Story

Asu Naji grew up in the seaside city of Ayfulin, Ayksia. He often went for trips on his parents' ship long before it became his own and dreamed of a life on the open sea. He loved studying languages and navigation, things he was sure would come in handy when traveling the world.

In 143 a plague wracked through the city, taking with it Asu's parents, grandmother, and first partner, Fatin. Asu was left to take care of his younger brother with the help of his parent's best friend and the quartermaster of The East, Hassan.

Asu decided to take after his parents and become captain of The East. He made the decision to leave his brother, Qassim, behind at the local church orphanage. His reasoning being that the 10-year-old had never been a big fan of sailing.

Upon leaving Ayksia, Asu soon became an alcoholic with a gambling addiction. He struggled with these problems to the point of having to temporarily sell his ship to cover gambling costs. He was able to get his ship back but is still deep in debt. He is now avoiding a debt collector by the name of Sobek Rackham.

One day, a glowing blue orb of water appeared in one of the ship's lanterns. Upon investigation, only Asu could hold the lantern. With the ship's cleric, Asu brought the lantern to a church where it was revealed that Asu has been chosen by the Goddess, Anupriya. However, what he was chosen for is unknown.

Personality

Asu is a bit of an asshole at times, generally replying with sarcasm or sass. Despite this, he is a genuinely caring person; he helps anyone he can, even at a cost to himself. His troubles with addiction and depression lead him to do everything he can to steer people down the right path so they won’t end up like him. He curses like the sailor he is, but many people who only know casual sign language don’t pick up on his foul language.
