Astral

“I never thought we’d be good friends, but the gamble was worth it.” - Astral, speaking to Rider
Astral Dreadnaught was a main protagonist in the World's End story and a minor protagonist in Hyrose. He was a friend to all and was eventually killed. Astral was also feared for his incredible and unusual power for a Starbeing. He was the third Starbeing leader.
== Origins ==
== Leadership ==
Astral did assume the throne of the Starbeings. After the previous leader, it had been contended for a very long time. Astral took the throne only for Lockheed, his cousin, to become mad and hunt him down.
Astral was a very good leader, and was considered the best of their time. He ended war between humans and Starbeings, and personally tended to his people. If not that, he was fighting wars for them or adventuring."You know, why do we fight the humans? They look like us, they talk like us, they act like us. What's the point? Because we're afraid of them advancing on us? Who cares. We're both intellectual species, and lets start acting like it." - Astral to his Starbeings.Despite his powerful leadership, not all Starbeings were on board with his ideology of restoring peace between humans and Starbeings. They saw it as disgraceful to their own kind.

== Intelligence ==
Astral, among all of his friends, was young and dumb for quite a while. Until the nearing end of Worlds End, Astral eventually wizened up and got smart about his fighting. The only time where he lost his cool was against Eir, who was badmouthing his friend Callisto. Astral also can learn entire fighting styles and adapt in a matter of minutes. He also knows how to analyze an enemy efficiently after fighting for 2,000 years. Astral had an estimated IQ of 345. He knew 7 different languages, knew over 50,000 individual creatures, could do mathematics in around 2.4 seconds, and could sometimes even predict the future. This intelligence expanded into his attempts to make custom Starbeing bodies.
=== Project: Transport ===
This project of Astral's was to create Starbeing bodies that he could plug into. However, it never ended up working as Astral did not trust anybody to hold his brain.

=== Quotes ===
* "Ay, cuh, you wuh browl?" "Sorry, I don't speak . Can you repeat that again for me in english?" The toddler raised his fists. I knew this dude wasn't going to actually punch metal. He'd be extr- Actually, no, he did punch me. I then punched him in the gut and he went flying into the wall. I didn't punch him hard to enough to decimate his organs or bones, but he definitely would be spending time in the hospital.
* "Have you been sexually acti-" "I'm a robot, dipshit. The most action I get is playing CoD Mobile."
* "I need to ask you a few questions then you can move onto examination." "k"
* "Fine. I'm not going to contend. Take me off." "Not yet. After this, you need to go through examination and a day long holding period." "I hate you and the legislative branch. Thanks, George Cloo-Washington." "Did you really almost call the Founding Father.. George Clooney?" "Yes, yes, I did. Can we move along with this now?" "Hold on, no, I want to stop here for a second." And here's where the judge royally made me a mad person. "You actually just called.. an American President.. after George-fucking-Clooney?" "YEAH, I did."

Astral used to have something called "Kaioken" which could multiply his strength by however much. After x100, it became Super Kaioken, and it eventually capped out at Super Kaioken Ultimate, which was like a stupid amount. He also had core overclocking, which could go up to 500%.
