Aster
Character Source: Original
Profession: Game Store Clerk | Aspiring Monster Hunter
Species: Wolf-girl
Affinities: Lucky
Character Behavior
Aster is a sassy scrapper.She’s flippant and sarcastic, snarking and joking at inopportune times just to try and get a rise out of people. She rarely takes things seriously, and her response to everything from getting agitated to scared to amused is to just double down on trying to get under people’s skin, keeping the focus off of her. She loves to get a rise out of people and crack jokes at others’ expense, but is quick to back down if someone starts to get genuinely upset.
She tries to avoid any direct confrontation or physical altercations, but when push comes to shove she isn’t exactly a coward. She fights dirty, goading and distracting to try and get her enemy riled up and distracted, flinging dirt or mud or even glass in someone’s face and eyes. She isn’t afraid to make use of her claws and teeth to really do some damage, grab up anything nearby that might grant her some advantage, or even to go for low blows to help turn things in her favor.
Physical Description
Aster is relatively tall, standing in at just a shade over six feet in height, though is quite slim despite that. A mixture of dark and pale gray fur covers her body, and she sports very wolf-like traits otherwise, including claws, teeth, ears, tail and muzzle. She dresses like a stereotypical punk just “‘cause it looks cool”, and in spite of how much she says or indicates to the contrary takes very careful care of her appearance.Professional/Work Attire:

Character History
A native of Erde Nona, Aster was born the only son and middle child of a relatively mundane family. There was nothing special about it, and nothing particularly negative to be said about it. His mother and father both worked hard, and provided for Aster and his elder sister and (eventual) younger sister.Aster was always restless as a youth, and frequently got into trouble, much to the chagrin and disappointment of his parents. His sisters found it amusing and endearing, though, and encouraged his antics.
At some point, things changed, and his mother lost her job, while his father got an unexpected promotion. Things were still stable at home, though now his mother was there more often. And for a time, Aster calmed down, with more frequent and direct attention from his mother. Before it had been his father doing much of the talking-to and monitoring and disciplining, and Aster had resented it deeply. He took to his mother far more fondly, and after only a short while began to look up to her earnestly.
His father’s new job kept him away from home much more often, leaving Aster surrounded by his sisters and mother. He started to feel…uncomfortably different and isolated from them, which he at first attributed to being the only male in the house so often, especially when his mother or sisters had former colleagues or friends over. But it steadily got worse, to the point where he started to get genuinely uncomfortable over things.
It took him a long, unpleasant while to come to a realization about just what it was that was bothering him, and even longer to actually properly accept it.
It took him even longer to tell anyone else.
Aster had been born the only son of his parents, but therein was the problem, as he eventually realized. Aster didn’t want to be the only son. Aster wanted to be the middle daughter.
Aster’s parents…took it surprisingly well, thankfully. More confused than anything, about why she had waited so long to say anything, to which Aster sheepishly admitted it had taken a long time to come to terms and get comfortable enough in her own head and skin to say anything to anyone, and all the nightmare fantasies a wandering mind could come up with about if they had taken it poorly didn’t help. Some friends had been in a similar boat and been driven to horrible places by it, and that had only further weighed on Aster’s mind.
Aster’s mood was much improved, after that. She slowly reverted back to being just as much of a troublemaker as she had been when younger, though less out of any kind of malicious intent and just out of amusement, and life went on.
General Character Notes/Writing Tips
- As mentioned above in the history section, Aster was born biologically male; though by now, in every way except the actual surgical aspect, Aster is otherwise female and female-presenting. Of course, this detail isn't likely to come up except in particularly intimate moments, with people Aster trusts dearly.
- Aster's tendency toward being flippant and sarcastic is used to try and mask a somewhat...overbearing inferiority complex. It's almost a reflexive action to internally and mentally compare herself to anyone and everyone else, and any little thing (however minute or trivial) they're better at than she is.
- Aster chronically has trouble getting a thorough night's rest, often appearing sleep-deprived and tired. She relies perhaps too much on caffeine and assorted energy supplements to make it through most days.
- For all her playful banter, flippant demeanor and general unflappable facade, Aster is actually incredibly easily embarrassed or flustered. She can't take any degree of flirting, and tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve when she gets even the least bit put on the spot by such things.
- Originating from her time during Dante's Abyss 2022, Aster has developed a particularly nasty case of post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from her death at the hands of Jason Voorhees. It manifests in soul-jarringly realistic nightmares, reliving the event, and is easily set off by anything too similar to the environs of Camp Crystal Lake. Mist or fog especially torment her, and she has re-developed an irrational child-like fear of the dark, and anyone wearing any kind of mask automatically puts her frantically on guard and ill at ease.
- Aster is an incredible lightweight. She cannot hold her alcohol -- at all.
- Though she normally tries to hide it, she actually has a very prominent southern twang and vernacular that tends to come out when she gets particularly emotional or otherwise worked up.
- She is actually incredibly vain in regards to hear appearance. Though she tends to brush off compliments on her looks and take them in stride as if they don't matter and it's all just natural for her, she is incredibly hurt by even the slightest insinuation or insult implying she looks bad in any way, as it does, in fact, take her a lot of work to keep up appearances.
- Tends to swear on and invoke the name of Terry or Terrance (as in the Arbiter of Erde Nona) rather than arbiters in general, in much the same way people do with God or Jesus in the real world.
- Aster tends to be rather impulsive and very easily goaded, and often makes...very poor choices and decisions as a result. She also has a worrying habit of jumping to conclusions and assuming things, such as that people are daring her or making fun of her to do things.
