3. Background: Asuka hails from the world Desuya, which at first glance seems to be uninhabitable. The world is locked in synchronous rotation with its twin suns, leaving the sunny half of the world a barren wasteland of sandy dunes and scattered oases (nobody knows what lies on the dark side of the world-nobody who goes there ever returns). The suns are harsh and the winds harsher, sandstorms known to rend skin from bone and leave only corpses where once were men. But there is a thriving society on Desuya-or rather, inside Desuya. Years ago a group of eight mages hollowed out a large section of the crust, moving the entirety of their society belowground. Since then, the Desuyan people have lived belowground.

And to an extent, Asuka’s right. Desuya doesn’t seem to change-it’s been the same for years before his birth, and it will continue to be the same after his death. But one thing in particular that never changes is the lack of water beneath the surface. Asuka may be a bratty, whining dork, but he has a strong sense of responsibility that drives him. As a summoner of the village, he is one of eight responsible for the entire world’s continued life. He has also been in charge of his three siblings ever since his mom died a few years back. He raises his twin sisters as though they were his own daughters (not so much Bre, who is almost grown already), and is fiercely protective of them all. Asuka has a tendency to “adopt” other people into his family, such as the aforementioned tadpole, and though he’ll mess with them mercilessly (“Oi, tadpole, you might want to still the eyebrow-I think it’s starting to breathe!”), that same sense of obligation he feels for his siblings extends to cover whoever he “adopts,” as well. Any time there’s a

All in all, Asuka is a very affable person. He’s very outgoing, very friendly, and is always a source of entertainment wherever he goes. On the flip side, he’s still quite ignorant of the dangers the worlds can hold, which could prove to be a fatal mistake, and Asuka absolutely cannot take anything seriously. He’ll crack jokes while hiding from assassins. He’s obnoxious enough at times to get on anyone’s nerves. His ignorance and laid-back personality lead a lot of people to believe that he’s stupid, and while Asuka will play that up, he also finds it incredibly frustrating. The Keep will be unlike anything he’s seen yet on his travels, and will be full of new things for him to discover and disdain.

Soon after arriving at the tower, they found themselves under attack, from a sort of creature neither recognized. They took shelter in a storage shed nearby, where they discovered a ship awaiting. The ship, however, was in the midst of being stolen by a pair of wannabe pirates who didn’t take kindly to witnesses-one of them was sent to eliminate Asuka and Hito. There was a standoff, which should have ended in Asuka being shot twice, but instead of breaking through the skin, the bullets only left him with welts (Asuka hasn’t voiced it aloud, but he is so freaked out by this it’s not even funny. He has no idea what caused it, but he has his suspicions…). That was more than enough for the boys, who tried to turn tail and get out, but with the thieves locking the ship down to prepare for takeoff, there was little else to do but find a place to hide out. While one of the thieves set off a “smoke bomb” of sorts, filling the halls with acrid fumes, Asuka and Hito found an oversized cauldron to hide in, covering the top with a spell to keep

(Added note to explain magic: Strength of magic is determined through two variables: your lineage and your spirit. Family lines provide a person with a base level of magic-your spirit determines how strong it is from there. Determination, mental health, and sense of self are all factors in this. Each element is produced from each individual. To use magic, one calls forth the magic in their own body and shapes it-during the summoning, the water isn’t brought forth from any source on the planet but from the summoners themselves, who are using their power to create water.

11. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: Asuka was finding it hard to sleep.
He stared at the spell that formed the “lid” of the cauldron above their heads, watching it slowly revolving. He couldn’t see through the magic to the outside, but he didn’t imagine that the smoke would have dissipated just yet. It had been too thick, too cloying to disperse anytime soon-which left them there. Trapped.
After living in Desuya for twenty-two years, that part of it didn’t bother him too much. It was Hito he was worried about. Although the boy had told him he hadn’t been injured during their short-lived showdown with the (crazy) gunman, Asuka had seen the fear on his face. He was used to fighting for his life-going out aboveground had prepared him for a lot. Maybe not being shot at by a madman who thought that telling him “you don’t see me” was a good way to deter unwanted guests, but he’d handled that well enough, he thought. Hito, though… heh. Asuka smiled wryly to himself. Hito probably hadn’t seen any experience fighting past the small
