Astraeus Diamond | 963 | Male | Faerie
Sexuality: Bisexual
Pronouns: He/Him
Role: Elder Faerie
Appearance: Despite his age, Astraeus appears to be a middle-aged man. His hair is long, reaching to his elbows, and silvery-white, usually tied back in an elaborate braid. His eyes are light grey in colour, and he does not seem to have pupils - though he can still evidently see clearly. He is very tall, standing at 6'6'', and has a lithe build that is deceiving of his strength, highlighted by his formal, somewhat rigid posture. Astraeus has a sharp jawline, with defined cheekbones and a slightly pointed chin. He has a very ethereal aura about him. His dark skin tone has swirled markings up his forearms.
Astraeus' wings are large, with a translucent iridescence to them so they don't appear solid, and are shaped much like butterfly wings. He wears a black tunic and trousers, and a dark silver renaissance-like short tailcoat over it, plus silver pauldrons covering both shoulders, or he'll wear a long, white and silver robe. His crown is an elaborate headpiece that looks like branches of the Silver Tree, circled around his forehead and branching up like antlers, and smaller 'branches' reaching just past his temples.
Personality: Gentle, though serious, Astraeus only looks to protect the Faerie Kingdom and its citizens. He remains calm even when faced with danger, and is able to come up with solutions to problems quickly. He does struggle with making tough decisions, especially if all options mean someone gets hurt, but he knows to trust in his heart the right decisions to make. He can be quite stubborn - any decision he makes he will not back down on, even if others disagree with it, especially as he will prioritise the protection of the Silver Tree and the kingdom, even at the expense of his own health. Astraeus is also very wary of outsiders, even being quite cold towards them, but if they prove themselves worthy, then he will warm up to them.
Bio: Astraeus was involved in the war many, many years ago, when the Entities of Darkness first tried to destroy the Faerie Kingdom. With the Five Virtues, he sealed the Entities of Darkness in the Silver Tree, where they have been dormant up until recently, as the protection magic has started to wane. He was chosen as the Elder, leader of the Faerie Kingdom by the tree after that, and the holders of the Five Virtues disappeared. Astraeus soon married another Faerie, Vivianna, whom he'd been in a relationship with since before the war with the Entities. He had two children with her - [oldest heir] and Zenna, the heirs of the Faerie Kingdom. However, after an incurable sickness, his wife died quite some time ago. He has not since considered love, choosing to dedicate himself entirely to the Silver Tree and the Faerie Kingdom after that.
Now, with the Silver Tree weakening, the Entities of Darkness looking to escape and take their revenge, Astraeus looks to find the new holders of the Five Virtues and defend his Kingdom the best he can.
