Azama

A monk of Hoshido with a curious sense of humor. One of Hinoka's retainers.

Azama is known to be the second son of a priest based in an unnamed shrine. Prior to the events of Fates, as a result of his ill behavior, he was forced to ascend a number of mountain ranges, during which he found penance and developed a calm, serene demeanor that is considered befitting of a priest. While meditating on one of these mountains one day, Azama encountered Hinoka, who had been injured due to unknown causes. This prompted him to heal her wounds to the best of his abilities before taking her to safety. Departing immediately after rejecting Hinoka's offer to reward him, Azama left the impression that he was a wise, selfless priest, a fact that later saw her deciding to hire him as one her direct subordinates, though she regretted it soon after.

Azama also possesses a powerful charm that he obtained from a holy deity during one of his meditations, although he is not able to use it for "entirely selfish" purposes.

Despite holding the position of a priest who is expected to represent the values of benevolence and compassion, Azama defies such expectations, as he adopts a demeanor of breezy apathy in his regard of others, heavily employing sardonic wit and dark humor in his speech. Indiscriminate in the disagreeable manner by which he treats people, Azama is known to delight in making biting remarks that induce pronounced discomfort, and even his liege and social superior Hinoka is not spared; through his supports with her, he reveals, albeit rather disturbingly, that her positively charming look of fury and frustration during their first meeting as she fought to preserve her life was what compelled him to rescue her.

Azama occasionally corrects or explains himself while speaking with others, as despite his reputation as a prankster, he actually cares for others as shown throughout his supports.

Azama's sardonicism is deeply steeped in the realm of absurdism, where he airily considers life to be devoid of any meaning or purpose but lives peacefully through it. Apart from him cheerfully remarking that "death comes for everyone" when he defeats an enemy unit.

Taking up the art of meditating as a hobby, Azama enjoys retreating from the company of others and engaging in the act during his free time. Using meditation as a means of escapism to avoid the chaos of warfare, Azama is known to become irritable when he is interrupted in the practice, a fact that surfaces through his supports with Corrin.

Azama is the only member of the whole army that never cries for any reason.

He wears a dark blue inner robe with wide sleeves and a light-colored sleeveless outer vest. His outfit includes six large, dark pom-poms—three on each side—attached to vertical bands on the vest. A lime green ribbon ties around his waist. Over his trousers, he wears a black apron-like panel with tassels and green embroidery. He has large brown prayer beads around each wrist. His loose dark pants are cropped at mid-calf, and wears grey ninja tabi shoes. His eyes generally appear closed.

Azama uses a staff to heal and use minor offensive magic. It is called a Pain staff.

A white and gold handgun-like object, it has the unique ability of summon Heroes from other worlds from it.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
