[hider=Ashe Emberweave] Name: Ashe Emberweave Age: 47 Appearance: [img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRFPoqQaYi1q7cIXscn-u8ly5MDicVgH9fnOA&s[/img] Ashe's skin has a deep, molten-like hue, varying between dark blue and black, and fiery cracks across their body resembling lava flowing beneath a cooled surface. Their hair is made entirely of flickering flames, ever shifting and twitching. Ember-like veins pulse across their body, glowing brighter when their emotions rise. Their eyes burn with a constant orange tint, casting a faint glow in dim lighting. Ashe stands tall and lean, with an intimidating, ethereal presence that reflects the raw, untamed energy of fire. Race: Blight-Born - Energy Type Blight-Born Traits: The blight twisted Ashe into something between human and flame, granting them the power to manipulate and control fire. Their body emits a constant heat, capable of searing those who touch them without permission. The blight also infused Ashe with the ability to “spin” fire like thread, which they’ve incorporated into their craft. However, this power comes at a cost. Blight-Born Abilities: Fire Threading: Ashe can spin flame into fine threads, using them to create heat-resistant fabrics, intricate glowing designs, and practical textiles that could survive in the harshest conditions. These threads can be manipulated into temporary structures, such as nets, cloaks, or even artwork. Molten Touch: With direct contact, Ashe can superheat materials—melting metals, warping wood, or hardening fabric. This is vital to their craft but dangerous when left unchecked. They’ve worked on their delicate control but must concentrate deeply on not damaging their surroundings. Flame Sculpting: Ashe can manipulate small flames into precise shapes or objects, allowing them to create decorative fire sculptures that remain intact for a short period. These flaming sculptures can act as temporary lights, warning signals, or displays of beauty in the darkened streets of Dawnhaven. The flames they sculpt flicker in time with their heartbeat. Inferno Burst: In moments of extreme stress or danger, Ashe can release a burst of intense heat, creating an expanding wave of flames around them. Though this consumes a significant amount of their energy, it can incinerate immediate threats, offering them a form of fiery self-defence at the cost of leaving them in a near-death state Weaknesses: Dehydration: Ashe’s constant heat output makes them highly vulnerable to dehydration. They require large amounts of water regularly, and without it, they can become dangerously weakened, unable to control their flames from within, and at risk of burning themselves out. Overexertion: Using too much of their power, leaves Ashe physically and mentally drained. They must rest after any large project or risk losing control of their abilities altogether, potentially causing unintended fires or worse Fire Magnet: Because their body exudes heat and small flames, Ashe is naturally drawn to and by fire. Any blaze, whether accidental or intended, seems to “seek them out.” It means uncontrolled fires in their proximity can rapidly spread. Kingdom: Lunaris Role: Artisan/Tailor, specialised in creating fire-resistant fabrics, glowing garments, and decorative fiery textiles. Their creations have begun drawing attention in Dawnhaven as practical tools for survival, particularly for those venturing into hazardous, fiery environments. Magic: N/A Short Bio: Ashe came to Dawnhaven on their own accord after succumbing to the blight. Once a humble clothier in Lunaris, they were drawn to the idea of turning their curse into an opportunity for profit and power. The blight twisted their body but gave them abilities far beyond anything they could have dreamed of. They wish to set up their shop, Emberweave, in Dawnhaven, Ashe's main goal is to craft unique clothes for the rich and poor alike. In secret, however, they seek to gather enough funds to pay for an expedition into the blight lands, having heard rumours of a lost treasure somewhere in the blight lands. While their fiery powers will prove useful, their intense heat and tendency to accidentally scorch their surroundings will make them feel isolated, they know for sure that people will seek them out when winter comes…and a pay-date will follow immediately afterwards. Misc: Flame-Resistant Wardrobe: Ashe must carefully craft their own clothing, using heat-resistant materials to prevent their body’s natural flames from consuming them. This gives them a distinct, signature style—often glowing in dim light. Ambition: Despite their soft-spoken nature, Ashe is driven by a strong desire for wealth and freedom. Their obsession with the rumoured blight treasure is slowly taking over their thoughts, leading them to take on dangerous commissions and push the limits of their abilities.[/hider] [hider=Emberweave] [img]https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/067/991/871/large/thekoswog-39-3.jpg?1696729456[/img] [hider=Handcrafted Firewoven Garments] [img]https://i.ibb.co/gMvDNn2/DALL-E-2024-08-29-09-04-46-Medieval-style-clothes-designed-by-a-half-human-half-fire-elemental-being.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/cJ0czyJ/cloathing-line-2.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/SQCH50G/DALL-E-2024-08-29-09-04-37-Medieval-style-clothes-designed-by-a-half-human-half-fire-elemental-being.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/n1y0BmH/cloathing-line.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/Yf1crK4/123.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/Fb0S1X9/1234.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/hDVzDLM/DALL-E-2024-08-30-09-33-59-A-collection-of-medieval-style-men-s-pants-and-pantaloons-designed-by-a-h.webp[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/P5BKzDq/image-2.webp[/img] [/hider] Emberweaver Location: Dawnhaven, nestled just beyond the bustling main streets, just after the Sya's inn. Overview: Emberweaver is a one-of-a-kind fabric and clothing shop. It is run by the artisan Ashe, the shop is a sanctuary for those drawn to the elemental beauty of fire-wrought creations. Every piece crafted within Emberweaver pulses with life, infused with strands of fire woven into rich, glowing fabrics. Interior: As you step inside, Emberweaver exudes a warm glow. The shop's walls and ceiling are adorned with textiles made from Ashe’s signature fire strands. These luminous fabrics hang like floating embers, their colors—deep reds, molten golds, coppery oranges, and cool, shimmering blues—creating an almost outworldy tapestry of light and color. The fabrics sway gently with the movement of air, giving the space an almost living quality, as if the shop itself breathes. In the center of the shop, a large stone table serves as Ashe's primary workspace. The sturdy surface is ideal for crafting and shaping the fire strands without risk of damage, and it is surrounded by various tools—fire-hardened needles, flame-tempered scissors, and specialized implements designed to handle the volatile nature of flame-woven cloth. Neatly organized spools of fire strands, each glowing with vibrant, chemical-infused hues, sit nearby, ready to be woven into new creations. The strands, delicate yet powerful, curl and twist in the soft light, a testament to Ashe's mastery over the elemental material. Shelves line the walls, stocked with bolts of glowing cloth, each waiting to be transformed into garments. The materials on display range from practical fabrics for everyday use to luxurious, high-end cloths that seem almost too beautiful to wear. Every inch of Emberweaver reflects Ashe's precision and skill, the fiery textiles casting an ever-changing light across the space. Several clothing racks stand along one side of the shop, showcasing Ashe’s finished garments. These pieces, a blend of functional and artistic, range from durable everyday attire—flame-resistant and warm—to elegant robes and cloaks, their hems crackling softly with fire. Each garment carries an unmistakable glow providing not just warmth but a sense of power and protection to the wearer. Private Quarters: At the back of the shop, a small room serves as Ashe's personal retreat. Though modest, the quarters are cozy, with simple furnishings illuminated by the ever-present glow of embers. A bed, a few personal belongings, and a chair make up the space, offering a quiet refuge from the demands of the craft. The room, though functional, holds the warmth and comfort that comes from a life lived close to the fire.

His skin is a deep, shimmering violet with intricate silver patterns resembling moon phases. His eyes glow a soft, striking blue, and his long hair cascades like a stream of starlight. He wears robes that shift in hue, reflecting the phases of the moon, and carries an aura of tranquillity and wisdom. If it were not for his unhuman violet eyes, one might confuse them with a human. [b]Race:[/b] Blight-Born - Emotional Feeder [b]Blight-Born Traits:[/b] Lysander’s blight transformation has bestowed upon him a remarkable presence, making him exceptionally charismatic and empathetic. His abilities are: [list][*][b]Lunar Charisma:[/b] His very presence can calm and inspire others, making him a natural leader and mediator. [*][b]Empathetic Resonance:[/b] He can sense and influence the emotions of those around him in a limited capacity but depending on how much the person already believes Lysander this can scale exponentially. [*][b]Blight Visions:[/b] Lysander occasionally experiences powerful visions, which he believes are messages from the Moon Goddess, Seluna.

[*][b]Emotional Drain:[/b] Using his empathic abilities extensively can lead to emotional fatigue.[/list] [b]Kingdom:[/b] Lunaris [b]Role:[/b] Priest of Lunaris (Unofficial) [b]Magic:[/b] Prior to his transformation, Lysander learned basic healing spells capable of healing most small cuts, bruises etc. [b]Short Bio:[/b] Lysander was an orphan raised within the temple of Lunaris, where the faithful were expected to train and serve the Moon Goddess, Seluna. However, despite his religious upbringing, Lysander never truly believed in the gods. To him, the divine was a concept meant for others to ponder, not something that impacted his life. He excelled in the temple’s teachings, not because of faith, but because he had a talent to make people believe whatever he said, even if it was a blatant lie. As he grew older, Lysander left the temple, feeling no attachment to the beliefs he had been surrounded by. Life outside the temple was harsh, and it was during one of his travels through the blighted lands that fate caught up with him. The blight took him, transforming him into a Blight-Born. In the midst of his transformation, Lysander experienced a powerful and overwhelming vision, unlike anything he had ever felt before. The vision was vivid and searing, filled with cryptic images and flashes of Seluna's presence, as if the goddess herself had reached down and touched him. This vision convinced him that he was chosen by Seluna herself for a greater purpose. It was this moment, this divine revelation, that shattered his scepticism and ignited a fervent zeal within him.
