Rank: Novice
[ Attributes ]
Weapon
Sub-Weapon: Fenris (a blowdart gun)
This wooden blowdart gun was hand-carved and painted by Azurai himself. He's quite proud of it. If you're not him, you're not allowed to touch it. Ever. With this handy little blowdart gun, he can repel his enemies and hunt small critters or fish if needed. When not blindfolded, he's a pretty good shot. While blindfolded.. well.. let's just say he's improving.
[At higher ranks, Azurai will be able to apply stronger medicines and status-effect tinctures to the darts, for use on allies and foes. (ie: fungi spores or tinctures that cause hallucination, confusion, itchiness, etc. for enemies. Or rejuvenation tinctures, anesthetics, numbing serums, etc. for allies.)]

[ Skills ]
Tranquility (Activated Aura)
Much like how a fungus releases it's spores, Azurai has found a way to release tiny particles of his healing mana to help his allies. These healing particles create a passive 5yd aura around him that is quite soothing and restorative. While in Azurai's presence, nearby friends regenerate small amounts of engergy/health and feel refreshed.. like a day at the spa! Isn't that nice?
Duration: Active for 10mins, then fades. Can be cast again after 20mins.
Rejuvenate (Activated Ability)
This is a quick heal that soothes minor aches and repairs small flesh wounds. The result and effectiveness vary depending on what types of fungi Azurai ingests beforehand. Some fungi have cooling properties which are good for inflammation, some have warming properties which are good for aches, and some even make heals stronger! Yeehaw! Azurai places his hands on or over the afflicted area in order to heal it.
Duration: Instant cast, every 5mins. on minor wounds.
Chromatic Miasma (Activated, Defensive Ability)
Azurai breathes onto specific fungi spores in order to activate their ill-effects on enemies. The spores can be spread in one of two ways. Either a dried fungal powder to cover a wide area, or a tincture coated on a blow-dart needle for a single target. Once the spores are inhaled or enter the body, the enemy experiences confusion from hallucination. They will claim that their vision is clouded by a sort of rainbowy chromatic fog, and that they can smell a sweet, floral scent. How magical!
Duration: Instant cast, lasts 5mins on enemies. Can be cast again after 40mins. 5yd radius.
[At higher ranks, Azurai will include spore-based additives to his darts that increase ill-effects on his enemies. During these hallucinations, enemies will also experience one of three sensations: extreme itchiness, temporary blindness, or nausea. That will be fun!
[ Personality ]
[ Positive ]
Generous // Affectionate // Gracious // Optimistic // Innovative
Azurai lives to give. He will generously share his abundance whenever possible, especially if he likes you. He's not the type to just cuddle a stranger, but he won't shove someone off if that is how they are. And if he is close with you, he'll show you in subtle ways. He accepts others with all their differences and is always mindful of showing his courteous nature. Azurai often views his life with great optimism. If something isn't right, he tries to find a way to innovate a better way.
[ Neutral ]
Candid // Chummy // Mellow // Whimsical // Casual>
Azurai meets everyone with an open and sincere approach. It is far better to be someone's friend than it is to be someone's enemy. If he is able to be sociable and chummy with someone, he will. Azurai has always had a certain mellow mood about him. It takes a lot of pressure for him to actually show any signs of agitation. Even then, it's pretty mild. It's just simpler to be easygoing. Maybe that's because of his whimsical nature? Life can be unpredictable, so why not follow suit and go where the wind takes you? It certainly makes it easier to cope with the hard stuff. This kid is as casual as casual gets. From his outlook to his actions. If something happens, it is likely to be fortuitous in one way or another, even via silver linings.
[ Negative ]
Absent-minded // Self-Indulgent // Reckless // Zany // Shameless
For the most part, Azurai has a pretty good head on his shoulders. But that doesn't stop his fanciful mind from running off from time to time while he's deep in thought. Maybe one day he'll be a little less preoccupied? If his mood takes a downturn, he's known to be quite self-indulgent. Be it snacking or working too long, he sometimes lacks good restraint when it comes to his interests being used as a coping mechanism. Can you say reckless? Mhm. Most definitely. At least when others are involved, he's a bit more careful with his recklessness. Speaking of coping mechanisms, his zany nature can be quite comical. Though it helps others sometimes, it's not always good to act like a fool at your own expense. Tut. Tut. Oh well, that's what happens when you're shameless. At least you get a good laugh out of it. Either in the moment or later down the road.

[ Story ]
Arrival
After what seemed like an eternity of sleep, Azurai's mind stirred to the sound of birds chirping in the distance. Then the calm rustling breeze swaying the nearby trees. Even a babbling brook? How peaceful. His azure eyes slowly opened with a protective squint. Where was he? The middle of the woods? Odd. With one deep inhale, Azurai turned over on his side and continued resting in the shade of a particularly large tree, that is, until he'd spotted an elf walk by. A freaking elf?? The boy then perked up and sat there in awe of her. In his mind, it felt shocking for some reason. Like this was some sort of dream or fantasy.
The elven girl caught sight of him as well and she smiled serenely before approaching. She understood the puzzled gaze he gave. He'd just arrived in Aesthia. After a brief introduction and pleasant walk through the forest, she brought the kid home with her and insisted that he stay with her and her family. Just until he was ready to venture out on his own and meet the rest of the protectors, at least. With some reluctance, the family agreed. He looked so helpless and lost. How could they not help?
For a little while, Azurai was unsure of himself. He was unsure of a lot of things, actually. But life with a family of elves kept him quite occupied. They were a modest, close-knit family of medicine makers who excelled in the healing arts. They loved nature and respected it deeply for how it was able to aid them in healing others. While continuing to live among this family, Azurai felt a deep connection with them and discovered that he too had the ability to heal, just as they did. After that, they were more than happy to guide him and teach him their ways.
Now with a new-found purpose, he observed them carefully and adapted to their way of life. A lifestyle that actually felt so oddly familiar. Their daily life routines seemed almost like muscle memory to the kid. They had stretching routines that were akin to the yoga he once practiced. They gardened on their modest plot of land such as he himself once did with his mother. They even had recreational gatherings with friends and neighbors as he once did with his own family and friends. So, although Azurai had yet to recall such facts and similarities about himself, he fit in just fine with them and practiced their specialty. Healing with the aid of medicinal fungi.
Once Azurai felt comfortable living in this world and was confident in his abilities, only one thing remained. He was to depart for Elledolias and be welcomed as a new protector of Aesthia. He was going to miss his first Aesthian family, but it seemed he had a calling to fulfill and lives to save.
Earth History
Though Azurai has recovered a few of his past memories, there are still some parts that are fragmented to him. At the time of his accident, he believes that he'd had an argument with a very close friend, but no details have surfaced yet. The face is a blur. The location is dark. The only thing he can recall of the incident, is the sensation of being immersed in cold, dark waters. Then a headache promptly follows such recollections, so Azurai tends to avoid the topic all together. It must be quite painful, indeed.
As for the rest of his life, some parts of it have come back to him. Such as his love of certain hobbies and interests like yoga, online gaming, cosplaying, art, cooking, and gardening, and recently, some of his family members, to name a few. Oh! He also has two cats! He misses those fur turds dearly. But friends? Nah. At best, Azurai sort of recognizes the voices of his past and occasionally hears memories of trivial conversations he's had with them. But their appearance is still a blur and hasn't cleared in his mind. And something about the thought of friends feels sad.. He just can't put his finger on it.
[ Partial / Locked Memories ]
The Accident
Before the accident, Azurai got into an argument with his friend over a big misunderstanding. Azurai's side of the story wasn't being heard, so he stormed off to recover. In order to blow off some steam, Azurai headed to a nearby bridge to chill. It was he frequented often. It was quiet and overlooked a small river, just on the border of town. Azurai cozied up on the railing and sat in silence for a while.
How was he going to fix things? Maybe there was no making things right? Maybe it was just.. over? Either way, it was time to go home and sleep it off for the night. This was tomorrow's issue. Though he found some comfort in the thought of sleeping it off at home in his warm bed, fate thought otherwise. When Azurai stood up to get off the railing, he could have sworn he heard his friend's voice calling out in the distance behind him. Looking while getting up off a railing is not typically a good idea, apparently. With one wrong move, his foot slipped and he fell off the bridge and into the cold waters below. And the next time he woke up, he was in a brand new world full of excitement and dangers.
The Past
In the past, Azurai had a relatively avarage life. His mother was a very chill person. She was all about zen, art, yoga, and harmony with the mother earth and nature. Gardening was her jam and she often walked around barefoot whenever possible. Real activist material. His father was an architect and generally was a cool guy. The two had a very strong bond and often did outdoorsy stuff together. Other than that, he was an only child and lived a rather mundane life. It was simple and he liked it.
Growing up, Azurai was the type of person who would start a conversation with anyone. It didn't matter what social circle the person was in. He flourished when he was able to talk to others. Though he was friendly with lot of people, Azurai had three really close friends growing up and they were completely, inseparable nerds when they were together. In their late teens, one of the four needed to move across country with his family, but they still had plenty of communication online. As for the three that remained, things got a little complicated thereafter. The dynamic of their friendship changed, causing the eventual misunderstanding that led Azurai's accident.
After graduation from high school, Azurai took some time off before entering college. He carefully evaluated what he wished to pursue and saved up a nice little tuition starter by working a few jobs. When the time came to go back and further his education, he'd gotten an interest in biology, chemistry and pharmacology. He thought it might be really cool to develop medicines and study science in-depth. Unfortunately for Azurai, his accident happened merely 2 months after starting his first semester. So.. thank goodness he became a healer in Aesthia! lol
[ Relations ]
TBA.. He's a newb that surfaced from the woods only recently and needs friends yet.
[ Miscellaneous ]
- Azurai doesn't mind the feeling of being pierced by a needle. Since being in Aesthia, he's even gotten a liking for some acupuncture, thanks to the family he stayed with.
- He's terrified of heights
- He wears a blindfold nearly every day and tends to only take it off at night while it's nice and dark. ..Or if someone asks nicely. He doesn't mind.
- Azurai wears a blindfold because he has been training his other senses for the last two years. It is his goal to gain better intuition regarding his use of mana as well as improve his aim when using his sub-weapon, Fenris. He won't be wearing it forever, but for the time being, he will.
- In his younger years, he was -that kid- you probably got high with at some point.
- After his arrival in Aesthia, he picked up a custom from his foster family. He likes to paint various symbols on his forehead, usually for different occasions or intents. Because he likes to keep his blindfold on 98% of the time, most don't even know he does this. The paints are usually infused with scented oils and are typically quite calming. Who doesn't like some aromatherapy, right?

Roleplay Methods/Availability
RP Method: Discord is easiest for me (either group chat or private)
RP Style: A good mix of lit and script. (I'm pretty open on that front)
Availability: I have no idea when I'll be free. But poke me. A lot. When I think I have time, and I say I have time, something pops up and I get distracted. (my 5yo is great at that.) And after you poke me. Poke me some more. I'm not dead, I swear. I just have no life management skills.
Communication: Discord is preferred, since I don't check DA like.. at all. Especially now that eclipse is mandatory. To fluff with that! :'D
