Continual defeat and catastrophe leads to the feeling of suffocation, like a noose around the neck, choking the fire of life until it is eventually extinguished. Suffering in stagnation cannot be cured aside from the act of being hanged, and so the symbol of Desire is herself as she slowly walks towards that which will heal her. The Aspect of the Hanged One commonly depicts this macabre march towards sacrificing the self and surrendering to the liberating touch of [color=fdc68a][i]strangulation[/i][/color], though this is only one version of this Aspect. [indent]To [color=fdc68a][i]suspend[/i] [/color]the self requires strength to resist the influence of the cosmos and endure mystical [color=fdc68a][i]isolation.[/i][/color] Desire can cut the connections between the material and the otherworldly, severing the ethereal elements that construct sacred change such as communication, imagination and perception. Her presence brings solitude and grants her an aura that [color=fdc68a][i]blinds[/i][/color] others to the world around them, enforcing those afflicted into embracing suffering and strife until the only salve to all of the agony is complete [color=fdc68a][i]suspension[/i][/color] - to be hanged. Only afterwards shall solace be had and all, including herself, may ascend further. However Desire refuses to invert her [color=fdc68a][i]perspective[/i][/color], to comprehend the glimpses that the aspect of the Hanged One offers by altering her position, and thus she is both the epitome and opposite of the Hanged One.[/indent] [indent]As wielder of this Aspect, Desire discovers the prevalence of every step leading towards her hanging, and the act of hanging itself. She can command strength and sight in mortals close to her, guiding them towards blessed asphyxiation by halting the vigorous song and dance of the cosmos. Separating the material and ethereal allows to her lead mortals away from annihilation and corruption, but prevents progress on the Sacred Path described by her mother, which Desire does not actually follow herself. Instead Desire will indulge herself in the defiant cage that she creates and protect the sanctity of life with her own way of attaining serenity, while still struggling just to breath.[/indent] [color=f7976a][b]The Hanged One II.[/b][/color] Hanging requires a [color=fdc68a][i]connection[/i][/color] and through interacting with the [color=fdc68a][i]mysteries of the multiverse[/i][/color] Desire has attained an understanding of how to connect to her [color=fdc68a][i]sacred selves[/i][/color] in the otherworld. She can submerge herself in the sea of shadows, and emerge forth from it with a newfound understanding of who she is by hanging onto the thoughts and memories of herself and others throughout the ever expanding and connecting cosmos. She has finally begun the journey of combining the epitome and opposite halves of her aspect. She still has yet to discover the true potential and capabilities of her aspect as she continues onwards, but she will in time. [center][h2][color=f7976a]Persona[/color][/h2][/center] [indent]She is selfish, and that is an aspect of herself that she embraced, for Desire did not bother to concern herself with that which would not bring her pleasure or benefit her somehow. Neither consistently cruel or benevolent; she knowingly considers herself capricious, changing her attitude and behavior frequently, yet unyielding when coerced by others - it is often very difficult to predict how she will react in various scenarios, which is a factor she enjoys very much. It is solely her love for her family that remains always the same, another aspect of herself that she has accepted with paradoxical feelings which often contradict her way of life.[/indent] [indent]She is the youngest daughter and simulacrum of Anath Homura, but senses the influence of another within her heart causing her to realize that there is a piece of her family that is missing from her life. She has discerned that she differs from her sisters, as her divine heritage is split between two as opposed to coming only from her mother, resulting in a growing distance with her kin as she seeks to uncover who she truly is, and what it means to be divine. There is a yearning to set out on a journey within her, a yearning that she cannot deny herself.[/indent] [indent]Desire ever prominently expresses her emotions in every encounter: She would bite her tongue until it bled, when seething with rage. She would swiftly leap and laugh displaying an abundance of vigor, when brimming with euphoria. She would tremble and her eyes would be wet with profuse tears shimmering with sorrow, when overwhelmed with heartache. She commonly conveys her craving to experience both the mundane and the exotic elements of the world, peering at her surroundings with an inquisitive eye.[/indent] [center][h2][color=f7976a]Musical Theme[/color][/h2] [hider=Song(s)] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXkbGCnF7i8&ab_channel=LeeandLie%28AmaLee%29[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmJ5oBdJTXQ&ab_channel=LeeandLie%28AmaLee%29[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZt48KAzDS0&ab_channel=MidnightLullaby[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAtDrFdomN4&ab_channel=NeilYoung-Topic[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcC3rYEZv9o&ab_channel=LeaSalonga-Topic[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8X4YyOlgys&ab_channel=TKfromLingtositesigure-Topic[/youtube] [/hider][/center] [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Anath Homura] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/JYRdVZc.png[/img][/center] [color=DC143C][h1][center][b]Anath Homura[/b][/center][/h1][/color] [i][color=B22222][h3][center][b]The Creatrix[/b][/center][/h3][/color][color=B22222][h3][center][b]The Red Goddess of Rebellion[/b][/center][/h3][/color][color=B22222][h3][center][b]The Highest Judge[/b][/center][/h3][/color][/i] [center][color=f7941d][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBS0LrD1EdQ&ab_channel=Ani_Where%F0%9F%87%B5%F0%9F%87%AD]Theme I[/url] - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLdNfMoFaFw&ab_channel=LyricZealot]Theme II[/url] - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8ZcIfLDUo&ab_channel=TheSleepyGamer]Theme III[/url][/color][/center] [hr] Homura is a self-proclaimed divine warrior set against the insidious poison that she pontificates has been poured into the decanter of creation. She seeks out the sinful and executes justice, often with a trial of combat. She is inspired by the struggles of mortals, and finds those that deserve redemption, and guides them on their journeys of sacred transformation. She protects the faithful from the avarice of the perverted and the fiendish. Homura exuberates conviction with every word and action, and is unwavering in her commitment to upholding her honor and the honor of the world around her. She becomes easily ashamed by any form of mistake or moment of weakness she considers sinful, and can easily lose herself in a quest to restore her honor, ignoring any and all detriments she may suffer along the way. Her anger is easily assuaged by promises of atonement and simple praise, though she only reveals her more gentle characteristics to those that have earned her trust.
