Jeshua Yahra'Aslan

 Jeshua Yahra'Aslan (born ~2243 GD, died 2270 GD, resurrected 2270 GD) is the incarnation of Yah (the divine Son aspect of ElohYahRuosh) and the central messianic figure of the Fourth Age Revolution. Known as the Prince of Peace and The Redeemer, Jeshua serves as the spiritual catalyst for both the overthrow of the Septuni Empire and the restoration of humanity's divine connection.

Biography

Early Life

Jeshua was born circa 2243 GD to humble circumstances within the Yahra'Haba community under Septuni occupation. Unlike other revolutionary leaders who rose through political or military means, Jeshua's authority stems from his divine nature as the incarnation of Yah, the second aspect of the ElohYahRuosh trinity.

Ministry Period (2250-2270 GD)

Beginning around age 27, Jeshua began his public ministry focused on:

  • Demonstrating supernatural abilities through healing and miracles
  • Teaching a philosophy of redemptive love and sacrificial service
  • Gathering disciples from across cultural and class boundaries
  • Challenging both imperial authority and religious corruption

Revolutionary Leadership

While other leaders like Ari Griff focus on military strategy and Torston Cameron develops technological innovations, Jeshua serves as the moral and spiritual foundation of the resistance movement, providing:

  • Ethical framework for post-revolution governance
  • Healing for trauma and family divisions
  • Supernatural intervention during critical moments
  • Ultimate sacrifice to restore divine connection

Physical Description

Philosophy and Teachings

Core Doctrine: "Love as Freedom"

"Love is the freedom to choose what's best for someone else, even when it costs you everything. Control is forcing others to meet your needs. I came to teach the difference."

The Nine Shimori Virtues

Jeshua embodies the perfect integration of all Shimori virtues:

  1. Honor & Truth - Never compromises integrity
  2. Patience & Temperance - Responds to crisis with wisdom
  3. Compassion & Understanding - Sees the pain behind every attack

  • Demonstrates that family bonds transcend political manipulation

  3. Practical Forgiveness: Teaching forgiveness as choice, not feeling
  4. Future Vision: Helping families see potential beyond current pain

Combat Style

"The Way of Authority"

Jeshua's fighting philosophy centers on the principle: "The one who strikes first has already lost the battle."

Defensive Mastery:
