Yasu hadn't asked to be born. Yet, when Oni raided his mother's village, the troops sent to recover the captured villagers came back with several of the women with child. What came next led to the loss of the colony of Brinewall, but by then his mother had left for Magnimar alongside several others who lost their homes.
Yasu was one of such children born of the raid, and alongside the other oni-spawn, they were rejected by their families. He was left in the streets of Magnimar, and would have fallen into the clutches of one of the Sczarni gangs, if an orphanage hadn't taken him in first.
Years later he was adopted by a farming family in Sandpoint. Taken to his new home, he found he had new brothers and sisters, but they treated him as a freak. He was used as a source of physical labor, using his great strength to do work from a young age.
One day, as he was out working the fields, he had the fortune of witnessing a ranger perform some astounding feats of archery. An aurochs had gone mad, and was stampeding towards their barn when Shalelu, a ranger who considered the Sandpoint region her home, interceded. Her arrows dropped the aurochs only yards from Yasu's feet, and in that moment, he realized what he was missing in his life... and he decided that archery going to be his legend.
He trained, acquiring a cheap bow and learning to make his own arrows. He didn't have much talent for it; his large arms seemed to be made for things more like axes and plows. Yet, he kept at it.
Taking the horns from the aurochs Shalelu slain, he constructed a bow of a size better suited for his grip, and his skill started to improve. Though he couldn't shoot nearly as fast as the elf, his arrows packed a punch hers could not. This pleased him; he didn't want to replicate her style, but to make one of his own.
Before he knew it, the family that adopted him had started relying on him to bring in fresh meat from his hunts. He could drop a deer with a single shot, something that his brothers could not do with their crossbows.
Life had started to turn around. Though by the time he realized this, his foster family was already old and in poor health. When his foster parents passed, the children, already grown into adults with children of their own, decided that he was no longer welcome. They took the farm for their own, leaving him without a home or purpose.
Taking the bow he crafted himself and several arrows, he set out to Sandpoint proper. The swallowtail festival was coming again, and after the unpleasantness of the last several years, Yasu hoped that he could find some time during the festivities to get some tips from Shalelu or Ameiko, known town heroes, on how best to use his talents. If anything, he hoped he could find a place to earn his keep and find acceptance.
