Kastor Madjas

## Character Bio

### Secret Heart's Desire

I don't wanna be feared, but I don't wanna be a pushover either. I need that balance in life. Or something to that extent. The chaotic mess of life is great, but so is the peace of death, you know?

### My "Magic" Touch

Since I'm more like *tatay* Sidapa, I have more control on life and death. Or rather, how long they deserve and if they can come back. I'm still learning how to measure it, guys.

### Storybook Romance Status

Oh, man, there's this guy I like, but I don't know if my friend will kill me for liking them.

### Oh "Curses!" Moments

Hey, hey, I swear to all my godly *titas* and *titos*, I'm no monster! Horns and all, I'm just someone who likes to have fun!

### Favourite Subject

Tie between PE and History. Is it possible to combine both? Frankensteining them might be a great idea!

### Best Friends Forever After

My extended cousin Ylana is a pain, but she's my pain. Can't forget my *ferry* creepy cousin, Maia.

## Relationships

### Parents

* Sidapa (father/*tatay*)
* Bulan (papa)

### Other Family

* Ylana Sinagmalito (extended cousin)
* Maia Alunan (extended cousin)

### Friends

The 7 Rings are my co-*death*-pendents! Sorry, puns.

## Other Information

### Powers

I managed to get my *tatay's* mortality powers, but also I can summon animated, talkative skulls from wherever. And I can control the stars to an extent.

### Skills

I'm a beast on a dirt bike, or a mountain board. I live on a mountain, after all, I've trained loads. I also do other things, but they're pretty chill.

## Further Reading

### Mirror Blog

@highblood

Kastor S. Madjas is the son of Sidapa and Bulan, and Sidapa's successor in the Philippine mythos. A daredevil with a soft spot, Kas believes that life and death should be celebrated equally, and lives life and unlife with a spirit that is chaotic and calming at the same time.

## Character

### Personality

Kas is **spunky**. Full of spirit, he brings energy and a smile to the table, whether through his antics or just him being there. Like his father, he's quite **appreciative of life** and enjoys the surprises life brings.

He is also **brave, and somewhat reckless.** Being immortal allows him that perk, and he's a **thrill-seeker**, with his love for extreme sports and his somewhat **chaotic nature.**

Through all of these loud qualities, he has a sense of **humbleness**. Being part of a death realm and having control over life makes him see the bigger picture that everyone lives and dies, or goes through a similar cycle, so he tries to remain **appreciative** of everything; it keeps him **grounded.**

### Powers

* **Stellar Manipulation**
* **Life Vision**
* **Undead Summoning**
* **Light Generation**
* **Enhanced Strength**
* **Immortality**

### Appearance

Kastor is a tall guy, with a slightly bulky build and tanned brown skin, which seems to be glowing (literally, he is). He has small golden horns that sprout out just above his temples, a trait he got from his father. His hair has a section that is naturally white, owing to his papa's family, along with his eyebrows, which grow out to make a little sliver of white on the right brow. He has somewhat squishy cheeks and high cheekbones, and big brown eyes that always are a little squinty.

## Myth

### Kas's Role

Although he was born with a mix of both his father's and papa's powers, he manifested more of his father's side and was revealed to be following his father's destiny.

## Relationships

### Romance

Kas is gay, and has had no shortage of crushes and little flings.

## Outfits

### Style

Kas's style mixes modern with vintage, going way, *way* back to precolonial times. He has a penchant for leather jackets, but often has them embroidered or beaded with traditional Filipino motifs, or has them paired with various pieces of traditional Filipino clothing and textiles. He does a lot of extreme sports, so he incorporates gear and apparel associated with these into his style, such as motocross style or protective harnesses and heavy duty hardware. His colors mix earthy, jewel tones, with heavenly pastels, often in shades of green and peach.

## Notes

* Kas's name has references to his role.
	+ Kastor is a reference to Castor, the mortal twin of Pollux who died and was resurrected into the Gemini constellation
	+ Silaw is the Filipino word for glare/dazzle, a reference to him always slightly glowing and how his papa is the moon god.
	+ Photon comes from the Greek word phós, which means light. It is a reference to how his father used fireflies to woo his husband.
	+ Madjas comes from the mountain his family resides on, Mt. Madjaas, which means "high mountain" in the local Kinaray-a language.
* His mirrorblog name is a multilayered pun; highblood is a colloquial term for high blood pressure and is also an expression in the Philippines, but also is a pun on royal blood, and a pun on his domain in Mt. Madjaas.
* His concept existed for a while, as someone who was gonna come with a Magwayen kid (hi, Maia) but never came into being until now.
* Alignment on meme charts: leans towards Disaster Gay, and Chaotic Dumbass.
