Chai

## "The Will of the Prescript allows me to live despite everything, "

### Young Age

Chai was born in a village of fantasy creatures sometime after the Great Magic War. They didn't have much time nor possibilities to make friends due to having to work at a young age for family debt reasons and the village not having many youths... That is, apart from their best and only friend, an Avian named Fizzio who lives nextdoor from Chai. These two have had a mostly positive friendship from birth, perhaps due to their close age and similar personality... Alas, not everything lasts forever. After a friendship lasting years Fizzio started to subtly change, his demeanor becoming more and more passive aggressive and desperate, often going missing only to reappear hour after, giving no explanation for these outings.

It didn't take long for Chai to finally figure out what was happening, as one day they were invited along to help with Fizzio's work... Only to discover he was building something the two's parents would never allow: A Nether Portal. Chai was baffled at this, being even more so after they were explained why this was being done. Fizzio was placed under a curse, but he was already working on the remedy. The only thing that he was missing, however, was planted deep within the Nether reaches, a place that no one has been to in a very long time, making this outing something that had to be done. Reluctantly agreeing, Chai helped the construction of this imposing twenty by twenty nether portal underground, under the promise that the Avian would come back no matter what. And with a single goodbye, the Avian was gone inside this purple portal.

### Missing Parrot

It took seven days for Chai to lose all hope of their avian friend coming back, throughout which they considered many times speaking the truth to those around them, but always hesitating and lying out of nature, both to them and themself, telling himself it'd be fine, and that Fizzio would be back soon... On the eight day, the Parrian was reported missing themself from the village, what they didn't know is that Chai finally swallowed all fear and headed themself inside the portal, looking for their friend... Two days later the portal closed at the Parrian's own wings, they were back with Fizzio... Or what was left of him anyways. The poor Avian couldn't take on the dangers of the Nether and perished along the way, never accomplishing his promise. After relaying the corpse to the village for a proper burial Chai went missing.

### Secrets in a Book

Although they told no one, Chai had found a book next to Fizzio, although it seems to have burned slightly during this trip to the nether, although they don't know if the Avian found it in the nether or was already carrying it... Suffice to say, the Avian's death greatly scarred Chai's mind, not being able to forgive themself and the best friend for their actions, running away from the village and taking out their sorrow on the portal, dismantling it and disposing of the Obsidian... Opening the book eventually, as it had a pretty weird opening mechanic, Chai found in it one single page.

### Present

After having run away Chai has been wandering, delivering Prescripts to those the Book of Prescripts decided and giving the rewards for completing them. They seem pretty indefferent to what the Prescript holds, making it a point to not get involved more than necessary and letting people decide for themselves... Although they have never told anyone if they themself also receive Prescripts daily, they do always carry alongside one in particular, though it is occulted from sight.
