character. CHARACTER NAME: Asad SERIES: Suikoden Tierkreis CANON POINT: Post-game APPEARANCE: Character Design Art DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Macabre Dancer. Simply put, even in his actual profession as an Ardent Crusader, his skills were mostly buffs for himself and his party, with two magic spells and one healing spell. The rest are either attack/defense boosts or moves that allow them to give an attack with 100% accuracy. Also it helps that he practically passes off as one, looks-wise.
PERSONALITY: If there was one way of describing Asad, it’s that he is a man who is very true to his heart. As a soldier, Asad is very formal and serious in his work, dedicated in the betterment of his peers and the people he protects, as well as anyone else who may need his service. He’s someone who will be true to his word no matter what, making him a trustworthy and reliable ally. This makes it easier for Sieg and company to agree with allying themselves with the Magedom despite having met him only briefly, with the condition of letting them meet his leader so they would know who it is they are working with. While he would prefer to have as many allies as possible, he isn’t one who will force anyone against their will, as he understands suspicion just as well as anyone else. He is very loyal to the Magedom, fighting for it even during the times when he questioned some of their actions.
However, that doesn’t mean that he will turn a blind eye when it is obvious there is injustice to be had. In fact, his moral compass is so strong that if he will retaliate if someone oversteps their boundaries. This happens with Danash, especially when he finds out that he wanted to take Chrodechild as his bride against her will by holding the Blades hostage, prompting him into charging in to save her. While he is very much aware of hierarchy and would normally listen to his superiors without question, he will never let something that he believes is wrong go by without reacting. That doesn’t mean that he will jump at every sign of injustice. He’s the type to think it over first, analyze it as well as he can and take in the opinions of his peers before he makes a decision, preferring to make sure that he has his facts straight before he acts. This makes him rather insightful, as it shows that he isn’t someone who takes the possible consequences of his actions lightly.
When he swears his loyalty to someone, he will make sure to do the best he can for them. He has such an honest personality that it’s easy for his own soldiers to trust him, going so far as to defect with him from the Magedom later on despite him wanting them to stay behind for their sake. He doesn’t like burdening others with his decisions, preferring to take the responsibility on his own if he could help it. In fact, sometimes he tends to take too much responsibility for the bad things that happen, prompting others to tell him otherwise. However, this doesn’t mean he will refuse others who share his ideals, and if they show that they really want it, he will relent easily to their whims. This happens with Hafin, who wanted to join him badly despite agreeing to stay behind at first, as he is still a soldier who is most loyal to Asad.
Asad is also a person who cares deeply for his friends and his men, going so far as requesting leave from the Company temporarily to help Nakil in his time of need despite having already defected from the Magedom. This ends up with Nakil joining the Company with Asad in the end. Speaking of caring, Asad also has a huge crush on Chrodechild, though he will always openly deny this if anyone points it out. It’s so pathetically obvious that people like Roberto and Liu could tell it immediately, making Robert hostile towards Asad often in case he tries to make a move on Chrodechild. Not that he ever does, though he does tend to get more passionate about things when it comes to her, including rescuing (or failing to, as Chrodechild rescued herself) her from Danash. While he may be nice and friendly, he can get very vicious towards people who hurt those he care about, making him a difficult opponent to deal with when he’s angry.
Outside of duties, he can be very polite and formal, which is also present in his manner of speech. He gets easily flustered by others, and is pretty bad at defending himself in his protests when others point out things he finds hard to deny, like the way he tricked the guards by saying that Chrodechild had agreed to marry Danash so he can help the Blades escape, or when they point out his obvious crush on Chrodechild. This makes it difficult for him to quip back when people gang up on him, and sometimes he ends up disappointed in himself when that happens. He can also end up embarrassing himself unintentionally, especially in his eagerness, just like in the side-comics of the Character Guide Scans, where he accidentally fell into a ditch while trying to impress Chrodechild-- who hadn't been paying attention. He can also be dense sometimes, though not in the same manner as Sieg (who is pretty oblivious to a lot of things), especially when it comes to things about himself, which is probably one of the reasons Nakil and Hafin watch over him.
samples. FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: [The feed starts with the 'Tak tak tak' as the communicator drops to the ground in Asad's haste. He pauses in his steps long enough to notice though, backtracking in order to pick it up.] I suppose losing this now isn't going to help much.
[A frown as he holds onto it, clearly distressed, and unaware that the feed has begun.] I should have been more careful. If I had just kept in mind the possibility that the Gateways were still open, I wouldn't have let my guard down. [A pause, and he starts walking away, speeding up just a little.]
I need to find it now. [Tap. Tap. Tap.] I would not wish to worry Lady Chrodechild, not after she just gave me a mission to fulfill. [Tap. Tap. Tap.] But where would I even find it? I don't even recall going through a Gateway before I got here and--- [He inhales sharply, stopping in his tracks.] How could I have been so ca-- [The feed cuts almost immediately as he clutches his hair in frustration, bumping the communicator by the side of his head and turning it off accidentally. This wasn't going to end well for him.]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: To say he was worried was, perhaps, an understatement. While world-hopping was something he wasn't unfamiliar with, it was still distressing to know you ended up in a completely different realm without your conscious consent. Even worse was that just earlier he was asked by Chrodechild to deliver a message to Sieg, and considering he vanished midway through the journey? It was very distressing indeed.
Not to mention, he thought grimly, I should have been more carefull. It wasn't unlikely for a person to come to another world completely by accident. Cougar did it, and so did Lubberkin, and both of them had taken a while to return to their respective worlds. This was another dilemma he was facing. Perhaps, if he hadn't been in the middle of a mission, he would feel less worried. However, if either Chrodechild or Sieg found out that the messenger has disappeared, it would cause unnecessary trouble. The last thing he wanted was to give them any problems.
He looks at the communicator at hand though, observing it for now. All the initial energy caused by panic has been dispersed, after all, and now all he could do is rest his legs and think a lot more clearly. First off, he knew, he needed to at least search for the Gateway. Perhaps there would be someone here who knew. A Wanderer perhaps? The second was, on the off-chance he could not find it by today, problematic as that is, was to figure out where to stay in the meantime. He did not have currency of this place, nor was he certain if they understood his language or not. If he were lucky, this would be an easy feat.
He sighs, running a hand through his hair. "Quite a predicament I landed in this time." He says to himself.He'll just have to hope for the best then.
