Asterius

Profile

"Ah... I'm Asterios. D-don't look at me! You must think I'm a hideous beast..."

A visitor from another world wielding a twin bladed axe enchanted with lightning. Although he was born to a noble family, he was an outcast by his father's hand. Shunned for his appearance, Asterios was sealed away in darkness all alone. Even now, having crossed worlds and living in Tokyo; he lives in self-imposed isolation in the mountainous backwoods, in a labryinth of trees and foliage.

At times he is overwhelmed by bursts of emotion and rages with the ferocity of a storm. But each time he is tormented by equally fierce regret. Asterios chooses loneliness believing a beast like himself should never be close to anyone, as the sorrow of harming them would be too heavy to bear.

Notes

Asterios' Charge Skill and nature as an abandoned man of royal blood living in isolation stem from the Greek Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. In some versions of the story, the minotaur is never named, while others note his name as Asterius.
