 Born as a regular mortal, he had not long moved out to go to university when he found himself the subject of a certain miqo'te's attention. Unbeknownt to Aster, G'raha Tia - the man flirting with him - was part of a long line of vampires, and was out 'hunting' alone for the first time in his life. Having successfully seduced the viera back to Aster's own bedroom, G'raha proceeded to bite him. However, as the man struggled and cried out in pain, the vampire found himself faltering. Unable to see it through and drain him completely of blood, G'raha fled, leaving Aster to pass out and undergo a transformation into a vampire himself. Born as a regular mortal, he had not long moved out to go to university when he found himself the subject of a certain miqo'te's attention.

The two vampires have bedrooms with coffins, rather than traditional beds, and their shared living area contains a small fridge with blood pouches for the pair. Their other roommate is Byron, a werewolf, placed with the two vampires due to the races' historical animosities, as part of a 'Fostering Interspecies Relations' programme.

-In his life at the college, Aster makes several friends: Y'dehlya, an elemental; Monroe, a shapeshifter; Phoenyx, a 'mortal' with telekinesis and other powers; Nigen, a demon (though their friendship is tenuous at best); Silas, a half-vampire, half-weredragon; and Tyr, a weredragon.+In his life at the college, Aster makes several friends: Y'dehlya, an elemental; Monroe, a shapeshifter; Phoenyx, a 'mortal' with telekinesis and other powers; Nigen, a demon (though their friendship is tenuous at best); Silas, a half-vampire, half-weredragon; Tyr, a weredragon; and August, another weredragon.
  
 +As a vampire who was turned, rather than someone who was born one, Aster's eyes typically remain their normal blue, and his teeth their normal length, until he either feeds or his vampiric instincts are triggered. Then, his eyes shift to crimson, and his teeth lengthen into the typical vampires fangs.
 +
 +In addition, given his mortal upbringing, Aster is often one of the few members of his friend group (along with Phoenyx) who ends up teaching the others about life, customs, and activities in the mortal world. Whilst he is usually bubbly and overjoyed to teach them how to celebrate the various holidays, due to his family believing him to be dead, he can be found curled up with a photo of them and crying at certain times of the year, such as Starlight.

 +===Jurassic Park AU===
 +<WRAP right 200px centeralign> <box round=.5em>{{ :character:aster_aethersong:ffxiv_dx11_bjch9uqnat.png?400 |}}</box> </WRAP> Dr. Aster Aethersong, a specialist in gene therapy and gene-based medicine is flying back from a conference, where he had met one Dr. Byron Attikos (who had coincidentally ended up in the hotel room next to his, and whom he had tentatively spent a few evenings with during the event). The pair end up sitting next to one another on the flight, by complete happenstance.  Unfortunately, their flight crashes onto Isla Nublar, an island which had once been the site of a planned park full of genetically-recreated dinosaurs. The park lies abandoned and the dinosaurs loose.
 +
 +The plane splits upon crashing, with the section containing a party of teenagers (returning from a school trip) becoming separated from most of the rest of the passengers.
 +
 +Aster and Byron learn the hard way the dangers of their new surroundings, when an attack early on injures the latter's arm, and Dr. Aethersong puts his medical knowledge to use patching the man up.
 +
 +Having found the schoolchildren attempting to hole themselves up in the park's main building, the pair make their way towards the breaker room to attempt to restore power to the security systems to protect them. As they make their way through the kitchen en route, they are set upon by raptors. As one lunges for Byron, Aster desperately shoves the man out of the way, taking a fatal claw to his stomach. Knowing that his disembowling will be fatal, as he collapses to the floor he gives Byron an apologetic look and whispers, //"Please, go."//
 +
 +Byron nods, still in shock but with tears already streaming down his cheeks, and manages to say - before taking off and not looking back - is a strained, //"I love you..."// Byron does his best to cover his ears as he flees, so the last thing he hears from Aster isn't the cacophony of agonised screams the man lets out as he's torn apart alive.
