Appearance:

Castoros is an imposing and intimidating individual, standing at a height of 6'1" with an overall broad and muscular physique. Muscle spans throughout his body, making his athletic build known. Not to mention, he carries himself with confidence, his gaze often narrowed as if he is singling individuals out. His long strides suggest a sense of purpose and determination, as if he always has a clear destination in mind and is eager to reach it without delay. Not to mention, they're smooth and balanced, similar to that of an alley cat.

His complexion is that of a tanned one, with dark brown hair on top of that. His hair remains tousled, yet somehow effortlessly styled, framing his facial features and adding to his enigmatic charm. It remains lengthy for now, reaching the base of his neck and falling over his eyes. His facial features are defined, with a sharp jawline and nose, which has a small bump on the bridge.

One of Castoros' most captivating traits is his gaze. His eyes, a captivating blend of hazel with golden and green flecks, seem to remain emotionless. They are often fixed on individuals with a focused intensity, almost as if he's peering into their souls, sizing them up with a cool and calculated assessment. This unwavering eye contact is not just a habit but a deliberate tactic, a way for Castoros to observe without having to utter a single word. The male doesn't smile often, but when he does, his entire features light up to the point where he almost resembles a boy again.

Upon his right ear, two golden earrings remain. Upon his left, a singular one dangles down. In addition, a defining feature is a scar that runs along his right cheek. It is a simple one, though is noticeable to anybody who lingers near.

Castoros is an overall enigmatic individual that possesses various, complex traits. At first glance, his reserved demeanor might give the impression of a distant individual, but behind this exterior is an entirely different person. His observant nature is a key aspect of his personality, often noticing nuances and small things that others might overlook. This keen perception adds to an aura of ominous mystery, as if he's always a step ahead. Not to mention, he doesn't remain secretive about his observations, often staring at others to the point of discomfort. Even then, he won't break eye-contact.

Confidence is woven into the very fabric of Castoros' being. He carries himself with self-assurance, his articulate speech reflecting a sharp intellect. However, this confidence is not without its layers of distrust; he approaches new acquaintances with a welcoming yet wary attitude, always keeping his guard up until trust is earned. While he remains welcoming to newcomers, he also remains wary. Assertiveness and boldness are also common traits for Castoros. He is a rather stubborn individual, not one to back down easily, especially when it comes to defending his beliefs or protecting those he cares about. This stubbornness is often accompanied by a sassy wit, a playful yet sharp tongue that adds a touch of humor to his interactions. He is a fairly sassy man, not to mention sarcastic in certain situations.

Despite his strong-willed nature, Castoros is not one to reveal all his cards at once. He is strategic and cunning, possessing an obscurantist quality where he knows more than he lets on. This calculated approach allows him to navigate certain situations with precision and caution, always staying several steps ahead. However, by no means is he spontaneous. Sometimes he can be, but in most cases, he is careful with his moves, ensuring that he and others don't dive headfirst into situations.

Beneath the layers of reserve lies a very loyal and protective individual. Castoros values loyalty above all else, and once someone earns his trust, he becomes a steadfast ally and guardian. However, that's only if he is won over, a mission that truly is difficult given his attitude.

In terms of social skills, Castoros is ambiverted, not minding a discussion, but also not minding being alone. It isn't uncommon to see the male on his own or with another. However, when crowds are near, Castoros often makes himself vanish. He dislikes them, much preferring silence.

Abilities:
[Healing Touch]
Possesses a healing touch, able to restore vitality and health to living beings. He has the ability to accelerate the natural healing process in himself and others, or even to revive dying plants and restore ecosystems.

i. Aura of Abundance
The demigod could emanate an aura of fertility and abundance, causing plants to flourish, animals to thrive, and life to prosper in their presence. This aura might also extend to their allies, granting them increased vitality and resilience while in close proximity to the demigod. At certain times, he may also emit a powerful pulse of renewing energy that revitalizes allies, boosts their strength, and rejuvenates them during combat. However, his own powers drain, as he's sacrificing his own and therefore, leaves him exposed.

[Fertility Empowerment and Cycle of Renewal]
Drawing upon Verdantia's domain, the demigod has the power to promote fertility and growth in all living things. This could manifest as the ability to increase agricultural yields, encourage reproduction in animals, or even facilitate the growth of civilizations and communities. He also has the power to facilitate the cyclical processes of nature. This includes the ability to accelerate the growth of new life from decay, restore balance to ecosystems disrupted by human activity, and even induce controlled natural disasters to cleanse and rejuvenate the land. Once more, this is draining on his end, leaving him fatigued and rather useless power-wise depending on how much he uses.

[Life Force Manipulation]
Minor control over the vital energies that sustain living beings, allowing for the enhancement of vitality or the channeling of life force for various purposes. In contrast, he can borrow life energy from nature, aiding himself as a last resort.

i. Life Burst
He has the power to create explosive bursts of life energy, causing plants to rapidly grow and burst forth, overwhelming opponents with sheer force.

ii. Life Shield

Solar Manipulation:

She can control and manipulate solar energy, allowing her to summon and project intense beams of sunlight.

Radiant Healing:

She has the ability to heal herself and others by channeling solar energy. This is very painful as the healing energy that flows into the recipient's body carries an intense, searing heat of the sun’s power. The sensation is akin to molten lava coursing through their veins, causing excruciating pain that threatens to overwhelm their senses. Left behind is a shimmering soft golden scar upon the skin. There is a price for everything.

Sunburst:

A powerful burst of solar energy that can incinerate and illuminate darkness. This ability could be used as a devastating offensive attack or as a means of clearing obstacles. Can't be used often, like a bomb - she just explodes. (Looks like a glowing orb, either in her hands or in her chest). Last case scenario, only if in grave danger/outnumbered

Flare Strike

Similar to Sunburst, Soleil can focus and condense solar energy into a concentrated form, this time taking on the form of a snake-whip. With a flick of her wrist, the solar energy lashes out, capable of disorienting opponents and cutting through objects like a hot knife. Used more commonly.
