Grey eyes with a determined look. Normally smiling, but takes his cause very seriously. Scar along left temple. Dresses very humbly.</p><p></p><p>Background</p><p></p><p>Asher the Stroller was born a peasant. And, so he was told, he would live and die a peasant as well. Born in the hamlet of Shadytree, he was from the cradle given a steady dose of anti-aristocrat propaganda by the foster father, who was also a peasant, and an embittered one at that. They farmed a tiny, meager patch of hard ground just outside the gates of Shadytree Keep, where the Lord of the town lived.</p><p></p><p>Hunger was no stranger to Asher's family, and his father and he worked long hours, sunup to sundown, in their little patch of ground, trying to scratch out a living. When the crops failed, the ground dried, or a blight struck, Asher's foster father blamed the Lord of the town. Aristocrats, he said, were the root of all evil.</p><p></p><p>Despite this, however, there were some days that Asher had a few minutes to himself, and so he would spend them in the forest nearby Shadytree. He grew to be a veritable adept at walking unseen and treading unheard in the woods. Some days he would stalk small creatures and kill them with thrown rocks, taking them home to add to his family's stewpot. His father, seeing his success as a hunter, taught him the art of woodwork, and Asher carved a bow for himself. </p><p></p><p>He began hunting larger game with his new bow, bringing down birds in flight and deer on the run. One day he was tracking an especially large deer when he met an elf in the woods. She told him that they shared something - a father. She was his elven half-sister, Aramae, a seeress and a mage. She helped him to provide for his family. </p><p></p><p>One day, she told him that she had had a vision. She said that in her dream, the people - the despised common folk - rose up from their fields and smithies and mud farms and overthrew the aristocracy. They deposed the grand lords and kings and mages and ruled themselves with Liberty and Equality and Fraternity. Asher was dumbstruck. He had found his calling! He would gather the common people to him, and he would overthrow the hated upper class. he would usher in the reign of Liberty and Equality and Fraternity. </p><p></p><p>To remind himself of his newfound crusade, he christened his longbow Equality. And when he had gotten home, he told his parents with fire in his eyes, of his purpose in life. His foster father was frightened. Life and age had dulled the idealism in him, and he knew what happened to peasants like his son that revolted - and also what happened to their families. He tried desparately to dissuade Asher from his fatal course, but all for naught.</p><p></p><p>Asher talked to the other young peasants in Shadytree of his idea. Most of them laughed him away. Nearly all were too busy just living to join his crusade - besides, they were not about to risk the wrath of the Lord of the town. But Asher was a charismatic young man. He pursuaded one other to help him - an orphan boy named Rilaine. Secretly they plotted various grandiose schemes - they would break into the Lord's mansion and kill him, then free the town. They would rob the Lord's coffers in secret and make the commonfolk rich. They would arm the commonfolk and form an army of freemen and freewomen. But it was all for naught.</p><p></p><p>For no one can scheme for long in a small town before everyone knows of it. The same thing happened with this town. The Lord soon learned of the plots of Asher and Rilaine, and decided to make an example of Asher. A contingent of soldiers marched up to Asher's hovel. Asher's foster father, realizing what the guards wanted (his foster son), gave in to his hatred of aristocrats, and the Lord of the town in particular, and attacked the guards with a scythe. He was summarily spitted on a spear, and soldiers set fire to Asher's hovel, burning down to nothing but ash and memories. Fortunately, Asher's mother had slipped out the back while Asher's foster father was dying, and so escaped to the Elves.</p><p></p><p>Asher and Rilaine returned from their hunt to a horrible scene. The body of Asher's beloved foster father lay on the ground in his own blood, spitted like a hog, and the hovel was burned to the ground. Aramae, who had been sent out by her father, found her half-brother and told him what happened. </p><p></p><p>Asher buried his foster father in their little patch of farmland, choked with grief and guilt.</p><p></p><p>"I...I'm sorry father...I should never have brought this upon you...."</p><p></p><p>Then he said goodbye to his mother, shouldered his bow, and walked out of the hamlet of Shadytree, shking his fist at the hateful mansion of the Lord.</p><p></p><p>"By all the Gods," he cried aloud. "I shall return someday! And the free folk of Faerun shall unite, and I shall bring a terrible sharp reckoning to you, m'lord!"</p><p></p><p>Rilaine went with him, and so did Aramae. For a long while now they wandered Faerun, adventuring here and there, and always spreading the word to the commonfolk: "Have hope! The time is coming when you will cast off your chains and dance in the halls of your oppressors!" Asher acquired a wondrous magical sword, which he named Liberty. And he acquired also a shield of excellent worksmanship, which he named Fraternity. Although he still only has one follower, he hasn't lost hope yet, and firmly believes that Aramae's vision will come to pass.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>There is my revised char for all to see </p><p>(Please point out errors so they do not become embarassing to me....).</p><p></p><p>As a note, I know that his HPs have actually increased since his last incarnation, but that was because last time I figured, so I refigured the HPS.</p><p></p><p>And also, the now-legalized Rilaine "The Steadfast:"</p><p></p><p>Rilaine "The Steadfast"</p><p>Male Human Rogue5</p><p></p><p>STR 15</p><p>DEX 16</p><p>CON 16</p><p>INT 8</p><p>WIS 11</p><p>CHA 10</p><p></p><p>Saves</p><p>FORT +5</p><p>REFL +7</p><p>WILL +1</p><p></p><p>Attacks</p><p>MELEE +7 </p><p>RANGED +8</p><p></p><p>Hitpoints</p><p>24</p><p></p><p>Armor Class</p><p>17 (Flatfooted 13)</p><p></p><p>Initiative</p><p>+5</p><p></p><p>Skills and Feats</p><p>Disguise +10(+0 Ability, 10 ranks)</p><p>Escape Artist +10(+3 Ability, 7 ranks)</p><p>Listen +9(+0 "", +2 feat, 7 ranks)</p><p>Spot +9(+0 "", +2 feats, 7 ranks)</p><p>Use Magic Device+7(+0 "", 7 ranks)</p><p>Hide +10(+3 "", 7 ranks)</p><p>Move Silently +10(+3 "", 7 ranks) </p><p>Profession(Farmer)+1 (+0 '' '', 1 rank)</p><p>Innuendo +8 (+0 "", 8 ranks)</p><p>Sense Motive +8(+0 "", 8 ranks)</p><p></p><p>Improved Initiative</p><p>Alertness</p><p>Dodge</p><p></p><p>Weapons/Armor</p><p>Shortbow Damage 1d6</p><p>+1 Battleaxe Damage 1d8+3</p><p>Buckler</p><p>Leather Armor</p><p></p><p>Other Items of Note</p><p>3 Potions of Cure Light wounds</p><p>Bag of Holding (Bag 1)</p><p>Dust of Tracelessness</p><p>Dust of Disappearance</p><p>Stone of Alarm</p><p>450 gp in coins </p><p>50 gp in gems</p><p></p><p></p><p>Appearance</p><p>Tall, heavily built.
