Appearance
• Physical: Aether's scales are translucent and shifting, seeming to exist in multiple places at once. They are ethereal—130 feet of otherworldly presence—with wings that phase in and out of visibility. Their eyes are portals to other dimensions. • Clothing: They wear garments woven from planar energy, shifting with the planes they touch. • Distinguishing Marks: Their body occasionally phases partially into other dimensions.
Relationships
- Family - Unknown—they may have existed in multiple timelines
- Allies - Other planar travelers, those who need to navigate dimensions, a Drakonian planeswalker
- Rivals - Beings from other planes who want to invade, those who fear planar travel
Personality
- Traits: Detached and otherworldly, genuinely fascinated by other planes, surprisingly concerned about planar stability, often confused about which plane they're on
- Mannerisms: Phases in and out of reality, speaks of other planes casually, becomes disoriented in single-plane environments
- Voice: Echoing and distant, as if coming from multiple places at once
Backstory
Aether has spent two millennia exploring other planes of existence, mapping dimensions and studying planar phenomena. They are one of the few beings who can navigate between planes reliably and have become the foremost expert on planar travel.
Daily Life
Aether explores other planes, documents their findings, maintains the Dimensional Nexus, and advises on planar matters.
Secret
Aether has discovered that something is trying to break through from another plane—something that could destroy Landorya. They are desperately trying to prevent it.
Story Hooks
- 1 Aether needs help exploring a dangerous plane to retrieve important information
- 2 The planar barrier is weakening—Aether needs help reinforcing it before something breaks through
Narrative Value
Aether provides planar-focused quests, access to other dimensions, and their planar threat creates high-stakes adventure potential. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
