background;

childhood; as a kid, asita was always very absorbed in his schoolwork, quiet and serious. he did interact with the other kids, but really wasn't the type to get very outgoing. he was more likely to be found writing things, often nonsensical or with little stories. spy stories always managed to captivate him the most--he fixated on the people able to sneak into places, assume new identities, and find out information.
teen years; the heavy focus on schoolwork began slipping a bit, as asita began struggling with his identity and finding a job and trying to get everything sorted out. he also forgot the fantasies of his childhood, not believing himself capable of doing as much as he would like to do. as asita began looking at the possibility of careers, he was rather interested in the prospect of becoming president. of course, that didn't work out, so asita decided upon astronaut. he kept settling upon outlandish career after outlandish career, until finally just giving up, and joining the navy.

personality;

traits; asita is an almost continuously grumpy being, who would really rather just stay at home in his quirky tendencies. it's a lot easier for him to follow through on all his little superstitions that he holds. it takes a fair amount of dedication to coax him out of his shell, but he is rather loyal once you've convinced him. while he still maintains his grumpy outer layer, he'll also slowly start to show you his hobbies and such--for example, his social media pages.
flaws; asita isn't as trusting as people would like him to be. in the current dating world, he's too slow to open up to go with the flow the way everybody else does.
strengths; despite his reservations, asita is quite street smart.

miscellaneous

aspirations; asita wants to have a more widespread audience than his current spread. despite his self-enforced loneliness, he does crave attention and compliments and affection from others.
pet peeves; asita absolutely despises listening to people chew.
hobbies; besides his occupation, asita loves tending to a tiny little garden and just nurturing it well. it's the only collection of living beings that he trusts himself to actually take care of (he doesn't trust himself enough to take care of... much else, really). he does have an instagram page for his little plants (and an etsy shop to sell tiny arrangements).

physical;

flaws;
strengths; asita is decently physically fit, from his time in the military. he doesn't spend a whole lot of time focusing on his physical upkeep, but he does have a short morning routine that he does as part of his superstitions (he's almost afraid of dying if he becomes too unfit).
voice; deep, slow, calm. think almost morgan freeman. his voice is relaxing to listen to and reassuring to people, but he doesn't see the appeal, as
eyes; black sclera, irises fading red to blue, his eyes are actually pretty decent. when he was in the military, they did improve his eyesight with surgery, so he's got a sort of a boost above normal eyes.
scars;
general health; asita is not one to be sick often. he does fall prey to the common cold every once in a while, but who can say they don't?
energy; asita prides himself on his lack of addiction to coffee. he doesn't often resort to any forms of artificial energy, which is something his wallet thanks him for.
memory; he has a sharp memory--however, he does have memory gaps that he isn't sure about. these are often memories he's suppressed rather than outright unintentionally forgotten.
allergies; only to various bugs (not including bees, fortunately). this does extend to bugs such as mosquitoes, dust mites, cockroaches, etc.
style/dress/grooming; a flannel and plaid addict, sita often wears things intended to be comfortable for him to wear. of course, this often also ends up looking like an attempt to be "hip" as well. unfortunately, despite how much time he spends on instagram, he still doesn't know about this aesthetic and continues being confused when people ask if he's a hipster.

in the navy;

his time in the navy is not something asita often talks about. he just wants it through and done, far far behind him. however, if one manages to access his medical record, they paint a record of harassment, injuries from the front lines, and all the mental health repercussions one can unfortunately expect with an experience like that.
that's also where the glowing came from. whatever it is that left asita the way he is now, it also did a number and left him with glowing hands. he hates it, as it's sort of goopy sometimes (it doesn't seem to have a definite state of matter it stays in, and it varies from being simply light to being liquidy glow oozing from his pores), and can get everywhere.
his worst time in the military was spent actively working against pirates in all ways possible. it's rumored that's where the goopy glow came from.

occupation;

calligraphist; after his retirement from the navy, asita took up calligraphy. he can spend hours practicing his handwriting and cursive and such, just intently focused on this. he videos some of them, posts them on one of his instagram pages. he really loves everything related to his work, ranging from paper to pens to ink to ink blotting paper. while he avoids it like the plague when his glowing is at its worst liquid states, he really does use it as a way to relax and calm down.

his superstitions;

explanation; asita has what he refers to as "superstitions"--compulsive behaviors he engages in frequently. these include many little habits he he feels he has to engage in. they really bother him when he doesn't engage in them or if he fails to avoid something. he figures he's just incredibly superstitious, but there may be an underlying issue. his calligraphy is affected by these, but is often used as a coping mechanism. this explains the ink everywhere on him--never splattered, always written in a glistening gold and in beautiful letters. it's nonsense, really, it means nothing when you read it. but to him, the feeling of the glib against his skin is incredibly soothing.
capitalized letters; asita can't stand writing any capital letters. he just can't. it's been a problem since childhood, and he used to always get in trouble for never writing capital letters but teachers never could convince him to do it. this applies to all of his writing, including online. all of his instagram pages and etsy shops are devoid of the cursed capital letters. he was never able to explain the convulsions that ran down from his spine to his hand, often prompting him to drop the pen or something like that. it's just been something that he's had to get used to over the years.
pen colors; he can only use 'cold' colors of ink. this means blue, purple, green, black, silver, grey, brown, copper, some golds. nothing bright and flashy [unless it's some hue of the above colors]. this is a color related 'superstition', of sorts.
getting up on the right side of the bed; this is a literal thing for him. he had to move his whole room around so that he could get up on the right side of the bed. he can't stay anywhere that'll force him to arise on the left side of the bed, because it's really distressing to him. he literally can't move from the bed.
pen hoard sorted by rainbow and thickness; his pens are all meticulously sorted, first by thick to thin (so, by ink flow) and then by color. it has to be that way, or he can barely pick pens up without tremors going down his arm the way they do with capital letters.
