Description

Asthete Galeria possesses a commanding presence, embodying moralistic principles and a penchant for dramatic, poetic expression. Esteemed in Aethria, some even regard him as akin to a "god." However, his complexity makes true understanding rather difficult. Most describe him as a shut in, as all known or accidentally revealed to public are as follows; although supposedly not one for the outdoors, when seen, he is meticulous about his appearance, especially his hands, aswell as regarding a large passion for the arts of creation. It leads many to wonder, just who really is their creator?

Personality

With a quick-thinking and creative mind, Galeria takes ample pride in a honed ability for capturing complex emotions, connecting abstract ideas with a deeper understanding of aesthetics. Despite this confidence in creation, often, he feels self consciousness with his own body, more specifically, his hands. Constantly, he struggles to appear natural, often altering positions attempting to achieve a " normal" appearance. The attention to detail on simple things alike spreads from body to art, where he painstakingly depicts deepest desires, often bringing unseen or unwanted emotions to light, reflecting his fascination with the interplay of beauty and decay. The artistic talents Galeria possesses often extend beyond painting, with some peices incorporating the use of stained glass, blood and unique floral arrangements. The work produced, serves as a means to explore his imagination and engage with perceptions of life, though his own views of the once vibrant world has shifted towards a more melancholic lens.

Regardless of the many offerings of relations and company, Galeria harbours a large fear of commitment, often viewing emotional attachment as a hindrance to fully understanding and embracing creation or forming deep connections with others. Due to this, he finds himself quickly abandon ideals, friendships or situations due to his potential complexities and perceived lack of captivation than originally imagined. The avoidance and perpetual pursuit for new obsessions often causes others to view Galeria as unreliable, ultimately leading to a lack of trust. Underneath the guarded exterior lies a deep fear of vulnerability and of course, attachment. Asthete firmly believes in maintaining a constant detachment from the world and will often reject care or affection, writing them off as signs of weakness. This fear compels him to belittle and demean anyone who displays even a hint of attachment whilst struggling to validate his own detachment. Despite this, Asthete possesses a vast emotional capacity, notably characterised by a heightened emotional awareness and secretive sentimentality. While generally content, Galeria occasionally suffers with the burden of guilt as-well as bitterness due to his inability to forgive. Instead he’d rather seek yet another new experience and drown in escapism.
