One would be inclined to call him lazy with the smooth, soft way he speaks and the unhurried manner in which he moves. That energy is instead direct to his projects and goals, working intensely and tirelessly when something captures his attention. It is not unheard of for him to seal himself in the palace's lab only to fall into a deep slumber once whatever he was working on is finished. Emotions beyond a friendly tone rarely tint his voice. He is one to insist on solving disputes and arguments at later date when time has passed and the two parties can meet more privately. Aslam is one to dwell on details and the particulars of any situation or conversation. Sometimes his curiosity can bring him to probe uncomfortable or sensitive topics. Underlying all of this is a sleeping beast, a monster to some. Aslam was always protective of his siblings but it only worsened after his mother died and the incident regarding his last love. He keeps a diligent watch over all of his siblings and more than once taking care of troublesome people that stood against them. To a degree, he eagerly awaits those who try to stand against his family just so he can put them in their place. It is for this reason he has a noticeable obsession with poisons and ingredients that cause a variety of maladies. Main Ambition The Elixir of Life. A fantastical legend about a miracle potion that can cure any disease...or revive the dead. Aslam passionate research of alchemy is in pursuit of this elusive and mythical concoction throwing whatever resources he has when a lead comes up. This is all for the purpose of of keeping his family and close friends alive throughout the turbulent times they find themselves in. Aslam wishes to advances the science of alchemy to the point where magic is viewed as antiquated and irrelevant. This, along with his drive to protect his family, stirs him to act behind the scenes in most regards to the running of his kingdom. Magic shall and will be obsolete if Aslam's ambitions are met. |
| Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Skills | ✦ Martial Arts ✦ Alchemy ✦ Medicine ✦ Singing ✦ Tactics/Strategy ✦ Subterfuge ✦ Quick-thinking ✦ Controlling own emotions ✦ Research and Development The first son of the Sultan was a joyous occassion and he may have been just as spoiled and entitled as his older sister if not for her influence. Aslam found his older sister to be highly amusing and often worked behind her back to create situations that both reinforced and challenged her believed superiority. However, it did dissuade him from acting similar and inspire the curious mind that would dominate his actions and personality going forward. Aslam became the ideal prince of the kingdom if only for his own sake and amusement, blending pride and humility into his interactions with the citizens. His knack for observation and study allowed him to navigate social events deftly while remaining aloof enough to cause others to underestimate his ambition. He breezed through his various tutors' instructions and soon found himself diving into indecent study and research. His first foray into the world of Alchemy sparked something within him. A drive to see just where it could go and take him. Untraceable poisons, remedies for all ailments...the promise of such wonderful concoctions drew his complete devotion and love. That was until one day wandering the various market stalls of a bazaar within the royal capital that he met her. She was not from any noble house he could extract from her nor was she the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Yet, she possessed a mind that seemed to rival his own and he found himself talking late into the night with her that day they met. With a promise to talk more, Aslam found himself sneaking to that market over and over just to spend time with her and discuss a variety of subjects they were passionate about at the time. It was not long that this budding friendship sprouted into something much more. He more than once gushed about his new flame to his closer siblings, rarely ever speaking of her appearance. What she had failed to mention to him was her involvement with the darker side of Alidasht. Aslam would later find out that she was responsible for creation of many poisons and drugs that filtered through the underworld. She might have saw a way out with Aslam as she began to distance herself from that life without his knowledge. It had just been another day slipping out of the palace to see her when she first went missing. Aslam had brushed it off as something that came up and needed her attention. His view and attitude shifted quickly once a couple days had passed without being able to spot her once. Aslam wasted no time going towards her home, where they had spent intimate moments together. There he found her sliced open, let to rot, nails split with her struggle. He was distant and cold for many months after that gruesome discovery, locking himself in his study or room for most of the day. During that same periods, a notorious organization was picked apart with numerous raids and busts. What made the inquisition of the group strange was the majority of leaders were either found dead or perish shortly after being sentenced. Aslam ended up with a overwhelming fear of the unknown as a result. Mysteries became obsessions. Questions always demanded answers. This developed into his own personal network of spies and informants, centered around his family and close friends. The death of their mother hit him especially hard and its mystery is one that haunts him to this day. An adjoining room of his personal chambers is cluttered with documents and rambling notes all concerning her death. Time has blunted his obsession but he is forever on the lookout for the missing piece that will point him in the right direction. For now, Aslam does his best to balance his obligations as a prince with his pursuit of knowledge and enjoying what time he can with his beloved siblings.
