Asus

**[HAS SOME *SOFT* SPOILERS ABOUT "Arc 2 : Even If We Die" OF THE MAIN STORY! You can still read her page without any problems, but if you want full surprise for the main story, I advice you to read/finish Arc 2 before.]**

Asus is a character from Gato Lana, a 6\* design (✰✰✰✰✰✰). She is one of the five members of 'S.P.E.C.I.A.L', a Faction famous in the Kemono Federation. She is the thirty-ninth design of the story and the third "1st Year Anniv" character. She is 587 years old. [1m77]

### - ***Personality.***

Asus is a very popular Kemono in the Kemono Federation; although saying it is the most popular would be an exaggeration, it is definitely one of the most popular. It has been around since its inception and in fact, long before: Asus is almost 600 years old. Many Kemonos have already talked to her, but few really want to become her friend. Not because she is mean, violent or even cold, but rather because understanding her is not an easy task. Asus is a very powerful Kemono, who easily surpasses the strength of many experienced attackers, but is currently not allowed to leave the Federation without permission, and especially not to fight. Yes, that's right: Asus is not allowed to fight against the Longers. There is a very good reason for this and it was actually Asus herself who told Maslow about her Faction and requested a fight ban for all five of them. The reason is not something she hides, but it is also not something she admits to everyone in a normal conversation. In reality... Asus is an immortal Kemono. However, this had not always been the case: during an expedition led by Livsey, her older sister, they committed a sin that was punished by a couple of Gods (a God and a Goddess) who cursed them forever. Not only are they now immortal - even getting killed would bring them back to life, although the pain would be unbearable - but they have also lost much of their sanity. Fighting each other is too emotional and if any of the five of them were to fight, they would likely lose their minds and even team up with the Longers. It's a curse that may seem silly, but sometimes they can't even figure out what it is to live; sometimes speaking is impossible, with incomprehensible words coming out of their mouths; sometimes they are like rabid animals; sometimes they stand still for minutes, hours on end without saying a word, staring at an empty spot in space.

In short, the five of them lost their minds that day, all because of an unforgivable sin.

Asus doesn't blame her sister, since they all agreed and didn't believe that it would be something so horrible for the Gods, but she blames those two Gods: Asus wants to find them and kill them once and for all, so that she can release the madness of her sister and her three other friends, and finally die by the passing of time. Even though Asus loves her life and is in no hurry to die, she does not want to continue to see all the people she loves die. Because yes, despite her immortality and insanity, Asus quickly becomes attached to others. She doesn't always show it, but she is very sensitive and affected by loss. After all, she saw her parents die before her eyes when she was younger... However, something is different about Asus.

In fact, she is still very sane.

She hates the Longers and is quite crazy, but that's just her personality: Asus managed to hurt one of the two Gods on the day they were cursed, which made the curse very weak in her: only her immortality is like the other four. Despite this, the Kemonos don't want to believe that she can still be sane and so Maslow refuses to let her go out without permission, even though she is the only one who agrees to believe - albeit half-heartedly - Asus.

Otherwise, Asus is a crazy Kemono who is actually very friendly and kind. She protects the other Kemonos when she can and listens to them without any problem. She quickly gets attached to others and gets to know them from the first talk, even though she doesn't like to stick her nose into things that are none of her business. She knows that many don't like her too much because of "who she is", but she doesn't care: Asus knows that she is a good Kemono, so why bother feeling bad about what some people think? Those who know her know that she is nice, although with too much energy... She moves around and talks fast, and sometimes she has... disturbed ideas. Despite all this, Asus is fun, funny and understands the problems of other Kemonos. She doesn't hate humans, nor Morris, but she does really dislike Gods. She doesn't care if a God is nice or not : for her, they are the reason she is in this place and that her sister is crazy. She knows it's mostly their fault, but Asus doesn't give a damn: she will avenge her Faction... one day or another.

### - ***Appearance.***

Asus is a Kemono with mare-like attributes. She has red-orange hair, which is also called "diluno red". It is very long and reaches her pelvis, although she almost always ties it in a ponytail with a thin ribbon. She almost never does her hair, which makes it spiky and messy. Her mare's tail is quite long and stops in a curve; her animal attributes are a little darker red than her hair. Asus' Kemono markings are a fairly saturated yellow and form two spikes that run from his jaw to his eyes in two different colors. His right eye is blue underneath and green above while the other is the opposite, with a different tone. His iris is black and a spiral goes into it, as if drawn into a black hole. She is not afraid to make crazy faces and show her sharp and pointed teeth. She wears a blue garment around her neck with markings that give the impression of coming from the Westlands, like Lost Hell or even Teizanie. Attached to this garment is an ocean blue cape with similar patterns. The cape reaches a little above her buttocks and stops in several spikes. On both of her arms are very light pink garments that stop in a yellow similar to her Kemono marks, with "lines" similar to those on her garment around her neck. She wears gloves of the same yellow color and on her fingers are the same "lines" said before. The glove part of the front of her hands (front of the fingers and palm) is a much darker yellow. On her body is a lapis blue garment that starts from her breasts to her pelvis. Two green straps with "lines" are around her pelvis, forming a kind of "X" a little higher than her navel. She wears a black short that starts from her pelvis and reaches the top of her thighs. Then she wears big red and black shoes that allow her to run comfortably. She has socks underneath to avoid unpleasant rubbing. Her shoes have no brand name, but Asus has already repeated a hundred times that they would come from an old famous brand.

### - ***Stars.***

Asus is a 6\* design/character. Her design has some details, while not being the most complexe one, and she is REALLY powerful.

### - ***Importance in the story.***

Asus is a really important character for the overall story, but also for the main story. She is one of the main characters of 'Arc 2 : Even if We Die'.

### - ***Relationships.***

#### > With Sheerah:

Asus has never spoken at length with the leader of the Sheerah Faction, but she knows one of the members of this Faction very well. She finds Sheerah to have a rather strong Aura and trusts her if she has to fight. Asus has already watched it and it can't help but think that Sheerah is a Kemono that some probably underestimate.

#### > With Panthana:

Asus likes Panthana a lot, especially since the latter doesn't really judge her and understands how Asus really is. They sometimes talk to each other, but since Asus knows that Panthana is friend with almost everyone and talks with a lot of Kemonos, Asus prefers not to bother her too much. She sometimes talks to her about other Arous, since she has known some in the past. Asus is sorry that she doesn't know which race could help her get pregnant.

#### > With Myah:

Asus wonders how Myah manages to keep such long hair without having problems with it. They are good friends who sometimes discuss the economy of the Federation, even if it is clear that Myah sometimes keeps a little distance with Asus: perhaps she is a little afraid of her? Or maybe Asus' energy doesn't quite match Myah's tastes? In any case, it is not impossible to see them discussing economics together, as if it were the most important and interesting subject in the world.

#### > With Ambre:

"What are you still doing topless, haha!" is something Asus often repeats to Ambre. They are "friends" in a way, but rarely speak to each other; finally, it's because Ambre is still with Maxia and Asus doesn't want to interfere, that's all. Asus finds it funny that Ambre doesn't mind showing her bare breasts in the Federation, but Asus got used to it over time.

#### > With Kity:

Too cute ; this is what Asus thinks when she sees Kity. She is interested in her photography sessions and likes to see the pictures she takes; and if Kity agrees to show one or the other photo of her, then she will not hesitate to look at them for long minutes. Also, about Kity's ex-boyfriend... Actually, the reason we don't see him around anymore is because Asus forced him out of the Federation. And with force.

#### > With Kagekuri:

Asus loves the dragonfly wings that Kagekuri has, but touching them would be too risky, so she does her best not to annoy him. Asus knows Kagekuri, but in reality, Kagekuri doesn't really know her. They've never spoken face to face, but Asus knows he's not really...friendly. Well, he's not mean, she knows that; but does she really want to talk to him? Good question.

#### > With Chianina:

Asus is a good friend of Chianina. She is very interested in Chianina's stories and even if she is still sometimes embarrassed when they talk together, she has no trouble seeing her blush: Chianina is too cute, after all! Asus thinks it's one of the cutest Kemonos it's ever come across.

#### > With Nano:

Asus knows Nano personally and they have already spoken for hours together. However, these were not necessarily friendly discussions, but rather... serious. Discussions about rules, laws, what they can and can't do, etc... Asus doesn't find her boring, but Nano is not the person she prefers to discuss with. She can be very friendly... but with Kin. Not with Asus.

#### > With Kin:

Asus greatly prefers Kin to Nano and chatting with him is a lot of fun. Even if Kin needs to stay serious and ban her from going out or even fighting, Asus knows he has no problem if she goes out a bit, as long as she's careful... He's a nice and fluffy Kemono who deserves hugs and love; but Asus is not romantically or sexually attracted to him, so... too bad!

#### > With Lucia:

When talking about beauty, Asus often thinks of Lucia. The latter is barely a centimeter larger than Asus and yet, sometimes it seems to her that it dominates it by a good meter! Asus is very interested in the photos she takes and asks her every week to see them and Lucia appreciates her interest in them. They speak to each other quite often and Asus knows that she is in love with her photographer; it's too obvious!!

#### > With Natalhia:

Asus felt very bad when she learned of the death of Natalhia and her brother. Although she currently doesn't know her brother directly, Natalhia was a fun Kemono to talk to, including a very strong one. Natalhia was even one of the only ones who agreed to train with Asus, yet she knew the real identity of Asus and that she could go crazy; but she believed her when she said she would stay sane, even in a fight. Asus cried when she learned the truth behind her madness and death, all from Nivea directly. Maybe that's why Nivea avoids Asus, sometimes...?

#### > With Salida:

Asus and Salida don't talk to each other much more than that, but since Asus is interested in the sea for many reasons, it's not uncommon for her to go see her to observe the latest research that the team has done. by Salida. Asus also knows that Salida is really very strong and yet, she doesn't fight more than that... It's a wasted talent, for her.

#### > With Maxia:

Asus appreciates Maxia without really knowing her, especially since she is often with her lover, Amber. However, Asus knows that Maxia can go crazy if she uses her Power too much and this puzzled her for a long time, especially since at first she believed that she had been cursed by the same Gods as her; however, that's not it. Asus is still interested in Maxia, even though they almost never speak.

#### > With Marew:

Asus doesn't have a great opinion on Marew other than that he's still really stylish... and handsome... and cute... and his hair is beautiful... and he smells good... She doesn't is not necessarily in love, buuuuut.... Hey.

#### > With Nivea:

Asus knows Nivea well, for a long time; even a little before the creation of the Federation. He too was a good friend of Natalhia and she noticed that his death affected him, especially since he must have been the one who killed her... Asus has nothing against Nivea, since Natalhia had become totally mad, but it seems to her that Nivea has had a hard time talking to her ever since. Though, Asus still appreciates Nivea.

#### > With Mimi:

Just like Lucia or even Kity, Asus finds Mimi too cute!!! Too, too cute!!! She loves her style and the clothes she chooses! Asus sometimes eats with Mimi because it's so cool to eat with her! Why not eat her, too? However, would Mimi agree? Asus should ask, whether it's for fun... or not?

#### > With Gloriae:

Asus has never spoken with Gloriae directly, but she has heard many stories about her or her Faction. She finds it very nice of her to help Kemonos who have mental or physical problems!! Moreover, she is quite young and already so powerful... She will become a threat to all Longers, in the future!

#### > With Starsky:

Asus is very fond of Starsky and having a good friend who can live that long is nice. She knew her even before Level or Natalhia and learned a lot about Starsky over the years: her presence at the Runn War, what she "accomplished" there and the consequences of that, etc... etc... Asus sometimes trains with it, which makes it more powerful each time, but Starsky is a real freak!!! How can you beat such a Kemono?!

#### > With Arioch:

Asus is very amused by Arioch's behavior, but understands anyone who's insuffered by her urge to scare others. Asus is not easily scared, so she doesn't care, but one day she will have to explain to her that she should calm down... Asus really likes Arioch's voice and she wonders why she doesn't try to sing a little more than that.

#### > With Ferren:

Asus likes Ferren and finds his fantasy of making love to "naughty" people very funny. Asus understands it, but at the same time does not understand it. Asus enjoys talking to her when she goes to Justice Prison and always asks her if she did anything with a member of S.P.E.C.I.A.L, but Ferren always says she didn't. This "reassures" Asus, in a way, because she can't imagine Ferren having sex with anyone from her Faction...

#### > With Edlima:

Asus finds Edlima to be very nice and cute, but she's not the kind of Kemono she prefers to chat with. Of course, she has nothing against her, but she never has this great desire to come to her and talk to her. It's just her, Asus still finds that Edlima is a great Kemono.

#### > With Minilow:

Asus is a very good friend of the Constable's daughter, the one called Minilow. She loves her very childish side and playing with her is so much fun. Minilow calls her "the tyrant" or "the madwoman", which often makes her laugh. Asus sometimes plays with her as if she were a villain while Minilow runs for her life, but Asus would never dare to hurt her: she is far too cute... and even strong. Asus appreciates when Minilow comes to see her in her room to talk to her and even comfort her; Minilow is like a little sister for Asus.

#### > With Maslow:

Asus has known Maslow since she was born and even knew her ancestors. She can only respect her and kneel before the power and greatness of their Constable, she who could end the Longers with the snap of a finger. Granted, that might be overkill, but Asus is sure Maslow can lead them to victory... Yet Asus knows that Maslow refuses to fight herself any more than that, and for one...disturbing reason. Asus may be the only Kemono who has any idea WHY she doesn't want to fight, but if she's right... then maybe Maslow is an enemy, not an ally.

### - ***Power Element.***

Asus has a *Lightning* Power. Asus' Power is in the form of her katana, which she names "Sanity". She always keeps it close to her and even if it isn't original to her taste, she adores it. She gains tremendous speed and arcs of lightning appear behind her as she runs. Arcs of lightning also appear behind her katana when she throws it or uses it at full speed. She also has an ability: that of being able to teleport on her katana. From what she knows, this ability has no limitations: in short, she could launch it into space and teleport there if she wished. However, she never tried to teleport too far, but the range is over 10km at 100%. Since her Power is the katana, she can make it disappear and take it back in hand whenever she wants, just like Salida with her trident.
