The Ascension Trials are the method by which a Pravda regains its true name and form. These Trials are tailed toward each Pravda, and are officiated by their creator Goddess, Uziri. The variant who entered these trials for Esteri was Adamine, twentieth Genesis variant of the Scarlet Snow lineage. Once her trials were completed, she regained her memories, her master items, and Ascended to reclaim her original name and pack role. While the form changes are a clear indication of Ascension, Esteri's trials had an added element and lasted 600 years. These years were spent growing, maturing, and learning directly from Uziri to bring the youngest Pravda variant up to age and magical knowledge base of many of her kin.
Only Pravda who have Ascended are aware of the truth of what they are. A Pravda is the physical shell that is powered by a singularity and linked through their lumora; they house the celestial consciousnesses of creatures made up of batched trillions-of-stars called Solas. And every single star contained within the vast Zevarian universe has been allocated amongst the forty-two Solas forms that make up this universe. As Solas these creatures fuel the universe as stars, tasked with creating new stars within their bodies to sustain, and create new civilizations. A Pravda body is created to give these creatures opportunities to live amongst those they created whilst they continue their existence. There are still Solas of the Zevarian universe that have not chosen to take on Pravda bodies, but many have and are just now returning to their pre-genesis states of consciousness.
Pravda are not truly immortal, though the matter that makes up their bodies has been around since each originally took their first form. Upon an inhabited body's death, no matter how destructive, their body is instantly cocooned, and begins to be rebuilt over the course of two-weeks. During this period their consciousness is returned to an inter-dimensional plane known as Zerzura, where it decides which of it's remaining stars will power its shell next. It is important to note that when a shell dies, so does that star in the Solas universe. The connection between star and Pravda is fueled by relativity, so while a Pravda body might last a few thousand years; the star does still have billions of years to burn.
Ultimately, the matter that makes up the Pravda bodies can last indefinitely and have been recycling themselves with each new dawning since the very first Solas accepted the offer of Pravda bodies.
Stained Glass LumoraEsteri's reconstructed lumora is unique in that it contains portions that shift or move, much like her elder brother Exalt's. The backdrop a luminous stained glass array showing a stylized star in a sea of reds, spliced through with a framework segmenting tracks along which the triplet stars rotate and glide. Each of the stars is comprised of Muonionalusta meteorite encasing a different sort of diamond, representing the Talosi Family: red for Castian, black for Exalt, and white for herself. The alignment or orientation of these stars is ever shifting, much like the closeness of Esteri with her siblings.
FeathersFeathers formed from Muonionalusta meteorite sheets. Meteorite for its strong vibrational properties. Encouraging transformation and grounding of energies.WebbingWebbing is formed from organic Cinnabar sheets. Cinnabar being a stone believed to assist with manifestation: bringing things into being. It helps increase self-assurance and persuasive powers; such as the Talosi compulsion Esteri wields.
HairstylesEsteri's hairstyles are numerous, but she tends to like styles with braids, ornamentation, or that accentuate her wild waves and curls.
Clothing
Equipoise Gauntlets
Esteri's gauntlets are conduits which focus and help control her immense magical prowess. They are one of many power items scattered throughout the Pravda race, each designed to harness and magnify the magic of that Pravda. In Esteri's case, they allow her to absorb greater amounts of magic, as well as expel it with surgical accuracy. In addition to this, Esteri, as well as her gauntlets, creates balance amongst Pravda and their magic, especially that of her two brothers.
JewelryEsteri prefers layered chains and bangle type jewelry, usually in the form of necklaces or clothing chains as not to get in the way of her gauntlets.
Astral Projection : The first magic learned by a young Pravda, astral projection comes in incredibly handy for Pravda, not only for finding their kin, but also for checking where they intend to go next to avoid portaling blind, something few Pravda are comfortable doing. Esteri has mastered this skill.
Universal Awareness : As a Vendesh Pravda, Esteri has an expansive universal awareness, connecting her more fully to her Solas body and allowing her to feel disturbances from extreme distances, even across the universe itself. A unique aspect of Esteri is her deep and integral connection to the Pravda species web of pack magic. Her increased awareness of the universe has reconnected her to the shared well. She uses this most often to settle or calm the flux of the Pravda as a pack. It is not currently well known by most of her kin.
Time Vision : Esteri can look back or forward through time like other Pravda. This ability grows with age, starting with only the area or objects around a Pravda. Now, Esteri is capable of doing this on galactic scales.
Portaling : The most distinguishing ability of a Pravda is that to portal from one place or time to another. Pravda do this by effectively stitching together slices of the universe to create temporary or permanent doors. Each Pravda has a different appearance to the magic they use to accomplish this, but the end result is the same. Esteri's portals spiral out like a whirling firework before burning through reality like a welding torch taken to metal. They're not as neat as most other Vendesh Pravda, but they're functional.
Telepathy : Pravda are sensitive to telepathic fields. While they cannot read minds, they can communicate with any other creature who uses telepathy actively, and can easily use this to communicate with each other from across a room. Only the Vermilion Rain variants can use telepathy over infinite distances in space and time.
Omnilinguistic : Pravda are born omnilinguistic. During the Genesis age they were forced to relearn speech at the start of each life, however, this became unnecessary with Ascension. Pravda cannot distinguish a difference in language, as everything comes off as their own language to them, and they automatically respond to others in their language without conscious effort. They have a written language, but often times will scribble in whatever language they happen to be speaking in, or a mixture off many they have known and use.
Esteri has a different relationship with her magic than other Pravda, due to the nature of her status amongst the Pravda. This particular Pravda acts as a regulator for the Pravda pack magic, allowing her to take in more magic than her stamina level would otherwise allow.
Magic Siphon and Transference : Esteri's tie to Pravda pack magic allows her to siphon magic away from another Pravda or magic wielder, adding it to her own stamina pool or transferring it to another Pravda.
Magic Eruption : If she chooses, Esteri can expel great quantities of magic and energy at once for both offensive and defensive attacks. This is more forceful than any other Pravda is capable of, as her lumora can handle more magic and a stronger singularity.
Talosi Compulsion : While Esteri is the youngest of the three Talos siblings, all of them have use of a unique family compulsion magic. The strongest user being Exalt who retains complete mastery over it. Castian and Esteri have it to a lesser degree and it does work on all other creatures. Additionally, the Talos siblings are less effected by this compulsion when it is used on each other; giving them the ability to potentially fight back. This compulsion is superseded by any Chief Alpha call. Esteri typically pulls on this to assist with her siphoning magic ability, but can still use it to influence another if push came to shove.
