Asterion Kairo

Jumper | 27 | Male | 6'3" | 185.0


Goal: Pleasure. Satisfaction. A challenge. Something that isn't boring. 

Secrets: 
❇︎ Aesterion's true identity (most of the time but no one can truly know, right?). 

❇︎ Has an extreme soft spot for children which he tries not to show. 

❇︎ He killed his mother by jumping into her before the police got to their home. 
Fears: 
❇︎ Klara or Jax being in any form of danger. 

❇︎ That he won't be able to keep "paradise" alive forever. 

❇︎ Dying before he can make sure everything will get better without him. 
History: 
The self-pity of a household was suffocating at best as two narcissistic parents found themselves not even interested in each other but the drugs that ran through their system... so... so interested that they forgot about their children. At least the government barely did anything. Aesterion was the oldest of his siblings, sadly, since he remembered when his parents were not so selfish. Standing there, the fourteen year old was playing with the wire of a phone, and his voice was too familiar with the whole situation. 

"Yes, I am sorry that I am calling again, but I need a medical team at my house. I live on North 93rd Street, right on the corner of Abbet. My mother isn't responding and I think she is overdosing on something... again."

The boy's anxiety wasn't recognizable in his voice though in his twitchy behaviors. His fingers twirled, twirled, and twirled on the cord that was attached to the wall to the point where his one finger was becoming red before turning darker. Cutting off circulation as he stared at his mother lying on the kitchen floor in her mixture of drunken and drug struck state. Where was dad? Probably fooling around with floozies on the corner again. Drunk off his ass in an alleyway? 

His dark eyes was beginning to change, pink, and he was wishing for more than this. For more. Why couldn't he be selfish? As selfish or even more selfish than his parents? He wanted more for himself than this. There was nothing more than what he wanted than his parents to die. They just needed to die. They needed to stop tormenting him and his siblings. Couldn't they see that they were making the family suffer? Suffer daily for what? A moment of pleasure or bliss from reality? It disgusted him but at the same time he was feeling absolutely nothing as he heard the beeping static of the phone. 

"I hope they don't get here in time." he whispered as his blank eyes stared at his mother's unmoving body. 
... 

... 

...

That was the last time he saw his mother. There was nore memory of the sheet they threw over her lifeless body or how they dealt with the whole ordeal. Him and his two little siblings were pushed into a vehicle and they were being taken away by a very nice woman named Miss Klooney. She was very nice. Too nice in his opinion. He had no words for her though his little siblings wanted to talk. All of that blurred as he watched the movements outside of the window. People, places, and everything else passing by as he began to smile a little. Just the littlest curve to his inner lips. Finally. 

Aesterion looked at the woman, "I love your hair," he smiled which seemed to be off putting to her as the car was slowing down. 

"Oh, thank you," she smiled more forcefully at him than his little siblings. 

"I'm sorry," he spoke out more seriously as if something switched in him like a light flicking off. 

She seemed to become concerned as she looked at him. His eyes reflecting a pinkish-color before a zap of light overtook the car for a split second. Within a blink of an eye it was gone. Aesterion's body laid lifelessly in the chair and Miss Klooney grinned as the car's breaks slammed because the driver was going to investigate. 

Aesterion sat his own body up right to make it look like he was sleeping as the driver got out and opened the door, "Is everything alright, Miss Klooney?" 

"Yes, perfectly fine. Thank you, I accidentally turned my phone flashlight on," the tight-curly haired woman shook her phone slightly with a charming smile against her darker skin. The driver seemed perfectly fine with that response without realizing that Miss Klooney was shoved into the back of her head and was trapped. Trapped while Asterion took over the reins. Her mind was so weak, she was so easy to take over, and it was perfect. 

For the next two weeks, Aesterion hid his body in the closet of the woman's apartment as he figured out how to fool the system and get his siblings into better homes. His little brother was adopted by a middle class family that seemed good while his sister went into the hands of a very rich and wealthy family. It was weird to give each of them a kiss on their foreheads and tell them that he will always love them and watch over them while he was in the middle aged woman's body but he wanted Klara and Jax to know that he would always love them and always try to protect them. 

When their adoptions were official, he went back into his original body, and stood over Miss Klooney. "Thank you for being so weak-minded. I appreciate it," he did his best to prop her up in her bed and make her look as comfortable as possible. "You might have a migraine. I found your anti-headache medicine so it's right here on your nightstand with a glass of water," he spoke to her as if he cared. He did a little bit. She helped him get what he wanted. His siblings safe and him out of his parents home.

Aesterion decided to leave not long after that so Miss Klooney wouldn't wake up to him. That day he stepped out of the apartment, he knew that he could make a living for himself by body jumping. Maybe he could make it better for other people by using his powers... just maybe he could make it better for Klara and Jax. 


Alliance: Mafia Boss 
District: Nickle 
The most notable buildings in this district are: 

The Jax and Klara Hotel which is a grand building with eccentric designs and overall a very classy and elegant aesthetic. 

Kairo Academy the educational establishment that he set in place to make the future better. Hopefully. No one chooses to be born into Nocturnia but people can choose to make it better. Something him and his siblings were not given. Not a chance. 

North Nickle Police Station and Sheriff's Office which is funded plenty by Mister Kairo so they leave him alone to a point. He tries his best to get them off his and his people's backs but that isn't always successful. He's pretty sure the Sherrif is obsessed with him... constantly trying to do official investigations and interrogations. 

Echo Chamber is the large and popular nightclub in the Nickel district. It's own by Mister Kairo and there is a bar, a large lounge, a place to eat, a large dance floor, V.I.P. areas, private rooms, and strippers. It's a night club and this is the main source of income for him and his district. 

Kairo Skyscraper is where Mister Kairo tends to be found and tends to work. When he is not in his actual body, his body can be found somewhere in his office. Behind a secret door and in a safety capsule so no one can ruin it or permanently kill his body. 


Gyft: Imprint
Aesterion has an ability that lets him imprint on people, physically, so he can jump in and out of people's body at will. This allows him to appear, sound, and reach into the memories of that individual. Taking control of that individual. 

Limitations & weaknesses

❇︎ Aesterion needs to be looking into the person's eyes so he can jump into their body (sunglasses, blind folds, darkness, or anything that makes it so he cannot see someone's eyes makes it so he cannot jump in and out of them).

Asterion has an energy limit to his ability. He has a capacity of 60 for energy that renews after every new day (time skip) or after a stated night of sleep. Using the d12 in the already established mechanics, upon successful rolls for entering someone's body, Asterion takes the amount of the other individuals roll (e.g., -# to his energy amount) and upon every successful roll of staying in that person's body, Asterion loses energy for fighting that individual which is another d12 amount (e.g., -# to his energy bar). 

The description above is for Players and non-player characters. 

Animals have a slightly different decrease for his energy. They are easier to fight off so whatever their d12 rolls are cut in half before decreasing the number amount from his energy reservoir. 

Upon reaching 0 or an energy level that cannot withstand the fight. Asterion will be forced out of the player or non-player character. If Asterion tries to jump into someone but does not have the energy, he will fail (e.g., Asterion has an energy level of 5, rolls a 10, and the potential host rolls a 6. He cannot jump into them successfully). 

❇︎ His empty body can slowly heal from wounds if he's not in it. It's an empty vessel so it will begin to weave itself back together. It can not heal limbs back onto it and it cannot recover from decapitation. If he is able to jump out of his body during a fatal wound, it will begin to heal once it is out, but he can definitely lose his birth body which is why he's barely ever in it and keeps it in a safety capsule. 

❇︎ When he is in someone else's body, he is sharing, and he can hear them in their own head. It's annoying and he cannot turn them off but he can zone them out or choose to ignore them. The weaker someone is, the easier that is to do. 

❇︎ Individuals that are strong-minded or able to black Aesterion out can keep him out of their body so he cannot jump into them. 

❇︎ Jumping into someone with abilities makes for chaos. Some are easier to control than others. That has been and still is a learning process for the man. Everyone is different and so is their abilities. 

❇︎ People can learn how to block him out from jumping into them. It is possible or they can wear shades around him. Either way.

❇︎ If Aesterian is in another body, he has to be in the same city as his original body. It's better for him to be in the same city block (roughly a 1,000 radius around his body). 

❇︎ Across the board, when Asterion jumps out or is forced out of a body. An individual will be confused/turned around from the sudden disembodiment. This usually gives him enough time to get away but things happen! 

Mechanics

❇︎ 1d12 versus 1d12. If your character rolls higher on a 1d12 than Asterion, he cannot jump into them for 3 written posts. He can experience consequences from his 1d100 list upon failure as well. 

❇︎ 1d12 versus 1d12. If Asterion is in your character, you are able to roll 1d12 versus 1d12 with him. If you beat his 1d12. He's forced out of your characters body. He can experience consequences from his 1d100 list as well. 

❇︎ 1d100; if Asterion is not in his own body. The writer of Asterion will roll a 1d100 to determine what happens to him and/or the body. Disclaimer, nothing bad can happen to the body if it's a players body unless the player accepts. This is mainly for NPCs/unnameable/throw aways.
