Captain Yasuo (Odyssey)

Captain Yasuo's History

Yasuo is the captain of the Morning Star and comes from the Odyssey universe. Set in the vastness of the cosmos, each of the champions represent influential individuals of a vast galactic civilization. From the urbanized coreworlds to the outermost edge of the galaxy, adventure awaits! The great Demaxian Empire ignores the objections of the Templar Order and the criminal Syndicate alike in their pursuit of ora—a mysterious golden essence that serves as the lifeblood of all civilization, and promises untold power to those who can wield it for themselves.

Yasuo was born into a life of luxury among the superstructures and gleaming lights of the largest metropolis in the coreworlds. Handsome, talented, and wanting for literally nothing, he loaned out his services as a premier bodyguard of celebrities and imperial dignitaries, spending his nights in a drunken haze as he aimlessly wandered from high-end nightclub to high-end nightclub. He probably would have lived his entire life without a care in the world… had he not been framed for his brother's gruesome murder.

As dozens of Demaxian enforcers and rogue agents closed in on his location, Yasuo picked up a couple of down-and-out lunatics at a local bar, hijacked a ship, and ran.

He's been running ever since. Not bad for a man whose only real problem used to be putting on pants for the day.

Yasuo barely qualifies as a captain, much less a capable human being receptive to the needs of others. But he fights well, and unbeknownst to anyone but Sona, holds the key to avenging his brother, opening the legendary Ora Gate, and saving the universe from destruction. Maybe it's not the destiny he deserves, but it's one that, sooner or later, he'll have to come to terms with.

Perched on his shoulder, meanwhile, is Space Lizard. The crew of the Morning Star hasn't given it a proper name, and probably never will, since it's just some exotic species of reptile stolen from a maximum-security nature reserve, to be flipped for a tidy profit. But it can blow bubbles, and Yasuo secretly loves that.
