Aster Janus

Items

• • Immortality Engine: The pride and joy of the Order's collection, the Immortality Engine is theoretically capable of healing any wound, rendering the wearer effectively invulnerable. However for Aster, this is not the case. While it's healing abilities are still present, they are greatly reduced as Aster was killed part way through the bonding process, and the Engine was never designed to bond with a dead host. Now technically dead, Aster can not live without the Immortality Engine, it being the source of his long life.
  • Filter glasses: These glasses allow Aster to filter out specific spectrums of his vision, altering how he perceives the world. When removed, he experiences all of these spectrums at once, and when he is under pressure, this can be both taxing and confusing for him, necessitating he only remove them when he is going all out.
  • Janus Mask: An artefact of the Order of Janus, this mask has the unique property of complete inversion. As Aster is by and large a "white mage", donning this Mask inverts all his abilities, including:
  - Immortality/Healing: Stripped. While wearing the mask, he can be killed.
  - Magic: Gone. Trading up his magical power for obscene physical strength and durability.
  - Eyes: Aster goes blind while wearing the Mask, meaning he has to rely on sound, smell, touch and taste, all of which are heightened while wearing it.
  - Shadow walk: The inverse of his Lightwalk, instead of shortcutting time and space, Aster uses shadows as dimensional gateways between positions in realspace by traveling to Shadowspace, a dimension of reality that echoes realspace.
  • Janus Armour: When he puts on the Janus Mask, the Mask covers him in a thick liquid metal armour capable of absorbing kinetic energy and redirecting it into himself for his own use. This is attributed to the inversion of his abilities, as he loses his ability to use magic and gains incredible strength and durability.
  • Dimensional Compass: His guide to crossing not only worlds, but entire dimensions of reality.
  • Infinite Water Bottle: A standard looking water bottle with the curious aspect of connecting to a dimension with unknown quantities of water.
  • Soul Pendant: A pendant belonging to his younger sister than contains a fragment of her soul.
