August, The Curves Of Your Lips Rewrite History
ABOUT
The Emperor of the Gods was always known for his accomplished and learned mind. Curiosity, intellect, sharpness, and cleverness all wrapped up in his captivating charm. As Alterias he was the most charismatic and powerful of all the higher powers. The same magnetism pursued him in this existence. His allure is increased ten folds by his striking, almost unearthly beauty. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to assert that Augustus looks sculpted to perfection. Conversation with him reveals his learned mind, analyzing and perceiving from multiple angles and connecting dots to form puzzles. His disarming witty humour and sarcasm just add to his appeal. He perceives the world in an amusingly idiosyncratic way, he loves observing people and analyzing their minds.Though often found tucked in a corner with a book on his chest, you can tell by looking at him that he is fashioned for greatness much grander than his name suggests. But with greatness beyond the comprehension of even gods, comes trials and troubles. Namely one Higher Power he swore his loyalty to and another that wants him gone.THE BASICS

THE EMPEROR OF THE GODS
He was fashioned with energy beyond the heavens. He was the King, imperium over Heavenly Dimensions the other higher powers and divinities had sworn loyalty to. He had the other half of his soul in Arisora, one of the Four Higher Powers who were guardians over divinities. If other higher powers swore loyalty to his greatness, his loyalties lied within her.He didn’t care much for ruling preceding the events of the Celestial Wars. It all felt pointless and he grew restless, so he left Arisora to venture into the unknown. If he had known what was to pursue this decision, he never would have stepped a foot away from her. And then he felt it, he could sense her in danger. It didn’t take him a moment’s hesitation to be by her side again. Unfortunately, he couldn’t have known the magic Cintinv had formed against them. His divine form was weakened but he reincarnated because a king can’t die,He was reborn in England as Augustus Alexander Wang. His essence was greater for his demi-goddess mother to carry who died giving birth to him. He was named after greatness and that was exactly what he promised to the universes. He already belonged somewhere beyond space, beyond time, and everything else.CHILDHOOD
He was brighter than any other child his age, August was a fast learner with curiosity troubling his underdeveloped mind. The boy would solve incredible puzzles and showed competency in critical thinking and research, much to his teachers’ awe.He was always obsessed with math, music, astrophysics, and history. That’s why August was an avid reader and would spend hours researching strange things. He was also incredibly witty and was known for his sarcasm. But despite all of his social genius, he was heavily guarded and rarely let people into his heart. He only seemed to care about his family and especially his younger sister Cassie.TEENAGE
August relocated to Paris when he was thirteen and it was his first encounter with supernatural beings. He met a demon girl his age who asked for his help. Her name was Avery and she had the brightest blue eyes. They briefly dated but he didn’t understand what a crush meant then. Was friendship also romance? Unfortunately, he broke her heart but he didn’t realize that either.Anyway, life seemed to be great. He kept good grades, dabbled in modeling in his spare time, and most importantly, understood that his heart was in astrophysics and cosmology,Moreover, he was loved by all who met him and that feeling didn’t seem so foreign, did it? Kings are used to adoration but August was every bit normal. At least, he should be — shouldn’t he? But no, he wasn’t, the boy was far from ordinary. And everyone saw it in the flicker of his eyes and in his mere presence.AGED 16
August had finished school early and got a scholarship which helped him move back to his birth country. He began his M.Phys at Oxford in the October of that year. He then met Jack Park two months later on a dreary winter night in London. He seemed every bit intriguing but very lonely. The street racer was homeless in London and August offered him a home in his apartment.AGED 17
He met his other half, Amira, in the December of his second year. It was strange how quickly she seemed to captivate him. That was surely a first in his life and though it frightened him, he didn’t hesitate to run headfirst in her direction.He gave her a book that reminded him of her, warm and comforting. It was stranger how she became a home to him so quickly. She would cry and August would tear up. Somehow, August knew this was forever and he knew he won’t ever leave let her leave his side. ( A fear from the past life perhaps? Would also explain this drive to do everything to keep her safe. )Nevertheless, it was the continuation of a companionship that transcends space and time. She was his best friend, his partner in crime, and probably the center of his world.AGED 18
Soon enough, the trio rented a bigger apartment because it made sense to live with your family, didn’t it? August would never tell Amira though that he once saw Jack throw a pebble without moving an inch.It seemed like fate because found a home perhaps greater than his own when he met the two. Perhaps, they were greater than family.AGED 19
So, what do friends do? They form a band. After all, why won’t they when all of them had some history with music? None of them had imagined that just a couple of covers would land them a record deal. Nor did they believe when their first single soared the charts propelling them into overnight fame. It was just your standard pop-rock band that he produced music for, so one of them had imagined their first single would skyrocket to fame.AGED 20
It was a dreary and cold October night when he had vanished without leaving a trace. August doesn’t know how long it took but it felt like it lasted an eon. He had skimmed past multiple historical events and planets he never knew before he was stranded at the edge of the universe. It was odd to tether to nothing, standing at the precipice of the unknown as he doubted existence itself.He wasn’t exactly the same when he returned, August found he could move at impossible speed and slow things down around him. Now, he was a part of the world he had observed from afar. Yet, he didn’t know why Amira’s own pains coming into light at the same time worried him more. It was obvious that they needed answers and so he delved further into the world of gods and monsters.August was just glad that they had Taewon again to help them navigate this world. And, so they all packed up after their degree was finished and followed him into Los Angeles. Ugh, America.Since then they have rented a home in Malibu and bunkered down to figure out who they are with some demon ass-kicking on the side.RETURN
