Name: Silk Asu
Nickname/Alias: Answers to "Silky" by close friends or Free Company members. Age: 22 years old. Gender: Female. Height: 4 feet, 11 inches. Weight: 105 pounds. Race: Miquo'te - Seeker of the Sun Organization: Belongs to Free Company called Lunar Crew. Rank: Captain. Orientation: Pansexual. Alignment: Chaotic Good. Appearance Physical Description: Standing just barely under five feet tall, Silk is a petite Miquo'te - however she does have muscle built up from several years of fighting Eorzea's many aggressive creatures. Lithe and athletic, her movement is like that of a cat, smooth and careful - that is, until she trips over something or stumbles in a pair of heels (although graceful, there are times she is very clumsy as well). Her skin is a pale ivory, brown freckles dancing across her nose and along her cheeks, highlighting the natural striped markings female Miquo'tes sported upon their cheeks. Silk wears her platinum blonde hair short, chin length and braided along the top of her head; Pale pink highlights the tips of her hair, something she'd been born with naturally. Having heterochromia, Silk's eyes are unique compared to most - her right eye is a pale pink and her left eye is a leaf green - another trait inherited from her parents. Clothing: Silk takes great pride in her sense of fashion and proudly has an outfit for every occasion. Most often she can be seen wearing a long pale pink dress of eastern origin, or her favorite pair of black shorts with a black striped top. When out adventuring, Silk typically wears a long pink coat and a sturdy pair of boots. Most of Silk;s wardrobe is indeed her favorite color, pale pink. Accessories: Always on her body somewhere Silk carries three to four essential items. The first two most important things are her divining deck and astroglobe - without these she would not be able to call upon the energy of the stars and would be essentially useless in battle. The third thing she always carries is a sharp knife strapped around her left thigh - hidden out of sight on purpose. Finally, in case Silk is ever traveling she brings her "Adventure Pack," which includes things like a bed roll, dried foods, a tinder box, rope, and other essentials when traveling. Picture: Personality Silk is very strong-headed and has a voice that significantly changes pitch depending on her mood. She is often exuberant and full of energy, always looking for the next adventure. Known to never surrender and is fearless. Silk is honorable, loyal, and protective of those she cares for, however she sometimes struggles with jealousy and attachment issues. Can often be too hard on herself and critical of her actions and words. History My name was once Silk Shesyi but I left that surname behind when I chose to leave the outer forests of Gridania. I picked up the name Asu because it means astro, which has always been very important to me; The love of the universe, the stars, and divining has always been something I've been passionate about. Although at times I miss the forest I simply couldn't stay any longer due to the Empire's interference, but also because the world outside of the forests of Gridania has always called to me. I still have fond memories of spring days back home - the scents of primrose and plumeria mixing together in pleasant harmony. Unfortunately I never got along well with the rest of my Clan - many of them do not possess good morals and despite my many attempts to make friends, I always felt out of place. From an early age I began to experience vivid dreams which soon became clear were actually dreams of foresight. Dreams of being alienated from my clan, staring at the stars, and sleeping in the forest - all things that came true. While my Clan was often barbarous I remained considerate and protective to those I encountered. Still, no one seemed to take much notice of me despite my cordial and even outgoing demeanor. The only friend I've ever known is a Lalafell whose carefree nature has always brightened my darkest days. I met Emil Raemil under unexpected circumstances during a visit from his goldsmith merchant family. From the cover of a tree I watched as a member of my Clan stole valuable cargo from the merchant's caravan. Although I did not want to approach this Clan member that I knew to be particularly nasty, I knew she had to be stopped. It wasn't right to steal from this family. Without hesitation I followed her, quickly retrieved the stolen cargo without much struggle, and quickly returned it to the merchant's son who was incredibly grateful and enthusiastic about the return of the stolen box. At times my ability to go unnoticed came in handy when I didn't want much to do with the rest of the Clan anyway, as they were always too haughty for my liking. I soon found myself often wandering the forests at a young age and at times would stay overnight under a canopy of trees, simply watching the stars above me, pondering their meaning. It was around this time that I dreamed of an old man dressed in elegant robes, a deck of cards strapped to his waist. Uncertain, I continued my forest escapades and put the dream in the back of my mind. I have always been fascinated with the stars and the magic behind them, but I never would have imagined that I would one day meet that old astrologist whom I dreamed of. Amazingly, for whatever reason the astrologian decided to take me in; Perhaps he felt bad for the young miqo'te who was clearly malnourished and alone. I was only nine years old when Oberon first discovered me. As the years went by and he began to teach me the secrets of astromancy I became proficient at identifying stars and their meanings, and my foresight continued to develop the more I studied. When I turned 13 Oberon gifted me my first divining deck of 60 arcana cards so that I might continue to improve my astromancy and understanding of the stars above. In addition to the deck, he also gave me my first astroglobe - a small, elegant, yet powerful tool used to locate and draw down energy from the stars. Ever since then I've been dedicated to becoming a skilled astrologian and hope to help and heal others where ever possible. When I turned 20 years old the Garlean Empire finally came to our forest. Oberon and I knew the time had come for me to leave. During the initial chaos of their arrival I quickly gathered my divining deck and astroglobe - my most precious possessions - and left the forest. I will always hate the Empire, but their arrival pushed me into doing something I always wanted to do anyway; Leave the forest to explore the true meaning behind the stars, help others, and become a free-roaming adventurer. Sixth months into traveling, I met the leader of a Free Company that happened to see me fighting off wild Morbols in the South Shroud. Impressed with my ability to defeat the creatures, she recruited me to the Company and before I knew it I had a place that was more like any home I had ever known. Each member of the company I met was incredibly kind and welcoming - always willing to offer advice or just sit down and share a drink when needed. Over the next two years I continuously went on missions for the Company and slowly moved up the ranks until one day I found herself a Captain of the Free Company. My foresight never warned me that I would rise through the ranks and I often feel I'm not cut out for the job, but I love the Company and want nothing more than to do whatever I can to improve it.

Brave Galaxy is set in a world loosely based on Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero. It is a PG-13 or so rated space fantasy RP, and uses a combination of character statistics, which can be acquired via roleplaying and events, and creative freedom to help direct players’ characters. While there is a main storyline, which can be found in the events section, characters are free to interact with others and their environment however they see fit.
