Personality
Asher is someone who is very carefree and adventurous, as he is not one to be shackled by duty and family opinion. Long ago, his father had already given up in trying to train him in the ways of the family, as he proved to be too rebellious and too free thinking to be shackled down by such ideas. However, in the end, he still managed to learn through his constant curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Speaking of knowledge, he is one to desire to know many things, driving him to lengths that often are threatening to his well being or threatening to his companions. This is also an example of his greed, as he has a desire for money and knowledge, two aspects of life that drives him to ends that may never be seemingly satisfied. He also despises notoriety, preferring to assert a sense of enigmatic aura on himself in order to attain curiosity and to keep hidden the vast capabilities that which he carries.
Biography & Lore
The boy to be known as Asher was born in Vel Anir, to Lady Helena Tullius and Sir Alexander Aramastus Bal, one being a beautiful elvish noblewoman and the other, a wealthy and handsome warrior, turned banker, once the previous head of the Bals had become deceased. Despite an upbringing that was supposed to be lived with comfort and wealth, Asher grew up to look forward and accomplish many things on his own. At the age of six, he had already possessed the ability of reading and thought, receiving formal training in the art known as “Blademastering“. This specific art, favors light-footed movement, extreme maneuverability, and deadly piercing and slashing attacks, capable of rending the opponent within mere seconds. This type of art sacrifices heavy protection for speed and mobility, allowing a capability to dish out critical and precise strikes to opponents.
At the age of fourteen, he became dissatisfied as he had no longer anything else to learn in the arts and decided that he must set out and see the world for himself, should he wish to attain more knowledge and more experience in worldly realism. His parents could not stop him, as once he had made up his mind on something, he will do what he has to in order to achieve that, a show of stubbornness that would either prove to be a weakness or an advantage, however one is more inclined to think the former. He would spend the next decade and a quarter, finally returning home at the age of twenty and six. During his travels he has mastered the artform of Blademaster, becoming a sellsword for funds, and occasionally serving as a Shadow-Blade, an art of deadliness that performs in the cover of shadows, a profession that he excelled in due to his mastery and acquisition of the Flame magic known as Hellfire, the way in which he still refuses to share to anyone, giving the impression that he is the only one who knows and utilizes such magic, presumably learned through relics in his journeys.
Upon his return, he was welcomed back with open arms, especially by his mother as she missed him very much...Despite his great feats of combat and strategic prowess, the name of “The Demon” gained much notoriety, however the name of “Asher” remained hidden in the darkness, where he preferred it to be. He spends the next two years of his life to the art of knowledge and administration as well as command, his curiosity finishing the job that his father had started, and only time will tell, how the young banker of Vel Anir will fare in the climate that was the world of conflicting creatures…
