Character and Roleplay Information

History of the Void Eater

Born is southern Garlemald roughly 107 years ago at the border near Corvosi as “Shura ban Cronus”, he was the only son of a humble cabbage farming family. Engrossed by the tales told by a travelling Reaper and her crew begging shelter at the Cronus farm, Shura stowed away in the supply cart of their convoy to the enclave at Lapis Sabalis. However, when introduced to the harsh realities of what it meant to be a Reaper, Shura fled in fear to an icy cave nearby, where he nearly starved and froze to death.

Shura was saved by the voidsent Kronos who forced the essence of a dead archfiend known as Eligos upon Shura, turning them into the voidsent ‘Asura’. Asura trained with Kronos for 80+ years before unintentionally devouring her, and through her sinister whispers was led to Eorzea. Seeking a means to remain fed, Asura joined the voidsent hunting group DWC, but his volatile nature put him in conflict with his allies, and he antagonized them to the point that he was slain.

Two Become One

Asura’s soul returned to the void, freeing the souls he had since consumed, including that of Kronos, to regenerate, while Asura himself was devoured by the voidsent Cacus. A special ability inherited by the voidsent Eligos let Asura’s will overpower Cacus’s, and Cacus had to eject from his own body to not be consumed. Cacus hired DWC to extract Asura, a task which proved successful, and Asura reformed a new body of his own, returning to DWC.

After half a year of penance and stability, the former owner of DWC Devi Embersoul, perhaps sensing Asura’s potential for good, or perhaps wanting Asura trapped in a place where he could do no evil, appointed Asura as the successor and new owner of DWC. Asura has done everything in his power to keep his actions and conscience clear, able to find a level of normalcy which allows him to hide his voidal nature.

Current Events

In recent days, the remnants of Eligos were extracted from Asura, normalizing his emotions and removing some of the more challenging aspects of his nature. Nowadays, while he still remains aether hungry, and polarized towards darkness, he is capable of living a relatively normal life as less a voidsent and more of a very sick farmer.
