Being a bashert isn’t something Mayerling comes by often, it’s more of a yearning dream of his to find someone who would truly love him rather than just want him for a one night fling. Being met with such words that hold no more than empty meanings and broken promises, he avoids saying it all together. At least in his experience when it comes to showing such feeling.
Expressing his true feelings, one would rather with hold such sentiments than be vulnerable against the odds. He was taught to be tough at a young age, that he has to fend for himself because in the end. No one is truly there to help. Personality  Radiant in appearance yet those eyes tell a different tale, unkowing how much sadness can linger behind a look. What secrets could a beautiful Xaela hide?Admiration from afar, This Au Ra would not hesitate to spark conversation if he takes a fancy towards you. Despite being on the more soft spoken side, that smile of his feels as warm as peeking sunrays through rustling tree leaves.

Lore

Born of seamstress Hotgo Mother and sheperd Kagon Father within the Steppe, Astolus was no older than 7 when despair fell upon his once bright world when the Dorthal chose to brutalize and massacre the clan in which his family resided. Forced to flee with a surviving group and nothing more than a stuffed toy Karakul by his side, The poor child wouldn't know about what fates followed in the following years.Smuggled and traded upon arriving in Yanxia, months of being trafficked through Thavnir and eventually crossing The Sea of Jade to where the boy would arrived within the Black Shroud. Life was not easy for such a young Xaela. Being sold like nothing more than merchandise, this was a life he did not wish to live. The days passed like flowing water, and when the opportunity appeared, Astolus did not hesitate to flee once again. Running was the only thing he knew and it would be something he would continue to do even up to current day.Once lush and green forests would soon turn into rocky hill and mountains, clouds would threaten over as the temperatures dropped, Finally free from one prison only to land in another. Coethas was no different, and Mayerling was reaching the ends of his ropes, Perhaps there was no light at the end of this tunnel. Having continued his travels that stretched along weeks, other passing travelers would help here and there but only to a certain extent due to the nature of his own looks." Dragon like features.." "Dragonsong War.."Words that would come up far too often around him that had no meaning till he would be of age.
The Western Highlands was a place that Astolus truly believed to have been his final resting place, being found near frozen and starving, gods be merciful that one Temple Knight in particular found him when their scouting group did. This man being the second to last heir of House Caelum. Ser Aldrik. Its all thanks to this single knight that showed the boy what true kidness could really be, despite all the malice in the world, there was still a gentle reassurance that could nurture such a broken and beaten dove.Fast forward as the years fly by, Astolus is now a young and respected noble, having been taken under Ser Mayerling wing, soon to take his fathers place as head of house, a turn of light events would follow once more that will eventually lead to betrayal of those whom he called close comrades, the death of his adoptive father and becoming the sudden successor in leading political change, aiding and helping those who are in need. Just like he was once upon a time.

Hooks

  •  Herbarium Curator : in need of precise referrals in taxonomical studies or histological and geographical information about different flowers of the region? Astolus might be the right suitor

  •  Black Market/Ishgardian Baron : Criminality and the Cartel go hand in hand. Mayerling regularly employs, clashes with, or otherwise interacts with the criminal underground, especially those in Coerthas/Kugane. [Older Mayerling AU]

  •  Hired Merc : Due to personal reasons, he wont discuss but if youre in need of a skilled swordsman who leaves no trace after the job is done? Looks arent the only thing that can be deadly.

  •  The Black Sheep  :: Rumor has it that the head of House Caelum had adopted a dragon like child from the brume, many say the duke had become a heritic for saving such ill omen, let alone to raise it as his own son for them later to become a head of diplomacy and a voice for those less fortunate.

  •  Wrong Place, Right Time : On the run, escaping from captivity like a caged dove, you run into this fleeing individual who on his behalf, begs for help to flee from his captor. Are you willing to help this snowdrop from meeting his demise by those who want him dead.

  •  Echoes : You sense something about them, adesire to find what is lost to you. Whatever it is, our Echo draws us to each other.

  •  Rich and Famous : Anyone whos done frequent business in the Holy See have likely dealt with, or at least heard of, The House of Caelum. Either political, merchant' dealings or the restructure of the hierarchical system, they are no strangers to Ishgards high society. Either respected or despized..
