The Emperor of the Sand

Grade: A

Azir was the emperor of an ancient empire known as Shurima. Shurima was a name feared through the ages on the level of the Roman Empire. Azir sought glory, triumph, and above all else order. He was offered a bargain by a travelling merchant, a bargain that would lead to his immortality, and a form that made him more powerful than anything Azir could hope to attain on his own. Azir agreed, and was guided by his guards and the merchant to a temple with a single pool of water in the center. The merchant guided him through the process and then everything went black. Thousands of years later, Azir rose from the pool with a gasp, realizing that his soldiers and even the merchant had been turned to stone, and his form altered. And now, Shurima will rise once more. And the name Azir shall crack the skies!

Powers:

Staff of the Ascended
Azir carries a magical staff to symbolize his rise into ascension. While he carries this staff, he has absolute control over sand, and can use sand to crush other forms of earth to create even more sand. Using this power, he typically creates legions upon legions of soldiers of sand. Some with spears, some with shields. Being made of sand, these soldiers are essentially unkillable, and the best way to get rid of them is to target Azir's staff. If you can get the staff away from him, Azir will become powerless. Additional powers that this staff grants him are the ability to dissolve into sand and reform, automatic flight, and multilingual speaking at a much higher volume.

Ascended Form
Azir's body has been modified by his status as an ascended being. In addition to his animalistic form, Azir does not age, he is effectively immortal. He can lift up to 3 tons and has omnipotent sight, eliminating the element of stealth.

Weaknesses:

Sand Body
While Azir's sand has a much higher melting point than normal sand or the sand his soldiers are made of, one could theoretically superheat his body to turn him into glass. While his spirit will survive within it, Azir will be completely immobile.

The Staff
As the source of his power, Azir's staff is his greatest weakness. If it is taken from him, he has very little versatility in combat, and is forced to engage in hand to hand combat. While he is powerful, he has absolutely no hand to hand combat experience.
