Description
A tall, androgynous figure cloaked in constantly shifting robes of translucent silver and ink. Their face is hidden behind a mirror-mask that reflects the viewer's own face—only with slightly wrong eyes. Their hair is a mane of braided starlight, and where they walk, the air ripples like heat-haze. Their hands are never still. One constantly spins a coin, the other always scribbling with a quill made from phoenix bone. Their belt is decorated with keys, broken clocks, and dice. In dim light, the silhouette of their shadow sometimes shows wings behind them. This tell-tale flaw in the disguise was from their true identity as The Astral Dragon.
Personality
The Astral Dragon in the guise of Lokhar behaved as clever, chaotic, and capricious. They spoke in aphorisms, reversals, and double meanings. They were a jester among Gods, a prophet who scorned worship, a God who answered questions with more questions. Their public persona was one of harmless mischief and enigmatic guidance, yet their advice often upended empires.
