About
Astora was born into a flock known for its prestige and wealth. He expected to live his life resting on his laurels, but his family had a different future in mind for him.
Upon becoming a young adult his flock handed him over to a cult that planned to use him as a sacrifice. His flock had worked with this group for years and was under the impression that sacrifices of their own blood was what had secured their fortune and power in the first place. Little did they know they has been manipulated for decades into simply being a supplier of fresh blood for dark purposes.
Astora had no prior knowledge of this arrangement and was abandoned by his family in the pursuit of greed. But luck would have it that a bird fleeing that same cult meant to deal them a devastating blow on the way out. Faust freed Astora before any rituals could be completed and the two have been on the run ever since.

Story
Browlet
Astora was hatched with a silver spoon in his mouth. Like the other browlets in his nest they were all spoiled rotten and raised with the notion that they were better than those outside of their own flock. From a young age they knew to stick their noses up at others.
Fledgling
As Astora aged his aspects began to develop themselves in grander ways. This was how the flock often chose which members they were going to be giving up for sacrifice. When fire had been the first aspect to make itself known Astora had initially been overlooked, but the second that his light aspect was demonstrated his fate was sealed. Now all they had to do was wait.
Young Adult | Current
Under the guise of a large gala hosted by his family, Astora was stolen away in the night by the very group set to sacrifice him. There was some downtime before the ritual would take place, and the young browbird was none the wiser that it was his own family who had sold him out. As he sat in a small cell that had been his home for the better half of a month, wondering what possible ransom his captors could be waiting on, the door opened and he was once again whisked away. Though this time it was by someone actually looking out for him and also looking to escape the clutches of the group.

Trivia
- Astora is very well spoken when he needs or wants to be. But if there's no reason for him to strut his vocabulary he's fairly crass.
- He likes to flaunt that he has a refined taste when it comes to fashion. Sadly his wardrobe was left behind with his family, but he tries to accessorize where he can.
- Astora is fairly easy to fool or manipulate due to a lack of outside exposure or experiences. He thinks he's beyond such tactics, but it's not hard to pull the wool over his eyes.
- The browbird is absolutely in love with the holidays and he's very drawn in by all the festivities!
- He never had friends before meeting Faust. All he had was his family, and everyone in it just treated each other like stepping stones. Faust is very precious to him, even if he won't verablize that fact.

One of Astora's flockmates who always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. Astora never knew that Bea had left the family to become a detective, but he had been aware of all the gossip at the other's expense. He has no idea that Beata is looking for him.
Work in progress!
