⸻The Wisdom of the Blood
Travelers of Eaa⸻
The name Eaahatepa, their home. A vibrant place, to the east of Yysulani. It had been his home as long as he could understand. Even their ancestors' stories had not told otherwise. The lakes and the rivers had given them the means to thrives in the otherwise humid forest. In the summers they would traverse the rivers down to Shaaloani and some times further to Ty'ak Tyak. Always navigating the route to and from through the countless stars.
⸻Kin to Haatepa
The story goes, that their ancestor found a Haatepa pup alone, and they nursed the pup to adulthood. It was a year before the pup had returned with a family in tow. The kinship grew as both the ancestors migrated to the home that they now settled. Most children of his family find a pup while they are young and it grows with them. The loss of the Haatepa, shorter lived than some Hhetso was marked with a funeral, after all that was their, each passing marked a claw decorating their adornments.
Stay for a Story?⸻
What makes a person leave their home, the place they have known their whole life? It was the stars for him. After completing his viper training before he could settle into a career with the Dustwatch, or as a navigator for his family. He remembered staring up at the stars with Amiimpyll nestled in his lap as puppy. The puppy had barked in the silence of the arid coast line. On the distance was red sails, faint but it was the start of his journey.
La Noscea was busy, and the smell of the sea was so different than the sea by his home. He made a name for himself, by offering to be a guide for night fisherman. It was not long before he enlisted with the adventurer's guild and the Maelstorm. He spent a few years with the the Maelstorm. Taking part in the counter offensive against Garlemald. When he wasn't aboard a ship, his free time was spent exploring La Noscea and Eorzea as a whole to learn as much as he could. Nothing after all was permanant.
He did eventually did return home, maintaining his connections to the old world with a linkshell. He enlisted in the Landsguard as an attempt to pick up his skills as a viper but also offer the knowledge he picked up across the salt. Jaasaho did meet his husband while in Yek Tel. They were married at his home, much to his mother's happiness.
⸻Footprints in the Dust
Welcome to Tural
New to Tural? Jaasaho can be found frequently in Tuliyolol and in Shaaloani. While not always the most outgoing, being in an unfamiliar land can be disconcerting. Sometimes a little coffee and story can make it more welcoming.
The Coyote's Gaze
Silent little footsteps are quick to scamper ahead. Golden eyes often pinning a person in place to search the depths of their soul...probably not there isn't a thought behind those eyes. Ahiimpyll is a little coyote that hangs around Jaasaho, sometimes it is perched on a nearby object. As the physical representation of the Hhetso, Amiimpyll is kin to Jaasaho. Sometimes he will jump into laps and invite attention.
A Viper's Bite
Do you have something needing hunted? While a bit rusty, he wont hesitate jump on the trail. Perhaps you are a more experienced Viper? Any advice or sparring sessions to knock the salt off would bring out the fire of a hunter.
Feathers of the Guard
Recently returned home from the Salt, he joined the landsguard to begin giving back to his home and offer a sense of stability to his home. You could be a more experienced guard, perhaps you need a landsguard? He is willing to listen, learn, and help if he can.
Till the Sea Swallows All
A traveller across the Sea, it is possible if you served in the Maelstorm, you heard of a Turali navigator? You might have seen that viper training in defense of the ships he was on. He mostly went by Jasper or Ash Coyote during this time.
A Navigator's Heart
Growing up surrounded with a passion for the stars, it was second nature for him to just watch the stars. He is willing to just talk about them for hours, and how to navigate by them.
The Fool's Errand
Despite returning home and joining the Landsguard. He does serve as an advisor for the Sharlayan organization FOOLS. For what reason? Well it might be for all sorts of reasons, though a Maelstorm navigator working with Sharlayan might be a note of interest?
A Mercenary
Some times if the money is right, he will take a job. He has a few caveats for his own morality. He does maintain a profile with the adventurer's guild and the Maelstrom.
OOC Information⸻
Jaasaho, is a morally grey adult character. As such please expect adult theming, no one under the age of 20 please.
Typically I am a multi paragraph rper, though I tend to follow the flow of rp. As such I tend to heavily favor lore compliance. The lore is bendy, but not shatterproof.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ and given my character is also LGBTQ+ I do not tolerate and racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, or any harmful stereotyping. This includes harmful depictions of tribal cultures.
