A Fae'Rhal who takes the time to study one or more of these displines is a valuable asset to their clan, and often of revered status.
Wealth: 4
CHALLENGES
-Looking Non-Human (-2; has a fox tail, no body hair outside the head, tail, and eyebrows, and produces excessive earwax.)
-Psychological (-3; Compulsion to be armed at all times. Ash shares her species' love/obsession with weapons and arms of all kind, as well as the desire to be armed at all times.)
-Psychological (-2; moderate pride. Ash is damn good at what she does, and she knows it. She prides herself on being the best weaponsmith she ever met, and plans to keep bettering herself more and more, and more after that, in order to be remembered as the best weaponsmith in existence.)
-Psychological (-1; flirty and tough-as-nails facade. Ash tries to appear as badass and playfully seductive as she can be because that's what passed as 'tough' for a woman in her native clan. However, since falling in love with James Howlet, she has begun showing her real self more often.)
-Psychological (-2; battlethirst. Like most Fae'Rhals, Ash loves a good scrap, and will eagerly get in a fight when necessary. She is not foolish enough to start unecessary fights, however, but she does enjoy necessary ones aplenty.)
-Code of honor (-3; Ash is a strong believer in Fae'Rhal traditions and beliefs, acting accordingly to their values and views of what actually makes up 'honor'. She all but worships weapons, battle, her clan, and so on. She fights honorably, doesn't cheat, lie, keeps her word, and respects strong and similarly honorable opponents. Additionally, she has a unique understanding of weapons and weapons users. She will favor making a weapon for one who truly respects her masterpieces over a wealthy person who just sees her weapons as tools.)
-Love (-2; towards James Howlet, her new 'husband'.)
-Duty (-3; towards the Fayes clan and their allies.)
-Obsession (-4; become the best damn weaponsmith that ever live and build the best sword, best handgun, best spear, best armor, best... essentially everything that was ever made.)
-Inhuman appetite (-2; like all Fae'Rhals, Ash has a massive appetite, and a tendency to eat like a wild, famished beast even when the food is cooked.)
-Minority (-1; Ash is openly bisexual, absolutely unafraid to display her interest in both men and women alike as the situations arise.)
-Addiction (-2; moderate smoking and alcoholism. In an attempt to appear tougher than she actually was in her younger days, Ash began smoking and drinking. She never really stopped, although she mostly does so out of habit and due to the addiction nowadays, since she is truly tough as heck now. Incredibly enough, no matter how drunk she gets, her skill with weaponsmithing simply are not diminished. She could be near passed out in a state of heavy alcoholic intoxication and still craft a flawless sword.)
-Kink (-1; unlike most Fae'Rhals, Ash finds her tail being caressed highly pleasurable. She absolutely loves it, and feels heavily embarrassed by said enjoyment, and as such tends to be careful who she allows to come to know this.)
-Famous/Infamous (-2; Ash has a rather unusual reputation. She is known as one of the best damn weaponsmith even among other Fae'Rhal clans, as well as an excellent fighter... but she is also known as a drunk who could punch a skull in with her bare hands when pissed off. While her reputation's more positive aspects are more or less true, her tendency to get drunk and her implied aggressive nature are exaggerrated. In truth, while she could indeed crush a skull with a punch, she does not wish to do so more than any other Fae'Rhal, and while she does get drunk once in a while, she's not ALWAYS drunk, nor is she usually that drunk when she is.)
EQUIPMENT
-Currently worn: Blue blouse, black pants and a pair of black flats
-Pack of Cigarettes
-Zippo Lighter
RESERVE EQUIPMENT (Kept at the Forge/in her quarters)
-Weaponsmith Apron (+2; while it's officially called an 'apron', this uniform actually includes a tunic, pants, and jacket along with reinforced leather boots, bracers, and the actual apron, with various metallic plates here and there, serving both as work clothes and armor when necessary. Of course, if she so wills it, Ash can make herself better armor in due time.)
-Ash's Hammer (A custom war/crafting hammer used both in battle and for her craft. Acts as a +4, 2x damage weapon, meant mostly for crushing enemies and beating metal into shape.)
-Boxes of Liquor
-Packs of cigarettes
-Multiple dresses, skirts, blouses, high heels, flats, sandals, kimonos, kimono-gowns, nightgowns, swimwear, and a few pairs of pants and shorts with more sensible footwear.
______________________________________________________________
STORY: Ashley Fayes III, also known as Ashley the 3rd, Ash, or Blacksmith Ash (or even Ashes to Ashes in some circles), the beauteous auburn-haired Fae'Rhal of the Fayes clan comes from a family of craftsmen, specifically Weaponsmith - expert craftsmen specialized in making any weapons or other wargear - since the last two generations. A single child, she took up the hammer as soon as she was of age, eager to prove herself to be more than a simple pretty girl... and soon enough showing quite a bit of potential at it. In fact, she was quite the prodigy child, crafting blades and guns of similar quality to those of her father's before she reached adulthood, and far surpassing him since. While not as good a warrior as many of her fellow clan members, Ash has become ridiculously strong over the years, proving herself to be able to bend metal, uproot trees and break concrete with her bare hands with ease. She wields a huge hammer in both her work and in battle as though it weighs nothing, and has earned a reputation as one of the best weaponsmiths among the clans as well as one hell of a brawler.
However, she also earned a reputation as being a hopeless alcoholic with violent tendencies. Actually, the truth is... she's not THAT bad, but, yes, she does get drunk at times. Still, no one can find fault in her work even when she barely can stand, and she doesn't get drunk nearly as often as the rumors make her out to be. As for fighting... while she absolutely loves getting into fights, she doesn't provoke people into useless fights either.
The truth is... beneath all her tough-as-nails and playfully flirty demeanor hides a rather shy, romantic and feminine nature which she has repressed over the years due to those traits not being valued among her clan. She doesn't know any better and still hides behind her facade to this day. Her goals so far are to better herself more and more as a weaponsmith, and eventually learn all the tricks of her trade in order to make the best damn... every kind of weapon ever.
In the meantime... she keeps craftin'.
