History

Loss of Xanis

Formerly merged with the Warshade Xanis, Aster attended The Paragonian Knights Grae Academy and graduated valedictorian. But shortly in the summer after, Aster was attacked by members of the council. He attempted to fight them off and seemed like it was no big event. But just well all seemed fine, one of the Council revealed a new weapon. This weapons was a prototype, Capable of destroying a Kheldian instantaneously while still leaving the human alive. After that in one final attempt to escape Aster used all the remaining energy for one final teleportation.

Recovery and Revelation

For a while Aster was injured and he had thought it was all over. His powers were gone and most have what he had trained for was useless. The only thing that remained was his purple highlighted hair. But other then that, he was normal again. He didn't think he could ever fight evil again. His friends did the best that they could to encourage him but deep down he felt he was as helpless as a kitten in a tree.

After weeks of mopping around, Aster began cooking again. He had always enjoyed cooking ever since he took it up as a hobby in the Academy. He was slicing up tomato's when he slipped and cut his finger. He quickly wrapped his hand in a towel to stop the blood from pouring out of his wound. But after a few seconds the pain quickly subsided. Curiously, Aster removed the towel to inspect the wound. But there was none. At first he thought he was going crazy. But the evidence of blood on the towel proved otherwise. Aster went to his friends about this and it was then he discovered his regeneration abilities.

Decisions and Training

Discovering his new regeneration abilities led Aster to believe all was not lost his his days in a mask. After quickly getting a rough idea of his powers, Aster begun to look into the idea of training with a weapon. With the further help of his friends Aster decided to try and learn how to wield a katana. he learned the basics from his friend Ellie, who would later become his Sempai. After getting the basics down Aster to the uncle of his dear friend, Elizabeth, who was a swordsmen and asked for the aid in his training. And now Aster has risen from the ashes of his defeat and loss of his powers and former half. Stronger then he was before.


Personality

Aster has grown up a lot over the months. He is strong and good-natured. He often has a very clam and happy presence. But when the moment calls for he can be quite serious. He's determined and headstrong sometimes. Aster likes to help people and is very easy to talk to. His optimism can almost be painful at times, but he never lets things get him down for long.

Friends and Associations

Abilities

Sword skills

Aster is very skilled with a katana. He is quick and precise. And prefers avoiding rather then blocking. His training and guidance under Akoto has brought Aster to a new level.

Regeneration

Aster's regeneration is very interesting. It comes from his larger energy reserves that were stretched originally due to his merging with a kheldian. Small cuts and wounds will heal on their own. While larger injuries must be focused on to heal.

Aster's regeneration has given him much high stamina then normal humans. As such, he was able to train for longer periods of time and required little sleep. He has stated on multiple occasions that "four hours of sleep is like a full night" for him. and "two hours would be enough if needed."

Speed and Reflexes

Aster initially had decent speed and barely above average reflexes for a swordsmen and relied more on his regeneration. But after feeling a spark of competition from Ellie, who's speed seemed god-like in comparison; Aster sought to improve in both so that he could match hers.


Hollow Wind

At first Aster used ordinary katana's, not paying much thought into his weapon. At first it did not make much a difference. But As Aster grew stronger he began to realize a normal sword was not enough. While he kept getting better quality swords, there was no improvement. Most would break after a period of time. Aster realized it was not his fault or faulty swords. He simply realized that the swords were not made for him.

Aster's need for his own sword led him to start coming up with his own ideas. He began to study and write down notes on the possibility of a sword, not the strongest in the world. That was not his goal. His goal was to make a sword that would be strongest in his hands alone. He brought these plans to his Sensei. Who forged the sword known as Hollow Wind.

Tsubame Gaeshi

The Tsubame Gaeshi is one of Aster's strongest attacks. Through Hollow Wind, Aster is able to attack his opponents with a wave of energy. It is named after the attack of Sasaki Kojirō."
