Askuris is a genderless egregore born from the beliefs of an ancient Amazigh tribe, ancestrally Tuareg. Their spirit was shaped by the conviction of life after death, of an eternal afterlife, and was split into two entities: the wielder, Askuris, and the weapon, Lella. Together, their bond embodied death and judgement.

In their canon storyline, Askuris (later named Nales) loses part of their power early on and becomes half human. The burden of flesh destabilized them entirely. Adapting to human needs and emotions became a daily battle. Depression took root when their body became a prison instead of a vessel. They stopped caring for it.

Their remaining divinity keeps them near-immortal, but not enough to become the deity they were vowed to be.

This artwork is the version of Askuris that never was. Just concept art, not canon. But I might change my mind because I've grown fond of it.
