Aether Hollow was born in an abandoned field, a place where pumpkins were once grown. After an unusual storm, a lightning bolt imbued with spiritual energy struck a withered pumpkin. That energy needed a body, so it took human form from the roots and memories left in the earth after the death of a child trapped beneath it—the same earth where the pumpkins were grown. His soul, along with the lightning bolt, gave life to what is now Aether.
Fun fact: Aether only lived a few years in life and was called Michael, an orphan and wanderer who was trapped under the mud after a tragic storm. His name, Aether, means ether/spirit; Hollow means hollow, empty, and is associated with pumpkins and lost souls. Seventeen years have passed since he became what he is, so he is now about 24 years old, yet he retains the same appearance he had on the day of his death.
