Asura

Back To Start: Dancers in the Neon Dusk Wiki

Appearance
A blackened, porcelain face of cracked flesh.

Devilishly curled Ram Horns and eyes that seemed very discernible and scrutinous.

Asura wears all-blacks, giving the sense of a gothic young adult in his mid-twenties, if not for his otherworldly visage. He is scarecly ever seen indulging in color aside from his pearlescent Hobmarket Mask, usually found to his side, and is always on-hand with a sketchbook.

Known History

 * Known to despise upper-class society and reputably show disdain to megacorporations. Doesn't seem to like anything resemblant of social-elites and wealth.
 * Goes by the Username/Media Alias; "Penterghast' - has been actively doing street art around Detroit with this tag. His works are usually exceptionally well done and feature cryptic messages that make sense only to the fey. To the normal human, they inspire dreams and fantasies of a different world..


 * His Ex-Agent was a man named Barnaby Smith, who sold his works after his death to various detroit collectors. His Oldworld signature mysteriously faded from each painting upon their selling, adding to the cost and absurd nature of the paintings. They have become absurdly rare collectibles, and the artist was said to have wanted himself to remain anonymous. Barnaby is said to have retired, or gained some level of wealth making his old life as an agent a dead-end for anybody seeking them out.


 * Asura has been known to delve frequently into dreams. It's not uncommon to meet him in there. He has a knack for being in the right time at the odd place. It's theoried he hangs around in the dreams of others for inspiration.

Rumours/Heresay

 * It's rumored he came from the hedge only five or twenty years ago or so, and the world is so devoid of emotion, appreciation for art and life, that he barely cares for it.
 * ""See, I don't care for shopping. I don't care for sleeping, or any of the things I'm supposed to be doing like the rest. The mundane, or the goals based on.. whatever.  I don't care for any form of 'schedule' or cookie-cutter mold beyond how it serves me. Know why? Well. We tell ourselves lies of order and meaning to avoid the hole deep within us; that which is truth and inevitable. We all die. We're all trying to make something of it before we die. We desperately rake and seek meaning upon meaning. Goal upon goal. Feat upon feat. And for what? To appease whom? Who are we afraid to disappoint? What is anxiety, if not fear of failure? And if it is. I ask why it's even worth listening to that fear. So stop holding back. Be whomever you want. Make, do, experience and let no illusions of order and schedule define you. Death is never pre-ordained. It is sometimes chosen. But it is never, ever, according to plan. Only accepted, or avoided. There is no time for reservations, schedule, order or anxieties. There is only time for creation, spontaneity, feeling and celebration.    Death can hold the rest." - Asura
 * Said to be the 'Go-To' for many folk looking for Changeling Art, but also said to be quite gifted in many forms of artisinal work, if inspired to do it for artistic reasons. Said to have picked this up with the 'Help' of the Director. (Wisened - Artisan)
 * Known as an excellent diplomat and man-servant. Capable of diplomatically assisting any True-Fae, and just as useful for changelings. Said to have been in Pan's realm for many, many years.( Wisened - Chatelaine )
 * It's said he's responsible for a few works of graffiti around detroit, most of which are warnings about the True-Fae around the place. He doesn't seem to like them, and doesn't want unsuspecting changelings to get caught in their path, or so it seems. Others talk about the 'ghosts' telling him to do the murals, and the strangest rumors say he's doing it because he just likes the attention.

 * Recently came into the posession of Ashes from an Artists greatest works, burned in a self-righteous flame likened to the phoenix rising from flames. Will not tell you where it's from no matter how you ask.
