Aster "Icepick" Hazesplitter is the oldest of the Hazesplitter brothers.

## Personality

He is a hardened warrior-turned-barista who fought in the great war against the Dragons. After experiencing the gruesome aftermath of the war and the loss of his comrades and dearest friends, he retired and settled down in the capital where he now owns a popular cafe.

He is known for his gruff and stoic demeanor and rarely smiles or expresses any positive emotion. Despite his stoic exterior, he is kind and compassionate and goes out of his way to help others, especially his younger brother, Zephyr.

Aster gained a reputation as a fierce and capable warrior during his time in the army, particularly for his skill with bladed weapons and firearms. In the aftermath of war, he was haunted by the sights he had witnessed and the lives he had taken. Over the years, he has struggled to find peace and purpose. Still is.

However, he still maintains a soft spot for his younger brother, and does everything in his power to protect him and ensure that he has a better life than he has had.

## Backstory

Aster and Zephyr were.. well, yeah normal children, but their mother Kailei has a set of powerful necklaces, passed over to her descendants. She promised herself to never open this box, until a group of dangerous people broke into their house, killing her in the process, beating her senseless until she was unrecognizable. During her final moments, she tells the brothers to open the box, and pick the necklace they feel the most drawn to.

Fast forward, Aster joins a guild, has a really great time with his allies until of course, they all fucking died except him. He blamed himself for not doing anything about their deaths and promised himself that he won't let this happen again, well until Zephyr gets stabbed while on a quest with Aster. Aster snapped and literally signed up to get taught dark arts so he can revive his brother. It works, but Zephyr doesn't remember anything in the process, so Aster has to walk him through who he is, etc. This happens multiple times. Zephyr dies? Aster revives him. Cycle repeats.

## Appearance

Aster is a tall but frail looking adult male, his build much like his brother Zephyr's. He stands at 6'2. His skin is quite pale, due to the countless days he spent mourning his brother's death until he got the idea to resurrect him, which was after 4 months of being a shut-in.

He also has a giant scar on his left eye due to the war and has prominent eyebags. His eyes are a bright cyan with yellow accents, and his irises are shaped like diamonds as a stylistic choice. His hair is medium length, tied into a ponytail with side tails as well, colored white and fading into a dull blue.

He wears a bright cyan coat which matches his Vitality Crystal with a white turtleneck underneath. He wears long white gloves to conceal his battle scars. He also has a belt with a gem in the center as an accessory, gifted to him by Sunako. He wears black slacks with black shoes.

   While working at the cafe, he wears a white apron with the logo on the center.

## Abilities and Powers

As a warrior, Aster was trained in the use of many different weapons, but he is a master with the blade and rifle. He can wield both with deadly precision and has developed a combat style that relies heavily on agility and speed. However, due to his shut-in era, he now exclusively uses his rifle and a combat style of precision and efficiency on bullets.

Aster also possesses some supernatural abilities, mainly focused on elemental magic. He can manipulate both light and ice, with varying degrees of proficiency. He favors using his ice magic because it can be used with precision and requires less energy. Despite having mastered light magic, Aster rarely uses it, as he considers the light to be too unpredictable and dangerous.

He is also a great cook and loves experimenting with new recipes.
