Backstory:
- As a merchant, he regularly stocked up with goods from shipments at the Nile River, accruing high-quality material gathered from Nubia's gold mines and elsewhere, travelling and trading: making a name for himself.
{Side note: common forms of currency were copper, silver, grain & textiles.}
- Though, with a hunger to rise above the market competitions, Aion undertook an expedition for greater bounties.
- During his travels, he stumbled across a meteorite crater, littered with never-before-seen desert glass fragments; these precious stones ranging from shades of transparent yellow to full-bodied gold came from a magical asteroid -- unbeknownst to him.
- As he slid down into the crater to collect his share of the ores, Aion inhaled the lingering traces of thick, torrid stardust, nearly choking to death on the sultry, scorching gas.
- From breathing in the cosmic energy, he had consumed magical matter.
- He underwent a transformation process, gaining celestial, stellar properties.
- His transcendence has cursed him with temporary, uncontrolled episodes of transparency, falling into an intangible state of humanoid matter for several minutes.

>> Some background historical info <<
- Libyan Desert Glass, also known as Libyan Gold Tektite or Great Sand Sea Glass, is a unique and nearly pure silica tektite formed from a mysterious meteorite impact -- generating enough pressure to form reidite (a rare mineral; a form of zircon) and enough heat to melt sand, resulting in the formation of desert glass fragments found in the Lybian Desert -- occurring 26 million years ago (just before the Neogene Period).

- The effects of his magic are also determined by the energy's origin.

Name: Abel Richmond
Age: 32
Gender/Pronouns: Male, he/him
Race/Species: Caucasian human
Time Period: 1926
Appearance (picture or short description):Blue eyes, brown hair. About 6' tall with a very charismatic smile. Face claim is the spectacular Peter Cushing!
Personality (short description): Energetic, he loves to talk and seems outwardly like a very friendly person. However, there's a conniving nature about him that serves him well in his occupation as a bootlegger.
Powers (if applicable): Perhaps there is something of the fae in his vulpine grin, or maybe people feel more inclined to do as he says when he uses a certain tone of voice, but that's all hearsay. It must be, mustn't it?
Weapon of Choice (if applicable)One might argue Abel's silver tongue serves as a weapon, but if it comes down to it he's fairly adept with a revolver or a tommy gun.
