hey if no one's requested him yet, Astor? π₯Ίππ
Ah yes love me some crusty rat man
If I remember correctly its basically canon that astor grew up in a small village and was taught sorcery by an older magic user that lived in the same village (if I got that wrong sorry its been a hot minute since i've looked into it), so, backpacking off of that, I see astor similar to octavo and how I see yuga, well meaning in the beginning.
He would have began learning magic at a young age due to his own interest and wonder on the subject, thinking the feats that could be accomplished with such a thing were simply extordinary, though i also think he wouldn't be very well liked by the other kids in his village, his only real friend being the one who taught him magic in the first place. I just dont think he would relate very well to other kids, which would cause him to throw himself into his studies on magic and astrology, i also think his foresight would be something he was born with, which made even more of a rift between him and other kids, as they always found his visions weird and off putting,
Over time i think he would grow to resent those in his village, feeling like he had been shunned his whole life, bringing up thoughts of revenge and needing more power to show them just what he was capable of. Being a seer i think he would know just how powerful he could become, seeing it in his future, his destiny. At this point i think the sorcerer who taught him magic would be sensing the darkness that had been growing inside of astor, festering for years, and would try to steer him in the right direction, but any attempt would fall on deaf ears, because astor's path was already set.
On his search for more power he would come across calamity ganon, and, again like yuga, saught to control that power, and quite literally seeing its resurgance went to hyrule castle to report his visions to the king, knowing full well what he was doing, his want for revenge now bleeding into all of hyrule and not just within his small village, feeling as if he had been slighted by everyone and everyone, and he would show them all, he alone would bring hyrule to its knees.
He would then get into contact with the yiga, seeing the role they would end up playing in his little plan, gaining their allegiance with promises of ganon's protection come his revival.
From there his story would basically follow the plot of aoc, becoming more and more out of touch with his sanity until eventually being swallowed alive by the very power he saught to control.
For other headcanons, astor gives me Trans Man Vibes, which i think would add to him being shunned by people in his village, and i also see him being aroace, you know, hatred of the world and all.
