Nsia int Asare

**Nsia int Asare** was an enslaved man who worked for the Ventus family. After suffering physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, he helped instigate a slave revolt in order to free himself and the other slaves.

## Appearance

Nsia had tan skin, dark brown/black hair, and brown eyes. He also had many faded scars across his arms, legs, and torso; Some of them were injuries he received from working, while others were remnants from when he was punished for causing trouble.

## History

Nsia was born as a slave to the Ventus Family in 598 BE. Along with his mother, father, and four siblings, he worked on the surrounding farmlands and occasionally chopped wood. During this time, he developed a close relationship with one of the other slaves, Sona inat Tullo, and learned how to read and write from her.

As Nsia grew older, he suffered both severe physical and emotional abuse. This caused him to become cold and bitter, and began to close himself off from everyone he believed to be "untrustworthy." The only person he would open up to is Sona, as he cared for her very much.

At some point, he asked his parents about why they had to work for another family. He then learned about their ancestor, who had stolen from the past Lord Ventus in order to feed their community. Once the lord had found out, he had decided to strike a deal with them: if they agreed to work for his family, they would be housed, fed, and paid. However, after a hundred years or so, this deal had been forgotten, and now the family treated them as slaves and controlled them with an iron grip.

In early 572 BE, he learned about Sona's plans to revolt against their oppressors, with the goal of killing them all, freeing every slave under their control, and escaping to their proper homeland of Mashar. Desiring to be free from his chains and live his own life, he agreed to assist her.

Several months later Nsia kidnapped the family tutor, Lawrence Werder, as he had discovered their plans and attempted to tell his master. He was then brought out a few weeks later and promptly killed in order to start out their revolt. He then began to help the others destroy the family manor, and kill anyone they could find who wasn't Masharan like them. However, he kept the young heirs Karrina and Lenard alive, as he felt they hadn't done anything to deserve death.

After their work was done, he fled with the other former slaves into the nearby forest. Over the next few weeks, they traveled south towards the border with Mashar; during this time Nsia slowly grew closer with the other slaves, as he felt that they were trustworthy due to going through the same experiences as him.

However one day, their group was discovered and surrounded by Essonite soldiers sent from a nearby lord. Though the soldiers tried to reason with them, Nsia and several others were unwilling to be put back into bondage, and promptly attacked the soldiers. But, due to their lack of experience, they were easily overpowered and eventually killed.

After his death, his soul ended up in the afterlife. He then faced the Cavern of Retribution, where he was punished for his actions while alive, and then began the slow walk towards the Hall of Rebirth. On this journey, however, he stepped off the path and waited until he could meet up with the rest of his soul group. During this time, he noticed Sona walking along the path, and called her over to join him. After reuniting with everyone, they began arguing about whether or not to return to the physical world, with Nsia and Sona being against it. But after talking through his problems, he ultimately decided to try once again, both to prove once and for all if their journey was pointless, and to hopefully do better in his next life.

## Personality

When Nsia was younger, he was happy and energetic like most children. However, as he got older, the abuse he suffered slowly made him grow cold and bitter towards others. Additionally, he would only reveal his true thoughts and feelings to those he deemed as "trustworthy."

## Abilities

Nsia could use the Art of Wrath, with his power level being Weak (1).
