[QUOTE="Urbandruid, post: 2248551, member: 31853"] Asharaak - Hobgoblin Fighter Asharaak has been a mercenary for hire since he left home. He holds himself to the high martial standards of his people but he holds too a strong sense of honor. He dislikes deception and despises those who break their vows. He joined with a mercenary band during the war and fought willingly for whichever side hired them. His loyalty was to the squad and no other. Once given his oath is his bond and will not be broken. Under his oath he will even do such things as he finds foul or wrong. The war was simple. They were assigned to attack or defend an area and did so and then were given money. They were a successful group and made off with such loot that many of the higher command soon were rich. Gold and fine weapons were handed down to the men. But like waking from a fine dream the war was over and the group disbanded. Several of the band, including Asharaak drifted into Sharn. They had each gone their seperate ways since then. It was comforting to Asharaak to know they were there should he need them. It was during this idle time that Asharaak explored the city and spent most of his gains on weapons and armor. He grew familiar with the faces on his streets and friend to many of the families there. He gained steady employment as a bodyguard and spent some of his free time offering basic weapons training to the local youths of his neighborhood - after extracting a solemn promise that they would only use these skills for protection and preservation of life. Also at this time he discovered within him the strange desire that haunts him. Elven women. He was obsessed with their beauty and charming ways. Despite this he had never truly spoken with an elven woman before. Deepset racial tensions urged him towards caution and fear of his own betrayal of his culture kept him away. But the great city of Sharn catered to every whim of every race if there was money to be made. In one of the houses of pleasure he met with a Changeling named Jet who offered to appear as an Elf for him. In that moment he broke faith with his people and with himself. He soon became a steady customer of Jet's and the last of his wealth rapidly dwindled. It was no mere carnal desire for oftentimes they would sit and speak quietly in Elven and pretend as if they were a couple living anywhere in the city together. The hobgoblin warrior had fallen in love with Jet's assumed identity. Asharaak knows that he now lives for a lie and it is slowly eating away at him. He has been forced to carry on this lie to friends and neighbors and it maddens him. Despite his twisted love for her, Asharaak is terrified that someday the Changeling Jet will speak of this to someone and he will be exposed to the mockery of his people. In hopes of putting the struggle behind him he has launched himself out on a new adventure. He has fled the civilization of the great city for the wild adventure of the isles. Asharaak longs for the simplicity and honesty of the war. In battle there was no confusion or distraction. [/QUOTE]
