Astera Ix-Stalos

Age: 18

Foundation:
Body - Not yet achieved
Unicorn’s Pure Ether Core - A high-grade Core without any Ether Alignment, allowing it more flexibility to become whatever the user requires.  It is difficult to obtain due to the rarity of Unicorns and the fact that they will only approach a pure maiden.  Many Unicorns have been poached for their horns which, while powerful mystical items, are not their Cores, as many believe.
Eyes - Not yet achieved

Enlightenment: Second Dawning

Items/Tools:
Soul-bound Ring of Memory -  Originally appearing as a silver band for the finger, the soul binding script applied to it transforms it into a tattoo-like language around the ring finger.  The owner of this item is capable of perfect memory, allowing for quick memorization and recall even years after glancing at something.  It was created by the Goddess of Memory, Ceres, and found in an ancient ruin by Dyanna Crescent.

Weighted Baton - An arm-length staff that is warded with scripts to alter weight.  While light in hand, it grows heavier at the tip when being swung, increasing strike force.

Ether Glove - Composed to Ether-enriched bones, this glove strengthens the power and range of Ethereal Arts.  It is composed of finger caps, a backplate and a palm covering, joined by sinew to form the shape of Astera’s hand.


Techniques:
Sightless Grip - A technique that allows Astera to use Pure Ether to move objects at a distance without touching them.  This technique started very simply, floating objects in the air, but grew more precise with time.  At the First Dawning, she could lift no more than half what she could with her own muscles, with further Dawnings and training increasing her weight and time limit.

Sightless Push - A technique that lets her use her Sightless Grip to instead push against things or people rather than moving them.  It can be used as a shove or to press down on something or someone, holding them in place or even making it feel like a great weight is upon them.  The stronger she becomes, the more force she can push with.

Sightless Sunder - A Technique taught to Astera by the Unicorn Chieftain of the Ix Clan, the Sightless Sunder builds upon Astera's original techniques by performing two sightless grips simultaneously and pulling in opposite directions, tearing apart the subject of the technique.  It is a difficult technique to control, often damaging the ground between the user and the target, and can often fail if not performed with killing intent.
