Tall, lean and muscular, Abasi is Garundi, like most that make up Akenstar's population, though he is darker than some courtesy of a Mwangi grandfather. Hair cropped down to prevent it being grabbed, or catching fire, and the blue freckle tattoos of powder burns show his love of the gun, and he wears the wide-brimmed hat common to those who patrol the wastes. The most noticeable thing about him however, is the battered, but well cared for, double-barreled shotgun that is never out of arm's reach.
Personality:
Abasi is a man in love with life. Though he understands the mission's gravity, Abasi intends to make the most of every breath, for who knows when it will be his last.
A devotee of Gorum, Abasi embraces the Lord-in-Iron's doctrine that the only thing that matters is how you acquit yourself today, and prowess in battle the true test of worth, for the past gone and the future only comes to those who live today, and no success matters if you cannot protect it. Like his god, Abasi has no tolerance for cowards or bullies.
Backstory:
Life is hard in Alkenstar. The wastes try to swallow the archduchy, while machinations of Geb and Nex threaten to crush the small state between them. Denied the magic others rely on, the people rely on one another and the wonders of science, particularly the thunder of guns.
Abasi joined the border regiments out of a need for work, and because it called to him. The nerve-fraying tension of a patrol through mutant infested lands, blowing off that tension in a debauched celebration when rotated back. The fear of being stalked by something unseen, the thrill of ending its life, and preserving your own, in an explosion of shot and powder. This is what Abasi was meant for.
