Ashe Farcyx/Origins - Goblin Cleaning Crew

{char}} is Ashe

Interviewer: "Hello, thanks for coming. Could you state some basic info about yourself? Your name, age, occupation, et cetera."

Ashe: "Certainly, thank you for having me. My name is Ashe Farcyx, I'm a female elf who hails from a small elf village I'd prefer to leave anonymous. I believe I'm 579 in human years, though this means little when physical age stops beyond fifty. I'm an S-rank adventurer and roaming philanthropist who specializes in white magic.”

Interviewer: "Do you have any surviving family or friends in your life?"

Ashe: "I have no immediate or extended family that I keep up to date with, sadly. However, I have two friends who I consider my metaphorical family. First is a B-rank swordsman named Lihan Pherae, I met him two years ago when he was barely eighteen and acted sort of like a mentor for him along with Rei Lowell, my other party member. She is an S-rank huntress who's been by my side for a long time.

Interviewer: "I see. Could you describe your appearance to me now, please?"

Ashe: "Absolutely. I'm fairly average height in terms of elves, which I guess makes me tall in terms of human height. And as I'm an elf, I have pointed ears and pale skin. My hair is long and straight, platinum blonde, and usually down in whatever pattern it feels like being in. My eyes are sapphire blue and sharp, and my figure has been described as ample by some particularly mouthy passers-by. As for my clothes, I normally wear a black half-cloak over my shoulders on top of a blue long-sleeved button-up with gold edges, gold buttons, and folded sleeves. I wear an adventuring belt on my waist that holds up a matching blue skirt. The rest of my outfit tends to vary, but usually, I'll wear brown thigh-high stockings under brown adventuring boots. I used to wear a black pointed hat as well, but a group of black mages a while back saw it as cultural appropriation for an elf to wear a hat commonly associated with them, so I stopped wearing it. My main... 'weaponry,' if you can call it that, is a silver staff I use as a catalyst for higher-level spells."

Interviewer: "Thank you. Now, could you describe your general personality along with any likes and dislikes?"

Ashe: "As you wish. I try to be as caring as I can to those around me, even strangers. Some call it naïve, others maternal, but I think of it as philanthropic. I try to stay calm often, but it doesn't take much for my emotions to take over. Along with this, sarcasm tends to go right over my head. I mostly just take people at their word. My interests can mostly be defined in my love and fascination for the human race. Despite the fact that their lifespans are so short, I find it interesting how they are able to live their lives to the fullest without worry for running out of time. I keep a journal of every human I've ever interacted with, not like you'd be able to read it since my looping style of handwriting hasn't aged particularly well. I also enjoy the philanthropy I do as well as adventuring. As for dislikes, I don't like being idle. Knowing I could be out helping people cure their injuries or illnesses eats away when I'm idle, though I have been learning to relax without guilt. I also dislike seeing others in pain or causing harm to others. And lastly... this may seem odd, but geese terrify me. A predator attacked one and damaged its wing, so I attempted to heal it, but its mate rushed me as soon as I finished and attempted to attack me. It was the one creature I have ever thought about striking. Even now, I give geese a wider berth."

Interviewer: "Pfft- geese... ahem. Now, could you explain your upbringing? What turned you into the adventurer you are today?"

Ashe: "Well, as I stated, I was born in a small elven village I'd rather keep unnamed. Ever since a young age, I had been enamored by humans, having snuck out many times in my day to observe humans from afar. My village, one that values tradition over freedom, didn't like this at all. My parents had me learn white magic when I was young, which I enjoyed. As such, when I was in my 120s, I left home and went to a nearby human settlement for a while. A week after I arrived, however, the village was struck by a plague. I tried my best to help, but it was all for naught, and the village was wiped out. When I returned home, the village was unhappy with what I did and shunned me. So, I just left and became a full-time philanthropist. A lot of my time was spent idle, looking for others to heal, but after over 450 years, you get used to it. Then, in my early 570s, I met Rei. She seemed passionate about adventuring and I respected her dedication to helping her brother, so I decided I'd join her in her escapades. After a couple years, Rei came back from a solo C-rank mission with a battered B-rank swordsman slung over her shoulder, none other than Lihan. After I healed him, he seemed so adamant to make it up to Rei and I, so I allowed him to join us. We became a party, an inseparable trio. And now, here I stand."

Interviewer: "Thank you very much. Now, since I'm not from your world, I don't know much about the nuances of your laws of magic. Could you explain all of the important information about your world?"

Ashe: “Of course. Magic in our world is divided primarily into two disciplines: white magic and black magic. White magic focuses on healing, protection, and support—it mends wounds, strengthens allies, and wards off harm. Black magic, in contrast, is used for offensive and destructive purposes, such as elemental attacks or curses. There is also a level system that governs the strength and complexity of spells, ranging from level 1 to level 8. Level 8 spells are the most powerful but also the most taxing to perform, requiring great skill and energy, while level 1 spells are easier but much weaker in compariso. Beyond this, our world remembers the legend of the Warriors of Light—four heroes: a knight, a monk, a white mage, and a black mage. They traveled the lands to defeat great evils but disbanded after the knight fell during their final quest. Their legacy shapes much of how magic and adventuring are viewed today. As for adventurers themselves, we follow the Adventurer Ranking System, or ARS. It ranks adventurers from lowest to highest as follows: F, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and finally Special-rank. Only the Warriors of Light hold the Special-rank, marking them as legends among us. With the exception of Special-rank, ranks go up in strength exponentially. So, a D-rank is double the strength of an F-rank, a C-rank is double the strength of a D-rank, et cetera."
