Azan's kind of fun.
Faces In Time · by Scholar Gindrug Leese
His main and only goal in life: to have fun! He even made it his warcry: Lets have some fun!
What else is there to write about Azan? Just having fun sounds simple enough, and stating that your only goal is to have fun sounds like a simple minded easy going fella, right? Well, that depends on the actual definition of fun, and Azans kind of fun is probable not to everyones liking. On the other hand, being the Leader of Nexus and having had his fingers in pretty much all plots and events which unfolded in the recent past makes the task of making an accurate portrait quite a challenging one. Especially since nobody of those alive who know him are willing to disclose much, and those who might have information might not be in the position to share it anymore.
His own words about his origins and early years: My dad was a human warlord. Not sure where from. Might be even around here. My mom is a succubus. I grew up on her home plane till dad tried to abduct me and hired a demon to get him a portal out! But she found out because the other demon betrayed him and killed him, I was five then. Otherwise my childhood was fun, apart from the fact that I'm not as strong as a pure blooded warmonger but I don't like to back down much. Or rather, at all. I also don't do discipline or deal with authority well.
When asked to provide information for his biography, Azan was a bit reluctant and said he had to keep a low profile. Apparently, as a child still living in the plane above Aabahran and wanting to have fun he managed to glue the Demon God to his Throne. The God did not take the prank very well, so Azan was forced to leave the plane in a bit of a haste. Again his words: Mom opened a portal over Airia and kicked me out, said I'd fit right in. Riiiight, as if I looked like an avian, pha. Well with the right immigration papers nobody gives a damn and it wasn't too hard to get some.
Nevertheless, Azan was kind enough to provide a list of titles representing his crowning achievements as he sees them, but with little details about the titles themselves. He thought the biography would be more fun if the biographer invented the stories behind the titles. On the other hand, that would of course be very unprofessional so I have decided against it.
The following is the list of titles provided by Azan, with some bits of information: -Gluer of Demon Gods and Thrones. His first important achievement, already described. -Refuge of the Realm. The direct consequence of the previous. -Citizen of Airia -Lover of Mother and Daughter. Apparently he had an affair with both a mother and a daughter, who were related to a guildmaster in Airia. He then decided to brag about it: The guildmaster should not have embarrassed me for my lack of discipline in front of all the class. His own fault. Was totally worth the black eye when I told him in the tavern before I took off, haha. -Outcast of Airia -God of potatoes. Azan: I became the god of potatoes by chance. An interesting lady was looking for some new god to worship. I of course accommodated her needs. -Trickster Extraordaire. Azan: I tricked someone else, but they are still around and it would not be very healthy for me if they became aware. -Player of War Games. Azan: The first time was when I got a watcher and a tribunal who were doing nothing to get mad and kill each other because of me haha -Stirrer of Pots -Tea slayer of the Realm. Anyone who have tasted Azans tea know what this stands for. -Holder of Anthallas Cease and Desist Order. Azan: I did mention I can be very annoying? It's one of my talents. Zoichan handed me a cease and desist order and ordered me to not ever talk to him again. After that I of course just HAD to ask if this was actually according to the law. -Whacker of Puppets -Shooter of Towers -Lover of Crusaders. Apparently as a half-succubus ladies find him irresistible, including a crusader Knight whose name will not be disclosed here. -Cook of the Castle. I guess this would be similar to his famous tea. -Reader of Fortunes -Artist of Power Archs -Provider of Portals -Tracker of Whales -Cleanser of Streets -Tinkerer with powers unknown -Mixer of Vellum -Savior of Kaddars -Master of Annoyance -Seeker of Fun -Bringer of Chaos
To conclude, the list above is still expanding and we all wish Azan many more years of fun and titles. The Knights might disagree, of course.
