Toasi

A commissioned reference sheet of Toasi

Toasi is a Fire Elemental. They live in the Nether and have taken the role of Nether Highway Management. Toasi has built a small village off of the Ice Bridge HW called Hearth. They live there permanently with their adoptive daughter Eros, a child piglin. Toasi is also the former leader of the Sundries faction, and unfortuantely the player is on a permanent hiatus.

## Appearance

Toasi is a humanoid creature made of fire and lava. Their right arm is cut off just below the elbow, replaced with a custom prosthetic arm they made themselves. They wear a simple white shirt that is well worn, a ragged hip length leather cloak, and loose fitting brown pants held up with suspenders. Toasi also wears a pair of leather arm bracers, along with their standard armor. When in the Overworld, Toasi wears a mask to regulate moisture entering their system, and goggles to dim the bright light of the surface.

Toasi does not have a mouth or nose. Their eyes are a pair of bright glowing fires which are relied on heavily to communicate emotions. Their hair is actually excess flames that were not used to keep up their humanoid shape.

Toasi wields a small handheld pistol, also of their own creation.

## Personality

*They have a soft spot for the lost, forgotten or disgraced. - Toasi's Character Intro*

Toasi is a quiet person, not of their own volition. Their lack of mouth forces them to choose their words carefully, and to listen to what is being said. They speak a made up form of sign language that they and Eros came up with. Since then Toasi has taught some others this sign language. When not limited by the need to write down their thoughts first, Toasi is quick witted and humorous.

Toasi is not one for politics, the whole subject is honestly a tad confusing. They have a hopeful and childlike optimism that everything would be alright if two parties simply communicated and put differences aside. This contradicts the fact that they are now a leader heavily.

They are quick to lend a hand to anyone who needs it, be it newcomers learning the land or someone needing a hand collecting resources. Toasi has a deep rooted fear that the moment that they are not useful to anyone they will be abandoned. This likely stems from being shunned by all of the piglin camps they tried to join after becoming an elemental.

## History

### Growing Embers

The memories of being reborn and the life they had led up to that point are blurry at best, and completely forgotten at worst. Not that this bothers Toasi, they are simply grateful for a second chance at life and knows better than to question it. How they managed to gain the attention of a deity is anyone's guess.

Their early years were spent simply trying to understand the world around them. Instincts led them to piglin sounders, but their fiery form terrified most piglins. They watched from afar, learning how to craft simple tools, hunt hoglins, and construct shelters. They found the crossbow clunky and slow to use, so they worked on creating something to better suit their needs. By harnessing the explosive properties of gunpowder dropped by ghasts, they could fire arrows much quicker and with more power! They called their invention the Gun, and it is Toasi's weapon of choice.

One day they noticed a hunting party that had gotten overwhelmed by hoglins, immediately taking pot shots on some of the hoglins. The piglins thanked Toasi for saving their hides and allowed Toasi to trade with their sounder. Toasi quickly took to a sort-of mercenary lifestyle, taking some of the more dangerous jobs that others wouldn't risk. Many sounders still did not trust Toasi, and they gained the nickname Seli Pipi (Fire Pest in Oinkish).

After some time Toasi noticed they were being watched. A piglin child that had seemingly ran away from home had begun to follow them around. After some failed attempts Toasi managed to ask if the child wanted to go back to her home, to which she smugly shook her head. Her name was Eros Toasi later learned, and from then on Toasi had a new friend and traveling companion.

### Founding of Hearth

Over the years, Toasi somehow managed to accrue many piglin friends that appreciated the wanderers lifestyle. Together they developed a sign language system to help communicate with Toasi. When the numbers of their party got to large, it was decided that the group needed a base of operations, at the very least a place to store their loot. They found a shelf of land overlooking a player made path, and connected to a vibrant crimson forest. Soon the first hut went up, a simple thing pressed against a corner. The group enjoyed their new found peace and steadily made progress on other houses. Toasi took the task of erecting a support tower in the middle of the space. Walls went up around the far edge of the shelf, to protect against ghasts and simple falling accidents.

### Sun Rises

One day when Toasi was wrapping up their tower project, a human entered their midst. They wore gold and seemed peaceful enough. The stranger marveled at the small town that had popped up, trying to talk with a piglin. It took quite some time with the language barrier, but it eventually got across that they were looking for the towns leader. Toasi was brought to the human and the two worked out a simple communication system. The stranger introduced themselves as Em, the founder of an overworld village called Sundries. After Toasi explained that their group meant no harm and gave a quick tour, Em offered to show Toasi Sundries. The two made their way to the portal using the Ice HW and pulled up in front of the portal.

## Builds

### The Hearth

Toasi built the Hearth, a little collection of homes centered around a support tower. The main entrance is located at the turn on the Ice HW. Underneath the village is a bastion that Toasi is working on restoring to its former glory. The Hearth is also home to a chapel to various Piglin Deity's. Blackstone walls protect the buildings from ghasts that roam in the open air space just outside.

#### Hearthstone

There is progress being made to expand the Hearth in to the Overworld. The area is contained within a ring of mountains, split by a small river. Toasi managed to make arrangements with a nearby village such that any villagers may move into Hearthstone, given that they assist in the building and maintaining of the place. A farm house and stables are the only complete builds at the moment, but the goal is to have the area be accessible to anyone of any species.

### Sundries

#### Dance Hall

One of the first things Toasi built after joining Sundries was the Dance Hall, an oval building with high ceilings. The outside is decorated with the symbol of Sundries. No one has used the hall yet, except for the many endermen that seem to enjoy leaving piles of dirt, sand and gravel lying around. Despite the lack of use, Toasi is still proud of this build.

#### The Remembrance Hall

When Sundries founder, Emersyn, left suddenly without warning, Toasi felt compelled to honor the legacy they had made here. Toasi studied the trading hall for months, trying to match its build style. Eventually they managed to create a pretty good replication of said style, creating an offshoot to display Emersyn's abandoned goods. Toasi also included a space for their snail, Beloved, in the hall.

#### Gurlfing

A permanent addition from the Great Hearth Festival. It is a combination of Golfing and Curling, although technically its more mini golf than anything. But that's not nearly as fun to say now is it?

### The Valley

#### Moo Market

A simple market place built in some underutilized space near the Rest Pit. Named after the statue of a Mooshroom built in the center.

#### Auction House

##### *Hot Topic*

Inspired by the real life store in looks. Sells many nether specific blocks. There is a basement underneath the cash register that sells cat ears.

##### *Toasi's Thrift*

A small shop to sell excess item gathered from adventures. Also where they sell redstone components.

### Nether Highways

While Toasi did not build the main highways, they have taken up the job of maintaining them. Replacing blocks from stray ghast shots and adding snow in spots where it has melted. They also work to connect new portals to the highways. Toasi has an extensive map of all the portals that they know of, and the highways connecting them.

## Trivia

* Toasi only has one life! The purpose of being reborn as a fire elemental is to take care of any unfinished business one may have, with the added challenge of not knowing what said business is. Therefore, fire elementals only get the one life before they perma-die
* The smell of Toasi's flame changes depending on their mood (Candle = Neutral, Campfire = Happy, Gas = Anxious, etc.)
* Toasi will sometimes just chill in lava. Its like a weighted blanket.
* While Toasi cant remember who they were before they were Toasi, they have vague memories of the brief moments where they were no one.
* Their favorite color is green :D
* Toasi plays the cajon
* Their clothes are made of clothes that were soaked in fire resistance potions, hence why they don't just combust.
* If you could read their mind, you would find that Toasi is actually Incredibly vocal, often cussing out random mobs or singing a song.
