Astra

Astra is the codename used by a mercenary currently under the employ of Salem and hence an antagonist. A happy-go-lucky myth-loving smiling monster, she is always accompanied by her silent, armored partner Morus.

Appearance
Inspiration: Flannery from Pokemon

Personality

 * Astra is self-centred, calculative and cunning, always focusing on what's best for her and Morus. She does not care about the people she hurts or the allies she angers, as her entire soul is trained on the path that she believes benefits her and Morus the most.
 * As a confident-looking woman with a dazzling smile, Astra makes a great first impression with her cool, casually proud persona. She wins people over through her apparent strength and her regal, commanding presence. In a social setting, she will seem to be a great person to be beside.
 * Her personal goal in life is to make enough money as a mercenary to be able to go out on personal expeditions to ancient ruins. Throughout the world of Remnent, fallen civilizations leave many great ruins, with some containing texts of their cultures and mythologies. In other words, she wants to be a 'Tomb Raider', but her poor background means she needs to gather the resources for it.
 * Her fascination with ancient mythology stems from a near-childish excitement with how awesome gods and legends were. Due to her Semblance, her greatest idols are lightning gods and she seeks to emulate them in their cool-factor. Where Ruby is a nerd for weapons, Astra is a nerd for ancient gods and cultures.
 * As a mercenary, she will be very hammy, being very bombastic and boastful as she throws lightning at her opponents. She will practice restrain and precision if it benefits her to, but if not, she loves to just bombard her targets with thunderbolts and witty taunts. Her attacks are thus often very destructive.
 * There are no real insecurities to exploit in her. Astra is an unhinged woman who is supremely stubborn on achieving her goal of being a Tomb Raider. Even her parents gave up on her when she left to chase her childish dream. The only one who can truly affect her is Morus and he listens to every single command of hers. Talking her out of her goal can be considered impossible.
 * When it comes to Morus, she is not sure on why he follows her, but being the only one who truly supports her, she cares for him and generally does not like getting him hurt, but his incredible power has also given her a confidence in him that lets her order him to take on Atlesian destroyers by himself.

Armament and Abilities
Astra is a specialist in combat using knives, with her favourite weapon beings her Thunderbolts, yellow-tinted knives with thunderbolt-shaped blades, which are designed to be capable of being thrown over great distances, as well as boomeranging with a little Aura application. Besides that, she is proficient in using a variety of gun types, from submachine guns and assault rifles to even snipers. However, she is not a true master, even of her knives, due to her focus on her Aura. Besides being pinpoint accurate with her Thunderbolts, she does not really train in any other aspects in their usage.

Aura
Astra's Aura manifests as a forcefield shaded in a multitude of lightning-based colours, from white to yellow to blue to red. It grants her immense speed, both physical and reflexive, while her strength is average. Her Aura shroud is pretty tough, but it is especially powerful against metallic objects as they are subconsciously repelled away.

As hinted, Astra's Semblance is related to electricity. Named by herself as "Zeus" after the ancient god, she is able to summon extremely unstable thunderclouds to surround her area out of nowhere, sending lightning bolts crashing down onto everything within the targeted zone. Her Thunderbolts are used to act as markers for fatal lightning strikes onto her enemies, while she herself is able to let herself be struck in order to absorb and store the electricity, allowing her to personally release it through contact with her target or using her Thunderbolts. With this, she can labelled as a walking artillery barrage.

She typically avoids using the thunderclouds immediately, instead preparing a large storage of lightning within her, both in order to hide her ability's true scale, as well as to practice manipulating the internal electricity to find other functions. One of those functions is to repel or attract any magnetic object by creating an electrical field to alter the charge of the object. Another is to create thunder through a lightning bolt between her hands, forming a deafening sonic boom equivalent to a flashbang.
