Present Times
What has your character been up to lately?
Ashlyn has recently had to come to terms with the fact that he is expendable to his important family, and as the third child and second son, is not of as much worth as his siblings. He is being offered up as the family's sacrificial goat to the Federation and the good of all, and being sent off to war against the Argons. He has been educated and trained to be a military officer like several of his uncles, cousins and grand-uncles, most of whom are Elven navy officers.
While struggling with his new realization of mortality and worth and deciding he was not really okay with being sent off to die to an unstoppable foe, Ashlyn was inspired by his childhood friend Nimh. When he heard she took a bunch of things and ran off to make a name for herself, he realised what he had to do.
For a while now, the Orb of Lament had been whispering to him, calling him. He stopped ignoring it. He packed what he needed to report to the officer academy in Velika as his parents demanded, and then went to the family temple in Allementheia, and then to the family crypt. He took the Orb of Lament, which sang his praise and begged to be used, and also took the rest of the family's ancient artefacts, the Tome of Loss and the Chalice of Sorrow, and as many of their relics as he could carry on his horse.
A week later, having settled into his brother's fancy villa in Velika and begun his training with the Federation, Ashlyn got a visit from his sister and her soldiers, wanting to know if he knew where Nimh was. Two days later his brother sent a post to let him know he'd be coming for the weekend and to prepare the household to receive him. And then there she was.
Ashlyn decided to help Nimh avoid his elder siblings, who are both looking for her and the money she stole. He has been teaching her how to behave so the other nobles don't look down on her as a country bumpkin, and has since vowed to help her achieve glory, fame, power and wealth.

Other Information
Combat*
What are your character's combat skills? Stats?
Ashlyn is a very skilled archer, having spent most of his life being trained in how to hunt and fight. He took well to the bow early, and by sixteen is renowned amongst the Elves as a young but talented bow master. He can fight with daggers and light swords, and favours an acrobatic and flamboyant elven style no matter which weapon is in his hands. He has been trained how to sail large ships and small boats, and is a very strong swimmer, able to hold his breath four times longer than the average person can. He is a passable and decent rider, of both horse and pegasi, but he is not trained as a cavalry soldier like his older siblings are.
Ashlyn sees dead people. Mostly he hears them. He has inherited the family's ancient powers of lament, sorrow and loss, and can communicate with the dead. His dead ancestors have been trying to act as his guides for years now, but recently he has begun to listen more, as well as to actively seek their advice. He is the wielder of the Orb of Lament, an ancient Elven artefact long entrusted to the Therondhael family and last wielded by Ashlyn's grandfather (who still lives, but hasn't touched the horrid thing in years, keeping it safely on display in the temple). With his ancestors teaching him how to use and control the orb and his powers, Ashlyn is determined to become the greatest Therondhael in history.
