History: "I remember when we lost them." the brute's resonating voice bounced from the walls of the cave, echoing off into nothingness while his ears gently moved forward to capture any sound his sister made. "We were young, very young. And they... They fought so bravely, so hard, to keep our innocent eyes from the bloodshed outside." His eyes flickered, suddenly lost in the memories clashing through his head, slamming tears into his eyes that he fought so hard to keep back. He wouldn't cry yet, she needed to know what happened. "There was this group of lions, fire, death, earth... They attacked us, I guess mom and dad were on their land and they didn't like it. Mom refused to move us when we were so young, so we all hid. Dad hunted in the dead of night, kept us all fed and warm, but... They scented him." The indigo male's voice broke, causing him to pause and take a deep breath before he continued. "They came just as dad left, sneaky lions... Mom had gone out for a breath of fresh air, and they ambushed her. Her screams... as they.." He shook his head, violently, eyes shut tightly for a moment. "She was on fire. They lit her on fire. But mom, she fought anyway, even as flames licked at the beautiful set of wings she held so proudly on her shoulders." Maro dug his claws into the stone as if holding onto the present, as if he feared talking about the awful memory would drag him backwards in time to that day. "Dad heard her, he charged in with his head down to use his horns like battering rams. He distracted them long enough for mom to retreat back into the den and take you. She ran with you, and I tried to follow. She took you to a path, a well beaten path, and placed you under a tree snug in its roots before she charged back. She hadn't noticed me following her. Her fur.. so beautiful, so soft, was black and charred, her skin read and angry. They broke one of her wings, and it hung awkwardly as she charged back for me. I ran after her again, I knew you were safe, but I had this urge to help them." He sighed, folding his indigo ears back once more. "She was too late to save dad, and the second they saw her... she was gone too, just like that. The lions, they laughed, checked our den, and left. I-I tried everything I could think of, but they wouldn't wake up, and just got colder. Once I realized they wouldn't be coming back I dug them graves. It took forever, and my legs, claws, and paws ached by the time I was done, but they wouldn't be left out to rot. After I buried them, I came to find you, but, you were gone. I curled u among the roots, tears in my eyes, and wept until my body couldn't stay awake anymore, and I was asleep." Maro drew a shuttering breath, casting his gaze to his paws. "I woke up in the den of an odd lion with a red nose, he said his name was par, and that he had rescued me. I stayed with him, was there when he returned to the pride. We were happy, like father and son." -WIP, sorry if it's bad so far-

Relationship with Eos: Loves his sister to death. Would do anything for her. -WIP-

[NizoLuv]

Username: NizoLuv
Name: Astraeus (aeS-TREY-ahS)

Greek; Of the Stars (astraios)
Gender: Male
Element: Death
" A lion with the gift of death can: Kill anything they touch, create crippling wounds, can visit the dead or see dead souls"

He doesn't actually like his element. He sees it more as a burden he had to learn to control. He doesn't hate it or fear it anymore. He's come to terms with his powers and wishes to never actually have to use them on anyone but it's not like he doesn't know how to.







Moveset:




Death Breath *:Forces an Opponent to breathe in a deadly fume-like shadow emitted from the Caster's mouth. Target must be rendered still or pinned down. Not instant.

Field Projection: Can emit a field around a small area, usually around the Caster's body, that can cause harm to any opposing living forces. The longer one is exposed the harsher the effects. Cannot cause fatal injuries.

Infusion: Can infuse the armor of the Caster or Target with a deathly essence. Will cause small amount of damage to Opponents with each physical impact. Cannot cause fatal injuries.

Complete Wipe: Kill an entire team. INCOMPLETE. Can only be accomplished with the help of other Death Elementals of similar or higher skills.

Rot Inducement*: Can cause the Target(s) flesh or armor to rot with physical contact. The more an area is touched, the damage increases.

Death Prediction: The Castor is able to sense the coming of death or if others have died in a specific location. If the dead's emotions are strong, the Castor may be able to see the faces of those that have died.

Death Wave: Caster can create a wave of killing energy that engulfs the Target(s). Kills within seconds of being casted but causes the Caster to feel dazed, fatigued, and possibly hallucinate. INCOMPLETE. Will never be used.



* - Effects can only be reversed or healed by skilled Life Elementals.
Healing or reversing of wounds or effects depends on the amount of time since it was first inflicted.






Rank: Cub Trainer









Personality:


Discretion
He often thinks before he talks or acts, trying to ease his way around things as quickly and effectively as he can without a cause for more questions. He doesn't like others snooping into his life, as it has nothing to do with them in the long run. He's a very personal and secretive type of guy.
Gentleness
If others have the time to notice, they'll see he does care for others, be they Pride lions or not. He's very soft with his words around cubs and those that seem nervous around him and never uses serious force on cubs, even in training.
Patience
When dealing with cubs, you have to be patient. He's willing to wait until his students quiet down (which he's learned to do since cubhood, with such a lively sibling around.) His patience emotionally has grown stronger over the decades as well. He isn't so quick to snap at others without fair reason to.
Attentive
Astraeus is always watching and listening to the conversations around him. Most of the time it isn't intentionally, and very little information interests him. It's an "in one ear and out the other" kind of thing. When dealing with cubs as a career, you need to be able to watch them all without actually watching them.
Calm
Some would say he's more stiff than caml, but Astraeus knows what it means to lose yourself from your emotions. He's suffered so much in a split second. He does his best to keep a level head and takes command over his emotions, though he does still feel them.
Careful
Does he tiptoe around things? Yes. He doesn't wish to hurt anyone or cause them any emotional turmoil. He does his best to not upset or talk about anything they may be sensitive about, if he knows.
Encouraging
One may not know unless you're a cub. Astraeus hands out words of encouragement, or even silence, if that's what they need, on the daily. He doesn't wish for any of his students to second guess themselves or feel worthless or powerless. If he could overcome his struggles, they could do 10x better.
Guilty
He's always guilty about his past, but now it isn't completely eating at him. He wishes he could go back in time and change things. Prevent himself from doing what he did, but he knows nothing can change the past and to let it be.
Mysterious
The only ones he actually spends time with are cubs. Much of the Pride know little to nothing about him and he intends to keep it that way. There may be some who may have known his parents, but he tends to avoid meeting or talking to them.
Stingy
He's very possessive of his things. A great example would be his sister in their younger days. He would always fight or chase off any male cubs that showed any interest in her, no matter how much. He isn't too keen on sharing.
Stubborn
Astra isn't a fan of listening to others suggestions or ideas if they contradict his own interest or views.
Sweet
Astraeus is very loving and sweet towards the cubs in the pride, be they his students or not. He doesn't care much about the rest of the Pride, but he wants the cubs to like him, at least.
Tolerant
He's willing to listen to another lion's beliefs without criticizing them, even if he does disagree with them, which is usually the case anyways with his current standpoint.
Trustworthy
He feels like other's don't trust him due to his sudden reappearance, but he doesn't let that affect him. If he promises something or says he'll get something done, he'll do his best to do it.
Wise
He's wise emotionally, though not so much with the Pride and Rebels. He knows heartache and will do his best to help others that are suffering from similar issues and to help prevent such things from happening. He'll lecture his students on life lessons rather than their element or physically skills from time to time.






As a cub, Astraeus stayed by his sister's side. He was very protective and supportive of his only littermate. Though he was never seen interacting, let alone, playing with any of the Pride's cubs, he was always happy and willing to go alone with his sister's whims and games, as long as they wouldn't endanger her in the process. He was quick to scold her if she planned something dangerous or against their parents' rules. He was quick to anger when it came to other cubs, often snapping and fighting others if they tried to bully or criticize his sister.

After some time, he kept his distance from Eos so she could play and socialize without the others worrying about him. He didn't mind, as long as his sister was happy and gleeful like always. He'd often some to her defence or take the blame for things when it came to their parents. He didn't love them like most do. They were always hard on Eos (he knew it was for her own good, but it was unnecessary) and their loyalty to the Pride was too strong.

After he had left, he was broken. He was weak emotionally and mentally. He went from anger to tears in the blink of an eye. He struggled to get a hold of himself for years. His sister's smile and laughter always brought him back and it finally gave him enough strength to fight his own fears and guilt and become something better than he was. He toughened himself up. No longer flipflopping between the extremes and the nightmares lessened. He was a stronger version of his past self now.

As an adult, Astraeus has a much more stoic personality than he did was a cub. He isn't as open with his emotions or quick to jump into fights and arguments like he was in his youth. Whether he agrees or not, he'll keep his remarks to himself unless the other party's views or words may endanger them or the Pride. Astra isn't one to go out of his way to please others, but he also doesn't want to give them any reason to distrust him, even though he probably doesn't trust a lot of the lions here himself.

He isn't fond of of lions that are extreme in their loyalty to the Pride or Rebel forces. He'll do his best to avoid interacting with them as best he can. But it's not like he hates the Pride in its entirety; true, he returned in the small chance his sister may return here someday. But he feels like he can help improve the futures of the next generation, if only by a little bit, with his teachings. Of course, he's a little selfish in this decision. Since he lost his sister so early, he misses the prime of his youth and thinks he can at least experience or relive some small parts of it by being around these cubs.

He looks pretty unapproachable, always wearing a scowl expression, he's not as mean as his looks perceive. Cute cubs make him melt internally and he loves to spend as much of his day with them. He has a soft heart for the things and the lions he loves, it can be a little hard to see it, but it's there. His students know, and know they can get away with chewing on him or climbing all over him while he's resting somewhere. He can be found playing with his students, often using the excuse of "training them" when someone comes along to ask him what he's doing.

When it comes to relationships, he's extremely inexperienced, never having relationships other than with his family. Now, he isn't actively making an effort to befriend others, since he really doesn't have an interest to. But he won't shut down anyone that does happen to talk to him unless it's someone he just straight up doesn't wish to deal with. He's not the type to ignore someone for no good reason. Romance is totally not in his mind. He's never thought about it and still doesn't. He's too worried about his sister, and probably won't stop until he learns if she's alive or not. He loves cubs, but doesn't see himself having any of his own any time in the future.

He isn't the type to lie either. If he said he's gonna do something, he's gonna do it, and if something happens where he can't, he'll be sure to let the other part know as soon as he can. However. He will avoid answering questions or be very vague with his answers if it's something he can't say or do. If he's told not to share a piece of information, he won't, unless again, it endangers the Pride or the Lion giving him the information.














History:


Their parents loved the Pride more than they seems to love their cubs, Astraeus knew that, but didn't care much about it. Him and his sister were taken care of, cared for, and weren't mistreated. At this time, the Pride was just starting to divide, or at least, this was when they first noticed the divide. Their parents were so focused and worried about the pride that they were actively attempting to trade their daughter to rival groups for useful information against them. Astraeus knew they weren't expecting much from their daughter. They often got after her for little things that meant nothing. Astra didn't like that part of them. They both looked down on Scouts, even though they were both simply pride members. Maybe, they were envious of their daughter, for having a trait they didn't.

It was stupid and he hated it. He couldn't do anything about it, no matter how many times he played it out in his head.

Surely they probably figured "she wouldn't be of use to them anyways" and didn't see anything wrong in their decision. They most likely thought it was a plan worth the praise of the Leader and the rest of the Pride. Blinded by baseless faith to the Pride they contributed nothing to. They went to meet with a messenger from the rebel group. Astraeus ended up running into them when he was exploring while his sister slept. He found it suspicious and of course, had to listen in, wondering what his parents were doing with should a shady lion. Astra found out their plans and after the other lion left, he leaped out yelling and hissing at them, asking why they were doing this and what could possibly see the benefit in. They pushed him aside, telling him to stay in his place and to do what they tell him to do without question. He argued them, getting more and more hysterical the more his parents fought back, saying they were right. that this would be the best for her and us.

They were liars. They just wanted to be recognized without lifting a paw. Stupid...

Finally in a fit of rage whilst arguing with them, Astraeus powers came forth in his anger. His body grew cold, his fur pricking up. He shut his eyes tight trying to keep his feelings in check. His mother spoke, but he couldn't hear what she said. "YOU WON'T TAKE HER FROM ME!!!!" he roared, a black shadow rushing towards his parents. The tried to run, but the shadow was too fast and they tumbled and their legs were engulfed in black. They screamed as their legs twisted and contorted below them, causing them to drop to the ground. Astra was too upset, too riled up by his emotions and his powers to hear their screams and their pleads for him to stop. He watched them as the shadow slowly covered their bodies, the sounds of bone and flesh snapping, breaking, and tearing out of place. Tears were forming as he watched, slowly shaking his head in disbelieve. He did this to them. There they were, distorted, disfigured, and distressingly, their eyes staring back at Astra, fear, pain, and hatred mixed in their expression.

It wasn't long until the Pride was notified of the screams and soon a scouting party was sent out to search for the source. In fear, disgust and shock, Astraeus ran. He ran far and he ran hard, his vision blurred from his tears and the bile forming in his throat. He didn't think about his sister until he was far away from the Pride and her. He wasn't sure about the way back and he was too scared to return to look for his sister while lions from the Pride were searching the area for the culprit after they find the bodies. But out of everything, he feared what his sister would think about him killing their parents the most out of everything.

Astraeus didn't want the possibility of her hating him to become a reality. He left without ever seeing her again. He struggled with nightmares of their parent's deaths, of her horrified expression upon learning the truth...his own death. The possibility of it happening again to someone else, and even worse, his own sister. He roamed the lands outside of the Pride's control and struggled and pained to control his powers and his mind. Years went by. All the while he was training himself and keeping his eyes and ears open for his sister.

After a century the guilty of abandoning his sister was eating at him enough to start searching for her full time. He traveled around, asking lions if they saw her or knew of anything. Nothing, obviously. He decided to return to the pride, hoping everything settled down and no one was looking for him. He'd risk everything to find his sister, even if he no longer remembered her name or her face.

He'd returned to the pride after hearing about some mysterious events playing out lately and that the Rebels have grown bigger and more prominent than they were when he left. By now, he's all but given up on looking for his sister in the last decade, settling on the fact that she's most likely long since been dead. The fact he doesn't remember what she looks like nor her name didn't help his search in the least. Deep down, he's hoping she's alive. Hoping for some miracle but perhaps karma is too strong...

He returned without much of a fuss, other than his refusal of becoming a warrior. Though he had control of his element now, he didn't want to use it on others if he didn't have to. This war wasn't his to fight and he didn't want any part in it. Instead, after some self doubt, he decided to become a cub trainer and help the cubs of the pride to get a grasp of their powers so they won't loss control and do something they may regret like he did.










Relationships:


Pride;

I'd be deceiving everyone if i said i didn't hold any ill feelings towards the Pride. However, I'm not so naive to think everything that had happened in my life can be solely blamed on anyone or anything. The Pride is no exception. I don't feel hatred for the lions but i guess, just the idea. Something here made my parents so desperate to maintain this place that they were willing to sell off my own sister.
Just the fact that there are lions that believe the Pride is above all else strikes me as unbelievable and slightly detestable.

Rebellion;

I won't lie and say i dislike them. I can understand their worries but i disapprove of everything they do. If it wasn't for their poor tactics and violent ways, i may have even sided with them at some point in my life. But i don't believe in using brute force to change something right off the bat, without even discussing or trying to come to an agreement. There may be things i can see eye to eye with but for now, there's little hope that i'll side with them completely.

Unknown Land Dwellers;

I've meet a few of these lions. And i can't say for sure if i like them or not. They're a strange and varied bunch. Their views on Pride lions are many and i must say, they are interesting. I just hope they won't be mistreated or deceived.

The War;

I want nothing with this foolish fight and i refuse to choose sides. I won't betray my feelings and will do what i believe to be right and no not disappoint my dear sister.

Parents;

I trusted them, but that's a feeling i no longer have towards those two. I don't regret their deaths now. Just imagining what would have happened to my sister if i hadn't done what i did still sends shivers down my spine. Have i ever wished for this forgiveness? Many times i have. But i don't seek that reassurance anymore. They no longer have anything to do with my life anymore, nor my dear sister's.


Eos;

She was his beloved little sister. Someone he had to protect at any cost. And it seems, like it was to the cost of their parents lives. He's spent most of his life alone searching for her while gaining control over his powers and his mind. He's stronger emotionally and physically than he was before and thus more able to protect his sister had that time came.

Now he thinks she's dead after his lengthy and unsuccessful search.

However, if he ever finds out she's alive and well, he'll stick to her like glue. He'll be right behind her as often as he can, with the exception of whatever task she's assigned to do. He doesn't wish to get in her way or become a nuisance to her. He'll make sure any male that may be interested in her knows she's off limits. That's his baby sister and he isn't willing to share. He'll become the shadow in her ray of light.


____________________________________________________


Nemilos

This guy reminds me of myself as a cub a bit. His words amuse me as well, mostly the reactions they get from others. I just hope he doesn't push the wrong lion's buttons too much and get himself hurt.

Kaida

I met her upon returning to the pride, and though i wasn't sure about which path i should go, maybe not directly, but she helped me along with my decision.I have much respect for her and I wouldn't mind getting to know her more.

Faustus

This guy is pretty friendly, which is strange, considering who his, partner?, is. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, especially if he can deal with that female. I'm not sure if i'd like to get to know him any better than what little info i already know about him, though.

Ruby

I meet him and his little family on my way back. He seems like a nice guy, more or less. I just hope he doesn't run into any trouble out there.I wouldn't mind talking with him a bit.

Sapphire

Part of Ruby's little group. She seems like a sweet girl that loves her brother earnestly. I'm a nit envious of Ruby but i wish them the best.

Gem

I don't have much to say about this little lady. She peaks my interest, mostly because she's so different. I don't worry about her with Ruby and Sapphire around, I'm sure those two will watch out for her.

Cladocora

I love watching this little one. She's always full of surprises and keeps me guessing, though i worry her words or actions may get her in trouble one day. I don't usually break up physical fights between cubs, but sometimes, for the sake of the other cub, ill step in with this girl.

Baeden

Cladocora's brother, though their personalities aren't very similar. He's a cute kid, but quick to tears. I'm sure he'll grow up to become a strong and capable fighter though. They're both so strong willed, even if you can't see it in him yet.

Eumelia

This girl is a little tricky to me. Im not sure of everything she's thinking, and feel like i need to keep my guard up around her.For some reason, im a little worried for her in the future. I'm not sure why and i know there's no basis for this feeling but i just can't shake it.

Zephyros

I can't relate to this cub's desire to please his Father or the Pride, but I hope he reaches a point in life where it happens. He's a bit quiet but it's a flaw in the least. Sometimes it's good to keep silent and just take in the information around you instead of adding to it.

Inna

A fellow cub trainer, and as odd as it may seem for me, i do like this guy. He cares for his students a lot, and i can tell he truly wants the best for them. I don't try to talk to him much, as it seems like i stress the poor guy out a lot. If the time comes when he isn't so cautious around me, i wouldn't mind holding a conversation or even a joint lesson.

Anatu

Unlike her partner, this girl is a feisty one. She seems quick to confrontations and arguments and doesn't look like she's very true to her own feelings, which is cute. She's very child like, if not a bit vulgar. The Pride would be a bit interesting with her around, thats for sure.

Yitma

Im worried about this kid. I never see him with any of the other Trainers and he always has a dark look about him. Im not sure who his parents are, if he has any, but i'd wish they'd do something about him. I've tried once or twice, but each time i was shot down aggressively.He has a sadness in him i can recognize but i can't do anything about it unless he wants me to.

Hikari

Out of all the lions i know and seen, she's the one i hate the most. I don't trust her scheming eyes or her roaming glares. I do my best to keep my students and other cubs away from her as much as i can. I don't know what she's thinking, and i really don't want to know. I have no idea why she's even in the Pride.


Other;



• Keeps to himself and doesn't like to interact with adult lions if and when he can.
• Returned to the pride, and was appointed as a fighter class warrior but refused.
• Doesn't go out of his way to earn the trust of pride mates. kinda doesn't care.
• When and if he ever finds his sister again, he'll follow her around everywhere.
• Kinda reallly super dense in the romance department. (he's never thought about it tbh)
• Content with the affections of cubs.
• Let's the cubbers climb all over him and chew on him. Whatever they want really.
• total sister complex like omg.
• Mid lesson naps are very important.

*cough*go me look at my awesome art, normally I can't draw for my life XD*cough*

Noctis has a rather cold personality to those he does not know. For those people, he would be described as indifferent and rude, though those who do know him say that he just does not want to get attached. Those he is close with he would give his life to protect. He is still quiet towards those who he is close too, but it is more of a peaceful silence then a awkward one. No matter whom he is with, he is always stern and follows the rules. This, unfortunately, can lead to problem to some others who he works with. His past has led him to be uncomfortable around a lot of people, so he only has one of two close friends on Z-99.

When Noctis was born he had a loving mother and father. Though he cannot remember their faces now, he can remember the very first day he met his baby sister. He knew right then and there it was his job to protect her. As they grew up he continued to watch over her, but right before he started his training rebels killed their parents. He was the one who found them and it destroyed him, he was no longer a happy go lucky cub. When he started training he lost all contact with his sister for her safety, or so he told himself. He still loved her and checked up on her from time to time, but never made himself know. Slowly he saw the memories of him and his parents vanish from her mind. When he was sent to be a prison guard he still kept tabs on Eos. He found out her element was light and it made him happy that it was their mom’s element. After she was placed as a scout and had settled into adulthood he decided he would go see her. It took him 100 more years before he worked up the courage to go and see her. When he got back to the pride no one seemed to remember him, but that was what he had wanted. He had wanted his sister to live a life free of the pain that came with losing your parents. Over the next week he watched his sister from the shadows, waiting for the best time to approach her. Finally, one day he saw her alone and approached. In a quiet and slightly quivering voice he spoke, “Hi…. Um, I’m Noctis and as strange as this may sound I’m your brother.”

Eos- Noctis has always been protective of his sister since she was born. When their parents died he threw himself into training and became a prison guard. He always watched Eos from the shadows because he believed he would only bring her the pain of memories. When he was sent to Z-99 he still watched over her and made sure she was safe. Now that he is back, he is a little awkward around her just because he does not understand how to be a brother. He follows her everywhere though just to make sure he is safe. Unfortunately, he could only take a break from his job for so long, so he his hoping to make a relationship with her before he has to leave again.
