history:
Here!personality: Yusuf is, first and foremost, a bro. That is to say, he gets along with everyone quite easily and is very open to meeting new people. He is a charming, friendly man who is able to connect with others almost immediately. Yusuf likes to make jokes and poke fun at people. This is part of his charm and a way for others to get more comfortable with him, to trust him easier. He's the type of man that moves in very different circles easily because of his inherent charm and friendliness.
Yusuf is also very affectionate towards both friends and strangers. He is seen in game getting along with and speaking to other Assassins (some of whom are ranked below him) on equal terms. His camaraderie among the Assassins is one of the things that has earned him respect. He isn't one to look down on others on the basis of their rank or actions. When he first meets Ezio in game, he welcomes him as a brother and gives him a playful slap on the shoulders. His openness allows him to make friends and allies from all walks of life easily.
On the surface, Yusuf appears to be carefree with all of his jokes, easy smiles and laughs. During battle he even makes jokes about his enemies and whatever situation he's in at the moment. In reality, he is very dedicated to the cause of the Assassins. He takes his status as a Master Assassin seriously and knows when it's time for business and when it's time for play. He loves the city of Constantinople very much and looks out for its people and their welfare. In his youth, he was a noted vigilante and this has carried over as an Assassin. He knows Istanbul is not perfect, but he loves it dearly. He is loyal to Prince Suleiman, showing that he is capable of having an allegiance to two different causes, as long as they don't conflict.
His skills as a fighter and Assassin earned him loyalty and respect from those around him. He is a capable leader, fighting alongside the recruits and lower-ranked Assassins. Yusuf is also a skilled strategist, having been able to help stop the Venetian-Ottoman war and bring peace to the Ottomans for a brief period of time. He obviously knows the tactics of war well enough to command the Assassins in Constantinople with precision and accuracy. When Yusuf intends to take back or attack the Templar dens, he sends out only as many necessary Assassins needed. He also commands the Assassins when defending their bases, showing that he takes his role as the Grand Master Assassin to heart, even with his light-hearted personality.
He prefers to act on things personally, when he can, or at the very least look over the happenings of Constantinople and the missions of other Assassins. He is very hands-on in this sense in both fighting and teaching. Yusuf personally taught Ezio how to build bombs and use the hookblade upon his arrival. For this, Yusuf is a quick learner and he expects others to be the same. When teaching Ezio the ways of the bombs and the hookblade, he showed him the bare essentials and was already expecting him to have picked up on these techniques quickly.
abilities/powers: Yusuf is a very capable sword fighter and lethal hand-to-hand combat tactics. As an Assassin he is skilled in climbing and free-running. The trademark weapon of the Assassins is the hidden blade, which he also knows how to use, and the modified hookblade of the Constantinople Assassins. The hookblade allows him to slide across ropes easily for faster travel and makes for countering and evading blows in combat easier and more efficient. He knows how to build a wide variety of bombs from many different materials, specifically tactical bombs, diversionary bombs, and lethal bombs.
first person sample:
Have a sample third person sample:
Yusuf had wondered if there was such a thing as an afterlife once or twice. Maybe he has thought about this when he was near-death, or maybe it was during another time entirely. So was he really dead now? This is no Constantinople, that is certain, and he does not know of where to go. He goes one place, and then he finds himself in the same place again hours later, by some strange mystery.
When he had awoken in barely anything, he was, first off, confused, but he had noticed the scar on his back. That was the only reason he knew he was really dead, or had been dead. Very confusing, this entire business of not knowing if you are alive or dead. The little paper on his toe said he was dead, but how could he be dead if he was very clearly breathing, thinking, moving, doing things as a living man should?
He climbed up a few buildings to gain a vantage point, sorely missing his hookblade. Why would anyone who has no knowledge of it take it from him? Or his clothing, for that matter. He frowned at that, not having his own clothing and armor. He missed his bandanna as well. He had already become accustomed to the slight weight and movement of it, so not having it wrapped around his head was... strange. I should find another, of course, he thought.
While Yusuf could overlook the city to some extent, and knew no one was behind, he felt as if he was being followed and watched. The same feeling he knew well back in Constantinople, with the roaming Ottomans lurking in the shadows, dressed as mere citizens, hiding knives. Could this be the same? He wondered if there are men like those Ottomans, hiding and waiting to act, to do something. But what? Not knowing did not still very well with Yusuf.
case no: Any given is fine
