His lackadaisical behavior and antics may often clash with the personalities and interests of those around him (it varies, naturally), though when it's time to get serious, he knows how to get his shit together and pull his weight. For all of his laidback behavior, he does have buttons that, when pressed, will show people why he became a Monster Slayer in the first place. When off-duty he can usually be found in the nearest bar or club, drinking hard and flirting harder, earning him a reputation of being a bit of a manwhore to many a female, His change at present conflicts with his image prior to joining the Monster Slayers wildly, where he was touted at being one of the best at containing trouble and protecting workers in the Bouncer scene, but due to his lack of wanting to talk about it, it remains a mystery to his coworkers at present.<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>The self-proclaimed 'Heavy' of the Monster Slayers Division, Aster comes from distant lands on a new mission far different from his old. A resident all through middle class society, he often found himself fighting with tooth and nail to make his way to the top of the food chain among those around him, much to the disdain of his parents. Considered 'too hostile of a problem child, when he came of age he was given the suggestion of getting his own place to stay and, realizing he'd caused them too much grief up until then, elected to move on and spare them anymore trouble. As a last gift, they helped him move into his own residence, thanking them for putting up with him all that time. Now, he would be on his own, with his first thought being to look for a job... However, for someone like him, they didn't come easily. After a few days of failed attempts, he decided to fall into street fighting for some quick and easy cash doing what he did best: Flooring the competition. Though things went well for a short time, it became clear to him that the stakes continued to rise higher and higher, and ultimately they would be expecting him to kill to win, or die trying... But with no other way out and not intending to lose at the only thing he was good at, he sought to push ahead.<br/><br/>However, someone else had given him a reason to not have to resort to such means for a living. A club owner spectating at some of his fights offered the man a job that would not only pay better, but probably would not land him in prison or a bodybag. Though suspicious at first, being told he would become a Bouncer for his club wound up becoming one of the higher points of Aster's life, finally able to leave a scene of danger and make a more legitimate living. To Aster, it was simple: Standing at doors to ID patrons, wandering the Clubs and Bars to supervise and make sure no one was causing a ruckus, and help ensure the safety of their workers. When someone got belligerent, he'd simply have to escort them out... Resist, and they were thrown out without question. There was no need for him to ball up a fist to send it into the face of another... For the first time, Aster felt like he could do more than knock heads with others to make a living.<br/><br/>During his work, he drew the eye of one of the club's entertainers, a lovely thing by the name of Ramona, who Aster took to purchasing her company whenever he had time off. Though it started as simple business and later curiosity, the two started to get serious after a time, surprising even Aster with the feeling of having found what he felt was 'the one' for him. Though she got ready to leave the business, Aster would continue to work as a Bouncer to help support them, looking forward to the day they would marry... Alas, it would not be meant to be. A month later, an attack was suffered from one of the indigenous beasts that roamed the surrounding lands, making its way into civilization to wreak havoc before it would be put down by the esteemed Monster Slayers. However, while Aster escaped with only moderate injury in the form of a broken arm and several lacerations, his wife-to-be had lost her life in the attack. Concerned for his mental health, his boss had elected to give Aster time off to sort out his mind and his priorities, and thanked him for everything he did and would have continued to do. He spent the next couple of weeks in pain and grief, trying to get over the loss, and eventually turned to more amoral means of moving on, between alcohol and women. He returned to being a menace for a time, a lech with no aim or direction in his life, until his boss knocked some sense into him and told him if he wanted to do something serious with his life, then instead of throwing it away he should take his carcass to the Monster Slayers and put his skills to use for them. Like a drunken epiphany, the realization that if he joined them he would get to fight and destroy the very same creatures that had essentially denied him happiness in life began to dawn on him. Thanking his boss, both for flooring him and setting him straight, he spent time sobering up and getting himself back in shape before he waited for the next recruitment drive to join.<br/><br/>As expected, the process was complete hell. Many others were vying to join, for reasons ranging from selfish to righteous. Compared to all of them, he felt maybe he fell into the selfish column, wanting to fight for revenge. But at one point it occured to him that it wasn't just about him anymore; If he did manage to join the Monster Slayers, he wasn't just fighting for himself. He was fighting for everyone watching them, fighting to make sure no one wound up like Ramona again. With this conviction, he applied himself to tests both mentally and physically demanding. Even with the discovery of what would happen should he pass, he swore no price would be too high to pay in order to fight. At one point worried about whether he would pass or fail and already mentally preparing himself to have to wait for another time to join, he was told he passed and would be allowed to join. With a final check of making sure he knew what he was getting himself into, Aster was ready to be inducted into the Slayers... For his sake, for Ramona's sake, and for everyone elses same.<br/>
