| |
| − | Garen Ashe is best described in one word - boisterous. The man is loud and brash, always saying what's on his mind. His gigantic figure makes for quite an imposing personage, until one realizes he's basically a gigantic teddy bear with a heart two sizes too big for his job. If one is looking for a bodyguard or a brother in the drink, they'll find it in Garen. However, appearances are not always the entire story, and behind the energetic man lies a warrior who serves his land as faithfully as any other.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Appearance===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Garen is absolutely enormous. The man is heavily built, clearly the type to favour physical training over any sort of mental exercise. At well over six fulm, he towers over even other highlanders, one of the tallest of his race. His skin is tanned - naturally so, a result of a lineage of the sand. His hair is a sandy brown color, and his eyes are slightly almond-shaped and thin, with a set of piercing green irises. He has a smaller facial scar across his left cheek, cutting into his skin without getting to bone. His jaw is heavy and squared, usually with a bit of beard tuft around it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Garen is rarely seen outside of armor, a customized variant of ancient fighter's armor that is snow-white in its core color.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Personality===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Everything about Garen could be described as loud. The man wouldn't know subtlety if it chose to strike him in the back of the head. He laughs loud, drinks hard and throws himself into the field with only the most minor of regards - and only the presence of his infant daughter in his mind keeps him that restrained. He's far from dumb, but also leaves intellectual pursuits to his better half, [[Liliana Nazareth]]. To Garen Ashe, life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and every day is spent towards that endeavor.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Combat==
| |
| − | ===General===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Garen uses his large size and weight as an advantage in battle. He swings his enormous axe wide intentionally, with all intents to cover openings with swift punches and short strikes. Due to his strength, any single direct strike from his axe tends to be fatal, so he avoids immediately chopping down anyone who can be reasoned with - though he has a habit of knocking people out with his axe's broad blade. He can sustain a surprising amount of injury and keep fighting, though if too badly hurt he will retreat. He often partners with Lily in battle, which affords both of them a near infinite engagement time thanks to his resilience and her magic healing and offense.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If somehow anyone close to him is harmed in battle (especially his Fireborn, and even moreso Lily) Garen stops cutting wide and begins fighting defensively, both to give the injured time to escape and to create openings that will allow him to end the conflict. In last ditch efforts, he will disregard defense and try to take the enemy with him, using the chain he wears as a belt to drag the enemy close for a killing blow. So far, he hasn't needed this.

| |
| − | ::* He's a surprisingly adept dancer, preferring a Limsan step dance he learned from [[Z'attana Mitnu]].

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Other===
| |
| − | ::* Garen is time displaced, and appears to be in his mid-20s when he was born nearly 30 years ago. He does bear the mark others do on the back of his neck.
| |
| − | ::* Due to his presence at the Praetorium and subsequent exposure to the power of Hydaelyn, Garen has an Echo. He has no conscious control of it and cannot read minds, but he is immune to tempering and other forms of aetherial control.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Relationships==
| |
| − | ===Family===
| |
| − | ::* [[Liliana Ashe]] - his mate and lover for years and between time. They know many every secret the other has to his, and have one child together...
| |
| − | ::* [[Roysia Orella Ashe]] - his one year old daughter, Garen considers Roysia the best part of his life and happily spoils the girl completely.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Friends===
| |
| − | ::* The Fireborn - Garen's free company, many of his dearest friends reside within the organization, and are as much family as friends.
| |
| − | ::* [[Z'attana Mitnu]] - a friend from before Carteneau, Atty is one of Garen's most trusted sword-sisters from within the Gladiator Arena. He trusts the woman with his life, which is a mite surprising given that she tends to be the sharp tongue that points out some of his more fool-hardy moments.
| |
| − | ::* [[Altonio Salaphonte]] - a young hyur Garen picked up along the way, Alt is an incredibly skilled monk with more than a bit of a hothead about him, which endears the kid to Garen. He's a few years younger than the rest of the Fireborn, but his spirit makes up for it.
| |
| − | ::* [[Enla Kertuh]] - a Miqo'te healer that Garen swiftly recruited into his forces, Enla serves as one of the Fireborn's core healers and has more than earned Garen's trust as a member of their force - and through that, has become a deeper friend than even the Highlander chooses to admit.
| |
| − | ::* [[Ninifae Nira]] - an old friend of battle that Garen has had for a year or so now, Ninifae tends to be who Garen turns to whenever anything goes magically awry and Lily isn't available. Her recent changes have left him confused, but he does his best to remain an ever-loyal friend.
| |
| − | ::* [[Menelwen Veara]] - he helped the woman escape her captors at one point, and in exchange she healed a few long-term injuries he'd come across. The two rarely interact but are at least quite friendly upon doing so.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Enemies===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ::* [[Ryo Sanada]] - He'd cut the bastard's head off if given a second to get his axe around. Rumors of the man's sudden revival and return have kept the Highlander wary.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Other===
| |
| − | ::* [[Avalyn Piper]] - an older acquaintance long-gone from the man's life, occasionally Garen muses about her status, especially with recent rumors that her voidsent... "someone" has returned. They don't keep contact anymore though, so he really doesn't know much about her from the air that he breathes.
| |
| − | ::* [[Nylesa Tou]], [[Hiro Ayami]] - he associates these two together thanks to their clear friendship, and while he barely knows them, he's always found the two fascinating. Secretly he thinks the both of them are lovers but he says nothing, mostly because he figures Nylesa would start throwing punches.
