▉ || THE EXPOSITION

Where and when was your character born or created?

Born in a remote village in Parthevia to a pair of assassins, part of Sham Lash, a secret division of the Parthevian military

How was growing up for your character?

From birth, Ja’far was trained and raised as an assassin. As per Sham Lash’s traditions, he killed his parents at the age of six and had fully cemented his roll as Chief by the age of ten. Ja’far underwent strict and brutal training routines in order to turn him into an efficient killer. The abuse, both physical and psychological, resulted in an aggressive, arrogant personality. After the age of ten, Ja’far became part of Sinbad’s trading company and was adopted by Rurumu’s oldest child. His life became considerably better at this point, where he was, for once, shown what it means to be part of a family and loved. While his life continued to be challenging and filled with hardship, he was for once given the support and care he’d been denied as a child.

Does your character reflect their parent’s or guardian’s beliefs, or do they have their own set of principals?

Ja’far tries not to think about his birth parents much, as they were the ones who brought him into this world as an assassin. He killed them at the age of six and holds a considerable amount of guilt within him despite having been forced to do so. His guardians and found-family after that were crucial in his development as a person. He holds the teachings he was given as a child close to heart and tries to embody all that he was given when he first joined Sinbad’s group. 

Is your character religious or not? How much of an impact does this have on their life?

While the people of Magi show a general belief in the god Solomon and the existence of the ruhk, which Ja’far follows, he doesn’t consider himself religious. His childhood left little room for ideals of higher powers and the abuse he suffered snuffed out any belief he might have held in a god. He doesn’t think on it very often as an adult and is more concerned with the world around him rather than abstract ideas.

Is romance a difficult topic for your character to think about?

Yes and no. Ja’far doesn’t typically think about romance, which makes it easy, in a way. It’s something that happens but he himself has not experienced it nor does he believe himself deserving or capable. Ja’far has difficulty expressing his feelings after having been taught as a child to repress any emotions and relationship. It took a long time for Ja’far to be able to accept love unconditionally from those who do care about him and as an adult, he still has trouble understanding his own feelings. Typically, Ja’far tends to focus more on his work than any kind of romantic pursuit. While he’s capable of feeling love and romance, he hasn’t yet and doesn’t pursue the thought of it.

Does your character have a reputation? What is it?

As an assassin, Ja’far had a reputation for being the best Sham Lash had to offer. As it’s youngest chief and biggest accomplishment, he was known for his skill by those aware of his existence. This hold true today as his combat skill is often unmatched. However his more prominent reputation is that of Sindria’s head of parliament and Sinbad’s chief adviser. He’s intelligent, well educated, and a strong political force. Often times, people are only aware of this reputation and mistake him for being just a parliamentary official, they don’t always expect him to be a skilled assassin as well. 

Your character’s greatest victory? Their most bitter defeat?

His greatest victory was the founding of Sindria, the second time. While this wasn’t exactly a battle, he still considers it a victory. There were many forces which tried to stop their group from building a country for themselves and they fought hard to reach their ideals. It’s something he believes in wholeheartedly and Sindria is his proudest accomplishment. His most bitter defeat was loosing Sindria after it’s initial construction as part of Parthevia, when they were destroyed by Judar and the army. It was during this time that Sinbad fell into depravity and loosing Sinbad will always be his greatest fear. 

Their battle style? Are they a pacifist?

Is battle style is dependent on agility and speed. He is more concerned with evasion then defense and uses precise, well practiced strikes. He uses quick movements in order to take down his opponents, employing everything he learned as an assassin. He is not a pacifist and can be quite violent is angered.
