Aster

**Aster** is a current Lambda of The Ignis Pack. He is played by **~Spirit of Darkness~#3484.**

## Personality

This brute is a calm, gentle soul. He is persuasive as well as trusting. He doesn't resort to violence, but instead uses his voice. His loyalty is to his pack and his pack alone, they come first before anything else. He is selfless, understanding, an "open book" to some. He treats everyone equally, and makes sure his fellow members are happy.

Aster is a "Voice of Reason." He is a wolf you can turn to if you need someone to talk to. He will give his advice as best as he can provide for you, he's efficient in hunting and stalking, but of course he isn't always successful. While he's also optimistic, he isn't afraid to express his opinion on things at hand. While he isn't a leader, he can lead, although he doesn't often as he is only a hunter.

Of course, no wolf is perfect. While Aster is kind and gentle at heart, his demeanor can change depending on the individual, or the circumstances at hand, well "paw." He can be stern and isn't afraid to tell others that they're in the wrong.

However, fighting isn't his forte. While he was trained into the subject, he honestly doesn't approve of it. He tends to trust too easily, which of course can come back and bite you. Aster tends to be stubborn at times, and when you're stubborn, conflict can and/or will happen.

## Primary Elemental Abilities

1. Fire Breath
	* While it is his favorite ability, he can only use his element for only a short period of time, as he has to build up enough oxygen in his lungs after each use. Once he's tired, he's extremely vulnerable to any attack thrown his way.
2. Fire Ball
	* His fire ball he doesn't mind, but having to build up plasma also takes away his energy. He only uses fireball when he's cornered, or when he needs to take out more than one enemy at once.

## Secondary Elemental Ability

1. Immune/Resistance to heat.

* While he is Immune to heat, he can only keep this up for a little bit. Say for instance, if you had a wall of fire, he can easily walk straight through that. But most of the time, his immunity doesn't last long. If another canine has the same element, then he's alright, but as stated, once he's tired then even his own element can be used against him if another welds it.

## Non-Elemental Abilities

While he's all bulk and build, Aster is rather slow, more of a "stealth first, then attack." What's surprising enough, is that he has a lot of stamina. Then so, he can be stealthy on hunts and/or other tasks he's assigned.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

He doesn't resort to violence, and instead uses his voice and reasoning. He is a very efficient leader when he needs to be, and makes sure things are okay and well sorted. He is a good hunter, happy to go on the hunts he's tasked to do.

While he seems "indestructible", no wolf is. He suffers from severe insomnia, and even if he sleeps he's haunted by his past life. While he can hunt, he's not built for speed.

## Backstory

From the very beginning, this brute had everything he ever wanted. He was once a part of a strong pack, a peaceful pack, ruled by his mother and father. He and his best friend Striker had always protected each other and their pack. Aster was in training to become the alpha of his pack, but all that changed on one fateful day…Aster had woken up to the sounds of tearing flesh and the crunching bone.

The metallic scent of blood pierced his ears and sharp whines and cries of pain consumed him. He got up and rushed outside, only to watch his family get torn apart. A dangerous pack of rogues came running into their territory and started blindly killing everyone they came across.

Young, old, they spared no one. He and Striker managed to get away, but only for a brief moment. Striker had sacrificed his life so that Aster could live, and so he stayed behind and fought off what remaining rogues wanted them dead. Why did they attack? No one knows the true reason, but some have claimed to see a "white foam" around the rogue's mouth, saying that they "Aren't well," or "They have The Sickness".

But since that day, Aster has lived with the guilt and the pain ever since. He can't sleep due to his nightmares from that day. He can be seen away from his pack at times, crying all his emotions out. He does this only when he's alone, for he fears his pack will see him as weak.
