Aesc is a dimensional visitor from some distant and ancient alternate universe. Considering her most prominent features she can be called a faerie.

Contents 1 Affiliations 2 Personality 3 Motivation 4 Abilities 5 Vulnerabilities 6 Character History

[edit] Affiliations

She runs a small pocket dimension between real world and dreams with her cousin Aria the Keening Banshee. It is more a safe place to anyone who behaves and is willing to dream than a group.

[edit] Personality

Aesc is prideful, impatient and impulsive. She considers humans as worthless, unable to do anything right and i need of someone better than them to do their job. She is especially disgusted by how humans carelessly destroyed nature and polluted their world. That is the proof enough for her that humans are incapable of doing anything right by themselves. Towards humans she is rude, insulting and dismissive but can show some admiration to individuals that meet her overly high standards. Unlike her cousin Aria, Aesc sees human world as repulsive and loathsome place, and she doesn't show any interest in understanding or accepting human culture. She is fearsome foe to all who destroy and pollute nature and other beings, and hunts them down mercilessly. She is attracted to natural and magical places.

[edit] Motivation

As her cousin Aria, Aesc is driven by a strong sense of honor, courage and duty, yet unlike Aria she is forcefully intolerant and strict.

[edit] Abilities

It seems that Aesc does not posses not nearly as much of magic and glamour as Aria does. She is a master sword wielder that boosts her performance with glamour. She possess minor wishing powers that allow her to wish personal objects to and from herself and knows a mastery of quicksilver arts allowing her lightning fast movement. She is linked to nature and draws power from it. Using this allows her to regenerate and become stronger. She is also able to communicate with most animals and plants normally. She also has excellent hearing and minor ability to sense natural patterns and disturbances within them.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

It is yet unknown what is Aesc's weakness, but it is not technology and science, as is the case with her cousin. Most probably it has something to do with nature or pollution. Knowing her true name gives complete control of her essence and soul. To be able to manifest physically in our world Aesc needed an anchor in it. What is that Anchor is unknown but if once destroyed Aesc would lose a form in our world.

[edit] Character History

Aesc's history is even more vague than that of her cousin Aria. She shed light only on most recent events. She openly defied orders of the High King and followed her cousin Aria to our world after she found out that she is being targeted for the execution by Aria's former lover. That act possibly doomed her to the exile too, but that is yet not known. While in her homeland Aesc was a member of a knightly order sworn to protect sacred places of their people. Aria once said that Aesc is "of the Sun", and is connected to day, gold and dreams. Since arrival in our world she had some problems with the authorities since she directly attacked and destroyed several cars but Keening Banshee fortunately cleared things with MAGI and took her into her care. Aesc was often seen teamed with a delusional winged mutant and a bear like creature. The media named them "Insane Trio". Aesc herself is lately seen hunting Vahzilok, drug dealers, Trolls and all that pollute nature and other creatures in any way, but she was heard on several occasions supporting Devouring Earth.
