Aster has the ability to manipulate his own Mana in its purest form which he calls; Pure Mana. Over the course of a few centuries of training, Aster's Pure Mana actually shows itself as a blue flame-like essence due to its sheer density. He uses his Pure Mana to shield and reflect most other forms of Mana which may be directed towards him. For instance, an Explosion-type attack would be shielded initially before being reflected back towards its' origin, though the reflected spell would be considerably weaker than the original. Illusions would have a weakened effect, being unable to simply pass through the density of his Pure Mana. Low level Illusions would be easily reflected back towards their origin, though they would have little effect against the one casting them. Aster may also choose to focus solely on shielding or reflecting Mana. - When focusing on shielding, Aster may increase the area that is being shielded in a dome-like manner, essentially being able to protect an area the size of the Academy from magical attacks for a limited time. - When focusing on reflecting, Aster completely foregoes his shield in order to return spells back toward their origin almost instantly.[/i][/color] [color=662d91][b]Alchemia Magic:[/b][/color] [color=#A4A4A4][i]Another rare form of magic, discovered and developed by Aster whilst teaching at Hikari Ryodan Academy. After mastering how to manipulate his own Pure Mana, Aster discovered that you could change the properties of all Mana. Based on the fact that Mana contained far more properties which could be altered in its' pure form than it did after it had been used to cast spells. As such, Aster has theoretically invented a way to change the density of Mana in his surrounding area, essentially strengthening or weakening spells by injecting his own Mana into a spell or withdrawing the Mana from it. Practically, however, Aster has only been able to inject his own Pure Mana into other spells, strengthening them. He has not yet found a way to withdraw Mana, an issue which has remained a mystery to him.[/i][/color] [h3]Other[/h3] [color=662d91][b]Personality:[/b][/color] [color=#A4A4A4][i]Nonchalant - As a teacher at Hikari, Aster is rather laid back when it comes to teaching. He refuses to become agitated by those who are not willing to learn or better themselves and only dedicates his efforts to those who try. The prospect of failure never bothers him, as he believes failure is just another hurdle one must overcome. His many years of experience have shown him that nothing is truly worth overworking yourself for. Perverted - Like the old man that he truly is, Aster is secretly perverted. However, his young looking appearance does a lot to help him out where women are concerned. And although he is not as vivacious in his attempts to woo women or 'catch-the-odd-glimpse' as most other perverts, he most certainly will take up the odd opportunity to sate his debauchery tastes whenever he can. Above all, four-hundred years has blessed Aster with the uncanny ability to guess the age of nearly every female he comes across and, so long as they are of the legal age, he can quite often correctly guess their various measurements.[/i][/color] [color=662d91][b]Backstory:[/B][/color] [color=#A4A4A4][i]One of the few remaining Demon Princes born of the Demonic Realms, a sub-race of Demon who have proven themselves far more intelligent and civilized than the majority of their cousins. He came to the Earthen Realm hoping to study more about the properties of Mana and thus traveled to the only place where he'd heard would help him find the answers he sought: Hikari Ryodan Academy. Upon arriving, he requested to be able to study in solitude, stating that he had no intention of teaching kids. His request was denied, being told that he would only be allowed to stay at the Academy if he became a teacher, he accepted begrudgingly. During his time at the Academy, Aster finished an extensive thesis on his findings of Mana entitled, 'Properties of Mana: The Force Behind Magic.' His studies into Mana has garnered him popular renown throughout the world of magic. [/i][/color] [color=662d91][b]Classes:[/b][/color] [color=#A4A4A4]- Demonology 101: [i]A Study of the World's Most Misunderstood Race[/i] - Mana Manipulation 101: [i]Managing Mana[/i] - Mana Manipulation 201: [i]Advanced Study & Combat Application[/i] [/color] [color=662d91][b]Trivia:[/b][/color] [color=#A4A4A4][i]- Aster is addicted to candy, specifically lollipops. He makes sure to carry at least three on his person at all times. - Whenever he isn't busy teaching students, studying new theories about Mana or interacting with his fellow teachers, Aster will often hide himself away to play Pocket Monster mobile games. - He is currently one of the world's leading experts on the study of Mana.[/i][/color] [hider=Sample] [color=662d91][b]"Don't move!"[/b][/color] Aster's voice silenced the boisterous class. He had initially tasked them with trying to develop their personal Mana into a visible state, much-like his own blue flames. It was proving to be far more difficult than he'd anticipated, especially given that this was his Advanced Study Class. Like him, this collective of students had all been enthralled by the idea of studying Mana. A fact that had excited him to no end, given that more than a few of his colleagues had long grown tired of Aster's numerous and frenzied outbursts about some new theory regarding the properties of Mana and how it could be applied. With these kids he was able to discuss and expand upon his passion; Mana. His furor expelled within these classes, however, often gave rise to a certain level of competition amongst his students, especially those from this particular 201 class. Which, more often than not, resulted in many a heated debate and certainly more than one fireball launched across the class room in anger or jealousy. This happened to be one of those instances. But rather than scolding the two students who had, mere moments ago, been exchanging spiteful expletives followed by spells, Aster stood behind his desk, eyes wide with bewilderment and an expression of elation. Amongst the spat between two of his students, Aster had, by pure coincidence, stumbled across the perfect testing conditions for his theory regarding the withdrawal of Mana from an existing spell. Where one student had launched a medium-sized fireball across the room toward the target of his anger, another student in her defense of the target had managed to stop the ball of flames in mid-air. Had he not momentarily glanced up from his latest Pocket Monster game to witness the erupting argument, the scene in front of him may have passed as quickly as it had begun. [color=662d91][b]"This. Is. [i]Perfect[/i]."[/b][/color] He whispered, holding his hands out as if to freeze everyone in their place. The students suddenly realized the look of excitement on his face, rather than anger, and decided to roll with it. Aster regarded the girl, who was still maintaining her force-field around the fireball that had stopped it initially. [color=662d91][b]"Keep it going for as long as you can."[/b][/color] He said, nodding with approval. She struggled to answer with a hampered nod of her own. Clearly the act of stopping the spell in the first place had taken a lot out of her and maintaining her field was continuing to drain her Mana reserves at an alarmingly fast rate. He would not have long to act. He reached towards the floating embers with his right hand and began to extend his own Mana towards it, invisible at first but he soon decided to raise the density to allow his students to witness what he was attempting to do. This would be a learning opportunity for them all. His Mana flickered and lashed out at the orange flames suspended in mid-air. He could sense the two separate types of Mana that were already present in the air; the force-field's and the fireball's. Aster attempted to envelope his Mana around the ball of fire and, as he did so, he could feel the blue and orange flames start to reach out towards each other as if attracted like magnets. It was only brief and the feeling soon drifted away before his Mana began pouring itself into the fireball, strengthening it. [color=662d91][b]"No, no, no!"[/b][/color] He growled. Before he could retract his Mana, however, the force-field gave out and the girl fainted. Horror quickly became Aster's expression as the enhanced fireball flashed across the room. He tried to release his Mana in order to cast a shield but he wouldn't make it in time. [color=662d91][b]"GET DOWN!"[/b][/color] He yelled, diving towards his students to protect them in a last-ditch effort. If not for the caster directing it upward into the ceiling at the last moment, Aster was certain someone would have died. He had been fortunate that the explosion of ceiling and the resulting collapse of the floor above had not caused any serious injuries. Even so, he was about to be in for the ass-chewing of his life.
