❝ DC Universe : Asher Adair was born during a storm so fierce it shook the entire coastline ,, the sea rising up as if welcoming one of its own . his mother ,, Lyria ,, died moments after childbirth ,, unable to withstand the strain of bringing a demigod into the mortal world . Poseidon held his newborn son in grief && fear ,, knowing ancient enemies would sense the child’s power the moment he took his first breath . gentle && soft - spoken even as an infant ,, Asher radiated a quiet strangeness that only emphasized how fragile he appeared . fearing the world would devour him before he could grow ,, Poseidon made the heartbreaking choice to hide him to ensure his survival —to protect him as both a god && his father from enemies drawn to divine blood .

for a time ,, deep within hidden sanctuaries beneath the waves ,, Poseidon trained Asher in secret ,, teaching him to defend himself && harness his extraordinary powers . he taught Asher how to call the water ,, how to move with && control its energy ,, && how to create it from the driest of air . he learned to feel life through currents ,, && to listen to the silent hum of energy that lived within all fluids && even control it . his empathic - pherokinetic ability ,, on the other hand ,, required patience && restraint ,, as Asher’s gentle nature made him hesitant to influence anyone’s emotions ,, even by accident . he even learned ,, through ocean empathy ,, to feel distant currents && the moods of life in the sea ,, sharpening his awareness && connection to his heritage . && though Asher learned quickly with Poseidon’s careful guidance ,, he remained unaware of just how rare && powerful his abilities truly were .

when threats grew too close ,, Poseidon gifted Asher a wave-crest pendant as a reminder that he’d always be with him before sending him far inland to Metropolis ,, a city removed from the ocean && its dangers . there ,, with his father’s contacts setting him up for life ,, Asher grew into a quiet ,, kind ,, && slightly odd man who blended perfectly into a life of books && soft routines as a librarian . he kept to himself ,, hiding the strange moments when water bent toward him or when emotions in a room shifted with his scent ,, && distant echoes of the ocean always whispered to his senses . aware enough to know he was not fully human but unaware enough to underestimate himself ,, he lived in a delicate balance between secrecy && instinct . to most people ,, he was simply the gentle librarian with a faraway look in his eyes . to others ,, a fragile mask hiding the extraordinary .

even in exile ,, Poseidon never abandoned his son . he visited Asher in dreams ,, appearing as whispers of water && reflections ,, only when it was safe from prying eyes . in these moments ,, he reminded Asher that he was loved && that their separation existed solely for his protection . each dream carried the promise that they would meet again when the world allowed it . && as Asher’s powers quietly strengthened over the years into adulthood ,, the pull of the ocean && his father’s presence grew impossible to ignore,, signaling that his true destiny was approaching .❞
