- Ascy Anseya was born in a quiet corner of Gridania. Not all to much is known about his past, including his exact age. His parents both worked with the Order of the Twin Adders. While out on a patrol, they were ambushed and killed by poachers. Soon afterwards he was taken in by an Elezen in the Archer's guild. The Elezen in question had a long-running feud with the Archer's guild, citing lack of professionalism and having contempt for their teachings and techniques. This culminated in which the Elezen lost his legal guardianship over Ascy who was then taken in the care of the Archer's guild as a whole. He could never quite forget the contempt of the Archer's guild, and reasons for it, held by his previous legal guardian.
- During adolescence Ascy got more and more withdrawn, focusing on Archery and appreciating his surroundings in Gridania and the Shroud. He spend a lot of his time gazing at the stars, however this did not produce knowledge, it did provide the origin of his nickname, 'Ascender' or 'Ascend' shortened to 'Ascy'. Despite stumbling quite a few times while not watching his step, instead gazing at the sky, his face remains devoid of scars. His memory of this period of time is either lacking or sketchy, whether or not he is hiding something is uncertain.
- In his late teens he developed a taste for sharing his knowledge and passion for Archery with others who were interested. Fairly quickly through hear-say he discovered that there was a demand for people who teach Archery, particularly outside the Shroud. As a result Ascy ended up being hired as an instructor for the other Grand Companies, who don't enjoy a long-standing tradition of Archery like the Order of the Twin Adder and as a result have a higher demand for a skilled instructor. Despite this he finds the need and motivation to instruct Free Companies as well, they provide a risk-reward type of deal, where there is a somewhat bigger wide divide between the motivated and unmotivated students.
- Nowadays Ascy can be found travelling between and around the three city states, oftentimes with a scheduled class somewhere around the corner or just behind him. He plans his visits to the city states to revolve around several classes, staying anywhere from a few days to a few weeks in the same area, then travelling onto the next. As a result Ascy has a tendency of gaining and losing new contacts, and has had trouble developing long-standing relationships in the past, which mean that he will appear and act timid and innocent a majority of the time. Despite this, however, he is quite up to speed with what may happen in the bad parts of town, and can easily find himself concerned for the safety of others when not in his presence.
Appearance
- Ascy is typified by a young, unscarred face. He has brown eyes and long hair, almost always covered by his iconic black ranger's hat. He wears a long, woad blue coat with layers of leather covering both the front and back, serving both as protection as well as keeping his clothes out of the way when performing Archery. He has plain blue pants with practical boots, good for maintaining a solid foothold on rougher ground. Most iconic is his bow, made by a master bowyer at the Archer's guild in Gridania, who wishes to remain anonymous. The bow is characterized by its short length and soothing recurve to retain efficient energy transfer, making it ideal for hunting.
