Don't mind if I just pop this here, do you?
Name: Aster Javian
Alias: Apollo
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Personality:
Aster is mostly a nihilistic being, he doesn't often see a point to most things and generally doesn't relate to anyone else's point of view of the world. His loyalties lie with no one, not even himself at times as he has developed somewhat of a self-destructive attitude, though this ebbs and flows depending on his mood. Despite this main trait, Aster has been found to be inquisitive, mainly about the concept of life and death. Life puzzles him, whereas Death intrigues him. He staunchly refuses to believe that Life solely exists here on Earth and questions where else he could find life beyond Humanity's spectrum of discovery. Where Death is concerned, Aster gives it a more practical approach. He likes the ability to command Death, to bring it into fruition, to cast it upon others around him. He wonders what happens to a person's soul once they are dead.
This has made him quite malevolent, though not in a ill-tempered way but a maniacal one. He finds humor in other people's death and more so their struggles or pleads to avoid it. He can be classed as psychotic due to this way of thinking and his odd behavior of speaking out loud, even when no one is around. Even despite his current state of psychosis, Aster is still pragmatic. He understands the idea of allying himself others to get a job done. Even though money holds no sway for him, Aster realizes that he needs it in order to survive.
History:
Growing up in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York, Aster has lived a life of poverty and violence. His mother a prostitute and his father some unknown pimp/drug dealer. When his mother contracted HIV a few weeks before his 12th birthday, Aster ran away from home to live on the streets. During his years on the streets, Aster fell in with numerous gangs and for most of his teenage life, was in and out of police stations all over New York.
It was only after breaking into, what turned out to be, an ex-government research facility in search of old computer parts to sell on, did his life truly change. The events of what exactly happened that night escape Aster's memory, but he no longer cares. After that night, Aster moved to the West Coast. His new found abilities had given him a clearer outlook on life or rather, more specifically, death.
WGUF-What Got You Famous:
Aster's most famous moment happened to be the one that landed him in the ICF. He hijacked an ambulance with a woman in the back who had just gone into labor and drove it around on a killing spree for two hours, laughing all the while at how ironic the whole situation was. He murdered a total of 24 people through the combined use of his powers and drive-by hit & runs. He was only caught after stopping to deliver the baby, resulting in the death of the mother and eventually being pacified by several ARGO Agents. The event garnered widespread attention, with several calls for Javian's execution.
He was instead quietly imprisoned within the Illwood Correctional Facility and is kept within a cell of complete darkness, whilst also wearing a face mask that completely obstructs his vision. The protocols of his containment are such that he is not allowed contact with any member of the facility to prevent any source of light to come within his control. He is fed via an automated IV drip and may be spoken to by auditory means only.
Equipment:
- Various Knives & Blades
- A Notepad & Pencil
- Bottled Mineral Water
Powers:
Hard-Light Manipulation
Aster has the ability to solidify photons to create what is known as Hard-Light with the level of solidity going from loose jello to metal-like hardness. With this ability he can create Photokinetic Constructs that fall under three categories: Shields, Lances or Vectors.
- Shields act, as their name implies, as blocking constructs. Though they can also be used to crush objects either between two constructs or a singular construct and another object of similar or greater hardness. They can be destroyed by way of blunt or penetrative force, providing that the object used is harder than the construct. The larger the construct is, the weaker it becomes.
- Lances can be any form of penetrative tip construct as well being serrated on it's edges. The photons generally tend to be very densely packed within these constructs, making them the hardest of the three categories and significantly harder to destroy.
- Vectors are tentacular-like constructs, they can range from various lengths and thicknesses but generally, the longer the construct the thinner it becomes. They can be used for lashing or restraining as well as for mobility purposes.
Weakness:
- Dark places where light isn't easily able to penetrate into.
- Darkness-based abilities.
- The amount of light particles in Aster's vicinity dictate the size and strength of the constructs he can create. (His powers become limited at night)
Skills/Talents:
- His skill with bladed items is rather refined after his many years as a member of several violent gangs.
- He can draw considerably well and tends to keep a notepad & pencil on his person in event of sudden inspiration.
- He is charismatic and charming when he needs to be and uses these talents to talk his way out of a wide range of situations.
