Astra Darkmoon
Name: Astra Darkmoon

Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf (Moon Elf)
Height: 5'10
Weight: 162 lbs
Skin: Tan
Eyes: Light Brown

Personality: Astra, like many other spellcasters, is a ambitious and curious man who seeks to improve both his skill with magic and knowledge of the multiverse. Unraveling it's secrets is one of his greatest goals, one that he has spent much time in pursuit of. He dislikes charging into situations head-on, preferring to strategize before anything he does.
Backstory:
Astra Darkmoon was born under a moonless sky, an omen some considered bad luck, but his elven mother, Selaria, saw it as a sign of mystery and potential. Growing up on the outskirts of Silverymoon, a city filled with arcane forces, Astra was surrounded by knowledge and magic from a young age. His father was a human scholar and astrologer, would often take him on midnight journeys, teaching him about the stars and constellations which filled the night sky. These quiet moments of reflection beneath the heavens instilled in Astra a sense of wonder and a deep curiosity for the cosmos and the unknown.
As a young half-elf, Astra felt like an outsider, torn between his human and elven heritage. His mother took little interest in him a few short years after his birth, and the surrounding elves never truly saw him as being one of them. Yet, it was in these early years, when he would begin laying the foundation for much of what was to come. He found an odd comfort in the balance of day and night, the time when both the sun and moon shared the sky. His fascination with the veil between light and dark led him to the study of magic, specifically the mysteries of the Weave—the very fabric of magic controlled by the goddess Mystra.
After reaching the age of eighteen, he attended the prestigious Conclave of Silverymoon, Astra's intellectual pursuits focused on the interplay between the natural world and the arcane. As a sage, he dedicated years to studying the Astral Sea where many questions were unanswered, and boundaries between planes were the thinnest. His relentless pursuit of knowledge caught the attention of Mystra, the goddess of magic, who appeared to him in a dream, draped in the twilight of the cosmos.
Mystra’s message was clear: Astra was to be her cleric, a guardian of the balance between light and dark, life and death. His calling was not only to protect the Weave but also to explore the mysteries of magic that others feared to approach. Empowered by his divine connection to the goddess of magic, Astra became a Twilight Cleric, using his understanding of the stars and the balance of dusk and dawn to guide him.
Now, Astra walks the line between the known and unknown, a vigilant protector of magic and its many secrets. As he roams Faerûn, he seeks to expand his knowledge of the Weave and its influence over the world, ever watchful for those who would misuse its power. He makes it his goal to learn every discipline of spellcasting, so he may better serve the forces he seeks to both protect and understand.
