Core Concept

A medic that heals out of spite, and because he cares, even though it might not seem like it. Aster is known for being a really cold person who says what he thinks, regardless of whether someone likes it or not. Analytical and calculated, he gets irritated when something goes even slightly out of his control.

Aster had a rough life, which thanks to a bunch of unfortunate events, ended up igniting an intense hate for guards and the nobility. He has made it his life's mission to heal and aid criminals to stick it to those up there, assuming that everyone who is either a guard or a noble inherently has the worst intentions for everyone else.

Aster doesn't currently follow any religion or believe in any gods. He wasn't born into any religion and believes that if there are gods, they are selfish creatures who only want to spread their influence for their benefit

Finally, Aster is a marken. He was born one thanks to his father also being one. He finds it more inconvenient than anything and tries to reduce its effects as much as possible, even resorting to drugs such as opiates.

Appearance Information

Aster is a 6'2 black cat Asha who normally wears a brown coat, white shirt, and overly worn-out boots. He usually does his best to make sure he looks presentable, but as a medic and alchemist, that isn't always possible.

Aster has a more lean body type, with his body being slightly muscular, but only because he's a marken. He used to exercise a lot, with a ton of recreational activities like most Asha, but he kind of lost that part of himself on the way.

Life Story

Spoiler: Life Story

Aster was born in Sovereign Ithania among the unfortunate. It wasn't a very pleasant childhood, but he did what he could and tried to be a normal kid. He never had a good view of guards and the nobility, which in the beginning was mostly fueled by envy. They had their lives set when they were born, and he had to worry about how long the food for the week was gonna last. It wasn't fair.

He was also born a marken from his father, which he couldn't control when he was younger, so he didn't have many friends. But the few that he had he cherished. His father taught him how to control it, and by his teenage years, he already had good control over the curse.

He and his family constantly dreamt of leaving Ithania, and maybe going somewhere where his kin is more accepted. It was nothing more than something to talk about during dinner though. They didn't have nearly enough money or resources to go on a commercial ship. Not that any boat would have them, anyway.

Eventually, though, the debt collector came barging in. Long story short, they were forced to go. So the only solution they had was to sneak into a ship and hope no one noticed. Long story short, someone did notice, and only him and his mother made it out. His father transformed as a diversion and got them both to safety, saving them but sacrificing himself in the process.

He was, understandably, furious. Aster was only a teenager at the time, but he wanted revenge, even if he had to take his sweet time, but his mother taught him better. She was just as upset as he was, but before he could plan anything long-term she told him that revenge led to nowhere and he shouldn't live with all that hatred.

After all that, Aster decided to study alchemy and become a doctor, making it his life's mission to help criminals medically, therefore making it easier for them to attack nobles and those higher up. Mostly out of hate, but also because he sees himself in the people he helps, wishing someone like that had (or maybe did?) help his father.

But what about the markenism in his blood? Aster takes the curse like one, making sure he never transforms because it just makes a mess out of everything. After studying alchemy he found that opiates can be used to avoid transforming. He doesn't transform that often but still has developed a mild addiction to them, which is only growing as his body craves for more and more.

It took a while to get the money to study those pretty heavy subjects, but after he did, he headed to Regalia, the city of big opportunities. Hopefully using his skills there.
