Past

Past is one of two time-enforcing Astirian Creations. Created by Nurmor, Past is tasked with the mission of eradicating any time-manipulating entities that act against his dark lord. This included the Heralds of Retha, but they escaped his grasp multiple times. Past always returns and cannot be permanently defeated.

## Appearance

Past is a strange humanoid entity. He has indigo skin, a large set of teeth, and glowing cyan eyes. His upper torso is a blue mist and has no stomach area or feet. Additionally, he wears a blue Chronomium Armor that covers his legs, a large part of his upper body, most of his arms, and a great chunk of his head. Past also carries the Timeline Blade.

## Brief History

Past was created eons ago by Nurmor, leader of the Voidal Knights. Past's role was to intervene and exterminate any time-manipulators that wished to act against his master. This included time-travelers dwelling in their past. Along with his partner, Future, the two ensure that there is no escape for their targets.

The 12th dusk Heralds of Retha miraculously time-travelled to the 5th dawn in an attempt to stop Dimiourgia. They were intercepted by Past as they made their way back to the present. Past was tasked with destroying them, and nearly did, but was promptly defeated. Past ambushed them several more times but the heroes were no longer caught by surprise and began defeating the entity with ease. The Heralds managed to escape his grasp but Past remained vigilant for an opportunity to strike.

## Abilities

Past has unique time-related abilities, specifically those involving rewinds. Power-wise he and Future are complete opposites and can very rarely interact with each other. None of his powers have permanent effects.

* **Time Reversal-** Past has the power to reverse time and individuals in many ways, such as de-aging. He used this power to temporarily reverse the Heralds of Retha into infants, with the exception of the immortal members. This reversal can also apply to items and magics.
	+ **Radial Reversal-** Past can apply his reversal powers onto an environment or a nearby radius. Everything within that area is reversed. The effects are weaker than the regular use.
	+ **Self-Reversal-** Past can reverse his own body which allows him to heal and regain his strength. There is a limit to the usage of this power but it is quite useful nonetheless.
* **Time Travel-** Past can easily travel through different points in time; However, he can only travel to the past and early present of his target.
* **Time Isolation-** Past's unique physiology gives him immunity to all time-related effects, such as aging or specific attacks. Additionally, it allows him to go into a unique regenerative state if he is fully defeated. He will always permanently heal, repair his weapons, and recharge his powers.

## Equipment

Past has two important Chronomium items. Firstly, his armor, which protects him and gives him his connection to time magic. It is largely fused with his body. More importantly, he uses a unique weapon to exterminate his targets.

* **Timeline Blade-** One of the powerful timeline weapons, this blade is incredibly powerful. Not only physically as it also enhances Past's time powers and helps him hone his specific abilities. Targets may experience similar time-reversing effects when struck by the blade.

## Weaknesses

* **Rules of Time-** Past has to abide to certain rules when hunting his subjects. For one, he can only interact when they manipulate time in some way, whether it be time travel or simple manipulation. Secondly, he cant directly alter the timeline unless the only thing being changed is the death of the subject. Finally, he can no longer pursue his target if they reach their present or future.

## Trivia

* Past's various swift defeats made him go from threat to joke in the eyes of the players.
