Ashyn Haern

History Abridged
Ashyn was born to her two parents in your average human village of Cromwell's Trading Post in 603 K.C. ... Perhaps "Village" is too generous; It was a trading shack, and some makeshift tents out in the thick of the Stranglethorn jungle. Her parents - Walter Haern and Karrin Haern - were of the drifter type, ensuring that Ashyn "Ash" Haern never had a stable, routine life. Don't get me started on the physcological issues caused by that. Just don't. Anyways! Fastforward through ninteen years of constant moving, no friends, distant parents, and generally instability, and you get near-present-day Ash. Leaving home after finally being unable to contend with the constant instability, Ash went out into the world to become a great hero who saved humanity for giant, evil Old Gods Except that never happened. Instead, Ash soon wound up another poor beggar on the streets, conned out of her money through various meanings. Fastfoward two more years, and beggar Ash had become thug-for-hire Ash after having disappeared for more than a year and a half. No one really knows what she was doing for that year and a half. Probably sleeping, if you ask the old narrator over here. Anyways, once again! Soon hiring herself out to the  |Duchy of Faircrown, Ash spent the year 624 K.C. generally having good times, making money, and actually living in a house. The stable, easy-going lifestyle helped her physcological problems to! I did mention those, right? Anyways! The Duchy soon fell to in-fighting between the Duke and the Duchess, and Ashyn bid her adieu. By then, it was the dawn of the year 625 K.C., and the newly dubbed Mercenary went out with a swagger to a small town called Steamshadow...
