Racial Description: The Hashari are a sub-group of the tree of Man, but their beginnings are an artificial ones, for they were created many centuries ago by a Wizard seeking to conquer Terreth with an unbeatable army of super soldiers. Thus he landed on a few ragged islands in the southern Hemisphere, the Isles of Hashar, and set to work. He changed the native tribes there, and thus the Hashari were born. Bigger, harder, and tougher than any races they encountered, and with the Wizard's power guiding them, they conquered. And conquered, until they came to the Isle of Denauc, where the Wizard met his doom. With their leader dead, along with many, many of their warriors dead, they fell back to their home islands, and fell to infighting. Thus began the Aeon of Blood. And it still hasn;t stopped. The Isles are a desolate land now, full of warring clans who fight over land, honor, and just to fight. But the times are changing. One of the clans, under a dynamic leader, has begun an industrial revolution after a meeting with some adventurous traders. With new weapons that belch flames and bits of steel called bullets, they are beginning to unify the Isles. This clan, Kerontish, is the one that destroyed Clan Terask for daring to defy their ruler.

Past History
____________________
Varsh was born to Clan Terask, a moderately powerful clan on one of the larger isles of Hashar, Vishar. He was the heir to his father, and thus he raised a warrior. He began his training at age three and didn't stop. At the age of twenty five he went to another Isle of Hashar, Skrael, to fight the Skraelings and become better at combat. The skraelings are massive ant-like creatures that are constantly threatening to overwhelm the small Hashari Clans on the coast, therefore it has become tradition for clans to send their warrior to Skrael to hone their abilities. Varsh spent 5 years there, and his skill made him known as the Red Demon for he would come back drenched in blood, and thats when he tattooed himself with the red swirls of the Blood Dance, an ancient Hashari set of symbols. He became his father's enforcer and chief warrior, fighting in skirmish after skirmish. Until Clan Kerontish came with their fire-sticks and booming iron barrels. There he watched his clan turned to so much useless red meat on the ground, and though he killed many, he was overwhelmed. When he awoke he had been sold into slavery. However, the would be slavers had not reckoned with the strength of a Hashari and thus he escaped. He was on some random island, and that is where he joined the Phoenix's crew as its warrior.
