Anything Else?: I recently went back to work after being disabled for two months, so my schedule is a little crazy. I work as a lead caregiver thingy for disabled people so I'm either super busy, or I'm not really that busy, it's a hit and miss! Anyway, I like horror games, jrpgs... I'm an avid cooker, but I think I'm mediocre so I never post any of my cooking.
Character: Astralin Turnont
Canon: Original Character
Canon Point: Modern times
Crime: Necromancy, use of forbidden magic
Background: Astralin was basically set to be a prince when he was younger, but his family turned their back on nobility so that never happened. He's just a simple farmer now, but he's been through some shit in his childhood (basically kidnapping and torture). After he recovered from the ordeal, he ended up being really paranoid about people and tried to keep his powers under wraps. He's a prodigy of sorts, and comes from a strong magical bloodline so it makes him a target for people who want his powers. Homeboy doesn't catch a break because war breaks out in his world, and he's targeted by the person that started the war but managed to stay in hiding while helping the resistance. After the war, and shifting more toward modern times, he's very much a Dad and a Grandpa. He works under his granddaughter, Marie (who is the current headmistress of prestigious magic school), as a combat instructor of sorts. tl;dr he helps kids hone their abilities, while still being a farmer on the side.
While his initial crime was second degree murder, it's been changed to necromancy/use of forbidden magic. During the second war, his nephew was murdered and had his limbs somewhat severed by Demetria. Astralin and his niece recovered the body, and his niece became so obsessed with reviving her brother, that Astralin learned how to use necromancy, which is strictly forbidden in their world. So after learning how to revive the nephew, he had his husband steal the cyborg parts from Demetria's military base and use it for their nephew's missing limbs. So yeah, that's the jist of Astralin's new crime and why it's been changed.
Abilities:
- Spirit Magic: He has the ability to take raw energy, and convert it into magic disks that he can throw. These disks can immediately vaporize his target, and basically cause a lot of destruction in his wake. He tries not to use this ability as much, as it uses quite a bit of energy and it's overpowered. It's basically nuclear powers. (Will be unable in Expiation)
- Scythe Proficiency: His main weapon is a scythe. He can move around quickly, and do aerobic flips with his scythe to perform his attacks. There's a lot of spinning, and flipping involved with his scythe, so he has fun with it. There's also a weightless enchantment on the scythe to make it easy to move around with.
- Ice magic: Astralin can summon icicle spears with his ice magic, and use it as a throwing weapon. He can also conjure up an ice shield to protect himself or someone else if they're in trouble. General ice abilities, like diamond dust and ice spears.
He has a creationism ability with his ice magic. He's able to create simple things, such as vases, flowers, ice sculptures, chairs, furniture and what have you. Just simple things like that. He is also able to preserve food and flowers by infusing his ice magic into those items.
- Restorative Magic: Surprisingly, despite his aloof nature, he is a proficient healer. He can mass heal those around him who are injured, without using too much of his power. He can heal through deep wounds, and can save people from the brink of death. (Nerf in Expiation: Not able to heal from the brink of death, but he can heal wounds, fractures and broken bones.)
- Monster transformation: What it says on the tin, but he wouldn't actually use it here. Unless you really piss him off, and then if he actually uses it, he's trying to kill you.
Plans: I definitely want him to say something about his new crime. It's something that he can get behind and actually admit to doing since you know. YEAH. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID lmao. But i'm chill with new CR. He's apparently adopting all the persona kids, so I guess that's a thing.
???: no
