ASTER
PRINCE OF THE DARK FEAST
Aster is the youngest son of King Eligos, and probably the most ambitious of the group. He appears as an otherwise normal man in a fine suit with the head of a stag, towering antlers above his head. His crisp manner of dress, silver tongue, and sharp eyes are all carefully curated tools with which he manages his domain--- that of the Dark Feast. A somewhat broad concept, his dominion centers around exploitation and taking, using, and consuming that which is not rightfully his.Specific examples of what empowers the Prince of the Dark Feast include manipulation, extortion, abuse of power, forcible subjugation, and even cannibalism. Any acts which take control of another person for one's own gain fall under this umbrella. Greed, indulgence, and overconsumption also fall into his jurisdiction. Aster tends to bargain with mortals that he can easily undercut with his manipulation, but he may also choose to empower those who are like him as well. He is represented by feasts, cutlery, money, ostentatious displays of wealth and power, and most prominently, meat. Hypnotism is a clear sign of his influence. His symbol is a pair of sharp buck antlers and his power is at its most potent during the transition from Winter to Spring.
