Zeromus Astora
"A displaced Amaurotian"
Early Life
Life berore the calamity, was interesting to say the least. Abiding by the city's laws and regulations at the time he was an aspiring scholar and one and one of their brightest minds-well for him and his friends at least.He was one of those that were allowed to study within Akademia Anyder and tried his hand at a few creation ideas that were-hit and miss to say the least. Never the less, he was a scholar and had a few close friends, Yliaster and Alara to name a few-though they were his preferred friends and circle.
Death?
During the final days of Amaurot, he was willing to give up his life to Zodiark to aid his people and stop the calamity's from occurring. However-with the world slowly returning to some normality....he was slowly relieved-wanting nothing more then to protect his closest friends-and....crush. Upon learning of the separation between their people and the discord brewing, he wondered what he could do to aid them.Finding no resolves but an ensuing battle between light and dark, he wanted nothing more then to surrender his life to aid Zodiark in the battle that unfolded-however he was struck down before he even got the chance, impailed by falling buildings and watching it collapse around him. As he struggled to break free, he saw his world ending-and the world fractured before him splitting him into his fourteen reflections across the source and the shards, never to be heard from again.
RebirthZeromus had been shattered across the source and the fourteen reflections. His old friend Yliaster had fallen for a mortal known as Eywa Feyrbrand. Between their time together, multiple attempts on her life was saught after by assassins, and rouge Ascians in spite of Yliaster's differing views on saving this star or destroying it.In time the idea of losing his love forever... blossomed the idea to search for each individual shard and make Eywa Immortal... to make her whole once more so to speak.However, upon doing so-Eywa was no more, and in her place was Zeromus. The Ascian that was shattered in the battle of Hydaelyn versus Zodiark.
ASCIAN ALLIGNMENT: ZODIARK
Let it be known, though he worships Zodiark, he has no intentions to destroy this star for such things. He merely wishes for the return of his kin and his world. Though unlike those of the Ascians we we have come to know-he is not hot headed or ill tempered. More so none other then any other Amaurotian of his time. He hails Zodiark for the hault of the calamity in his time, and for the return of resources such as water, wind and life. Now in this time however, he finds himself beside himself and rather in an everlasting state of bewilderment.Why do they have a bad reputation? Why can't anyone know those ruling over an Enclave are Ascians? Why do these mortals think and act the way they do?For a scholar like him, he is rather infatuated with this star and wishes none other then to understand it.
__MAGICAL PROWESS? __
Creation magic obviously, and Arcane ability's like this brotherin. Where in he could summon something out of nothing sure, however...he prefers more simplistic things and rationalists every scenario.However-with that said, he can from time to time be seen lazy and snap his fingers to conjure something like a snack or perhaps a toy for a little one if they were in distress.On the battlefeild he prefers to fight hand in hand with limited capabilitys to be on equal terms with his enemy, finding it rather unfair they are are at a disadvantage in some cases.Best way to describe his fighting techniques however if he had to, would be a mix of blue mage and red mage, With a hand in this new Pictomancy. He wields the element of darkness and phantasmal weapons. Unable to wield a real sword himself...since he isn't properly trained in such actions.
Love/Family
Sexuality? Zeromus is actually Bi-Sexual like most of his shards-wound up to be because of him. However his preferred gender to be with is male over female.Family?
His Ascian roots are unknown.
as for lovers or those he holds close?- Despair Astora - Husband, and aetherically entwined lover. Despair has been by his side through a lot of events and is the creative one between the two. Father to Zerairo Astora between the pair-Amaya Astora - Despair Astora's sister met by chance since she was sent to him for some relaxation and a private session from her friendZerairo Astora - Son between Zeromus and Despair from future events, managed to come back to try and stop a calamity only to be caught in an already fixed timeline. His origins are more experimental in nature.He has two biological sons as well that he knows of, Tell and Leif under his last relationship.
Personality?
Very outgoing sort, curious by nature, though sometimes he really shouldn't be. He is Shy when it comes to his true emotions for his best friend, even if he already admitted it.You can bet he sticks to his scholarly roots and wants nothing more then to be appreciated and loved for his intelligence-basically he just wants to make others proud.
Work?
He is kind of trying to be a botanist in his free time. Finding peace in the nature around him, and the idea of helping to heal those with what means he can. Not exactly a healer himself, more on the offensive then defensive magical aspects.He study's all kinds of plant life and herbal remedies to concoct ways to heal the sick to best of his ability.
Currently he is trying to indulge himself in the ways of dancing, swimming and enjoying his life. In the best way he could-he is searching for work at any local that will bring in some coin, not wanting to make fake gil (1. he knows it's wrong. 2. He doesn't even know the material or what he looks like well enough.)He is looking to be brought on as a Dancer, Bartender, or perhaps a bouncer. Not grasping anything in particular seemingly due to what he is...
Home?
The Story So Far
Currently he is recovering from using a ton of aether to save his friends from a calamity that may have occured and shifted the sands of time if not altered. As he recovers he has attempted now to lay low and take up work once more and try to not over exert himself. His aether seems to of taken an interesting turn-showing signs of healing magic? Something he never was able to tap into-could he learn how to mold his dark aspected aether for good? It's something he will try and figure out in time. He's still looking to make friends-and work as well with people who will accept him for him.
Slowly trying to learn and adapt without a jaded mindset of the souls of this realm, judging them with their need to fight and violence, he has started to reinvent himself in this host form. Trying new things and wanting to put the past behind himself to the best of his ability.
