About

The son of a poor Lominsan blacksmith, A'shyr is an adventurer with a critical eye on a quest for constant improvement. Though he sometimes comes off as cold and critical, he enjoys the camaraderie of adventuring above all, and cares very deeply for his companions.

Background

A'shyr Tia is a Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun born to a Lominsan blacksmith and his wife. He learned the smithing trade from his father, who had previously left the A tribe to pursue his craft. Inspired his whole life by his father's dedication to his craft, A'shyr strives for excellence in anything he tries with earnest. This drive, paired with a love of the tales of adventure shared by his father's customers, inspired a young A'shyr to pursue the life of an adventurer and treasure hunter. Through his adventures, he hopes to discover new or lost smithing and combat techniques to hone his skills, and to become worthy of remembrance for generations, alongside his friends and colleagues.

Character

As with his crafts, A'shyr is a passionate soul who pours his heart into everything he does with earnest. This extends to friendships, commissions, hunting, and just about any cause he deems truly worthy. He has a very critical eye, capable of seeing both strengths and flaws that others may have missed, in people and techniques as well as steel.However, he is far from perfect. His attitude towards friends and just causes have caused him to be taken advantage of more than once. And while it can be hard to make him angry, he has difficulty letting go of grudges due to his passionate nature. Despite these things, he is a dependable ally through and through, and loyal to a fault.As much as he chases his own goals, he is a deeply caring individual, and consistently places the goals of those he cares about above his own. This, too, has been to his own detriment, but he refuses to do it any other way.Likes: honesty, metalcraft, skill, improvement, learning, adventure, storytelling, strong bonds with others, burgers

Hooks

Blacksmith from Birth
A'shyr was raised in and around his father's smithy. Because of this, he has a strong knowledge of metals and smithing, and often does work as a smith. Does your character need gear forged or repaired? Do they need to consult a smith about an object that they found?

Wanderlust
Though he has since been called back, A'shyr left behind everything he knew to explore the vast world. Have you been to interesting places? Is there anywhere you want to travel?

Unusual Treasure Hunter
A'shyr values treasure highly, but not always for its worth in gil. And as a bit of a sucker for good people, he may help search for things that have little value to others. Is your character searching for something lost or valuable? Even something that might be meaningless to most?

Sympathetic Soul
A'shyr cannot stand unfairness, and will go far out of his way to help others. When he finds a just cause or anyone in need, he will not abandon them. Did you lose your home to the empire? Do you need someone to listen to your story? Do you need assistance in a difficult situation? A'shyr would be hard-pressed not to help.

Adept Hunter
As part of a monster hunting guild, and a treasure hunter before that, A'shyr is experienced at slaying monsters. Though, it seems his skills may extend beyond mere monsters...
