Ascanium Natura

**Ascanium Natura** is an important character from the **Record of Tavern** verse. He is a God of Nature and Animals, heir of the divine Natura lineage.

He takes part in the tournament between Aegis and Pagun, as a fighter for Pagun. He is confronted to Primart, then to Alice, during the 2nd round.

## Appearance

Ascanium is a dark skinned God with short white hair. A golden tattoo of a triskelion is split in two between his left eye. For clothing he wears a simple brown robe which has a myriad of various symbols from different cultures and mythos woven around the edges, Underneath cargo pants and a self-vowen blue shirt with long sleeves.

## Personality

Ascanium is not keen of schemes or backstabbing, due to this he always speaks exactly whats on his mind, albeit in a self centered way. Patience often runs dry within him making him quite a hasty combatant, his powers reflecting this very personality trait. He's not someone who wants to be chained by unnecessary duties or responsibilities, only wanting to do whats right in his own mind.

## Background

Ascanium is not the first in line as a God of nature and animals, hailing from a decently long lineage of Natura. His philosophy differs from the rest of his family, as he believes that restarting the world is a far easier and safer option. The reason for this is a mixture of many things, from the way humanity withers away everything it touches to the impatient philosophy he carries.

## Powers and abilities

* **Power of creation:** as the god of nature and animals, Ascanium has the ability to create whatever he imagines. Of course that ability has its drawbacks. If it is something new, never created before, it will take anywhere between hundred to millions of years to form in his exact image. However if it is something old, something that has existed on Earth, it can be created in almost an instant.
* **Weapon:** an old book that takes an appearance of an encyclopedia with ragged leather covers and nearly withered pages. This book allows all knowledge within it to flow into Ascaniums mind and then flow out in order for his mind to not become overloaded.
* **Reaction Speed:** Every Natura at birth is born with an abnormally boosted "stat". Ascanium was born with an extremely high reaction speed.

## Relationships

* **Mother:** One of two people in his family who he truly loved. She entrusted her lineage to Ascanium.
* **Iratus:**  Ascaniums older sister, the only one who he could get along with prior to his first visit to the tavern.
* **Orci:**  The one most actively involved with the business side of the Natura. He holds opposite views on how to handle such business from Ascanium, which puts a strangle hold on their relationship.
* **Bellum:**  An older brother that Ascanium barely sees eye to eye. Bellum places his respects highly into warfare and non-peaceful times, which makes him quite absent from the household in general.
* **Primart:** His opponent in the second round of Ragnarok. Over the course of their fight, Ascanium grew respect for Primart.
* **Alice:** As the daughter of his opponent he shares his respect for her. Ascanium only wishes she follows her own, correct, path in life.
* **Pagun:** While Ascanium agrees with his goal as well as joining his side, he has his doubts if Pagun is the most suitable leader for the new world.
* **Otakemajin:** He does not know much about this lord of Hellheim, however he finds him amusing in a weird way.
* **Wu Jun:** One of the rare people he agrees with in terms of philosophy, as Ascanium looks to eradicate the ugly side of humanity.

## Trivia

* Ascanium was from the start made to be the opposite of Primart in his personality while having a similar power of creation.
* Ascanium used to be white with long brown hair, quite opposite of what his design is currently.
* First of Natura was meant to be a horror-like power up referencing Junji Itos Uzumaki, however the idea was scrapped.
