AU Name: Minwu Nasir
AU Birthday: July 29th

AU History: To begin with, Minwu had a fairly unremarkable upbringing, at least relatively speaking. A child in a family of academics is still expected to wind up a scholar eventually, long tradition of being at least somewhat magical or no, and Minwu was of no mind to disappoint.

...Of course, when you have a curious child that surprisingly is equally as fond of the outdoors as staying in with a book and has very little of the common sense he'd grow to have in adulthood, inevitably, a few near-death experiences are bound to happen. After the first incident (a relatively minor thing where he slipped down a hill), he started getting flashes of precognition, almost as if the world trying preventative measures to keep him from pre-emptively biting it.

It only marginally worked until one winter he ignored that feeling at the insistence of several other kids, and he and they fell through the ice they assured him had been thick enough to skate on yesterday. He survived thanks to the ability to breathe underwater kicking in. Everyone else survived as well, if with longer term effects, but the incident taught Minwu two things: 1) that he wants to learn medicine so he can do more in similar situations, and 2) never again ignore the pull of what he came to consider destiny.

Fast forward a decade and change, and Minwu'd managed to gain a healthy amount of common sense, a degree in nursing, minor healing powers after another small series of emergencies, and a reputation for being reliable if a little odd at any place he’s worked. People tend to notice when you’re not super great at hiding the ability to see the future, after all, even if normal folks mostly brush it off. Thanks to a vacancy opening up due to Kaisou High’s last school nurse deciding the unexplained long night was the last straw and a sense that destiny was pulling him in that direction, he has now taken up residence in Kaisou.

AU Personality Differences: - Somewhat amusingly, the echoes of memory from his past life of royals that were actually good people has lead him to lean harder into “eat the rich” than he would have otherwise.
- Understands memes.
- The likelihood of being willing to sacrifice himself for a cause has gone down since he has living family.
- Constantly carries at least a first aid kit with him because his healing powers are weak.
