Aster is a fairly young man, appearing the part very much so. To begin, Aster has medium length mahogany colored hair that frames his face. This hair often appears disheveled and is often left poking out in odd directions. He has blue-gray eyes, which oddly enough matches with his spirit weapon. Aster has a fair skin tone to compliment his darker hair. He has a tall but lean figure, standing over most people. He isn't overly muscular, having a well defined but slightly skinny body.

Aster takes the Quincy attire to heart, his more prominent clothes being white in color. To start off the attire, Aster wear a black button down shirt with a dark red tie. The top of this shirt is often left undone as the tie is worn in a loose manner. Over this, Aster wear a white blazer which is rarely seen buttoned up; he mainly leaves it open because he dislikes the feeling of being stuffed. On the left collar of said blazer, Aster often keeps a small silver crucifix pinned in. With this, he will wear match white slacks and black shoes to complete the outfit.

As for accessories and markings, Aster has very few. On his right wrist, Aster keeps his Quincy Cross on a thin silver chain. He wears a black belt with five special slots used to hold his Seele Schneider. He also has a tattoo going across his right forearm. This tattoo is in script ad is a scripture from the Bible saying "but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Another, larger tattoo resides right over his heart. It is a medium sized celtic cross; this tattoo serves to remind him of his upbringing and to follow the Quincy Way.

Aster has the unfortunate habit of rarely remembering people's names if they aren't exactly close to him; as such he often comes up with suitable nicknames for them. He never brags about himself no matter what the situation. Aster would rather downplay his skills to luck or say he's dressed in an average manner. As such, it's very frustrating to give him a compliment.

Despite this, he can be a very biased man when it comes to it. This can be seen in whom he chooses to help or spend time with, often grading people on their own apparent morality. He is somewhat childish in his choice making, often eating candy as a meal or still playing with video games. When facing a hollow or those related to hollow ie Arrancar, Aster loses said demeanor however. In such cases he becomes fairly cold and tries to exterminate the foul beings as quickly as possible.

5x Seele Schneider

Aster prefers to use the more traditional versions of the Quincy Cross, his Spirit Weapon being an intricate bow. While forming his weapon, his Quincy Cross will rise upwards and form an odd metallic bow in his right hand; this solid form shows his mastery of his Quincy lineage. The bow itself appears very mechanical, having sections where it splits off. There isn't a single set string for Aster's bow, instead having multiple crossing strings formed with Reishi. This makes it more similar to a compound bow than any regular bow.

Sporting a blue, white and black color scheme, Aster's Quincy Bow is larger than the standard one. His bow is two meter's in length, being only a single inch smaller than he is. Where one would normally find a string to pull back on, Aster's bow instead has a long handle with two holes to place his fingers. The limbs of Aster's bow is featured in two different sections, the first being a simple one which looks like the limbs of any ordinary bow. The top section curves upwards into two sections, appearing almost like fangs. At the side of each of these, is a black cross. From there, 6 silver sections will split off above each of the previous protrusions.

The name of Aster's bow is Fromm Drachen (Godly Dragon)

Aster's Quincy Cross takes on a very intricate design, seemingly opposing the traditional colors the Qincy hold dear of blue and white. The base of it is all black tungsten, forming the first layer of the Quincy Cross. Where the tungsten forms a circle, a smaller copper cross and copper star are placed within it. overlaying this is a traditional cross with a small onyx gem placed in the center, the cross being made of copper once more. This all hangs from a thin silver chain kept on Aster's right wrist.

Name: Panzer Schneider
Item used: Bow
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderate
Range: Mid - Long Range
Description: As with most Quincy techniques, this technique is meant for ranged combat. Gathering the reishi within the environment, Aster will focus this condensed reishi into a single arrow. This arrow will appear significantly larger than the standard one many times over. The arrow has a maximum length of fifteen yards, a height of ten yards and a width of four yards. Aster will then launch the over sized arrow forward, the arrow causing more damage than normal due to it's large size.

Name: Geist Jager
Item used: Bow
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderate
Range: Mid-Long Range
Description: A fast paced technique meant for taking out multiple hollows at once or overwhelming a single target. Aster will draw back on his bow and fire three dozen arrows into the surrounding air. These arrows will stop in mid-flight, Aster having complete control over them. Aster will typically launch these arrows to form a 360 degree sphere around his target. Once the last arrow is fired, these arrows will then fly simultaneously towards their targets. This technique does require a short amount of time afterwards however.
Post Cooldown: 1

Name: Blitzkrieg
Item used: Bow
Type: Supplementary - Offensive
Cost: Large
Range: Short-Mid Range
Description: A supplementary technique combining the Seele Schneider of the Quincy with the Ransotengai spell utilized when injured. Forming threads made out of Reishi, Aster will connect each thread to one of the five Seele Schneider he keeps on his person. Due to this, he is able to completely control his Seele Schneider as an extension of his own body. In doing so, Aster is able to return each Seele Schneider fired back towards him. Each Seele Schneider will appear to float behind him while in use. This allows for complete path control while launching these arrows; this technique may also be used for short ranged combat giving Aster a total of five 'swords' to use in close proximity. These Seele Schneider arrows are naturally stronger than the standard Quincy Arrow.

Due to the nature of this technique, Aster cannot use any other bow technique while this is in use. It also has a more limited range than it's counterpart techniques due to the threads behind connected to Aster.

Name: Spiegel
Item used: Ginto
Type: Defensive
Cost: Low
Range: Close
Description: A more defensive technique used to combat those that get within his reach. Grabbing a single Ginto Tube, Aster will recite the incantation quickly as liquid Reikyoku flows out. This Reikyoku will form a large pyramid shaped shield around him. When struck by a melee attack, small arrows normally released by a Quincy's Spirit Weapon will launch outwards. These arrows perform small amounts of damage, no greater than the equivalent o a level 1 Hado spell. While in this pyramid, Aster is unable to launch any of his own techniques.
Incantation: Suffer among your own sins, Spiegel!

name: Erzengel

description: Once Aster goes into his Quincy Vollstandig, he changes somewhat radically as with all Quincy. The most prominent of these changes are six white wings on Aster's back. These wings are the reason for his alias as Seraph. Each seat of wings are a different set in length. The first part sprouting from his lower back are five feet in length and height each. The second pair sprouting from mid-back, near his rib cages, are only slightly larger, being five and half feet in length. The final pair are the largest, sprouting from between his shoulder blades with each wing being eight feet in length.

Along with this, Aster's eyes will turn hetero-chromatic in color, his left eye turning a crimson red in color. Aster's Quincy Bow will disappear, forming five glowing white halos of reishi around Aster's right forearm. Aster's tattoo over his heart will also glow with white reishi, the glow emanating slightly from his shirt. While using his standard Bow techniques during this form, Aster will form a different ind of bow. His bow is not metallic, instead being more like a regular Quincy's bow in that it looks like spiritual energy. This bow is very simplistic, being separate lines of reishi to form a design.

Name: Sakral Messer
Item used: Bow
Type: Offensive
Cost: Large

Description: As it is well known, powerful Quincy can use condensed reishi to produce blue flames powerful enough to burn even the sands and rocks of Huenco Mundo. While in his Vollstandig form, Aster takes this a step further. By rapidly moving the reishi similar to a manner of Seele Schneider while condensing it, he can create azure colored lightning capable of electrocution of the highest levels. After absorbing the reishi from the environment, Aster will use his own Reiryoku to condense this.

Using this method, Aster will for a large arrow in his right hand. This arrow actually appears as a lightning bolt, several jagged protrusions coming from the main portion. This arrow will appear as the same size as his Panzer Schneider ability. Throwing the arrow forward, it will travel forward at high speeds - faster than any of his arrows outside of Vollstandig. Once his arrow reaches it's target, it will explode in a large burst of electricity shaped in a sphere. This sphere of lightning is forty feet in all directions, useful for harming multiple opponents at once. This electrical burst is thirty-five yards in diameter.

Name: Sankt Himmel
Item used: Bow
Type: Defensive - Offensive
Cost: Very Large
Range: Short - Mid
Description: A more defensive technique, Aster will absorb a large amount of reishi and then place that reishi into the ground. Using his natural Quincy ability to reform reishi into different objects, Aster will form sixteen mammoth crosses, each cross being thirty meters in height. The crosses will emanate lightning from each arm, connecting with each other. With the crosses formation, a large sphere of lightning will surround Aster and any comrades, protecting them from attack. Those coming into contact with this technique will get hit with the strongest of lightning, receiving third degree burns. The sphere is fifty meters in diameter. This sphere is selective of whom Aster deems to protect, being able to protect certain individuals while electrocuting anyone else caught within it's boundary. Aster can also use this technique in an offensive manner, choosing to form the crosses away from his own body and simply surrounding an enemy.
Post Cooldown: 6 (usable twice per thread)

Name: Gottes Licht
Item used: Bow
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderate
Range: Far
Description: A fairly simple technique combing basic Quincy Arts with Aster's unique Vollstandig. Forming the bow acquired with Vollstandig, Aster will fire off multiple arrows at once. These arrows are of the seemingly ordinary kind save for being highly condensed into the lightning form Aster prefers to use. Aster can fire off a maximum of thirteen hundred arrows at once. This overwhelms the opponent with electricity causing paralysis. Due to the large number of arrows flying, this technique is incredibly hard to defend against or dodge.

Family:
Alexander Rosevelt | Father| Deceased
Alena Zervos | Mother | Alive?


Aster Zervos was born in Volos Greece on July 19th, his father being a 'professional trainer'. His father, Alexander Rosevelt, was an ordinary human with no special powers aside from his bill paying and larger than average body; Aster's mother however was the one in which Aster's Quincy lineage laid, her name being Alena Zervos. She was a stay at home wife, raising Aster's in a tiny little apartment while their father worked. Aster's home growing up was a very spiritual household, his mother often reading him verses from the Bible instead of standard entertainment.

As their father traveled around the world to work with various athletes, Aster's mother taught him stories behind the Quincy in the guise of fables. She often told him how they were like holy monks that protected the world from various monsters. As such he grew up idolizing such things, dedicating himself to be of good heart like the Quincy in the stories. This would set up the foundation for his entire persona; even at the young age of five he was incredibly respectful of adults. It was no surprise to Alena when Aster began developing spiritual awareness at that age.

Unfortunately for him, such a peaceful time would not last. Due to constantly being around two spiritually active humans, Alexander was essentially a homing beacon for hollow attacks. As Alexander went to meet young Aster and Alena at a restaurant, the hollow attacked. He never stood a chance. Aster had felt the spiritual energy of the hollow along with his mother; ignoring his mothers orders to stay put, he followed along to see the gruesome sight of his father's mangled body. This shock the poor six year old dearly, the image being burned into his mind for years to come. Alena vowed vengeance for her fallen husband, wanting to find the specific hollow that killed him and end it's existence.

Without any other family members to send Aster off to, Alena decided that she would send him to develop his latent abilities - the Consecro headquarters in the UK. Dropping off her child, she told him of how the stories of the Quincy were true and that he could become one of those protectors here. As she walked away, Aster was led into the building by an elderly man; the man being named Michael.

Under Michael's tutelage, Aster quickly gained control of his Quincy abilities. As a Quincy who had lost his abilities, Michael was able to teach Aster all about the usage of Reishi. He also instilled his own beliefs into Aster, teaching him the deeper meaning of Catholicism. Despite his prodigious talents, Aster began adopting a mixture of Alena's and Michael's personalities - forming a child who was withdrawn and too humble for his own good.

At the age of twelve, Aster had gained enough control over his Quincy abilities to officially join the Consecro. Due to the six years of training under Michael, Aster was able to start off as a proxy for the organization. It is here that Aster truly began to separate himself from the rest of the proxy. During the training sessions with the other proxy - Aster showed aptitude for manifesting reishi in unique ways. This began with him forming a solid bow, showing a higher mastery of his abilities. Even Michael was surprised by this, the young child having taken an affinity of the sphere of influence. Deciding that they needed to truly test the young child's abilities, Michael requisitioned that he be brought along with one of the Guardians to kill a hollow.

On the day of his birthday, Aster was sent away from the headquarters with one of the Guardians. Traveling to to a little town in Japan called Karakura Town, Aster and said Guardian went to seek out a hollow. Unfortunately the Guardian made a mistake that day. The poor man did not take Karakura's exceptional amount of spiritual beings in their. As such, when he used the hollow bait to attract a hollow, multiple hollows came including the common Menos class. The Guardian attempted to take Aster into a safe spot so that he could rectify his mistake and call for more members, only to find that Aster had stepped forward to face the hollows himself. After hours upon hours of fighting, each hollow was slain - the young child having an impassive look on his face at the destruction.

During the next eight years, Aster continued to work for the Consecro; Aster continued working for the organization in order to find traces of his mother and to kill any and all hollows that crossed his path. Eventually the young man was deemed worthy into becoming one of the Obelisks, his prodigal skills being necessary for the upcoming threats.

It was cold - the type of bitter cold that made even the happiest of men miserable and prone to fits of anger. Aster was no exception to this, arms crossed tightly across his chest as he walked across the pure white snow. What was he expecting? He was somewhere in the United States, during winter at that, and though his standard attire of choice would be warm enough for the harsh arctic winds. His lips were a light blue and his fingers felt stiff underneath his arms. Still, it was all worth it if he could wipe the world clean of one more ugly stain.

He was in America for the sole purpose of hollow extermination, one of the stronger menaces being found within the area. He had some family in North Dakota anyway; it was very easy to visit them as an excuse to find the Adjuchas Hollow roaming the area. Removing a hand from the small warmth of his body, Aster began to dust the snow out of his dark red hair. He mentally cursed his relatives for living in such a isolated area. It was a measly 2 story house towards the edge of the woods, the nearest store being a thirty minute car ride away. Being in the middle of a hinterland during a snow storm wasn't his definition of fun, Aster doubted anyone could find this enjoyable.

Inhaling deeply, Aster watched in odd fascination as his breath came out in white wisps. A of a stick - the crunch of the snow, Aster closed his eyes in resignation as he felt the sickening reiatsu of a Hollow come closer. It was finally here. Spinning on a heel, Aster rose a thin eyebrow at the sight of the hollow. It wasn't what he expected at all; Aster dared to say it was meager in appearance to all the reports of a hollow devastating the areas. It was fairly small in size, being no more than a foot taller than Aster. Like all hollows, it's skin was covered from head to toe in a mask like substance save for it's two, piercing snake like eyes. It's tail resembled that of a scorpion's, a single horn situated on the right side of it's forehead.

If he was a foolish man, he would simply write this hollow off as a weakling and rush in without haste. Fortunately he was no fool. There was no mistaking this level of reiatsu - such a dark and sickening reiatsu, it was a level comparable to that of his own. Clearly the reports were wrong, he wasn't deal with any adjuchas hollow that somehow wandered into their world. He was dealing with a stronger kind of vermin.

"You're a bit different aren't you?" Aster asked quietly, reaching upward to loosen his tie even further. Aster would receive no answer, the hollow instead thrusting it's tail forward in an attempt to pierce his throat. Aster dove to the ground, rolling on his shoulder and immediately standing up from his evasion. Apparently this one meant business. That suited the red haired Quincy just fine, he too would rather get this over and done with. With a single hand, he threw his blazer behind him as he raised his right hand towards the hollow. In a flash of pale blue light, Aster manifested his bow as he stared coldly at the hollow. "Come now monstrous demon." Aster spoke in nothing more than a whisper, not caring if the hollow before him heard.

The hollow once again lashed out, this time attempting to maul Aster with it's claws. Aster didn't dive to the ground this time, seeing no point in such an action. He met the hollow's claws head on; Aster's bow was a good enough blockade against the keen-edged claws. It was a shame that the hollow was physically stronger than Aster however. His hand trembled greatly, the force sending the young man into the snow on a single knee. Reaching behind him, Aster pulled out a single Seele Schneider; the blue blade humming to life as Aster swung forward.

Blade met forearm, the Seele Schneider cutting through the hollows arm and separating it from it's owner. As the hollow roared in pain, Aster took action leaping away from his foe. Placing the Seele Schneider within his bow's holster, Aster stared blankly at the hollow with ice in his eyes. "Die." he simply muttered as he drew the bow. Arrow met head, the hollow ceasing to exist in an anti-climatic fashion.

As the hollow disintegrated into nothingness - a death that Aster felt was fit for those morbid beings, he collapsed backwards into the snow. He wasn't happy; he had no reason to be happy with such a kill. Aster sniffled dramatically, crocodile tears springing to his eyes as he realized the ramifications of his earlier actions. His jacket was now cold and wet on the ground.
