RP Hooks ––– –^{ASHEN MERCENARY}Ash is an experienced mercenary with decades of experience in combat, having weathered all sorts of harsh conditions and having defeated all manner of foes- from men and beasts to dragons and voidsent. Whatever the job, Ash will see it done- provided you’ve the coin to spare.- ––– –^{BLUE OF EYE, BLUE OF BLOOD}Ash is the eldest child and only daughter of a minor noble house of Ishgard, House Leceux. For many years, Ash served as a temple knight, climbing the ranks and eventually becoming a member of the Order of Knights Dragoon. She was once a loyal, faithful Ishgardian soldier, proud to defend her homeland and fought fiercely against the heretics and the Dravanian Horde.However, after a skirmish gone awry, she bore witness to the corruption festering beneath the surface. As a result, her faith in the Ishgardian society and church was broken, growing ever weaker day by day. Eventually, her implication in the murder of an inquisitor led to her fleeing the Holy See, choosing exile instead of facing justice. In subsequent -albeit short-lived- hunts to bring her in, her brutality came to earn her the title of ‘dread knight’. Whispered rumours of an entire squadron of temple knights meeting their end at the tip of her blade float between her countrymen even to this day- though, it's often treated as nothing more than a scary story to tell around the campfire, more urban legend than fact.Nowadays, she avoids setting foot on Coerthan soil for fear of being recognized.- ––– –^{OF THE SWIRLING ABYSS}Ash has no shortage of enemies, both on the Ishgardian and heretic sides. Having refused to pick one or the other, she became a nuisance for both fronts of the war. However, she is no innocent either- having nursed years, even decades long grudges against specific temple knights, inquisitors, and heretic leaders alike. With Halone as her witness, she will deliver justice and carve her pound of flesh from these monsters in human skin, no matter the cost.- ––– –^{LONE WOLF}For many years, Ash has been wandering the land alone, having her own back and not letting anyone in too close. She feels like people get hurt if she lingers around them for too long, thinking keeping away is the best option for everyone involved. However, she still yearns for companionship despite everything, though she is awful at allowing herself to express this yearning.- ––– –^{BEARER OF THE FLAME}Ash feels a peculiar connection to dragonkin, one bordering on kinship. She often dreams of fire, of hearing the dragonsong, of grand, blackened wings tearing out of her back and of soaring in the heavens. So, she studies dragons, keeps a small collection of their remains -scales, blood, teeth, other bits and bobs-, reads heretic manifestos wherever she finds them. An interest stemming from curiosity, out of wanting to study them, of a desire to slay dragons and dispatch heretics more efficiently- is what she would say to strangers, if questioned.If you have information about any wickedly cunning, large, black dragons, particularly ones hailing from Nidhogg's brood... Ash may be interested.
