-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Tactics, Order, Honour
Dislikes: Cowardice, Dishonour, Thievery, Impoliteness
Motivation: Follows an ancient Equestrian philosophy named “The old way of things”. It mainly concerns honour and what actions should be acceptable, but certain parts go much deeper. They speak of the time of the rule of Sovereign Noctis, an Alicorn who is thought off as the greatest ruler that ever sat on the Equestrian Throne. He remained King for over five thousand years and was eventually usurped by his daughter, Great Halcyon, whom in turn lost the throne to her niece, Electrum The philosophy speaks of Sovereign Noctis as a sort of spiritual leader, who guides those who follow his honourable code. Astral's motivation is to keep to this code and to protect Equestria during the darkness of the night.
Strengths: Though the strength of his telekinesis is low, he has a great dexterity with it. He is able to teleport, though has problems with distance and efficiency. Holds almost unbreakable zeal, brave and willing to do what must be done, as long as what must be done is honourable.
Weaknesses/Flaws: A slow runner and gets tired easily, his ability in the more specialised types of magic is next to nil, code of honour can be extremely obstructive.
Fears: He is worried that he will fall ill at some point and be unable to command his unit, losing his respect. He therefore has a fear of many illnesses, even the common cold. He also has a paranoid fear than one of the members of his unit or one of the leaders of the others will try and take his position for themselves. Though it is very unlikely, it does make him slightly cynical, especially any with ponies who he doesn't not know.
Overall Persona: He is extremely strict with his children, doing his best to steer them towards his code of honour, though neither follow his code nearly as zealously as himself. He is proud to lead his unit of Royal Night Watchponies, commanding great respect from those who follow him. His charisma towards his unit is famous across the whole of the Night Watch, some even idolising him. He isn't a lone wolf and much prefers to fight and be in the company of others, even if they aren't members of his unit. Even though fighting dirty is sometimes required, Astral point blank refuses to wander away from his code of honour. He is also extremely arrogant, sometimes completely unwilling to accept any views but his own. He usually charges in to deal with his problems head on, both metaphorically and physically, not pausing to think before he acts to deal with whatever it is that he must, this sometimes leads to a failure to ask 'questions first' and therefore he often makes more of the situation than others might.
