ABILITIES

• Control over Storms : Ashur commands the weather, specifically storms. He can summon or dissipate clouds, rain, wind, and lightning, using these elements to influence environments subtly or dramatically, always mindful of the consequences on the natural world.

Inherent Divine Abilities

• Immortality: The gods are ageless and cannot die by conventional means. To maintain secrecy, they often live in hidden or shifting locations, or periodically assume new identities to avoid arousing suspicion over their unchanging appearance.
• Shapeshifting: Gods can change their form at will, allowing them to blend into different societies or environments. This power is used discreetly to avoid drawing attention, such as adopting the guise of different people over the ages or turning into animals in inconspicuous situations.
• Superhuman Strength: This power is used with caution, as overt displays can reveal their divine nature. When necessary, gods might disguise their strength as remarkable human feats, still within the realm of human possibility, or use their strength in situations where they are not observed.
• Self-Healing Powers: Gods can heal themselves from injuries instantly, but they do so in private to avoid revealing their divine nature. In situations where they are hurt in the presence of mortals, they might retreat to a hidden location to heal.
• Flight: When gods fly, they become invisible to ensure they are not seen by mortals. This power is often used for quick, undetected travel or to reach places inaccessible by other means.
• Dreams: Communication between gods is conducted through dreams to avoid physical meetings that could be witnessed. This method allows them to exchange information and make decisions without leaving any tangible evidence of their interaction.
• Divine Inspiration: Gods inspire mortals by planting thoughts or ideas in their minds, particularly in individuals who are already creatively or intellectually inclined. This inspiration is subtle, often perceived by the mortal as a sudden stroke of genius or an epiphany, without realizing the divine influence behind it.

Skin Tone / Pigmentation: Olive

Ashur stands tall, six feet even, with a frame that speaks of quiet discipline rather than show. His body is defined but not ostentatious—broad shoulders, lean muscle, and the posture of someone who has always known both command and control. His skin bears an olive hue, kissed bronze from days beneath open skies. He wears his heritage in his bones and in his bearing: strong jawline, proud nose, and storm-colored eyes that rarely blink without purpose. Those eyes carry storms—not the kind that rage, but the kind that gather.   His hair, a tousled mass of dark waves, sits rebelliously atop an otherwise orderly appearance, brushing just past the ears. Even in repose, there’s tension in him—a readiness. Whether dressed in ceremonial garb or contemporary casual wear, Ashur is deliberate in appearance. Every thread has meaning, every piece curated not for fashion, but for impact. He doesn't wear his strength on his sleeve—he threads it into the hem of his silence, the cut of his silhouette, the unspoken weight of his presence.

Ashur doesn’t enter a room so much as shape its gravity. His presence is centered, anchored—less a sun and more a planet whose orbit you slip into before realizing it. He does not crave attention; he expects attention to be earned, exchanged, and sustained. His charisma is not theatrical. It is rooted in stillness, in confidence without excess, in the kind of leadership that’s felt before it’s followed. He doesn’t speak much, but when he does, his words carry the weight of things considered.   Motivated by vision rather than ambition, Ashur sees life as a sequence of turning gears. He respects order, not because he is rigid, but because chaos is only useful when mastered. He’s drawn to great minds—leaders, visionaries, even zealots—not out of blind admiration, but because he seeks to understand what makes people follow. And when he believes in a cause, his support is full and formidable. He is rarely swayed by emotion alone, but once his loyalty is won, it is immovable.   Yet this power comes with flaws. Ashur is often too commanding, his intensity veering into dominance. He can be impatient, especially when others don’t see the bigger picture as clearly as he does. His strategic mind sometimes forgets the human cost of the moves he makes. In conversation, this manifests in the way he redirects, reframes, or outright silences dissent—not cruelly, but firmly. It’s not that he thinks he’s always right. It’s that he knows someone has to lead—and he’s already standing.   Within the family, Ashur is a stabilizer. When conflicts boil over, he's the one who draws lines, makes calls, and brings the temperature down with a look. He rarely plays favorites, instead positioning himself as the fair voice of reason. This can make him seem distant, but it's how he protects the bonds that matter. He may not offer warmth in abundance, but when he vouches for you, it means you’re woven into his inner circle—and that thread won’t break easily.   Socially, he’s more formal than casual. He thrives in curated spaces—intellectual salons, strategic discussions, debates of philosophy or power. He’s capable of enjoying modern indulgences—he’ll dance, he’ll drink, he’ll disappear into a night of clubbing—but it’s always a choice, never a surrender. His speech is measured, rich with precision and metaphor, like someone raised on epics but fluent in nuance. There is a poetry to his logic, and a logic to his empathy. He doesn’t waste words. When Ashur speaks, you listen—not because he demands it, but because silence feels like a disservice.

Omnephilic

Moderately Active--Intellectual stimulation and witty banter are at the heart of his relationships. He is drawn to deep, meaningful connections with a few partners, valuing quality over quantity. While not strictly monogamous, he seeks partners who can engage with him on an intellectual level.
