BASIC INFO.
A national embarrassment.

Asahi sas Brutus (presumably his name was once Naeuri Asahi) is Garlemald's Ambassador Plenipotentiary to Doma — he is, effectively, the fantasy-Roman Empire's fantasy-Japanese ambassador to fantasy-Japan. He tends to present an obsequious, mousy demeanor upon first meeting to conceal his more honest tendencies towards spite and rancor. Generally not a nice person.



PLATONIC CONTACT
Not a problem.

SHIPPING & SMUT
ICly, Asahi likes big, tall men with long hair and skill at arms; more specifically, he idolizes Zenos yae Galvus to an unhealthy degree. OOCly, I am not particularly interested in shipping Asahi with anyone at this time (though I'll absolutely play out Asahi/Zenos if that's what you're into). I won't rule out other potential ships if they come up naturally, but shipping isn't a main focus of mine for this character. M/M only.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE
It might as well happen, yeah. Note that he will attempt to defend himself quite competently with a katana. He is neither especially skilled or especially poor at arms: if the Warrior of Light is "level 90," let's say he's about a level 67 Samurai.

MINDREADING
Yes, he's not special. Give me a heads up and you'll get into his head.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS
Nothing in particular will outright trigger him. Though he may be mildly peeved while discussing the Warrior of Light, Yotsuyu, Zenos in certain contexts, his parents, the weather...



BACKTAGGING
No problem. I tend to drop threads whenever I think the conversation is winding down, though; always feel free to poke me into continuing a thread again if you had something planned.

THREADJACKING
Always cool with me.

FOURTHWALLING
I really don't care.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS
None in particular.

PREFERRED THREADS
I'm open to anything, really — gen, action scenes, what have you. I am disinterested in playing Asahi as a petty little clown and am more interested in writing very seriously about the motivations that led him to become a petty little clown. I think it'd be intriguing to play Asahi off Hien, Yugiri, Fordola, any Garleans, any Scions, or any Ascians, but I'm open to most characters from FFXIV as well as cross-canon. Happy to entertain jokes about him looking like Scaramouche from Genshin Impact and Justin from Granblue Fantasy.

SMUT
I don't keep a kinklist, but feel free to send me any preferences if you feel that a thread we're writing is headed toward smut. I'm fine with most kinks and am perfectly happy to write Asahi as a switch, enthusiastic bottom, feisty top, whatever. If I'm not cool with playing something, I'll let you know, and it won't be a dealbreaker; we can work out a compromise or fade to black.
