    Life Story

    • Yshfa's childhood was spent learning court manners and house management as a household servant in Daendroc. Upon the master he served dying with no apparent heirs, Yshfa took what he could and fled east through Lusits.
    • Yshfa joined a corsair fleet off the coast of Lusits, finding his place acting as a lookout there, this did not last forever, as he eventually was left in the city of Regalia with nothing to call his own, living in poverty there for some time, witnessing several disasters one after another before deciding to leave again for the Ashal Islands.
    • Yshfa then spent his time in the Ashal Islands learning, not only his own peoples language, but culture and history, in the end it did not matter, as he still felt like a stranger in his own homeland.
    • Yshfa returned to Regalia to join up with the Navy during the Dread War, coming to serve under Admiral Abelhard Petrou later in his career, who aided him in rising in the ranks until he could serve as an Admiral himself.
    [​IMG]

    • Visual Information
      • Eye Color: Yellow
      • Hair Color: White
      • Hair Style: No hair beyond standard fur
      • Fur Color: White with Grey stripes
      • Clothing: Yellow Satoor, he wanted something that would match his eyes.
      • Height: 4'
    • Recently he has started using more colorful clothing, his latest attempts at fashion are the result of trying to explain satoors to tailors in Regalia, the results have been less than satisfactory. He keeps his living metal on his arm in the form of armbands, though on occasion has attempted some more decorative forms.
    • He does not speak often, but when he does he has a lot to say. He will speak faster over subjects he is enthusiastic about, and will slow down for serious conversations. Subjects of conversation can range from anything as important as politics and court intrigue that he has picked up, to things that might not mean much to others, like discussions about a good fishing trip or party.
    • Basic Information
      • Impoverish Origins: For much of his life, he was a street urchin or vagabond, money was a stranger to him. Today he has work, a place to stay, food and clothing, but he still feels a deep sense of sorrow for those who are not as fortunate in their desperate bids to escape poverty.
      • Former Slave: As a result of his previous treatment by the "civilized" world, he holds a deep mistrust of those who are wealthy and look down upon others, elves especially. He is, however, still open to interaction, and anyone who approaches in a friendly manner and is honest with him will find him a good friend and loyal ally.
      • Orphaned: If his parents are still alive, they've neglected to bother searching for him, chances are the desert took them shortly after they left him abandoned in an Ithanian town.
    Personality and Abilities
    Option One: The Question List

    • How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness?
      • When in a place where he feels safe, or content, he will relax somewhere comfortable. If he is engaged in a rather enjoyable conversation, he will start contributing to it more, offering ideas and thoughts as he starts to get into the flow of the chatter.
    • How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
      • Danger is a constant, there are many potential dangers, and each one is always worse than the last, avoiding them is best, reasoning with them is better.
    • How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
      • He easily becomes a shut-in in stressful times, hiding away from his problems. He figures that if you move far enough away from a problem, it will stop being an issue.
    • How does your character view Law and Authorities?
      • Guards are usually friendly around him, however some of the more serious lot and higher ups frighten him. He's learned to appreciate the selfless few who are willing to run into a fight to save him.
    • How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
      • Most of them are pink and squishy, a curiosity usually, the larger ones like the orcs and Urls are quite frightening. He likes the scaled folks like the Slizzar are Allar best.
    • How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?
      • No god has ever promised him anything more than vague riddles, so he does not feel the need to call for their help. He will accept the preaching of local religious leaders only if they can promise him anything more than preaching. Most gods are so distant, they might as well not exist to him, which is why Dragon Worship has inspired him, seeing a religion or practice dedicated to the protection of his home, with a god who will assist them, is something he is happy to find. He also still holds firm to the teachings of Kharma in the Baskarr Faith, but holds no other loyalty to it other than being a moral code that fits his own beliefs.
    • How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?
      • It's a pestilence to him, it's strange and often annoying to deal with, especially because it's usually being used against him. He appreciates healing magic, but does not tolerate any magic being used against him, and might go out of his way to attack anyone he sees using it in a fight.
    • How does your character feel towards their family?
      • If he knew them, then he'd probably want to spend as much time with them as possible, for now he substitutes with a number of groups like the Latimer family and other Asha in the city.
    • What is your character the most proud of about themselves?
      • His ability to hide in unlikely places, getting around is great fun for him, and finding ever more unlikely places to get into is his favorite activity. He can often be found up high on ledges or in trees, amusing himself by watching people interacting down below.
    • What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?
      • The potential for loss, with so much to lose, it's hard to hold on to what you've got unless you struggle for every bit of it and more. Anything he can get his hands on, he will fight to keep, especially friends and anybody that he considers family.
    • What is your character's biggest insecurity?
      • Being wrong, he struggles and struggles to record every bit of information he can take in, but is constantly worried that he might be incorrect, especially if he is chastised for accidentally spreading misinformation.
    • What is your character's biggest fear?
      • Being alone in the world, with nobody to have his back and keep him safe. Usually in instances of social conflict, he is most afraid of judgement from large groups, making him susceptible to peer pressure.
    Option Two: The Core List
    • Choose your Character Alignment
      • Neutral Good: He has good intentions, and wants to help others and himself, going so far as to dedicate himself to the protection of Regalia if he has to. In the past he might have gotten up to mischief, but this affinity for chaos has been dulled over time, eventually leading him to become an utter stick in the mud. Though, while his moral code often aligns with the law, he is not averse to breaking it if he feels a law is unjust. So long as it still fits his morality.
    • Choose your Character Personality Type
      • ISTP-A: The Virtuoso
    • Choose your Character's Religion
      • Dragon Worship: (8/10) Yshfa is new to this 'religion', but finds that it already closely suits his personal dedication and desires, so while he is still learning, he is quickly finding an affinity for this group. He specifically believes in the tenets of the Yellow Dragons.
      • Faces of Baskarr: (2/10) Yshfa follows well with the belief of Kharma, finding that it fits his sense of morality well, but does not find much ground with any of the other beliefs, limiting himself only to formal demonstrations in order to fit in with other Asha.

    Weaknesses
    • Personal relationships are not easy to maintain, the general day to day conversations and minor problems of city life are far from concerning to him, leading to an appearance of being disinterested with others problems.
    • Physical weakness: Regardless of his history with his people on ships, and the tendency towards strength of his species, he's remained short and weak, resulting in him being looked upon rather poorly by his people.
    Personality and Abilities
    • Personality:
      Working towards cooperation and common goals is a theme for Yshfa, he is always looking to compromise. In any situation, his first reaction will be to attempt to put together the varying goals of all parties present. His approach to this problem solving is methodical and slow, but if others can take the time to listen then they may find more peaceful solutions to their problems presented.
      Light conversation does not go well for him, shallow words and empty praise mean little to him, and he will not offer them in exchange. While capable of following court procedure and etiquette, he finds these very stressful, preferring deliberation and straightforward debate.
    Likes
    • He enjoys sitting in nature, anything plant related will make him happy, you can usually find him at the local park.
    • People who can handle a conversation on complex subjects, he enjoys a number of subjects from recent diplomacy and military tactics to gardening and architecture.
    • Books, if he can get his hands on them he'll get through them fast, new subjects are always a fascination.
    Dislikes
    • Dishonesty will put you on his list of people to avoid, lies in diplomatic situations often have disastrous results, and he does not appreciate those who put his hard work at stake like that.
    • Elves are a touchy subject, he highly distrusts them, but some have managed to get through that over time.
    • Snooty people, seriously doesn't like those who are judgmental or otherwise look down on others. This applies especially if they're particularly rude to other Asha.

    Life Story
    Abandoned:
    He doesn't know what caused his parents to leave, maybe because he was small and weak, but he was left in the hands of the elders of a dwindling tribe with no future. Before the tribe collapsed, he and the other young members were sent off to the nearest town with a passing trader. None of them are old enough to remember where this tribe was, and most were lost to the seemingly endless world of people that is the Regalian Empire. Yshfa is just one of many lost people who ended up drawing the short straw in life.
    Enslavement:
    He was lucky to avoid the hard labor that most of his species previously experienced, due to his physical weakness he was never much use except as a curiosity, a glorified pet for Magus with status issues. However, it still left him with a deep distrust of nobles, elves especially, when he can, he'll avoid those who appear rich, though he'll still at least give some of them a chance, depending on how he first encounters them. His final owner saw him as something more than just a pet, realizing that his appearance of friendliness and soft demeanor would assist in diplomatic and bureaucratic negotiations, training him in the management of an estate via a brief education at the Eälessa College for Tact and the Ivaëlleanthe Presidium, teaching him to write, manage money, and act appropriately in formal settings. He had been given his first purpose other than mindless obedience. When this owner died, he resolved to settle the final affairs of their estate, as they died without children, oversaw their burial, and realized during this process that he had the ability to free himself in his former owners name. He took full advantage of this, transferring as much wealth as the meager estate could offer to himself and making off like a bandit.
    Aimless:
    The wealth taken from the estate kept him moving for some time, but he could not move far in Altalar society, much of the money was wasted on self protection and fleeing as he carefully dodged slavers on his way to a free home. Once that money dried up, he was forced to move through the wilderness, until he was adopted into a ragtag group consisting of a number of various Gorr. During these aimless wanderings, he tried his hand at various trades, smithing with a group of Dwarves, sailing with a rather questionable crew of Varran with an even more questionable Ailor captain. He even accidentally joined a group that could only be described as some kind of discount mafia, and was happy to take up thievery, usually pointed at wealthy nobles, also engaging in theft of information for the group, for which he attended the Regalian Informational Academy. However, he ran away from that group when they attempted to pressure him into taking assassination contracts after witnessing his stealth and ability to use his living metal as a concealable weapon.
    The Songaskian Invasion:
    The worst time in his life, the Songaskian invasion took everything from him, his adoptive family fled to go live in the wilderness in order to avoid being caught up in the conflict. Unfortunately, life had different plans for them, and during a bandit raid on their wilderness home that resulted in a devastating fire, nearly half of them died. A few of them, notably Kailani, helped pick up the pieces, but all went their separate ways following the disaster.
    Journey Home:
    Following this disaster, the only course of action he felt he had would be to travel to the Asha states in search of a new family or clan. He didn't find quite what he was looking for, but he did find a new purpose. He learned of the School of Mirah, and the tenets of Kharma, resolving to bury himself in seeking fulfillment through these things as some form of escape from his past. He spent a good number of years learning Mi-neb and Sefet, finding them most compatible with his ability as a sailor, alongside attending the Zarmanh College to improve his skills further. But it simply wasn't enough, as morally righteous as he could be following Kharma, and the combat skills offered by the school, still left him feeling empty, bringing him to realize that this was still not his true home. Regardless of how much the worlds of Ailor and Nelfin had tormented him, Regalia was still more his home than this would ever be, so he resolved to return to help enact change in the Regalian Empire, hoping to secure a better future for himself and his people.
    The Bustling City:
    For the past year or more after he has returned to Regalia, he has found many of the changes to be very interesting and potentially useful. Particularly hearing about the recent existence of the Frisque Family has opening him up to the possibility of moving into government and working his way up the ranks. Other recent dramas that have drawn his attention are his recent exposure to information regarding Dragons and Artifacts, he continues to seek out more information on those, and even feels he may have some interest in helping certain groups involved.

    Here is your review.
    • Please state the body fat of the character alongside body shape.
    • Please expand one or two sentences on each personality section questions, as of current it does not offer much insight to the characters personality aside from a lacklustre rundown.
    Make the changes in red and tag me when you're done.

    Technically these do not exist and only exist for half races. You inherit your race's language, anything else requires a point investment into linguistics.

    @Caelamus brought it back down to 19 years old, some name and other various edits, expansions to other information.
    Going to up it to 20 and just add 1 point to a single thing on the 29th, will I need to get it re-re-approved at that time?

    @Caelamus updated for recent proficiency update, added recent history (brief summarized retelling of recent events and their effects on the character) at the end, and updated languages (checked to make sure the third language was allowed, consider update to character template to make permitted languages clearer for new players?)

    Change this to Neutral good rather than Lawful good, put your art reference in a spoiler so it doesn't take up a majority of the page, and you're set to go! Tag me when its done!
