In this form he is fully noticed as the Deity of Water, His torso naked and the sides where his ribcages would be drenched with water and moving gills. His obsidian black hair draping behind the gills that replace his ears, tinted with black lines across their surface. Under his solar plexus, a long robe tied around his form, a black kimono, covers his genitals. His Mediterranean-blue eyes show the murky waters when deeply looked into; like the crystal ball of a witch.

Centres of Worship/Places of Power: He is at his most powerful inside the water, being in the place deemed the name 'Atlantis', one of his beautiful creations before the violence had gone on.

Servants, Prominent Followers and Worship Base: Underwater, inhumane persons worship him, and rarely people on the surface world worship him. Atlantis though, stretches outward long into land, revealing a second Atlantis, a city of the ground for the over 1,000 people that worship him at the time. They worship him by setting fire into a golden bowl and cutting their arm to let blood sink into the flames. This is to state that since he gave them water, they must give back, also. The king of the surface Atlantis has many prophets, seven, at the least, that predict when Aestus' wrathful intent will wash over the land.

The king of the surface Atlantis follows the rules and is guided by Aestus.. he can be overthrown by any time. The king of Atlantis is binded to Aestus by a chain, his soul being taken, this was the price for ruling over a giant city.

Psychology: He enjoys the screaming of his enemies, and loves to torture them. Blood pleases him, usually, he will dip his digits into the blood and lick it all off his phalanx. Blood curdling screams to him is but a lullaby to soothe him into a slumber. Though, the things that drive him almost insane is when waters, or his sea creatures are harmed by surface dwellers. This explains why he hates most of them so much, he thinks of them as flawed beings.

History: Unbeknownst to Aestus, The Sea Erudite, he was created by the past Deity of water, who was one of the oldest gods to exist, before the anarchy over the throne. This old deity had stayed behind, forgotten by most of his followers, and brother and sister deities. With his own blade, he removed himself as soon as the King of The Gods Aroesus was slain, failing to grab the throne of Aroseus and commit suicide. 

Before he destroyed himself, he had created another to be in his place. He hoped, before his death, that this new one would be better than him, and could bare the weight of his brothers and sisters going against eachother. Though, Aestus could really care less about them, he just wants the throne for himself. The sea was destroyed with the older Sea God, but reborn and anew with Aestus; The Water Erudite. Growing quickly with the unusual blue skin, he then, out of loneliness, created the fishmen and sea creatures. Some would call them 'Mermaids' Or 'Mermen' But in all reality, they are simply blue skinned people..

They have enhanced strength and speed, and can control the waters at a maximum. There is a whole family of them within Atlantis. The people of Atlantis, fishermen, had grew out of control. The seas had began to storm about the land to create typhoons of water that destroyed some of the surface world. Aestus, to this point, cared for his people at the time. Though he was forced to show them who the creator and king still was, by destroying half of Atlantis and sending them into demise by killing some of their children.

Remaking Atlantis, soon the fishermen began to live in fear under him. Though within time most of the fear faded, though, he could promise you, there would be no more. When he heard the news of the king of the gods was dethroned and removed from this world, he immediately came to the surface world and to the Heavens to begin slashing through his competition.

Relationships:
He enjoys blood and water, along with his fishermen worshiping with the surface land worshipers. Things that give him power are simply blood and water and other liquids within the area.

Extra Information: The Sea God before him, Esta, was of course the Father that created him, this being unknown to Aestus. Aestus stood as one of the strongest yet most unknown Gods, the number of his worshipers wagered, none feared him, because he was seen as the only 'soft' but ''powerful'' deity. Back then everything was simply fine, he stood where he stood, next to the King Of The Gods, Aroseus.. for a time. Esta knew of the plans of him to be slayn, and of course, he wanted it to happen.

Father like son, he decided that he wanted and needed the throne. Though he could not do it, the unexpected bloodshed and outroar from the other deity sent him to be hidden away within the seas, where he eventually used half of his essence to create a new Sea God, Aroseus, and eventually destroy himself with his sword.
