Equipment

Crafted from a mix of obsidian and steel, Ashtan's blade is a sword meant for slashing, but can perform thrusting attacks as well. The slight cross hilt and leather grip, is crafted to stop the wielders hand from slipping and provides protection from enemies blades. Ashtan's blade is well suited for his style, a style of parrying, often guiding his opponents blade away or allowing them to slide rather then stopping it completely, followed by quick and precise cuts and thrusts. Ashtan prefers to ignore flashy finishers, instead targeting the vital points and quickly moving on to the next target leaving his foe to bleed to death. It was this style that has earned him the title of Shadowed Storm.

History

Ashtan was born and raised in a small village in Gechutez. Raised solely by his mother, Ashtan led a complicated life filled with poverty and complications. He at first was an always trusting person and would often wander around the village assisting others when he could, the villagers, always gracious helped his family whenever they needed it and so began an unspoken pact between the Veritas family and the village. As Ashtan grew older, he soon discovered a talent for cooking and after talking it out with his mother, whom was a seamstress at the time, He apprenticed himself to the local inn as a cook and performed splendidly often crafting meals of impeccable taste and flavor. The next five years would prove to be momentous, Life bustled, the village grew popular thanks to Ashtan's cooking and the discovery of a natural bridge between town major coastal cities. Life was peaceful to all until bandits, discovering the growing riches of Ashtan's village, struck looting and burning all but the Veritas's house. Day's later is was revealed that the leader of the attack was very much so Ashtan's father. The village, angered by the discovery took a vow of silence against the two and Ashtan and his mother fell into the throes of absolute poverty.

Ashtan was desperate, after a year of trying to make ends meet and fix their relationship with the village he finally left with nothing but a small canteen of water and a hunting knife given to him by his mother. His mother was left alone for two weeks and grieved for the apparent departure and seeming abandonment of her child, Ashtan returned soon afterwards bearing an abundance of food and gifts which he explained he had taken back from his fathers gang. The village and Ashtan finally broken the haunting silence and for the first time they welcomed him with open arms. Almost all the gifts Ashtan gave to the village except for the sword, he kept it and in his spare time began to train extensively with it. At the age of 18, three years from Ashtan's redemption, the village was besieged by the same bandits that had previously attacked them. Ashtan using the natural bridge the outlaws would cross and the sword he stole from them earlier, endured heavy wounds as he held them off until the Gechutez military arrived on scene. Together they exterminated the bandits and with it Ashtan's father, killed by the very sword that was stolen from him.

The Village hailed him as a hero, the patrol impressed by Ashtan's skill with a blade offered him an officers position in their military, which Ashtan politely refused. Acknowledging his refusal the Patrol then asked for his blade, claiming that only officers were worthy to hold them, stung by the sudden turn of emotion the young warrior refused, the patrol attacked and Ashtan, despite his extraordinary skill with the blade, could do nothing but run from the battle-hardened warriors. The government branded him an outlaw, under the crime of murdering an officer (Whom he killed in self-defense) and theft of a sword. Ashtan made his way to the borders where he discovered a retired assassin. He and the assassin fought a hard battle, Ashtan's rough youth and self taught style clashed with the assassin, a man called Tribe, and his experience and knowledge of human physics.

Ashtan lost, but Tribe, feeling an innocent air about the young outlaw, decided to listen to his story before his decision to kill him. Ashtan explained his situation with the government and his intent to escape the country as well as his past life among his village. Tribe realizing the truth formally took him in and promptly began teaching him Human physiology as well as sparring in order to hone the young outlaw's technique. His constant motto was to "keep moving, and hit only when certain", and Ashtan soon incorporated the words into his sword style. Finally after 2 years Ashtan requested a final duel with his master. They fought, and tied, and nodding his approval Tribe spoke of a young group looking for recruits near the Gechutez border. Maybe there, could the warrior find a way to return to his village. Ashtan said his last goodbyes to his former master and set off to join the Templars of Steel in their quest.

So begins...
