General description of Astrophel&#039;s contributions on any events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]&#039;s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Phoenix Fest 1230 ==&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel was essentially on call during the entire festival, running around healing minor burns, scrapped knees of children who stumbled around in their excitement, hangover drunks who had one too many drinks and... people who swear they ate lava?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among those injuried is [[Nyx_Roseblood|Nyx]], the sheep kindred who he meet after she broke her arm in a arm wrestling match against [[Selena_Idris|Selena]] (&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Who in their right mind would arm wrestle a damn dragon?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;). Surprisingly, she wasn&#039;t put off by his personality and now seems to pop by the medical wing with scrapes for him to treat and to boist about her latest battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is also how Phel found himself visiting the &#039;&#039;Sugar Cube Booth&#039;&#039;, manned by [[Bunny_Burrows|Bunny]], after [[Nyx_Roseblood|Nyx]] had left the medical wing and forgotten to take her painkillers. He had heard about the [[Sugarbuns_Patisserie|Sugarbuns Patisserie]] before, hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got server actual sugary ambrosia, but he hadn&#039;t visited it. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He keeps hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot;, and after one too many people come in asking for medical attention with red faces and tears in their eyes because they swear they can feel their stomachs melting, he decides to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say it is. He ends up buying half a dozen of your cinnabombs and a dozen of other pastries, the sweet pastries he takes as a gift to the other [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] members. Maybe he&#039;ll visit again, if the spicy treats stay on the menu...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel also found himself helping [[Valhalla_Project|Valhalla Project]]&#039;s very own Phoenix Festival. He was generally just a helping hand for whaterver task the siblings threw at him and stayed on duty in case of any accidents, he also brings mutiple bottles of spiced mead from Tírr to share. Thankfully, the event went without a hitch and the kids surprisingly took a liking to him? Especially [[Fovelly]] who, due to her propensity to stumble over herself, had Phel hanging aroud her making sure she didn&#039;t get hurt and getting many piggyback rides. The twins [[Pollux_and_Castor|Pollux]] and [[Pollux_and_Castor|Castor]] also enjoyed messing around with him, trying to catch his tail and snatch his rings until they got snacks. By the end of the event he recieved a handmade dreamcatcher which he now keeps safely tucked near his bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he sneaked in a hefty donation while everyone is busy nobody has to know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he didn&#039;t take part on the subjugation of [[Loco_Motion|Loco Motion]], he offered to treat whoever was injured in the aftermath. [[Eleanor_Valentine|Ella]], who got a nose bleed, and [[Ruairi_Cromwell|Ruairi]], who got multiple scrapes during the fight, took him up on this offer. Both had no lasting injuries and will make a quick and full recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the festival started to wind down he stumble across the &#039;&#039;Weary Dream&#039;s Pop Up Booth&#039;&#039;, manned by [[Suhaan_Mavarei|Suhaan]], where the beautiful shine of the &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;A Drop of Ichor&#039;s Flame&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; earrings caught his eye. He bought a pair that he would send to his mother back a home, together with a letter recounting the event to his parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Gourd Fest 1230 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Alula]] sent a request for assistance to the Guild after a [[The Stageplay of Frights|Pitfall dungeon]] appeared in its territory Astrophel already knew he was going to be sent out for it, especially since [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] decided to brave it as her first dungeon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After getting all the provisions ready, he meets with [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] and [[Hyalt_Keylen|Hyalt]] who were already going together and once they try to find transportation they end up paired with [[Mauriell Somata|Mauriell]] and [[Selena_Idris|Selena]], who are also going to the dungeon. Together they make one weird little party as they travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once they reach the dungeon in Alula, Phel follows the &#039;&#039;&#039;Hall of Tragedy&#039;&#039;&#039; path. It’s an arduous task to maintain his teammates healthy while the dungeon influence’s try to chip away at their mental state, but [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina&#039;s]] presence helps ground him and Phel manages to stay steady through it. Except in the group’s last confrontation against the boss of the dungeon, where [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]], with the help of [[Hyalt_Keylen|Hyalt]], comes up with a maneuver to do significant damage to the boss but ends up getting flung in the air and crashing against the ground in the process. This sends Astrophel into a terrified fatherly rampage as he tries to get to her, blinded by fear he snaps at anyone trying to get close to the unconscious woman and even &#039;&#039;&#039;ends up hurting [[Mauriell Somata|Mauriell]]&#039;&#039;&#039; during it. He spends the rest of the time inside the dungeon trying to stabilize Jaina and get her to wake up, the only thing he takes as loot from the dungeon is a single &#039;&#039;&#039;silver shoulder pauldron&#039;&#039;&#039; for [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the dungeon he heals his teammates and waits for [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] to wake up; which thankfully she does. The remainder of his time in Alula is spent agonizing over the dungeon’s events in guilty silence, he misses a majority of [[Holidays|Whisperween]] celebrations as he instead chooses to rest together with [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]]. If asked why he was so quiet he simply chalks it up to his &#039;&#039;&#039;injured throat&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suffice to say his experience with the dungeon was very terrible; the doctor feels like he didn’t enact his role as healer and shield as well as he could have and that he let his teammates down most of the time. He feels especially terrible at letting [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] get as badly hurt as she did and was honestly terrified at how easily he could have lost her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, one question stuck to his mind even after leaving the dungeon: when fighting against their reflections, why did his look &#039;&#039;exactly&#039;&#039; the same when everyone else’s didn’t?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;…Or did it…?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sundance 1230 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the end of the year draws near and the celebrations of Sundance begin, Phel wraps up most of the loose ends related to his job before taking some much needed time off so he can properly enjoy the holiday’s festivities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel had already been preparing himself for them, specifically the exchange of wish tags. Drafts for those were written long before the festival even started so he could have his thoughts in order and be able to deliver them all in time. Every friend or coworker Phel has interacted with received one, but most notably are the ones he wrote for [[Ruairi_Cromwell|Ruairi]], [[Maya_Nephim|Maya]], [[Megumi_Nen|Megumi]], [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] and [[Nine|Nine]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He takes the opportunity to go all out dressing himself up in pretty soft whites, deep dark blues and shimmering silvers like the moon itself. Besides the obvious wandering around the brightly decorated streets, browsing food stalls and all the merchants&#039; wares, what Phel looked forward the most were the dances; something he always enjoys but has few chances to actually do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thankfully he was able to dance to his heart’s content, be it friends, coworkers or even strangers – if he was asked to, he gladly accepted the invitation. However, there were two dances he enjoyed the most.&lt;br /&gt;
With Jaina it was a given. A cheery song for family where they spun around each other, the clinking of their silver accessories mixing with the joy of their laugh to create its own particular symphony. And once the song comes to an end and Jaina&#039;s smile is as radiant as the sun and the moon, he can’t help but think how proud of her he is.&lt;br /&gt;
But with Nine it was a surprise. Phel had convinced himself the man wouldn’t be one to enjoy the festivities and had foregone even trying to invite him at all; perhaps being more scared of simply being rejected by Nine than he’d like to admit. Seeing him right there illuminated by the streetlights and garbed in fancy long robes he hadn’t ever seen the man wear before was enough to knock the air out of his lungs. Somehow Phel manages to get his brain working again so he can ask Nine for a dance, and despite stumbling into each other a bit – who knew Nine didn’t know how to dance – it manages to be the most fun he’s had dancing in a while..&lt;br /&gt;
They go back to the kindred’s dorm together. Phel’s and Alex’s relationship grows even closer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year comes to a close and he can say for certain that, despite every struggle, it was a good one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Summary ==&lt;br /&gt;
Delivered directly. Seems like there’s something else inside… a tiny little charm. Ruairi is likely to recognize the design, something he might have seen before at Frog Jeff&#039;s but never bought; the flimsy material something that wouldn&#039;t last very long with him. But this one is different. Rather than colorful plastic this one is made out of heat proof metal, glinting like gold when it hits the sunlight. Guess this one can survive being attached to one of his swords.... probably.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

General description of Astrophel&#039;s contributions on any events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]&#039;s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Phoenix Fest 1230 ==&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel was essentially on call during the entire festival, running around healing minor burns, scrapped knees of children who stumbled around in their excitement, hangover drunks who had one too many drinks and... people who swear they ate lava?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among those injuried is [[Nyx_Roseblood|Nyx]], the sheep kindred who he meet after she broke her arm in a arm wrestling match against [[Selena_Idris|Selena]] (&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Who in their right mind would arm wrestle a damn dragon?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;). Surprisingly, she wasn&#039;t put off by his personality and now seems to pop by the medical wing with scrapes for him to treat and to boist about her latest battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is also how Phel found himself visiting the &#039;&#039;Sugar Cube Booth&#039;&#039;, manned by [[Bunny_Burrows|Bunny]], after [[Nyx_Roseblood|Nyx]] had left the medical wing and forgotten to take her painkillers. He had heard about the [[Sugarbuns_Patisserie|Sugarbuns Patisserie]] before, hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got server actual sugary ambrosia, but he hadn&#039;t visited it. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He keeps hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot;, and after one too many people come in asking for medical attention with red faces and tears in their eyes because they swear they can feel their stomachs melting, he decides to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say it is. He ends up buying half a dozen of your cinnabombs and a dozen of other pastries, the sweet pastries he takes as a gift to the other [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] members. Maybe he&#039;ll visit again, if the spicy treats stay on the menu...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel also found himself helping [[Valhalla_Project|Valhalla Project]]&#039;s very own Phoenix Festival. He was generally just a helping hand for whaterver task the siblings threw at him and stayed on duty in case of any accidents, he also brings mutiple bottles of spiced mead from Tírr to share. Thankfully, the event went without a hitch and the kids surprisingly took a liking to him? Especially [[Fovelly]] who, due to her propensity to stumble over herself, had Phel hanging aroud her making sure she didn&#039;t get hurt and getting many piggyback rides. The twins [[Pollux_and_Castor|Pollux]] and [[Pollux_and_Castor|Castor]] also enjoyed messing around with him, trying to catch his tail and snatch his rings until they got snacks. By the end of the event he recieved a handmade dreamcatcher which he now keeps safely tucked near his bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he sneaked in a hefty donation while everyone is busy nobody has to know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he didn&#039;t take part on the subjugation of [[Loco_Motion|Loco Motion]], he offered to treat whoever was injured in the aftermath. [[Eleanor_Valentine|Ella]], who got a nose bleed, and [[Ruairi_Cromwell|Ruairi]], who got multiple scrapes during the fight, took him up on this offer. Both had no lasting injuries and will make a quick and full recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the festival started to wind down he stumble across the &#039;&#039;Weary Dream&#039;s Pop Up Booth&#039;&#039;, manned by [[Suhaan_Mavarei|Suhaan]], where the beautiful shine of the &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;A Drop of Ichor&#039;s Flame&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; earrings caught his eye. He bought a pair that he would send to his mother back a home, together with a letter recounting the event to his parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;display:inline-block;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[File:VPPF Dreamcatcher.png|100px|thumb|Dream catcher recieved by participating in the Valhala Phoenix Festival.]]&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;display:inline-block;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[File:PhoeFes1230_Aftermath_Ruru.png|282px|thumb|Phel treating Ruru injuries after the Loco Motion subjugation.]]&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Gourd Fest 1230 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Alula]] sent a request for assistance to the Guild after a [[The Stageplay of Frights|Pitfall dungeon]] appeared in its territory Astrophel already knew he was going to be sent out for it, especially since [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] decided to brave it as her first dungeon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After getting all the provisions ready, he meets with [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] and [[Hyalt_Keylen|Hyalt]] who were already going together and once they try to find transportation they end up paired with [[Mauriell Somata|Mauriell]] and [[Selena_Idris|Selena]], who are also going to the dungeon. Together they make one weird little party as they travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once they reach the dungeon in Alula, Phel follows the &#039;&#039;&#039;Hall of Tragedy&#039;&#039;&#039; path. It’s an arduous task to maintain his teammates healthy while the dungeon influence’s try to chip away at their mental state, but [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina&#039;s]] presence helps ground him and Phel manages to stay steady through it. Except in the group’s last confrontation against the boss of the dungeon, where [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]], with the help of [[Hyalt_Keylen|Hyalt]], comes up with a maneuver to do significant damage to the boss but ends up getting flung in the air and crashing against the ground in the process. This sends Astrophel into a terrified fatherly rampage as he tries to get to her, blinded by fear he snaps at anyone trying to get close to the unconscious woman and even &#039;&#039;&#039;ends up hurting [[Mauriell Somata|Mauriell]]&#039;&#039;&#039; during it. He spends the rest of the time inside the dungeon trying to stabilize Jaina and get her to wake up, the only thing he takes as loot from the dungeon is a single &#039;&#039;&#039;silver shoulder pauldron&#039;&#039;&#039; for [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the dungeon he heals his teammates and waits for [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] to wake up; which thankfully she does. The remainder of his time in Alula is spent agonizing over the dungeon’s events in guilty silence, he misses a majority of [[Holidays|Whisperween]] celebrations as he instead chooses to rest together with [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]]. If asked why he was so quiet he simply chalks it up to his &#039;&#039;&#039;injured throat&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suffice to say his experience with the dungeon was very terrible; the doctor feels like he didn’t enact his role as healer and shield as well as he could have and that he let his teammates down most of the time. He feels especially terrible at letting [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina]] get as badly hurt as she did and was honestly terrified at how easily he could have lost her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, one question stuck to his mind even after leaving the dungeon: when fighting against their reflections, why did his look &#039;&#039;exactly&#039;&#039; the same when everyone else’s didn’t?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;…Or did it…?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Astrophel Argentum&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Races#Kindred|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Lesser Kindred&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] originally from [[Tírr]] who works as an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Contingency Division&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]]. A reliable man with a reserved nature, often told &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;he doesn&#039;t look like a doctor&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; due to his intimidating personality and looks. Much to his chagrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is a pretty intimidating figure, standing at 6&#039;11&amp;quot; with broad shoulders and muscular build, not helped by the perpetual furrow to his brow, a scowl that always shows his lower fangs due to underbite and sharp eyes with heterochromia, right eye is hazel and left is green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His dark skin is littered with scars big and small, both from his childhood and his time on the field. Tiny moles can be found in various places. Has long white hair with black tips that reaches around his ribs. As a snow leopard Kindred, Phel has some animal traits such as round fluffy ears, a particularly long fluffy tail, sharp claws and facial markings around his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If not wearing his work clothes you&#039;ll mostly see him wearing clothes appropriated for cold weather, things like sweaters, button up shirts, jackets, boots and furs in some way. Generally in neutral tones with few splashes of color. While not really vain, Astrophel takes care of his appearance, especially his hair and fur. Often changes hairstyles but always has braids in some way. Likes to use silver jewelry, has many piercings on his ears and a nose bridge one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is often regarded as unapproachable and intimidating due to his normally taciturn nature, he doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter and generally keeps his thoughts to himself. On top of that, his frank approach and crass manner of speaking often make him seem more aggressive than he actually is.  He&#039;s just very undersocialized, which makes him awkward and often unaware of social cues. Secretly, a bit lonely too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to his particularly rough childhood living on the streets he has grown slightly wary of others at first, he often puts his walls up expecting people to have negative intentions towards him and slowly puts them down with time. His background has also made very resilient and self-sufficient; he’s not incapable of asking for help but he does try to refrain from doing so. While he hasn’t  noticed yet, he’s very nurturing of other people and discreetly encourages anyone he sees potential in, wishing to give them the same chance of having someone to support them like his parents once gave him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under his parents&#039; care he has grown to be a very hardworking and humble man who doesn’t take things for granted and respects even the most menial of works. This eventually leads him to be regarded as a particularly reliable person who fulfills whatever task is handed to him. To those close to him he is a fiercely loyal and protective companion, who shows his care through quiet action, unabashedly affectionate too. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When younger he used to have a quick temper and would quickly result to violence at the slightest provocation, he has since curbed this and is much more level-headed. But old habits die hard and he might still snap if pushed to his limits or if provoked just right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Likes:&#039;&#039;&#039; plushies, stargazing, warmth (he is a cat), napping, hearty &amp;amp; spicy food, comfy things, coffee, silver jewelry, romantic stuff, being useful, hairstyling, mead, his family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dislikes:&#039;&#039;&#039; sudden or constant loud noises (sensitive ears), tooth rotting sweet food, pungent scents &amp;amp; smoke (sensitive nose), liars, privileged people, authority figures who abuse their power, poverty, big &amp;amp; deep bodies of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-Guild ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was a very young child he wandered about [[Tírr]] with no biological family to speak of. He had always been all alone, fighting fang and claw for survival in the cold and unforgiving streets. Because nobody was coming to help him, he had to do it himself. Life on the streets was brutal and as he got older it got harder. Despite how unfair life was to him from such a young age Astrophel fought to remain hopeful that people weren’t inherently terrible and that there was kindness in the world, even if it wasn’t directed at him. But hope becomes a fragile thing when faced with the cruelty of those around him and Phel starts to grow colder, wary, bitter and angry. Very angry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kindred spent a total of twelve years of his life surviving like this. Until on Crevasse 19 of 1192 he gets gravely injured on his left shoulder and in his panic to heal the injury ends up freezing himself. Luckily he was saved by [[Sigvard_Argentum|Sigvard Argentum]] who took the young boy to the clinic he shared with his wife [[Natasha_Argentum|Natasha Argentum]], there he was given the time to recover and offered a place to stay. Once the Argentums take him under their wing they teach him how to better control his aspect as well as a multitude of things related to medicine to keep the boy’s mind and hands busy. It takes Astrophel a very long time to feel the slightest bit safe in their presence but through their steady efforts he begins to be hopeful again and feel like he has a place to belong to. The Argentums grew very fond of the boy and in 1193 they officially offered to adopt him as their child. Phel doesn’t know what it’s like to &#039;&#039;have&#039;&#039; a family or &#039;&#039;how&#039;&#039; to be a son. Still he accepts, and thus Astrophel &#039;&#039;Argentum&#039;&#039; is born.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel develops a passion for helping people in need as he feels it’s in his nature to heal those in pain, eventually leading him to study at [[Education_Division_Academy|Education Division Academy]] in [[Eversun_City|Eversun]] and become a doctor. Still, he feels slightly dissatisfied with his life while working in his family’s clinic due to the frustration at not being able to heal people &#039;&#039;sooner&#039;&#039;. Astrophel applied for the [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] and was accepted in 1220.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Guild Days ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] for the last ten years, Phel finally feels satisfied with his place in life and has earned a certain amount of respect and trust from his peers due to his reliable nature, even if he does intimidate people sometimes. His skills and experience are so valued he is even recommended to work in collaboration with the [[Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]] during their excursions. During one of those excursions in 1228 is when he meets [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina Ryder]], a bright young woman who lost her parents when her home was corrupted by law. They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of tutelage under his parents and studying medicine in the Education Division, Astrophel has become a phenomenal doctor whose expertise is greatly valued. His skills particularly shine when sent out on missions. While Phel might be a doctor he is not afraid of combat, he has enough grasp on how to fight and can easily be left to fend for himself on the field which makes him a valuable member to have on particularly difficult missions or emergencies. If worse comes to worst, Phel will defend his patients and teammates with fierce devotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His fighting style isn’t very offensive, rather focusing on pushing away, incapacitating or slowing down his opponents so they can’t harm whoever he’s protecting and giving time to a more offensive fighter to come take care of the problem. He isn’t a fighter, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Heart ===&lt;br /&gt;
Phel’s ice aspect, for some reason, makes his body temperature very cold. It has no impact on his health or anything just makes him a walking ice cube. For the longest time he wasn’t aware this was a thing and thought he was just particularly sensitive to the cold weather of Tírr, since leaving for Eversun he discovered that isn’t the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Frigid Touch ===&lt;br /&gt;
The main way he uses his aspect, to heal. Upon touching his patients wounds a layer of frost will cover the area to heal them, depending on how deep or serious the wounds are this layer of frost will vary in thickness. While greatly effective it is somewhat unpleasant; described as &#039;&#039;“akin to standing in snow for too long”&#039;&#039;; he tries not to overly rely on it for the sake of his patient’s comfort, they are always left with a slight chill afterwards. Also used to detect injuries on others by touching them with his hands and sending “waves” of coldness to find where it hurts. His hands also get colder after use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used not to have as much control over it when he was young and could easily cause frostbite. Has done so to himself by accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Boreal Barrier ===&lt;br /&gt;
If not able to put himself between danger and whoever he’s trying to protect in time Astrophel can use his aspect to create a shield in front of someone. It isn’t as strong as his shield but it works in a pinch until he can reach the other person. As the name suggests it looks a bit aurora borealis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Claw ===&lt;br /&gt;
As a last resort, if Astrophel doesn’t have backup, his shield or can’t fight whatever is attacking him with his fists, he can create small daggers made of ice. They are very primitive in shape, looking more like icicles. This is a technique he made as a child and never refined so he’s likely to overexert himself and, often, hurts his hands. Only one can exist at a time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Icebreaker&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel&#039;s weapon of choice, a shield. It&#039;s a custom piece made of moonlight silver gifted to him by his parents when he finished his studies, very big and heavy with ice, stars and moon motifs. It’s a constant reminder to what he achieves to be – a shield ready to protect and help those in need. It&#039;s around 4&#039;2&amp;quot; in height (idk about weight man). Yes, he also bashes people with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thermal Thigh Pouch ===&lt;br /&gt;
Quite literally can always be seen with it, he carries a multitude of medical supplies and other useful items inside of it. Mostly, Phel carries around this pouch with warm drinks and simple snacks to give them just a little bit of comfort and replenish their strength, since healing leaves his patients uncomfortably cold. It&#039;s either filled with coffee, tea or different types of soup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Marshmallow&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
A unicorn plushie gifted to him by his parents –  his first real gift, his first real possession, his first real ‘’friend’’ – and the first plushie of his collection. The thing is big and surprisingly soft despite its years. It has a place of honor on his bed and brings him great comfort, especially when he misses his parents. He seems to speak with it sometimes, however silly he knows it might be.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Overview|1 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum|2 Link Name=Relationships|2 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Relationships|3 Link Name=Gallery|3 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Gallery|4 Link Name=Events|4 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Events}}&lt;br /&gt;
=== Childhood ===&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel cannot remember where he actually came from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was a very young child he wandered about [[Tírr]] with no biological family to speak of; or if he did, he had no idea who they were and where they went. He had always been all alone, fighting fang and claw for survival in the cold and unforgiving streets; learning how to fight, how to steal, how to hide, how to hiss, how to spit up blood and push himself off of the ground when he fell. Because nobody was coming to help him, he had to do it himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is also how he learned how to &#039;&#039;heal&#039;&#039;. His aspect manifested through sheer desperation for survival, healing himself with his own hands so he could live to see another day. The kindred’s methods weren’t perfect however, he had no idea how to use his powerful aspect properly and no one to teach him so it would cause him more harm than good when used. He limited his use of self healing to life threatening injuries and even so he would still suffer the consequences of it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Life on the streets was brutal, everyday he faced the harsh reality that he was always in danger and one small slip up might cost him his life. As he got older it got harder, people around him stopped seeing him as a pitiful small child who they could throw scraps at to make themselves feel better and started treating him like a cumbersome preteen stray whose mere presence was an inconvenience. There was no such thing as security in his life and he lacked any older figure who could give him guidance and safety. Phel often wondered how long he could make it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite how unfair life was to him from such a young age; how much pain he had to endure and how many terrible things he had to accept as the norm; Astrophel fought to remain hopeful that people weren’t inherently terrible and that there was kindness in the world, even if it wasn’t directed at him. But hope becomes a fragile thing when faced with the cruelty of those around him and Phel starts to grow colder, wary, bitter and angry. &#039;&#039;Very&#039;&#039; angry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Becoming an Argentum ===&lt;br /&gt;
The kindred spent a total of twelve years of his life surviving like this. Until on Crevasse 19 of 1192 he gets gravely injured on his left shoulder and in his panic to heal the injury ends up freezing himself. Luckily he was saved by [[Sigvard_Argentum|Sigvard Argentum]] who took the young boy to the clinic he shared with his wife [[Natasha_Argentum|Natasha Argentum]], there he was given the time to recover and offered a place to stay. Once the Argentums take him under their wing they teach him how to better control his aspect as well as a multitude of things related to medicine to keep the boy’s mind and hands busy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It takes Astrophel a very long time to feel the slightest bit safe in their presence; constantly waiting for them to hurt him or change their minds and kick him out for one reason or another, for them to notice he’s more trouble than he’s worth; but through their steady efforts he begins to be hopeful again and feel like he has a place to belong to. The Argentums grew very fond of the boy and in 1193 they officially offered to adopt him as their child. Phel has no idea what to make of that, wary that it might somehow be a trick and feeling completely out of his depth as he doesn’t know what it’s like to &#039;&#039;have&#039;&#039; a family or &#039;&#039;how&#039;&#039; to be a son. Still he accepts, and thus Astrophel &#039;&#039;Argentum&#039;&#039; is born.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adapting to his new life is incredibly difficult and doesn’t come without its stumbles, but Natasha and Sigvard are dedicated to making him feel safe and comfortable, letting him take his time to adjust to the new environment and trying their best to understand their son’s struggles, fear, anxieties and peculiarities. Astrophel grows to be a very humble and honest man with a kind heart, yet stunted in various aspects of his life due to his earlier upbringing. But he is nothing if not hardworking, taking those shortcomings in stride and putting in the effort to slowly improve himself, always backed by his parents unwavering support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Career Path ===&lt;br /&gt;
Nurtured by his parents, Phel, who always had an inclination for healing magic, develops a passion for helping people in need as he feels it’s in his nature to heal those in pain. This eventually leads him to follow medicine as his career path of choice and in 1203 he leaves to study at [[Education_Division_Academy|Education Division Academy]] in [[Eversun_City|Eversun]]. Despite his struggles to understand the theoretical parts of the field as well as his slower pace of studies and his anxieties about being in a new environment around so many people he doesn’t know, he graduated with impressive marks in 1215 and became a doctor. Still, he feels slightly dissatisfied with his life while working in his family’s clinic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer for his dissatisfaction comes with the realization that he feels frustrated at not being able to heal people sooner. He decides that while his purpose is to heal he isn’t meant to stay indoors in hospitals or clinics, he’s meant to be out helping people as soon as they get hurt or even preventing them from such. Astrophel applied for the [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] in 1219 and only one year later, in 1220, he was accepted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Guild Days ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]], Phel finally feels satisfied with his place in life and has earned a certain amount of respect and trust from his peers due to his reliable nature, even if he does intimidate people sometimes. His skills and experience are so valued he is even recommended to work in collaboration with the [[Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]] during their excursions. During one of those excursions in 1228 is when he meets [[Jaina_Ryder|Jaina Ryder]], a bright young woman who lost her parents when her home was corrupted by law. They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Astrophel Argentum&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Races#Kindred|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Lesser Kindred&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] originally from [[Tírr]] who works as an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Contingency Division&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]]. A reliable man with a reserved nature, often told &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;he doesn&#039;t look like a doctor&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; due to his intimidating personality and looks. Much to his chagrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is a pretty intimidating figure, standing at 6&#039;11&amp;quot; with broad shoulders and muscular build, not helped by the perpetual furrow to his brow, a scowl that always shows his lower fangs due to underbite and sharp eyes with heterochromia, right eye is hazel and left is green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His dark skin is littered with scars big and small, both from his childhood and his time on the field. Tiny moles can be found in various places. Has long white hair with black tips that reaches around his ribs. As a snow leopard Kindred, Phel has some animal traits such as round fluffy ears, a particularly long fluffy tail, sharp claws and facial markings around his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If not wearing his work clothes you&#039;ll mostly see him wearing clothes appropriated for cold weather, things like sweaters, button up shirts, jackets, boots and furs in some way. Generally in neutral tones with few splashes of color. While not really vain, Astrophel takes care of his appearance, especially his hair and fur. Often changes hairstyles but always has braids in some way. Likes to use silver jewelry, has many piercings on his ears and a nose bridge one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is often regarded as unapproachable and intimidating due to his normally taciturn nature, he doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter and generally keeps his thoughts to himself. On top of that, his frank approach and crass manner of speaking often make him seem more aggressive than he actually is.  He&#039;s just very undersocialized, which makes him awkward and often unaware of social cues. Secretly, a bit lonely too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to his particularly rough childhood living on the streets he has grown slightly wary of others at first, he often puts his walls up expecting people to have negative intentions towards him and slowly puts them down with time. His background has also made very resilient and self-sufficient; he’s not incapable of asking for help but he does try to refrain from doing so. While he hasn’t  noticed yet, he’s very nurturing of other people and discreetly encourages anyone he sees potential in, wishing to give them the same chance of having someone to support them like his parents once gave him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under his parents&#039; care he has grown to be a very hardworking and humble man who doesn’t take things for granted and respects even the most menial of works. This eventually leads him to be regarded as a particularly reliable person who fulfills whatever task is handed to him. To those close to him he is a fiercely loyal and protective companion, who shows his care through quiet action, unabashedly affectionate too. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When younger he used to have a quick temper and would quickly result to violence at the slightest provocation, he has since curbed this and is much more level-headed. But old habits die hard and he might still snap if pushed to his limits or if provoked just right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Likes:&#039;&#039;&#039; plushies, stargazing, warmth (he is a cat), napping, hearty &amp;amp; spicy food, comfy things, coffee, silver jewelry, romantic stuff, being useful, hairstyling, mead, his family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dislikes:&#039;&#039;&#039; sudden or constant loud noises (sensitive ears), tooth rotting sweet food, pungent scents &amp;amp; smoke (sensitive nose), liars, privileged people, authority figures who abuse their power, poverty, big &amp;amp; deep bodies of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of tutelage under his parents and studying medicine in the Education Division, Astrophel has become a phenomenal doctor whose expertise is greatly valued. His skills particularly shine when sent out on missions. While Phel might be a doctor he is not afraid of combat, he has enough grasp on how to fight and can easily be left to fend for himself on the field which makes him a valuable member to have on particularly difficult missions or emergencies. If worse comes to worst, Phel will defend his patients and teammates with fierce devotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His fighting style isn’t very offensive, rather focusing on pushing away, incapacitating or slowing down his opponents so they can’t harm whoever he’s protecting and giving time to a more offensive fighter to come take care of the problem. He isn’t a fighter, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Heart ===&lt;br /&gt;
Phel’s ice aspect, for some reason, makes his body temperature very cold. It has no impact on his health or anything just makes him a walking ice cube. For the longest time he wasn’t aware this was a thing and thought he was just particularly sensitive to the cold weather of Tírr, since leaving for Eversun he discovered that isn’t the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The main way he uses his aspect, to heal. Upon touching his patients wounds a layer of frost will cover the area to heal them, depending on how deep or serious the wounds are this layer of frost will vary in thickness. While greatly effective it is somewhat unpleasant; described as &#039;&#039;“akin to standing in snow for too long”&#039;&#039;; he tries not to overly rely on it for the sake of his patient’s comfort, they are always left with a slight chill afterwards. Also used to detect injuries on others by touching them with his hands and sending “waves” of coldness to find where it hurts. His hands also get colder after use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used not to have as much control over it when he was young and could easily cause frostbite. Has done so to himself by accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Boreal Barrier ===&lt;br /&gt;
If not able to put himself between danger and whoever he’s trying to protect in time Astrophel can use his aspect to create a shield in front of someone. It isn’t as strong as his shield but it works in a pinch until he can reach the other person. As the name suggests it looks a bit aurora borealis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Claw ===&lt;br /&gt;
As a last resort, if Astrophel doesn’t have backup, his shield or can’t fight whatever is attacking him with his fists, he can create small daggers made of ice. They are very primitive in shape, looking more like icicles. This is a technique he made as a child and never refined so he’s likely to overexert himself and, often, hurts his hands. Only one can exist at a time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thermal Thigh Pouch ===&lt;br /&gt;
Quite literally can always be seen with it, he carries a multitude of medical supplies and other useful items inside of it. Mostly, Phel carries around this pouch with warm drinks and simple snacks to give them just a little bit of comfort and replenish their strength, since healing leaves his patients uncomfortably cold. It&#039;s either filled with coffee, tea or different types of soup.&lt;br /&gt;

* Is secretly slightly self conscious about his handwriting. He feels it’s very blocky and ugly, but it’s readable so he shouldn’t care.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hates being called “kitty/kitten” with a passion. Don&#039;t call him that. Ever.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m holding him up by the scruff of his neck. PLEASE throw people at him, he needs the social interaction (even if he&#039;s grumpy about it).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Natasha Argentum &amp;amp; Sigvard Argentum]] ─ parents ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An intelligent woman and a gruff man who adopted Astrophel. While the circumstances of their first meeting weren’t ideal and their relationship was incredibly rocky at first the Argentums never gave up on him, slowly but surely they became people who let Phel feel safe and loved for the first time in his life. Once he moves away to work in the Contingency Division, Phel deeply misses them and feels horribly homesick, yet they always make sure to keep contact and visit as much as possible. He holds his parents in the highest regards, Phel loves both of them very dearly and is thankful everyday they are the ones who found him and gave him a home to belong to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He’s deeply proud to call himself their son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ─ daughter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brave scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was a member of the squadron assigned to contain the law corruption that overtook Jaina’s home, where he found her devastated mourning her recently deceased parents. Despite being bad at it, Astrophel tried his best to offer her a modicum of comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Thankfully she wasn’t badly affected by the corruption and made a full recovery, yet, she surprisingly decided to keep in contact with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship. When she told him about her decision to join the Outerworld Division he was terribly against it, citing how she shouldn’t be responsible for carrying the burden of her parents&#039; research. Of course, she didn’t falter when faced with his disapproval so he, begrudgingly, conceded as long as she takes care of herself and doesn’t do anything reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel feels very proud of her; despite living through such a terrible event she remains a kind and compassionate person. A strong young woman with a bright future ahead of her, she’s &#039;&#039;his daughter&#039;&#039; in every way except in legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nine]] ─ partner, a bit intimidating===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A aloof housekeeper who works in the same Division as him. They meet when Astrophel is asked by Freyja to take over a checkup with Nine while she was away. Nine, of course, didn’t show up and Phel had to basically corner the other man in his “office”.  Their relationship started… &#039;&#039;difficult&#039;&#039;, to say the least. Maybe Nine pointed a knife at him and Phel was ready to kill him by their third meeting. But they were able to mend things with the help of Jaina, who has decided that both of them are her parental figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passes, they start seeing each other more frequently – paths crossing in corridors, popping by one another’s office, tiny check ups on the other’s well being –  slowly but surely grow close.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe &#039;&#039;closer&#039;&#039; than they thought. After Phel invites him to go stargazing together – totally &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; a date – Nine comes to realize he genuinely cares about the kindred. And once he invites Phel out for coffee at the [[Morning Roost]] – &#039;&#039;totally&#039;&#039; a date – the jealousy he feels seeing the owner Lianne showing interest in the other man pushes Nine to be honest about his feelings. While caught off guard; this man is way too dense; Phel reciprocates and they start dating. However their relationship will develop is anyone’s guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He still thinks Nine is very &#039;&#039;weird&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Maya Nephim]] ─ beloved friend, greatly respects, grieves ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bright doctor who worked in the same Division as him. Maya was one of the first to reach out and befriend him when he joined the Contingency Division. Slowly and insistently dragging him out of his shell, she took his blunt and taciturn nature in stride and never made him feel like he had to water himself down to be deserving of company. They grew to be quite friendly and caring, often trusting each other’s expertise and checking on each other’s wellbeing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite her young age she was incredibly skilled in her field, in many ways Phel saw her as the kind of doctor he aspired to be; kind, caring and dedicated. She could have had a bright future ahead of her if fate hadn’t decided to cut her life short. Astrophel was the first person to realize she was sick, once he did he furiously searched for the cause of what was ailing her and how to cure it. All to no avail. Her condition quickly declined and one day she was simply gone. Maya was gone. Overcome with grief after her passing, Phel takes a long leave from work to go back home and recover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He secretly feels a heavy sense of uselessness over Maya’s passing and considers it one the biggest mistakes of his career as a doctor, however he tries not to dwell on such feelings, she wouldn’t have liked that after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than visiting her grave on the day she passed away, Astrophel visits it on her birthday and leaves her a bouquet of lilies, preferring to remember her for who she was when she was alive rather than the illness that took her. A single white lily can be found pressed on one of the books in his rooms, a memento from Maya. The fragrance bothers him, he hopes it continues that way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ruairi Cromwell]] ─ great friend, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skilled adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. Their paths crossed after Ruairi got scrapped during the fight with [[Loco Motion]]. While Phel thought their relationship would stay simply professional, Ruairi’s charismatic personality  has slowly chipped away at the doctor’s icy exterior. Surprisingly they have a lot more in common than Astrophel thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His fighting prowess and calm demeanor make him a good companion when they happen to work on the same team; Ruairi makes up for what Phel lacks in speed and offensive power. Together on the field they work seamlessly and Phel completely trusts the other kindred to have his back.&lt;br /&gt;
Funny enough, even their aspects seem to compliment each other. Both of them have unusual body temperatures due to their aspect, Ruairi can rarely lose control of his aspect and start setting things on fire while Phel can overuse his and start freezing his hands. They’ve found ways to help each other regulate their aspect when such things happen, it’s not unusual to see the doctor putting his hands on the other man when he’s within distance just so he can steal some of Ruairi’s warmth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite their friendliness they do butt heads sometimes, something Phel is glad Ruairi isn’t afraid to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nyx Roseblood]] ─ capable fighter, surprisingly fun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A boisterous adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, they meet after Nyx broke her arm in a wrestling match against Selena. Despite her… unique personality and overall rowdiness Astrophel finds her surprisingly endearing and fun to have around. She often comes by the medical wing to get her injuries treated and talk his ear off about her, often embellished, recountings of her latest mission accomplishment. Although she exaggerates it, she is in fact a formidable fighter and Phel greatly respects her strength, if assigned on a mission together he knows she’ll hold her own just fine. He finds himself missing her company and worrying about her safety when she’s gone. Nobody has to know how much she reminds him of the cute fluffy sheep back at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Freyja Lest]] ─ coworker, greatly respects ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skillful botanical doctor who works in the same Division as him. Due to her seniority and approachable personality, he feels comfortable consulting her when it comes to medicinal herbs. Astrophel greatly respects her passion and dedication to her work, her single minded focus on whatever she’s researching is impressive, but he wishes she would not skip meals and take a few breaks in between. While he will never admit it, he feels a bit of kinship towards her since both are snow leopard kindred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Senti Ballahast]] ─ coworker, protective of, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shy medical student who works in the same Division as him. While his nervous nature made Astrophel concerned if he was really fit to be a healer, Senti has more than proved himself by sheer determination and hardwork. Phel has found himself being sort of protective over the youngest member of the Division, giving him pointers in whatever areas he can and (secretly) offering to be paired up with him when sent out to the field to give him more experience. While Senti still has a long way to go, Phel can confidently say he’ll make an exceptional doctor in the future. While he will never admit it he finds himself being curious over him since Phel hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Odin Finch]] ─ greatly respects, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seasoned squadron captain working in the Outerworld Division and co-founder of the Valhalla Project. Astrophel had heard a lot about the renowned and fearsome captain and her great feats on the field but he was particularly surprised when they worked together for the first time, her carefree and friendly personality weren’t what he was expecting at all. By watching how she is towards others he quickly grows to greatly respect her and he finds that her reputation does precede her, she truly is a competent fighter and leader, he trusts her judgement and knows she’ll have his back. Once he learns about her background he develops a quiet kinship towards her - she &#039;&#039;understands&#039;&#039; what is like to live off of scraps, to not have a roof over your head and the constant uncertainty of it all. The moment he hears about her efforts in the Valhalla Project his respect towards her skyrockets and he quickly offers to help wherever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Korin Altair]] ─ dependable, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reserved co-founder of the Valhalla Project. They only meet after Astrophel has been contributing in the orphanage for a while and he had no idea what to make of him at first, his serious demeanor and overall quietness made it seem like he had no interest in idle chit chat so Phel just let him be. He does come to realize how caring he is towards the orphans and his deep dedication to the project. While they don’t cross paths super often, they have developed a slight camaraderie and can be found riling each other up with sarcastic quips over a good meal and drink when they happen to meet. Phel feels a sense of quiet kinship towards him just like he does to Odin. However… in rare moments he feels a small sense of unease around him, and he cannot put his finger on &#039;&#039;why&#039;&#039;…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ─ concerned about, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A placid researcher working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet due to Hanzekihels’ poor health and Faltered condition often landing him on the medical wing. His uninterested approach made him seem rather cold at first but Astrophel finds that they are both just people who don’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter. Slowly, they bonded over quiet companionship, interest in constellations and complete opposite tastes in food. While Hanze is an intelligent man this intelligence seems to vanish when it comes to taking care of himself, often skipping meals and pulling all nighters, which lead to Phel taking it onto himself to try to get him to eat proper meals and go to bed at reasonable times if he hears about it. If you see Astrophel carrying him over his shoulder please don’t worry about it, trust me it’s for his own good. Doctors orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Monica Holst]] ─ concerned about, protective of, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An energetic scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was assigned to go into the same Bubble as Monica when her squadron was attacked, he was on the next squadron supposed to take the shift after hers. When her squadron was late for the shift change they were all concerned, when she stumbled out of the bubble - alone, completely alone - Phel was one of the first people to get to her. This event took a terrible toll on her, he was convinced she wasn’t gonna make it at some points and yet she made it - not without sequels. He finds himself paying them visits and checking up on them when he can, he develops a protective feeling towards them - and maybe, just maybe, he feels a little guilty he couldn’t come to their aid sooner. Since they share an interest in plushies, Phel keeps an eye out for any cute ones to give to her when they meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lyna Solai]] ─ friendly, dependable, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An upbeat environmental surveyor working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet because of their mutual relationship with Freyja, while he expected them to stay as just acquaintances Lynas’ general charismatic personality slowly wormed her way into a more friendly connection. Astrophel finds her genuine curiosity and eagerness to understand everything around her refreshing. Lynas’ draconic origins shocked him, not only because duh, &#039;&#039;she’s a dragon&#039;&#039;, but also because she looks so &#039;&#039;adorable&#039;&#039; when in her dragon form. He will never utter a word about it, but she reminds him a lot of his beloved plushies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bunny Burrows]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A kind and charismatic patisserie owner of the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie. While Astrophel had heard about the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie before - hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got severe actual sugary ambrosia - he never really felt the need to check the place out since sweets aren’t his thing. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He kept hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot; and decided to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say. Her treats do in fact live up to all the praise and Phel got surprised by how friendly yet unobtrusive Bunny is. He tries to pass by Sugarbun’s once in a while for a good cup of coffee and some friendly chatter if Bunny is up for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Fovelly]] ─ protective of, concerned about, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An outgoing orphan from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and Fovelly decides that he’s the perfect living jungle gym to play with. Due to her general clumsy and airheaded nature she often stumbles around and gets scrapes and bruises, Phel is terribly concerned she’s going to hurt herself badly someday so he will quietly hover around her and catch her with his tail when possible. He found himself growing attached to this little spider and now looks forward to whenever she asks him to play with her. Phel finds himself being slightly curious over her since he hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Pollux and Castor]] ─ protective of, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two mischievous twin orphans from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and he finds himself being prime victim to their shenanigans since he always has shiny silver accessories on himself. While they are a handful, and dragons above do they &#039;&#039;love&#039;&#039; trouble, he found himself getting attached to the kids. He doesn’t mind their antics as much and has occasionally been tasked with rounding up the fledglings after they run off to find more unsuspecting victims. He just wishes they would stop pouncing on his tail unannounced…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Manako Mitsu]] ─ coworker, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small and quiet apothecary who works in the same Division as him. Despite her meek personality, he can see her passion for her field on the few times she lost herself while speaking about her interests and how her posture changes when working. Is particularly interested in learning about what kind of alcohol she ferments after hearing about it offhandedly, now if only he could muster the courage to ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lianne Fennick]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flirtatious owner of the Morning Roost. Phel certainly caught her attention the first time he stepped foot into her establishment, so of course she tried her charms on him just for them to completely fail. Dense as he is, Phel didn’t notice her intentions at all until somebody else pointed them out to him, he then promptly refused her advances. But it seems like the woman hasn’t given up yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He thinks she&#039;s very pretty but smells horrible because of the cigarettes she smokes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Leo Eridanus]] ─ capable fighter, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An idealistic adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. Phel can see Leo deeply cares about everyone around them, however he worries the general will end up burning themselves out in their efforts to help as many people as they can. Phel knows the feeling of guilt that comes from not constantly being there to help everyone, but he also knows it’s simply impossible to do so and letting the feeling consume him will not help. He wishes he could make Leo understand that but has been unsuccessful thus far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ─ capable fighter, pushes his buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fiery adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. At first glance Astrophel was convinced she would just be your typical privileged rich kid type, a fancy looking woman from a noble house that talks the talk but runs with her tail between her legs when things get tough. Well… her sharp tongue and crude approach made him quickly realize how she’s very much not like that. Bellona has a particularly keen ability to push his buttons and comments about his bedside manners bring out his old quick temper back to the surface, but she is a experienced fighter and highly dependable on the field so really he can’t complain much. But, dragons above, does she get on his nerves sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ─ privileged prick ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silver-tongued treasurer working in the Trade Division. Two-faced, driven by selfishness and coming from a privileged upbringing, Ari is everything Astrophel despises in a person. He could see through his charismatic and good looking persona from the get-go and quickly decided he’s not someone he wishes to have around himself, despite Ari’s best attempts. They still cross paths from time to time and, while Phel tries to keep a modicum of professionality, Ari seems to know exactly how to push his buttons in the worst ways possible with the least amount of words, there might have been times people had to pry the off of each other before they escalated into physical fights. Despite his obvious dislike, Ari seems to randomly seek him out. What for? Who knows. If Phel had to guess, just to piss him off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m holding him up by the scruff of his neck. PLEASE throw people at him, he needs the social interaction (even if he&#039;s grumpy about it).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Natasha Argentum &amp;amp; Sigvard Argentum]] ─ parents ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An intelligent woman and a gruff man who adopted Astrophel. While the circumstances of their first meeting weren’t ideal and their relationship was incredibly rocky at first the Argentums never gave up on him, slowly but surely they became people who let Phel feel safe and loved for the first time in his life.

He holds his parents in the highest regards, Phel loves both of them very dearly and is thankful everyday they are the ones who found him and gave him a home to belong to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He’s deeply proud to call himself their son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ─ daughter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brave scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was a member of the squadron assigned to contain the law corruption that overtook Jaina’s home, where he found her devastated mourning her recently deceased parents. Despite being bad at it, Astrophel tried his best to offer her a modicum of comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Thankfully she wasn’t badly affected by the corruption and made a full recovery, yet, she surprisingly decided to keep in contact with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship. When she told him about her decision to join the Outerworld Division he was terribly against it, citing how she shouldn’t be responsible for carrying the burden of her parents&#039; research. Of course, she didn’t falter when faced with his disapproval so he, begrudgingly, conceded as long as she takes care of herself and doesn’t do anything reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel feels very proud of her; despite living through such a terrible event she remains a kind and compassionate person. A strong young woman with a bright future ahead of her, she’s &#039;&#039;his daughter&#039;&#039; in every way except in legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nine]] ─ partner, a bit intimidating===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A aloof housekeeper who works in the same Division as him. They meet when Astrophel is asked by Freyja to take over a checkup with Nine while she was away. Nine, of course, didn’t show up and Phel had to basically corner the other man in his “office”.  Their relationship started… &#039;&#039;difficult&#039;&#039;, to say the least. Maybe Nine pointed a knife at him and Phel was ready to kill him by their third meeting. But they were able to mend things with the help of Jaina, who has decided that both of them are her parental figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passes, they start seeing each other more frequently – paths crossing in corridors, popping by one another’s office, tiny check ups on the other’s well being –  slowly but surely grow close.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe &#039;&#039;closer&#039;&#039; than they thought. After Phel invites him to go stargazing together – totally &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; a date – Nine comes to realize he genuinely cares about the kindred. And once he invites Phel out for coffee at the [[Morning Roost]] – &#039;&#039;totally&#039;&#039; a date – the jealousy he feels seeing the owner Lianne showing interest in the other man pushes Nine to be honest about his feelings. While caught off guard; this man is way too dense; Phel reciprocates and they start dating. However their relationship will develop is anyone’s guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He still thinks Nine is very &#039;&#039;weird&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Maya Nephim]] ─ beloved friend, greatly respects, grieves ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bright doctor who worked in the same Division as him. Maya was one of the first to reach out and befriend him when he joined the Contingency Division. Slowly and insistently dragging him out of his shell, she took his blunt and taciturn nature in stride and never made him feel like he had to water himself down to be deserving of company. They grew to be quite friendly and caring, often trusting each other’s expertise and checking on each other’s wellbeing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite her young age she was incredibly skilled in her field, in many ways Phel saw her as the kind of doctor he aspired to be; kind, caring and dedicated. She could have had a bright future ahead of her if fate hadn’t decided to cut her life short. Astrophel was the first person to realize she was sick, once he did he furiously searched for the cause of what was ailing her and how to cure it. All to no avail. Her condition quickly declined and one day she was simply gone. Maya was gone. Overcome with grief after her passing, Phel takes a long leave from work to go back home and recover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He secretly feels a heavy sense of uselessness over Maya’s passing and considers it one the biggest mistakes of his career as a doctor, however he tries not to dwell on such feelings, she wouldn’t have liked that after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than visiting her grave on the day she passed away, Astrophel visits it on her birthday and leaves her a bouquet of lilies, preferring to remember her for who she was when she was alive rather than the illness that took her. A single white lily can be found pressed on one of the books in his rooms, a memento from Maya. The fragrance bothers him, he hopes it continues that way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ruairi Cromwell]] ─ great friend, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skilled adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. Their paths crossed after Ruairi got scrapped during the fight with [[Loco Motion]]. While Phel thought their relationship would stay simply professional, Ruairi’s charismatic personality  has slowly chipped away at the doctor’s icy exterior. Surprisingly they have a lot more in common than Astrophel thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His fighting prowess and calm demeanor make him a good companion when they happen to work on the same team; Ruairi makes up for what Phel lacks in speed and offensive power. Together on the field they work seamlessly and Phel completely trusts the other kindred to have his back.&lt;br /&gt;
Funny enough, even their aspects seem to compliment each other. Both of them have unusual body temperatures due to their aspect, Ruairi can rarely lose control of his aspect and start setting things on fire while Phel can overuse his and start freezing his hands. They’ve found ways to help each other regulate their aspect when such things happen, it’s not unusual to see the doctor putting his hands on the other man when he’s within distance just so he can steal some of Ruairi’s warmth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite their friendliness they do butt heads sometimes, something Phel is glad Ruairi isn’t afraid to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nyx Roseblood]] ─ capable fighter, surprisingly fun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A boisterous adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, they meet after Nyx broke her arm in a wrestling match against Selena. Despite her… unique personality and overall rowdiness Astrophel finds her surprisingly endearing and fun to have around. She often comes by the medical wing to get her injuries treated and talk his ear off about her, often embellished, recountings of her latest mission accomplishment. Although she exaggerates it, she is in fact a formidable fighter and Phel greatly respects her strength, if assigned on a mission together he knows she’ll hold her own just fine. He finds himself missing her company and worrying about her safety when she’s gone. Nobody has to know how much she reminds him of the cute fluffy sheep back at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Freyja Lest]] ─ coworker, greatly respects ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skillful botanical doctor who works in the same Division as him. Due to her seniority and approachable personality, he feels comfortable consulting her when it comes to medicinal herbs. Astrophel greatly respects her passion and dedication to her work, her single minded focus on whatever she’s researching is impressive, but he wishes she would not skip meals and take a few breaks in between. While he will never admit it, he feels a bit of kinship towards her since both are snow leopard kindred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Senti Ballahast]] ─ coworker, protective of, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shy medical student who works in the same Division as him. While his nervous nature made Astrophel concerned if he was really fit to be a healer, Senti has more than proved himself by sheer determination and hardwork. Phel has found himself being sort of protective over the youngest member of the Division, giving him pointers in whatever areas he can and (secretly) offering to be paired up with him when sent out to the field to give him more experience. While Senti still has a long way to go, Phel can confidently say he’ll make an exceptional doctor in the future. While he will never admit it he finds himself being curious over him since Phel hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Odin Finch]] ─ greatly respects, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seasoned squadron captain working in the Outerworld Division and co-founder of the Valhalla Project. Astrophel had heard a lot about the renowned and fearsome captain and her great feats on the field but he was particularly surprised when they worked together for the first time, her carefree and friendly personality weren’t what he was expecting at all. By watching how she is towards others he quickly grows to greatly respect her and he finds that her reputation does precede her, she truly is a competent fighter and leader, he trusts her judgement and knows she’ll have his back. Once he learns about her background he develops a quiet kinship towards her - she &#039;&#039;understands&#039;&#039; what is like to live off of scraps, to not have a roof over your head and the constant uncertainty of it all. The moment he hears about her efforts in the Valhalla Project his respect towards her skyrockets and he quickly offers to help wherever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Korin Altair]] ─ dependable, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reserved co-founder of the Valhalla Project. They only meet after Astrophel has been contributing in the orphanage for a while and he had no idea what to make of him at first, his serious demeanor and overall quietness made it seem like he had no interest in idle chit chat so Phel just let him be. He does come to realize how caring he is towards the orphans and his deep dedication to the project. While they don’t cross paths super often, they have developed a slight camaraderie and can be found riling each other up with sarcastic quips over a good meal and drink when they happen to meet. Phel feels a sense of quiet kinship towards him just like he does to Odin. However… in rare moments he feels a small sense of unease around him, and he cannot put his finger on &#039;&#039;why&#039;&#039;…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ─ concerned about, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A placid researcher working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet due to Hanzekihels’ poor health and Faltered condition often landing him on the medical wing. His uninterested approach made him seem rather cold at first but Astrophel finds that they are both just people who don’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter. Slowly, they bonded over quiet companionship, interest in constellations and complete opposite tastes in food. While Hanze is an intelligent man this intelligence seems to vanish when it comes to taking care of himself, often skipping meals and pulling all nighters, which lead to Phel taking it onto himself to try to get him to eat proper meals and go to bed at reasonable times if he hears about it. If you see Astrophel carrying him over his shoulder please don’t worry about it, trust me it’s for his own good. Doctors orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Monica Holst]] ─ concerned about, protective of, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An energetic scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was assigned to go into the same Bubble as Monica when her squadron was attacked, he was on the next squadron supposed to take the shift after hers. When her squadron was late for the shift change they were all concerned, when she stumbled out of the bubble - alone, completely alone - Phel was one of the first people to get to her. This event took a terrible toll on her, he was convinced she wasn’t gonna make it at some points and yet she made it - not without sequels. He finds himself paying them visits and checking up on them when he can, he develops a protective feeling towards them - and maybe, just maybe, he feels a little guilty he couldn’t come to their aid sooner. Since they share an interest in plushies, Phel keeps an eye out for any cute ones to give to her when they meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lyna Solai]] ─ friendly, dependable, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An upbeat environmental surveyor working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet because of their mutual relationship with Freyja, while he expected them to stay as just acquaintances Lynas’ general charismatic personality slowly wormed her way into a more friendly connection. Astrophel finds her genuine curiosity and eagerness to understand everything around her refreshing. Lynas’ draconic origins shocked him, not only because duh, &#039;&#039;she’s a dragon&#039;&#039;, but also because she looks so &#039;&#039;adorable&#039;&#039; when in her dragon form. He will never utter a word about it, but she reminds him a lot of his beloved plushies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bunny Burrows]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A kind and charismatic patisserie owner of the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie. While Astrophel had heard about the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie before - hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got severe actual sugary ambrosia - he never really felt the need to check the place out since sweets aren’t his thing. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He kept hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot; and decided to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say. Her treats do in fact live up to all the praise and Phel got surprised by how friendly yet unobtrusive Bunny is. He tries to pass by Sugarbun’s once in a while for a good cup of coffee and some friendly chatter if Bunny is up for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Fovelly]] ─ protective of, concerned about, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An outgoing orphan from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and Fovelly decides that he’s the perfect living jungle gym to play with. Due to her general clumsy and airheaded nature she often stumbles around and gets scrapes and bruises, Phel is terribly concerned she’s going to hurt herself badly someday so he will quietly hover around her and catch her with his tail when possible. He found himself growing attached to this little spider and now looks forward to whenever she asks him to play with her. Phel finds himself being slightly curious over her since he hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Pollux and Castor]] ─ protective of, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two mischievous twin orphans from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and he finds himself being prime victim to their shenanigans since he always has shiny silver accessories on himself. While they are a handful, and dragons above do they &#039;&#039;love&#039;&#039; trouble, he found himself getting attached to the kids. He doesn’t mind their antics as much and has occasionally been tasked with rounding up the fledglings after they run off to find more unsuspecting victims. He just wishes they would stop pouncing on his tail unannounced…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Manako Mitsu]] ─ coworker, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small and quiet apothecary who works in the same Division as him. Despite her meek personality, he can see her passion for her field on the few times she lost herself while speaking about her interests and how her posture changes when working. Is particularly interested in learning about what kind of alcohol she ferments after hearing about it offhandedly, now if only he could muster the courage to ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lianne Fennick]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flirtatious owner of the Morning Roost. Phel certainly caught her attention the first time he stepped foot into her establishment, so of course she tried her charms on him just for them to completely fail. Dense as he is, Phel didn’t notice her intentions at all until somebody else pointed them out to him, he then promptly refused her advances. But it seems like the woman hasn’t given up yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He thinks she&#039;s very pretty but smells horrible because of the cigarettes she smokes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Leo Eridanus]] ─ capable fighter, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An idealistic adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. Phel can see Leo deeply cares about everyone around them, however he worries the general will end up burning themselves out in their efforts to help as many people as they can. Phel knows the feeling of guilt that comes from not constantly being there to help everyone, but he also knows it’s simply impossible to do so and letting the feeling consume him will not help. He wishes he could make Leo understand that but has been unsuccessful thus far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ─ capable fighter, pushes his buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fiery adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. At first glance Astrophel was convinced she would just be your typical privileged rich kid type, a fancy looking woman from a noble house that talks the talk but runs with her tail between her legs when things get tough. Well… her sharp tongue and crude approach made him quickly realize how she’s very much not like that. Bellona has a particularly keen ability to push his buttons and comments about his bedside manners bring out his old quick temper back to the surface, but she is a experienced fighter and highly dependable on the field so really he can’t complain much. But, dragons above, does she get on his nerves sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ─ privileged prick ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silver-tongued treasurer working in the Trade Division. Two-faced, driven by selfishness and coming from a privileged upbringing, Ari is everything Astrophel despises in a person. He could see through his charismatic and good looking persona from the get-go and quickly decided he’s not someone he wishes to have around himself, despite Ari’s best attempts. They still cross paths from time to time and, while Phel tries to keep a modicum of professionality, Ari seems to know exactly how to push his buttons in the worst ways possible with the least amount of words, there might have been times people had to pry the off of each other before they escalated into physical fights. Despite his obvious dislike, Ari seems to randomly seek him out. What for? Who knows. If Phel had to guess, just to piss him off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Caffeekat: Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who? Who let the dogs out?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; are big canine creatures known for their keen sense of smell. While originally wild creatures, they’ve gone through a long process of domestication that eventually led the species to branch out into &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; (wild) and &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; (domesticated).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origins ==&lt;br /&gt;
Records show that the existence of a even more ancient version of &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; dating back to thousands of years, mainly appearing in heavily wooded areas in places like [[Dizajni]]. Their strength and keen sense of smell were greatly valued and led them to be domesticated throughout the years. Currently, &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; still call forests their home but &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; have been integrated into society as a companion and pet to many.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biology ==&lt;br /&gt;
Caudam are big quadruped mammals very similar to a lot of canines. They are covered in fur specially around the neck area, giving them a mane similar to lions. Their anatomy is particularly front heavy, with thick necks, very big front legs and paws, which makes them very good diggers. Caudam skulls are also uniquely tough, with prominent bottom fangs that almost look like tusks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Wild and Domesticated ====&lt;br /&gt;
While still very similar, &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; have lost some traits from their descendants&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; during the domestication process as those traits were considered too bothersome to keep. Some of those traits are:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most obvious difference is their size, &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; are much bigger creatures than &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039;, nearly twice their size in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; have a very long &#039;&#039;&#039;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensile_tail prehensile tail]&#039;&#039;&#039; while &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the name suggests, have a much shorter tail and have lost its dexterity.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; can have multiple sets of horns in all kinds of shapes and sizes, &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; don’t grow them at all. Very few rare cases of &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; growing horns have been recorded, and they don’t get past being very tiny horns.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; grow much less and shorter fur than their wild counterparts, as the time and effort to upkeep such was simply too much, owners will also cut their fur frequently to prevent it from getting matted.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; have longer bottom fangs that curl while &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; have shorter and straighter fangs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Abilities ====&lt;br /&gt;
Caudam have [[Arcane Energy#Aether Gland|aether glands]] adjacent to their brain and all of them are earth aspected. Their magic manifests on their claws; specifically on the front ones; reinforcing them when they want to dig things out of the ground or if they need to attack something. &#039;&#039;&#039;Grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; aspect also manifests on their horns. Caudam breeders have been researching ways to change their aspect but have been unsuccessful in achieving any results thus far.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Size and Measurement ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; pup measures around 2’7” / 80cm in height and Xlb / Xkg in weight.&lt;br /&gt;
* An adult &#039;&#039;&#039;brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; can reach around 7’5” / 226cm in height and Xlb / Xkg in weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; pup is around 5’2” / 160cm in height and Xlb / Xkg in weight.&lt;br /&gt;
* An adult &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; can reach around 15” / 457cm in height and Xlb / Xkg in weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that these measurements are rough estimates. In the case of &#039;&#039;&#039;grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; the added height and weight of the horns aren’t being counted as those vary a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Colors and Markings ==&lt;br /&gt;
Caudam fur colors are mostly earthy or neutral tones to help them better camouflage with the environment around them and the patterns are diverse. Occasionally more colorful or lighter pelt colors have been observed to appear. &#039;&#039;&#039;Brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; breeders have been trying to achieve even more unique pelt colors and patterns to varied results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Easily the most eyecatching part of their appearance is their claws, these are made out of mineral, crystal and rocks (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary). &#039;&#039;&#039;Grand caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; horns are also made out of the same material as their claws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== As a Companion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; aren’t really animals fit to be everyday pets like cats or dogs, they are very big creatures that need a lot of space to move around, a lot of food, a lot of training and a lot of upkeep in general. While they are a big investment of not only resources and time but also dedication, caudam are animals that’ll be incredibly loyal and obedient for the rest of their lives if trained right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While they can be used as a mount, they aren’t as reliable as avistuses. &#039;&#039;&#039;Brevis caudam&#039;&#039;&#039; can handle carrying people but their running style makes it a very bumpy ride. It’s recommended that, if one does need to use caudam to travel, that they don’t bring much with them or anything delicate, as the items are likely to be lost or simply break during the trip. Hunters or adventurers who don’t travel long distances seem to be the only ones interested in using them as mounts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== As a Helper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Caudam are inspired by &#039;&#039;&#039;[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Behemoth behemoths]&#039;&#039;&#039; from the Final Fantasy franchise, &#039;&#039;&#039;[https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Naga Naga]&#039;&#039;&#039; from the Legend of Korra, binturongs and caucasian mountain shepherd dogs.&lt;br /&gt;
* People use the phrase &#039;&#039;“You’re about as useful as a caudam who can&#039;t smell”&#039;&#039; as a insult, since many consider caudam who can’t smell useless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grand caudam have been observed to wrap their tails around things like trees and boulders then carrying them around. Sometimes they throw such things with impressive strength when in fits of rage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Poachers try to hunt grand caudam whose claws and horns are made out of precious materials. A terrible idea really, as the danger and effort to put a single one of those creatures down is hardly worth it. That is, if they can even kill such a creature.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Overview|1 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum|2 Link Name=Relationships|2 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Relationships|3 Link Name=Gallery|3 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Gallery|4 Link Name=Events|4 Link Target=Astrophel Argentum/Events}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m holding him up by the scruff of his neck. PLEASE throw people at him, he needs the social interaction (even if he&#039;s grumpy about it).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ─ daughter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brave scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was a member of the squadron assigned to contain the law corruption that overtook Jaina’s home, where he found her devastated mourning her recently deceased parents. Despite being bad at it, Astrophel tried his best to offer her a modicum of comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Thankfully she wasn’t badly affected by the corruption and made a full recovery, yet, she surprisingly decided to keep in contact with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship. When she told him about her decision to join the Outerworld Division he was terribly against it, citing how she shouldn’t be responsible for carrying the burden of her parents&#039; research. Of course, she didn’t falter when faced with his disapproval so he, begrudgingly, conceded as long as she takes care of herself and doesn’t do anything reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel feels very proud of her; despite living through such a terrible event she remains a kind and compassionate person. A strong young woman with a bright future ahead of her, she’s &#039;&#039;his daughter&#039;&#039; in every way except in legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nine]] ─ coworker, respects, a bit intimidating, friend ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A aloof housekeeper who works in the same Division as him. They meet when Astrophel is asked by Freyja to take over a checkup with Nine while she was away. Nine, of course, didn’t show up and Phel had to basically corner the other man in his “office”.  Their relationship started… &#039;&#039;difficult&#039;&#039;, to say the least. Maybe Nine pointed a knife at him and Phel was ready to kill him by their third meeting. But they were able to mend things with the help of Jaina, who has decided that both of them are her parental figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel feels a strong relatability toward Nine and wishes he could connect more with him but he doesn’t quite know &#039;&#039;how&#039;&#039; to reach him. Yet. He thinks Nine is very &#039;&#039;weird&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Maya Nephim]] ─ beloved friend, greatly respects, grieves ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bright doctor who worked in the same Division as him. Maya was one of the first to reach out and befriend him when he joined the Contingency Division. Slowly and insistently dragging him out of his shell, she took his blunt and taciturn nature in stride and never made him feel like he had to water himself down to be deserving of company. They grew to be quite friendly and caring, often trusting each other’s expertise and checking on each other’s wellbeing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite her young age she was incredibly skilled in her field, in many ways Phel saw her as the kind of doctor he aspired to be; kind, caring and dedicated. She could have had a bright future ahead of her if fate hadn’t decided to cut her life short. Astrophel was the first person to realize she was sick, once he did he furiously searched for the cause of what was ailing her and how to cure it. All to no avail. Her condition quickly declined and one day she was simply gone. Maya was gone. Overcome with grief after her passing, Phel takes a long leave from work to go back home and recover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He secretly feels a heavy sense of uselessness over Maya’s passing and considers it one the biggest mistakes of his career as a doctor, however he tries not to dwell on such feelings, she wouldn’t have liked that after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than visiting her grave on the day she passed away, Astrophel visits it on her birthday and leaves her a bouquet of lilies, preferring to remember her for who she was when she was alive rather than the illness that took her. A single white lily can be found pressed on one of the books in his rooms, a memento from Maya. The fragrance bothers him, he hopes it continues that way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nyx Roseblood]] ─ capable fighter, surprisingly fun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A boisterous adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, they meet after Nyx broke her arm in a wrestling match against Selena. Despite her… unique personality and overall rowdiness Astrophel finds her surprisingly endearing and fun to have around. She often comes by the medical wing to get her injuries treated and talk his ear off about her, often embellished, recountings of her latest mission accomplishment. Although she exaggerates it, she is in fact a formidable fighter and Phel greatly respects her strength, if assigned on a mission together he knows she’ll hold her own just fine. He finds himself missing her company and worrying about her safety when she’s gone. Nobody has to know how much she reminds him of the cute fluffy sheep back at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Freyja Lest]] ─ coworker, greatly respects ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skillful botanical doctor who works in the same Division as him. Due to her seniority and approachable personality, he feels comfortable consulting her when it comes to medicinal herbs. Astrophel greatly respects her passion and dedication to her work, her single minded focus on whatever she’s researching is impressive, but he wishes she would not skip meals and take a few breaks in between. While he will never admit it, he feels a bit of kinship towards her since both are snow leopard kindred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Senti Ballahast]] ─ coworker, protective of, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shy medical student who works in the same Division as him. While his nervous nature made Astrophel concerned if he was really fit to be a healer, Senti has more than proved himself by sheer determination and hardwork. Phel has found himself being sort of protective over the youngest member of the Division, giving him pointers in whatever areas he can and (secretly) offering to be paired up with him when sent out to the field to give him more experience. While Senti still has a long way to go, Phel can confidently say he’ll make an exceptional doctor in the future. While he will never admit it he finds himself being curious over him since Phel hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Odin Finch]] ─ greatly respects, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seasoned squadron captain working in the Outerworld Division and co-founder of the Valhalla Project. Astrophel had heard a lot about the renowned and fearsome captain and her great feats on the field but he was particularly surprised when they worked together for the first time, her carefree and friendly personality weren’t what he was expecting at all. By watching how she is towards others he quickly grows to greatly respect her and he finds that her reputation does precede her, she truly is a competent fighter and leader, he trusts her judgement and knows she’ll have his back. Once he learns about her background he develops a quiet kinship towards her - she &#039;&#039;understands&#039;&#039; what is like to live off of scraps, to not have a roof over your head and the constant uncertainty of it all. The moment he hears about her efforts in the Valhalla Project his respect towards her skyrockets and he quickly offers to help wherever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Korin Altair]] ─ dependable, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reserved co-founder of the Valhalla Project. They only meet after Astrophel has been contributing in the orphanage for a while and he had no idea what to make of him at first, his serious demeanor and overall quietness made it seem like he had no interest in idle chit chat so Phel just let him be. He does come to realize how caring he is towards the orphans and his deep dedication to the project. While they don’t cross paths super often, they have developed a slight camaraderie and can be found riling each other up with sarcastic quips over a good meal and drink when they happen to meet. Phel feels a sense of quiet kinship towards him just like he does to Odin. However… in rare moments he feels a small sense of unease around him, and he cannot put his finger on &#039;&#039;why&#039;&#039;…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ruairi Cromwell]] ─ capable fighter, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skilled adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, their paths crossed after Ruairi got scrapped during the fight with Loco Motion. His fighting prowess and calm demeanor make him a good companion when they happen to work on missions together, and his charismatic personality has slowly chipped away at Phel’s icy exterior. He knows he can count on him on the field. Maybe they have more in common than Astrophel thinks…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ─ concerned about, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A placid researcher working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet due to Hanzekihels’ poor health and Faltered condition often landing him on the medical wing. His uninterested approach made him seem rather cold at first but Astrophel finds that they are both just people who don’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter. Slowly, they bonded over quiet companionship, interest in constellations and complete opposite tastes in food. While Hanze is an intelligent man this intelligence seems to vanish when it comes to taking care of himself, often skipping meals and pulling all nighters, which lead to Phel taking it onto himself to try to get him to eat proper meals and go to bed at reasonable times if he hears about it. If you see Astrophel carrying him over his shoulder please don’t worry about it, trust me it’s for his own good. Doctors orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Monica Holst]] ─ concerned about, protective of, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An energetic scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was assigned to go into the same Bubble as Monica when her squadron was attacked, he was on the next squadron supposed to take the shift after hers. When her squadron was late for the shift change they were all concerned, when she stumbled out of the bubble - alone, completely alone - Phel was one of the first people to get to her. This event took a terrible toll on her, he was convinced she wasn’t gonna make it at some points and yet she made it - not without sequels. He finds himself paying them visits and checking up on them when he can, he develops a protective feeling towards them - and maybe, just maybe, he feels a little guilty he couldn’t come to their aid sooner. Since they share an interest in plushies, Phel keeps an eye out for any cute ones to give to her when they meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lyna Solai]] ─ friendly, dependable, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An upbeat environmental surveyor working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet because of their mutual relationship with Freyja, while he expected them to stay as just acquaintances Lynas’ general charismatic personality slowly wormed her way into a more friendly connection. Astrophel finds her genuine curiosity and eagerness to understand everything around her refreshing. Lynas’ draconic origins shocked him, not only because duh, &#039;&#039;she’s a dragon&#039;&#039;, but also because she looks so &#039;&#039;adorable&#039;&#039; when in her dragon form. He will never utter a word about it, but she reminds him a lot of his beloved plushies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bunny Burrows]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A kind and charismatic patisserie owner of the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie. While Astrophel had heard about the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie before - hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got severe actual sugary ambrosia - he never really felt the need to check the place out since sweets aren’t his thing. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He kept hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot; and decided to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say. Her treats do in fact live up to all the praise and Phel got surprised by how friendly yet unobtrusive Bunny is. He tries to pass by Sugarbun’s once in a while for a good cup of coffee and some friendly chatter if Bunny is up for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Fovelly]] ─ protective of, concerned about, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An outgoing orphan from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and Fovelly decides that he’s the perfect living jungle gym to play with. Due to her general clumsy and airheaded nature she often stumbles around and gets scrapes and bruises, Phel is terribly concerned she’s going to hurt herself badly someday so he will quietly hover around her and catch her with his tail when possible. He found himself growing attached to this little spider and now looks forward to whenever she asks him to play with her. Phel finds himself being slightly curious over her since he hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Pollux and Castor]] ─ protective of, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two mischievous twin orphans from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and he finds himself being prime victim to their shenanigans since he always has shiny silver accessories on himself. While they are a handful, and dragons above do they &#039;&#039;love&#039;&#039; trouble, he found himself getting attached to the kids. He doesn’t mind their antics as much and has occasionally been tasked with rounding up the fledglings after they run off to find more unsuspecting victims. He just wishes they would stop pouncing on his tail unannounced…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Manako Mitsu]] ─ coworker, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small and quiet apothecary who works in the same Division as him. Despite her meek personality, he can see her passion for her field on the few times she lost herself while speaking about her interests and how her posture changes when working. Is particularly interested in learning about what kind of alcohol she ferments after hearing about it offhandedly, now if only he could muster the courage to ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ─ capable fighter, pushes his buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fiery adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. At first glance Astrophel was convinced she would just be your typical privileged rich kid type, a fancy looking woman from a noble house that talks the talk but runs with her tail between her legs when things get tough. Well… her sharp tongue and crude approach made him quickly realize how she’s very much not like that. Bellona has a particularly keen ability to push his buttons and comments about his bedside manners bring out his old quick temper back to the surface, but she is a experienced fighter and highly dependable on the field so really he can’t complain much. But, dragons above, does she get on his nerves sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ─ privileged prick ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silver-tongued treasurer working in the Trade Division. Two-faced, driven by selfishness and coming from a privileged upbringing, Ari is everything Astrophel despises in a person. He could see through his charismatic and good looking persona from the get-go and quickly decided he’s not someone he wishes to have around himself, despite Ari’s best attempts. They still cross paths from time to time and, while Phel tries to keep a modicum of professionality, Ari seems to know exactly how to push his buttons in the worst ways possible with the least amount of words, there might have been times people had to pry the off of each other before they escalated into physical fights. Despite his obvious dislike, Ari seems to randomly seek him out. What for? Who knows. If Phel had to guess, just to piss him off.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Astrophel Argentum&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Races#Kindred|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Lesser Kindred&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] originally from [[Tírr]] who works as an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Contingency Division&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;]]. A reliable man with a reserved nature, often told &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;he doesn&#039;t look like a doctor&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; due to his intimidating personality and looks. Much to his chagrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is a pretty intimidating figure, standing at 6&#039;11&amp;quot; with broad shoulders and muscular build, not helped by the perpetual furrow to his brow, a scowl that always shows his lower fangs due to underbite and sharp eyes with heterochromia, right eye is hazel and left is green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His dark skin is littered with scars big and small, both from his childhood and his time on the field. Tiny moles can be found in various places. Has long white hair with black tips that reaches around his ribs. As a snow leopard Kindred, Phel has some animal traits such as round fluffy ears, a particularly long fluffy tail, sharp claws and facial markings around his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If not wearing his work clothes you&#039;ll mostly see him wearing clothes appropriated for cold weather, things like sweaters, button up shirts, jackets, boots and furs in some way. Generally in neutral tones with few splashes of color. While not really vain, Astrophel takes care of his appearance, especially his hair and fur. Often changes hairstyles but always has braids in some way. Likes to use silver jewelry, has many piercings on his ears and a nose bridge one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is often regarded as unapproachable and intimidating due to his normally taciturn nature, he doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter and generally keeps his thoughts to himself. On top of that, his frank approach and crass manner of speaking often make him seem more aggressive than he actually is.  He&#039;s just very undersocialized, which makes him awkward and often unaware of social cues. Secretly, a bit lonely too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to his particularly rough childhood living on the streets he has grown slightly wary of others at first, he often puts his walls up expecting people to have negative intentions towards him and slowly puts them down with time. His background has also made very resilient and self-sufficient; he’s not incapable of asking for help but he does try to refrain from doing so. While he hasn’t  noticed yet, he’s very nurturing of other people and discreetly encourages anyone he sees potential in, wishing to give them the same chance of having someone to support them like his parents once gave him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under his parents&#039; care he has grown to be a very hardworking and humble man who doesn’t take things for granted and respects even the most menial of works. This eventually leads him to be regarded as a particularly reliable person who fulfills whatever task is handed to him. To those close to him he is a fiercely loyal and protective companion, who shows his care through quiet action, unabashedly affectionate too. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When younger he used to have a quick temper and would quickly result to violence at the slightest provocation, he has since curbed this and is much more level-headed. But old habits die hard and he might still snap if pushed to his limits or if provoked just right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Likes:&#039;&#039;&#039; plushies, stargazing, warmth (he is a cat), napping, hearty &amp;amp; spicy food, comfy things, coffee, silver jewelry, being useful, hairstyling, mead, his family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Disikes:&#039;&#039;&#039; sudden or constant loud noises (sensitive ears), toothrotting sweet food, pungent scents &amp;amp; smoke (sensitive nose), liars, privileged people, authority figures who abuse their power, povetry, big &amp;amp; deep bodies of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of tutelage under his parents and studying medicine in the Education Division, Astrophel has become a phenomenal doctor whose expertise is greatly valued. His skills particularly shine when sent out on missions. While Phel might be a doctor he is not afraid of combat, he has enough grasp on how to fight and can easily be left to fend for himself on the field which makes him a valuable member to have on particularly difficult missions or emergencies. If worse comes to worst, Phel will defend his patients and teammates with fierce devotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Heart ===&lt;br /&gt;
Phel’s ice aspect, for some reason, makes his body temperature very cold. It has no impact on his health or anything just makes him a walking ice cube. For the longest time he wasn’t aware this was a thing and thought he was just particularly sensitive to the cold weather of Tírr, since leaving for Eversun he discovered that isn’t the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Frigid Touch ===&lt;br /&gt;
The main way he uses his aspect, to heal. Upon touching his patients wounds a layer of frost will cover the area to heal them, depending on how deep or serious the wounds are this layer of frost will vary in thickness. While greatly effective it is somewhat unpleasant; described as &#039;&#039;“akin to standing in snow for too long”&#039;&#039;; he tries not to overly rely on it for the sake of his patient’s comfort, they are always left with a slight chill afterwards. Also used to detect injuries on others by touching them with his hands and sending “waves” of coldness to find where it hurts. His hands also get colder after use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used not to have as much control over it when he was young and could easily cause frostbite. Has done so to himself by accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Boreal Barrier ===&lt;br /&gt;
If not able to put himself between danger and whoever he’s trying to protect in time Astrophel can use his aspect to create a shield in front of someone. It isn’t as strong as his shield but it works in a pinch until he can reach the other person. As the name suggests it looks a bit aurora borealis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Claw ===&lt;br /&gt;
As a last resort, if Astrophel doesn’t have backup, his shield or can’t fight whatever is attacking him with his fists, he can create small daggers made of ice. They are very primitive in shape, looking more like icicles. This is a technique he made as a child and never refined so he’s likely to overexert himself and, often, hurts his hands. Only one can exist at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Valuables ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Icebreaker&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel&#039;s weapon of choice, a shield. It&#039;s a custom piece made of moonlight silver gifted to him by his parents when he finished his studies, very big and heavy with ice, stars and moon motifs. It’s a constant reminder to what he achieves to be – a shield ready to protect and help those in need. It&#039;s around 4&#039;2&amp;quot; in height (idk about weight man). Yes, he also bashes people with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thermal Pouch ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since healing leaves his patients cold, Phel carries around this pouch with warm drinks and simple snacks to give them just a little bit of comfort and replenish their strength. It&#039;s either filled with coffee, tea or different types of soup. Also has some simple medical supplies tucked in there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Marshmallow&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
A unicorn plushie gifted to him by his parents; his first real gift, his first real possession; and the first plushie of his collection. The thing is big and surprisingly soft despite its years. It has a place of honor on his bed and brings him great comfort, especially when he misses his parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice claim&#039;&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3WyROW5FOk&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Kamran Nikhad as Wilberry Cookie&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; (thank you GumdropChaos for the suggestion ♡).&lt;br /&gt;
* His playlist can be found &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/76sDX0wzTmTO2l4CBBRDFz?si=dLnXo3ueQm-Qw9dm6zQi0g &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Phel is ambidextrous.&lt;br /&gt;
*He&#039;s pan/demiromantic and &#039;&#039;terribly&#039;&#039; dense.&lt;br /&gt;
*Not a morning person. Has to have around 3 mugs of coffee before he&#039;s fully awake.&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a big spicy food tolerance.&lt;br /&gt;
* Takes good care of his hair and fur, tail is the softest thing ever and often changes his hair into complex styles. Likes styling other people&#039;s hair.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has a plushie collection. First one was a big unicorn plushie given to him by his parents. (thank you assbread for the suggestion ♡).&lt;br /&gt;
* While his expression generally remains the same, the tail is &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; expressive. Seems like it has a mind of his own sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Can get very protective of his patients, if he thinks you’re enough of a threat he will start yowling and baring his teeth. Friend or foe.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravitates towards warmth when sleeping, will snuggle anyone close enough. Holds his tail in his sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has no mirrors in his dorm or office, doesn&#039;t look at them when he&#039;s by himself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Is secretly slightly self conscious about his handwriting. He feels it’s very blocky and ugly, but it’s readable so he shouldn’t care.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hates being called “kitty/kitten” with a passion. Don&#039;t call him that. Ever.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m holding him up by the scruff of his neck. PLEASE throw people at him, he needs the social interaction (even if he&#039;s grumpy about it).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ─ daughter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brave scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was a member of the squadron assigned to contain the law corruption that overtook Jaina’s home, where he found her devastated mourning her recently deceased parents. Despite being bad at it, Astrophel tried his best to offer her a modicum of comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Thankfully she wasn’t badly affected by the corruption and made a full recovery, yet, she surprisingly decided to keep in contact with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship. When she told him about her decision to join the Outerworld Division he was terribly against it, citing how she shouldn’t be responsible for carrying the burden of her parents&#039; research. Of course, she didn’t falter when faced with his disapproval so he, begrudgingly, conceded as long as she takes care of herself and doesn’t do anything reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel feels very proud of her; despite living through such a terrible event she remains a kind and compassionate person. A strong young woman with a bright future ahead of her, she’s &#039;&#039;his daughter&#039;&#039; in every way except in legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nine]] ─ coworker, respects, a bit intimidating, complicated ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A aloof housekeeper who works in the same Division as him. They meet when Astrophel is asked by Freyja to take over a checkup with Nine while she was away. Nine, of course, didn’t show up and Phel had to basically corner the other man in his “office”.  Their relationship started… &#039;&#039;difficult&#039;&#039;, to say the least. Maybe Nine pointed a knife at him and Phel was ready to kill him by their third meeting. But they were able to mend things with the help of Jaina, who has decided that both of them are her parental figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel feels a strong relatability toward Nine and wishes he could connect more with him but he doesn’t quite know &#039;&#039;how&#039;&#039; to reach him. Yet. He thinks Nine is very &#039;&#039;weird&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nyx Roseblood]] ─ capable fighter, surprisingly fun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A boisterous adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, they meet after Nyx broke her arm in a wrestling match against Selena. Despite her… unique personality and overall rowdiness Astrophel finds her surprisingly endearing and fun to have around. She often comes by the medical wing to get her injuries treated and talk his ear off about her, often embellished, recountings of her latest mission accomplishment. Although she exaggerates it, she is in fact a formidable fighter and Phel greatly respects her strength, if assigned on a mission together he knows she’ll hold her own just fine. He finds himself missing her company and worrying about her safety when she’s gone. Nobody has to know how much she reminds him of the cute fluffy sheep back at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Freyja Lest]] ─ coworker, greatly respects ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skillful botanical doctor who works in the same Division as him. Due to her seniority and approachable personality, he feels comfortable consulting her when it comes to medicinal herbs. Astrophel greatly respects her passion and dedication to her work, her single minded focus on whatever she’s researching is impressive, but he wishes she would not skip meals and take a few breaks in between. While he will never admit it, he feels a bit of kinship towards her since both are snow leopard kindred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Senti Ballahast]] ─ coworker, protective of, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shy medical student who works in the same Division as him. While his nervous nature made Astrophel concerned if he was really fit to be a healer, Senti has more than proved himself by sheer determination and hardwork. Phel has found himself being sort of protective over the youngest member of the Division, giving him pointers in whatever areas he can and (secretly) offering to be paired up with him when sent out to the field to give him more experience. While Senti still has a long way to go, Phel can confidently say he’ll make an exceptional doctor in the future. While he will never admit it he finds himself being curious over him since Phel hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Odin Finch]] ─ greatly respects, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seasoned squadron captain working in the Outerworld Division and co-founder of the Valhalla Project. Astrophel had heard a lot about the renowned and fearsome captain and her great feats on the field but he was particularly surprised when they worked together for the first time, her carefree and friendly personality weren’t what he was expecting at all. By watching how she is towards others he quickly grows to greatly respect her and he finds that her reputation does precede her, she truly is a competent fighter and leader, he trusts her judgement and knows she’ll have his back. Once he learns about her background he develops a quiet kinship towards her - she &#039;&#039;understands&#039;&#039; what is like to live off of scraps, to not have a roof over your head and the constant uncertainty of it all. The moment he hears about her efforts in the Valhalla Project his respect towards her skyrockets and he quickly offers to help wherever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Korin Altair]] ─ dependable, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reserved co-founder of the Valhalla Project. They only meet after Astrophel has been contributing in the orphanage for a while and he had no idea what to make of him at first, his serious demeanor and overall quietness made it seem like he had no interest in idle chit chat so Phel just let him be. He does come to realize how caring he is towards the orphans and his deep dedication to the project. While they don’t cross paths super often, they have developed a slight camaraderie and can be found riling each other up with sarcastic quips over a good meal and drink when they happen to meet. Phel feels a sense of quiet kinship towards him just like he does to Odin. However… in rare moments he feels a small sense of unease around him, and he cannot put his finger on &#039;&#039;why&#039;&#039;…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ruairi Cromwell]] ─ capable fighter, friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skilled adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, their paths crossed after Ruairi got scrapped during the fight with Loco Motion. His fighting prowess and calm demeanor make him a good companion when they happen to work on missions together, and his charismatic personality has slowly chipped away at Phel’s icy exterior. He knows he can count on him on the field. Maybe they have more in common than Astrophel thinks…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ─ concerned about, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A placid researcher working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet due to Hanzekihels’ poor health and Faltered condition often landing him on the medical wing. His uninterested approach made him seem rather cold at first but Astrophel finds that they are both just people who don’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter. Slowly, they bonded over quiet companionship, interest in constellations and complete opposite tastes in food. While Hanze is an intelligent man this intelligence seems to vanish when it comes to taking care of himself, often skipping meals and pulling all nighters, which lead to Phel taking it onto himself to try to get him to eat proper meals and go to bed at reasonable times if he hears about it. If you see Astrophel carrying him over his shoulder please don’t worry about it, trust me it’s for his own good. Doctors orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Monica Holst]] ─ concerned about, protective of, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An energetic scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was assigned to go into the same Bubble as Monica when her squadron was attacked, he was on the next squadron supposed to take the shift after hers. When her squadron was late for the shift change they were all concerned, when she stumbled out of the bubble - alone, completely alone - Phel was one of the first people to get to her. This event took a terrible toll on her, he was convinced she wasn’t gonna make it at some points and yet she made it - not without sequels. He finds himself paying them visits and checking up on them when he can, he develops a protective feeling towards them - and maybe, just maybe, he feels a little guilty he couldn’t come to their aid sooner. Since they share an interest in plushies, Phel keeps an eye out for any cute ones to give to her when they meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Lyna Solai]] ─ friendly, dependable, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An upbeat environmental surveyor working in the Arcane Sciences Division. They’ve come to meet because of their mutual relationship with Freyja, while he expected them to stay as just acquaintances Lynas’ general charismatic personality slowly wormed her way into a more friendly connection. Astrophel finds her genuine curiosity and eagerness to understand everything around her refreshing. Lynas’ draconic origins shocked him, not only because duh, &#039;&#039;she’s a dragon&#039;&#039;, but also because she looks so &#039;&#039;adorable&#039;&#039; when in her dragon form. He will never utter a word about it, but she reminds him a lot of his beloved plushies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bunny Burrows]] ─ friendly ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A kind and charismatic patisserie owner of the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie. While Astrophel had heard about the Sugarbun&#039;s Pâtisserie before - hard not to when people come out of the establishment singing it praises like they just got severe actual sugary ambrosia - he never really felt the need to check the place out since sweets aren’t his thing. That is until the Phoenix Festival. He kept hearing about this &amp;quot;cinnabomb challenge&amp;quot; and decided to take a moment to check if this treat is as spicy as they say. Her treats do in fact live up to all the praise and Phel got surprised by how friendly yet unobtrusive Bunny is. He tries to pass by Sugarbun’s once in a while for a good cup of coffee and some friendly chatter if Bunny is up for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Fovelly]] ─ protective of, concerned about, curious about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An outgoing orphan from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and Fovelly decides that he’s the perfect living jungle gym to play with. Due to her general clumsy and airheaded nature she often stumbles around and gets scrapes and bruises, Phel is terribly concerned she’s going to hurt herself badly someday so he will quietly hover around her and catch her with his tail when possible. He found himself growing attached to this little spider and now looks forward to whenever she asks him to play with her. Phel finds himself being slightly curious over her since he hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Pollux and Castor]] ─ protective of, concerned about ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two mischievous twin orphans from the Valhalla Project. They meet when Astrophel starts contributing at the orphanage and he finds himself being prime victim to their shenanigans since he always has shiny silver accessories on himself. While they are a handful, and dragons above do they &#039;&#039;love&#039;&#039; trouble, he found himself getting attached to the kids. He doesn’t mind their antics as much and has occasionally been tasked with rounding up the fledglings after they run off to find more unsuspecting victims. He just wishes they would stop pouncing on his tail unannounced…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Manako Mitsu]] ─ coworker, sees potential ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small and quiet apothecary who works in the same Division as him. Despite her meek personality, he can see her passion for her field on the few times she lost herself while speaking about her interests and how her posture changes when working. Is particularly interested in learning about what kind of alcohol she ferments after hearing about it offhandedly, now if only he could muster the courage to ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ─ capable fighter, pushes his buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fiery adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. At first glance Astrophel was convinced she would just be your typical privileged rich kid type, a fancy looking woman from a noble house that talks the talk but runs with her tail between her legs when things get tough. Well… her sharp tongue and crude approach made him quickly realize how she’s very much not like that. Bellona has a particularly keen ability to push his buttons and comments about his bedside manners bring out his old quick temper back to the surface, but she is a experienced fighter and highly dependable on the field so really he can’t complain much. But, dragons above, does she get on his nerves sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ─ privileged prick ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silver-tongued treasurer working in the Trade Division. Two-faced, driven by selfishness and coming from a privileged upbringing, Ari is everything Astrophel despises in a person. He could see through his charismatic and good looking persona from the get-go and quickly decided he’s not someone he wishes to have around himself, despite Ari’s best attempts. They still cross paths from time to time and, while Phel tries to keep a modicum of professionality, Ari seems to know exactly how to push his buttons in the worst ways possible with the least amount of words, there might have been times people had to pry the off of each other before they escalated into physical fights. Despite his obvious dislike, Ari seems to randomly seek him out. What for? Who knows. If Phel had to guess, just to piss him off.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m holding him up by the scruff of his neck. PLEASE throw people at him, he needs the social interaction (even if he&#039;s grumpy about it).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ─ daughter ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brave scout working in the Outerworld Division. Astrophel was a member of the squadron assigned to contain the law corruption that overtook Jaina’s home, where he found her devastated mourning her recently deceased parents. Despite being bad at it, Astrophel tried his best to offer her a modicum of comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Thankfully she wasn’t badly affected by the corruption and made a full recovery, yet, she surprisingly decided to keep in contact with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They quickly grow very close and attached to each other, developing a strong familial relationship. When she told him about her decision to join the Outerworld Division he was terribly against it, citing how she shouldn’t be responsible for carrying the burden of her parents&#039; research. Of course, she didn’t falter when faced with his disapproval so he, begrudgingly, conceded as long as she takes care of herself and doesn’t do anything reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phel feels very proud of her; despite living through such a terrible event she remains a kind and compassionate person. A strong young woman with a bright future ahead of her, she’s &#039;&#039;his daughter&#039;&#039; in every way except in legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nine]] ─ coworker, respects, a bit intimidating, complicated ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A aloof housekeeper who works in the same Division as him. They meet when Astrophel is asked by Freyja to take over a checkup with Nine while she was away. Nine, of course, didn’t show up and Phel had to basically corner the other man in his “office”.  Their relationship started… &#039;&#039;difficult&#039;&#039;, to say the least. Maybe Nine pointed a knife at him and Phel was ready to kill him by their third meeting. But they were able to mend things with the help of Jaina, who has decided that both of them are her parental figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel feels a strong relatability toward Nine and wishes he could connect more with him but he doesn’t quite know &#039;&#039;how&#039;&#039; to reach him. Yet. He thinks Nine is very &#039;&#039;weird&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Nyx Roseblood]] ─ capable fighter, surprisingly fun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A boisterous adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division, they meet after Nyx broke her arm in a wrestling match against Selena. Despite her… unique personality and overall rowdiness Astrophel finds her surprisingly endearing and fun to have around. She often comes by the medical wing to get her injuries treated and talk his ear off about her, often embellished, recountings of her latest mission accomplishment. Although she exaggerates it, she is in fact a formidable fighter and Phel greatly respects her strength, if assigned on a mission together he knows she’ll hold her own just fine. He finds himself missing her company and worrying about her safety when she’s gone. Nobody has to know how much she reminds him of the cute fluffy sheep back at home.&lt;br /&gt;

Astrophel greatly respects her passion and dedication to her work, her single minded focus on whatever she’s researching is impressive, but he wishes she would not skip meals and take a few breaks in between. While he will never admit it, he feels a bit of kinship towards her since both are snow leopard kindred.&lt;br /&gt;

While his nervous nature made Astrophel concerned if he was really fit to be a healer, Senti has more than proved himself by sheer determination and hardwork.

While Senti still has a long way to go, Phel can confidently say he’ll make an exceptional doctor in the future. While he will never admit it he finds himself being curious over him since Phel hasn’t had contact with many Sectums in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Odin Finch]] ─ greatly respects, capable fighter ===&lt;br /&gt;

A small and quiet apothecary who works in the same Division as him. Despite her meek personality, he can see her passion for her field on the few times she lost herself while speaking about her interests and how her posture changes when working. Is particularly interested in learning about what kind of alcohol she ferments after hearing about it offhandedly, now if only he could muster the courage to ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ─ capable fighter, pushes his buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fiery adventurer working in the Wayfarers’ Division. At first glance Astrophel was convinced she would just be your typical privileged rich kid type, a fancy looking woman from a noble house that talks the talk but runs with her tail between her legs when things get tough. Well… her sharp tongue and crude approach made him quickly realize how she’s very much not like that. Bellona has a particularly keen ability to push his buttons and comments about his bedside manners bring out his old quick temper back to the surface, but she is a experienced fighter and highly dependable on the field so really he can’t complain much. But, dragons above, does she get on his nerves sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ─ privileged prick ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;“...”&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silver-tongued treasurer working in the Trade Division. Two-faced, driven by selfishness and coming from a privileged upbringing, Ari is everything Astrophel despises in a person. He could see through his charismatic and good looking persona from the get-go and quickly decided he’s not someone he wishes to have around himself, despite Ari’s best attempts. They still cross paths from time to time and, while Phel tries to keep a modicum of professionality, Ari seems to know exactly how to push his buttons in the worst ways possible with the least amount of words, there might have been times people had to pry the off of each other before they escalated into physical fights. Despite his obvious dislike, Ari seems to randomly seek him out. What for? Who knows. If Phel had to guess, just to piss him off.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Astrophel Argentum&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Races#Kindred|Lesser Kindred]] originally from [[Tírr]] who works as an on-call doctor at the [[Contingency Division|Contingency Division]]. A reliable man with a reserved nature, often told &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;he doesn&#039;t look like a doctor&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; due to his intimidating personality and looks. Much to his chagrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is a pretty intimidating figure, standing at 6&#039;11&amp;quot; with broad shoulders and muscular build, not helped by the perpetual furrow to his brow, a scowl that always shows his lower fangs due to underbite and sharp eyes with heterochromia, right eye is hazel and left is green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His dark skin is littered with scars big and small, both from his childhood and his time on the field. Tiny moles can be found in various places. Has long white hair with black tips that reaches around his ribs. As a snow leopard Kindred, Phel has some animal traits such as round fluffy ears, a particularly long fluffy tail, sharp claws and facial markings around his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If not wearing his work clothes you&#039;ll mostly see him wearing clothes appropriated for cold weather, things like sweaters, button up shirts, jackets, boots and furs in some way. Generally in neutral tones with few splashes of color. While not really vain, Astrophel takes care of his appearance, especially his hair and fur. Often changes hairstyles but always has braids in some way. Likes to use silver jewelry, has many piercings on his ears and a nose bridge one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel is often regarded as unapproachable and intimidating due to his normally taciturn nature, he doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence with chatter and generally keeps his thoughts to himself. On top of that, his frank approach and crass manner of speaking often make him seem more aggressive than he actually is.  He&#039;s just very undersocialized, which makes him awkward and often unaware of social cues. Secretly, a bit lonely too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to his particularly rough childhood living on the streets he has grown slightly wary of others at first, he often puts his walls up expecting people to have negative intentions towards him and slowly puts them down with time. His background has also made very resilient and self-sufficient; he’s not incapable of asking for help but he does try to refrain from doing so. While he hasn’t  noticed yet, he’s very nurturing of other people and discreetly encourages anyone he sees potential in, wishing to give them the same chance of having someone to support them like his parents once gave him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under his parents&#039; care he has grown to be a very hardworking and humble man who doesn’t take things for granted and respects even the most menial of works. This eventually leads him to be regarded as a particularly reliable person who fulfills whatever task is handed to him. To those close to him he is a fiercely loyal and protective companion, who shows his care through quiet action, unabashedly affectionate too. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When younger he used to have a quick temper and would quickly result to violence at the slightest provocation, he has since curbed this and is much more level-headed. But old habits die hard and he might still snap if pushed to his limits or if provoked just right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Likes:&#039;&#039;&#039; plushies, stargazing, warmth (he is a cat), napping, hearty &amp;amp; spicy food, comfy things, coffee, silver jewelry, being useful, hairstyling, mead, his family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Disikes:&#039;&#039;&#039; sudden or constant loud noises (sensitive ears), toothrotting sweet food, pungent scents &amp;amp; smoke (sensitive nose), liars, privileged people, authority figures who abuse their power, povetry, big &amp;amp; deep bodies of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The archivists are working, check back later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of tutelage under his parents and studying medicine in the Education Division, Astrophel has become a phenomenal doctor whose expertise is greatly valued. His skills particularly shine when sent out on missions. While Phel might be a doctor he is not afraid of combat, he has enough grasp on how to fight and can easily be left to fend for himself on the field which makes him a valuable member to have on particularly difficult missions or emergencies. If worse comes to worst, Phel will defend his patients and teammates with fierce devotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Heart ===&lt;br /&gt;
Phel’s ice aspect, for some reason, makes his body temperature very cold. It has no impact on his health or anything just makes him a walking ice cube. For the longest time he wasn’t aware this was a thing and thought he was just particularly sensitive to the cold weather of Tírr, since leaving for Eversun he discovered that isn’t the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Frigid Touch ===&lt;br /&gt;
The main way he uses his aspect, to heal. Upon touching his patients wounds a layer of frost will cover the area to heal them, depending on how deep or serious the wounds are this layer of frost will vary in thickness. While greatly effective it is somewhat unpleasant; described as &#039;&#039;“akin to standing in snow for too long”&#039;&#039;; he tries not to overly rely on it for the sake of his patient’s comfort, they are always left with a slight chill afterwards. Also used to detect injuries on others by touching them with his hands and sending “waves” of coldness to find where it hurts. His hands also get colder after use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used not to have as much control over it when he was young and could easily cause frostbite. Has done so to himself by accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Boreal Barrier ===&lt;br /&gt;
If not able to put himself between danger and whoever he’s trying to protect in time Astrophel can use his aspect to create a shield in front of someone. It isn’t as strong as his shield but it works in a pinch until he can reach the other person. As the name suggests it looks a bit aurora borealis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Glacial Claw ===&lt;br /&gt;
As a last resort, if Astrophel doesn’t have backup, his shield or can’t fight whatever is attacking him with his fists, he can create small daggers made of ice. They are very primitive in shape, looking more like icicles. This is a technique he made as a child and never refined so he’s likely to overexert himself and, often, hurts his hands. Only one can exist at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Valuables ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Icebreaker&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Astrophel&#039;s weapon of choice, a shield. It&#039;s a custom piece made of moonlight silver gifted to him by his parents when he finished his studies, very big and heavy with ice, stars and moon motifs. It’s a constant reminder to what he achieves to be – a shield ready to protect and help those in need. It&#039;s around 4&#039;2&amp;quot; in height (idk about weight man). Yes, he also bashes people with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thermal Pouch ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since healing leaves his patients cold, Phel carries around this pouch with warm drinks and simple snacks to give them just a little bit of comfort and replenish their strength. It&#039;s either filled with coffee, tea or different types of soup. Also has some simple medical supplies tucked in there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Marshmallow&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
A unicorn plushie gifted to him by his parents; his first real gift, his first real possession; and the first plushie of his collection. The thing is big and surprisingly soft despite its years. It has a place of honor on his bed and brings him great comfort, especially when he misses his parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice claim&#039;&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3WyROW5FOk&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Kamran Nikhad as Wilberry Cookie&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;]&#039;&#039; (thank you GumdropChaos for the suggestion ♡).&lt;br /&gt;
* His playlist can be found &#039;&#039;[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/76sDX0wzTmTO2l4CBBRDFz?si=dLnXo3ueQm-Qw9dm6zQi0g &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Phel is ambidextrous.&lt;br /&gt;
*He&#039;s pan/demiromantic and &#039;&#039;terribly&#039;&#039; dense.&lt;br /&gt;
*Not a morning person. Has to have around 3 mugs of coffee before he&#039;s fully awake.&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a big spicy food tolerance.&lt;br /&gt;
* Takes good care of his hair and fur, tail is the softest thing ever and often changes his hair into complex styles. Likes styling other people&#039;s hair.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has a plushie collection. First one was a big unicorn plushie given to him by his parents. (thank you assbread for the suggestion ♡).&lt;br /&gt;
* While his expression generally remains the same, the tail is &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; expressive. Seems like it has a mind of his own sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Can get very protective of his patients, if he thinks you’re enough of a threat he will start yowling and baring his teeth. Friend or foe.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravitates towards warmth when sleeping, will snuggle anyone close enough. Holds his tail in his sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has no mirrors in his dorm or office, doesn&#039;t look at them when he&#039;s by himself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Is secretly slightly self conscious about his handwriting. He feels it’s very blocky and ugly, but it’s readable so he shouldn’t care.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hates being called “kitty/kitten” with a passion. Don&#039;t call him that. Ever.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
