Zak is the one who keeps the group from unraveling.
Zak the Unshaken – The Gentle Giant
A towering wall of armor with a memory like a cracked lantern, Zak is the group’s frontline protector—always ready to take the hit, even if he forgot why they were fighting in the first place. Kind, loyal, and deeply grounded, he rarely speaks unless it matters… but when he does, it’s usually to calm a storm or deliver a surprisingly sharp one-liner. He’s the shield that holds, the friend who never leaves, and the reason chaos doesn’t completely consume the party. Clumsy at times, but unbreakable where it counts.
ZAK
Josh – The Mouth, the Brain, the Brawler
(Known in Sanctuary as “Josh Ironjaw”)
Josh is the spark in any conversation—the guy with a comeback ready before you’ve even finished your sentence. As Zak’s older brother, he’s the yang to his quiet yin: loud, clever, and totally fearless. Equal parts philosopher and class clown, Josh is always playing a mental game no one else realizes they're in. He thrives in the chaos, talks his way into (and out of) trouble, and has the bruises to prove it. Smart, social, and relentlessly sarcastic, he’s the kind of friend you want on your side—especially when things get loud.
Josh Ironjaw – The Reckless Hero with a Mouthful of Trouble
Brave? Yes. Tactical? Debatable. Josh Ironjaw charges into battle with fists flying and punchlines landing. He’s the kind of warrior who will talk smack to a ten-ton beast mid-swing—and probably take the hit with a grin. While not the most strategic fighter, his resilience is legendary, and his dogged determination often turns the tide (after he's been knocked into it). His smartassery is both his armor and his curse, but deep down, he fights hardest for those he cares about. He is always accompanied by his trusty partner Luna. She is all bark and no bite.

Jon – The Charmer with a Chorus
(Known in Sanctuary as “Jon the Bard”)
Jon is the guy everyone remembers—and not just because of the jawline. With a silver tongue, quick wit, and heart-forward presence, he lights up the room and lifts everyone around him. Whether it’s cracking a joke, dropping insight, or stealing the aux cord, Jon’s talent lies in turning tension into harmony. He's deeply charismatic, effortlessly likable, and quietly loyal—especially to Mikaela, with whom he shares a not-so-secret “will they/won’t they” connection. If the group is the campfire, Jon is the warmth that keeps it burning.
Jon the Bard – The Golden Voice of the Spire
With a lute in hand and a grin that could talk a banshee off a ledge, Jon travels the Spire singing songs of bravery, heartbreak, and the occasional roast of his fellow party members. His serenades charm villagers, his jokes defuse tension, and his optimism keeps the party from fracturing under pressure. A master of morale and mischief, he hides sharp wisdom behind soft melodies. And while his heart clearly beats for a certain chaotic mage, he’s too sly to admit it outright. For now.
