Mental characteristics
Personal history
Qest was born to a High Rostran family of wealthy means on the island of Kalqa in the Rostran Archipelago Confederacy. He took to schooling well and, though his parents initially considered that he was destined for a career in mathematics, pursued education as a historian with dreams of a position at the Exivaun Museum of Rostran History.
This dream was deferred, however, when word of his exceptional talent at the game of Triortian reached the ears of talent scouts from the Manifold Triortan League. Throughout his teens and early twenties, Qest participated in amateur Triortan tournaments as was tradition for the citizens of Kalqa, the island being the birthplace of the game and the place where the House of Games was located. Not only did Qest demonstrate a precocious talent for the game, but the scouts also recognized the potential that a young man so immersed in the history surrounding the sport would have in helping to promulgate the knowledge and culture of Triortan throughout the world.
For his part, Qest was thrilled to recieve support from League trainers and immersed himself in the House of Games' archives, pouring over records of games stretching back to the League's founding in search of better strategies. His rise through the ranks of professional Triortan was inexorable, if not meteoric, and he found himself atop the official rankings by the time of his 32nd birthday.
Employment
Aside from sponsorships and prize winnings, Qest Ausomi recieves a stipend from the Manifold Triortan League in exchange for his services as a coach and a brand ambassador for the game of Triortan - roles the now middle-aged Grandmaster is more than happy to fulfill. Grandmaster Ausomi likes to frame his games in a historical context whenever he talks to the media or gives lectures at educational institutions, turning his prior education as a historian to good use.
Intellectual Characteristics
Grandmaster Ausomi has a calm, patient demeanor that belies a quick wit and incredible faculties of memory. At the table, Qest comes across as though he's patiently explaining something to a student - a trait that sometimes comes across as condescenscion to those who don't know him, but which actually stems from a genuine desire to see fellow players improve. It is also the case that Qest explains himself thusly because, in truth, he's so advanced that most players wouldn't understand where he's going with a strategy unless he actually laid out his reasoning.
