About

Name: Azxa [pronounced like Aza]
Pronouns: they/any

Species: Xatli
Masterlist: Xatli-138

Theme: Black Holes 2 | Epic Mountain

Azxa is a rather pensive and quiet individual, more of the type to listen and think quietly than to speak. They are soft in their motions and actions, but oddly enjoy the company of cosmic beasts in rehabilitation more than other realitykin. Sometimes, they can be found—in either of their forms—curled up with the beasts, lounging in a quiet peacefulness strange for the crowd they surround themself by.

Despite their gentle nature, their powers are immense and their survival instincts are strong; when the situation arises, the cosmic beasts they seek out stand little match for even Azxa's reluctant fighting spirit.

Abilities

Azxa has the general abilities of Xatli. They can freely detach and re-attach their heads like a floating satellite, and they can absorb their Scenes to enter their Portal Form, with their inner wings forming a pocket dimension. They have great control over their pocket dimension, allowing them to carry a fair number of items as well as living beings. Inside, it has the appearance of a vast expanse of space with a black hole in the distance. 

Additionally, Azxa has elemental power over Nebula and Gold. Parts of their body are made of this material, and they can manipulate these elements into various forms for various purposes. 

Azxa has excellent skill and instinct in combat, making them an incredibly capable fighter, though they prefer not to fight if they do not need to.

History

Azxa is a Xatli originally born far away from Planet Xaoc. They spent their early years wandering the galaxies until encountering one of the cosmic monsters that were, like them, formed out of the fragments of the Entity of Reality. They witnessed the horrors it inflicted upon the mortals it encountered, though Azxa did not sense any malice—only an aimlessness, perhaps something almost sad. A feeling Azxa was all too familiar with, and they wondered—if things were different, would they have been like this creature instead? Azxa interacted with the cosmic monster and somehow managed to redirect its attention away from the mortals and convinced it to travel with them peacefully—mainly by avoiding inhabited planets. If they strayed too close to any, the monster would still inflict horrors on those nearby; it often influenced Azxa's reality as well, though it was in ways that Azxa could handle. 

Eventually, they encountered other inhabitants of Xaoc, who told Azxa about Planet Xaoc and asked them to come with them and bring the cosmic creature back with them to be rehabilitated. Azxa agreed, and subsequently spent many years on Xaoc to learn about their kind and their powers, occasionally visiting the cosmic creature they came with and interacting with others that were there, whether they were currently being rehabilitated or were already helping out on missions. Azxa learned how to take care of these creatures, and most often takes missions to find others to bring them back—often working alongside the cosmic creatures they have gotten to know. 

Relations

Kuxu • Friend
Kuxu and Azxa are friends, in their own way—both of them divided from many others by their immense power and capabilities, and both odd in their interactions with others in part to their many years of solitude. Kuxu often seeks out Azxa, making it a little game of keeping track of Azxa's timeline and how well they know each other at that time and that timeline. Azxa enjoys hearing about Kuxu's adventures, happy to sit beside them quietly as they speak. 

Haxathia • Friend
Azxa and Haxathia consider each other friends, though Azxa is too formal in preference to refer to Haxathia as "Xathie." After they parted ways the first time, the two would cross paths every now and then and share what they've experienced in their time apart. Azxa often ends up stoically listening to Haxathia as they tearfully tell both real and fictional stories that moved them, often invested despite not being nearly as emotionally affected as Haxathia.

Xahaal • Friend(?)
Xahaal has found themself enjoying Azxa's company, as they don't seem particularly bothered by Xahaal's presence, nor do they pester Xahaal about any work or help. Xahaal will often tag along with Azxa to wherever they go, draped lazily across their back while they're in portal form or simply resting within Azxa's pocket dimension.
