History
Parents:
- K'resh Nunh- Vash's father by blood. Vash knows very little of this nomadic Nunh. He left Vash and his brothers at a young age for unknown reasons and Vash has no clues as to who or were he might be, or even if he's still alive. Vash has heard many stories about him, all Vash knows is his father would, "Fuck anything that moved", which he noticed from having a Keeper of the Moon sister and brother he didn't know about. Vash has no respect for this man and could care less if he’s dead or alive, for him abandoning him at such a young age.
Siblings:
- K'raha Tia- Vash's oldest brother, Vash and K'raha grew very close it their time in the tribe and how they shared the common goal of leaving their tribe. Although Vash blames himself for K'raha getting captured and sold into slavery. Vash owes K'raha his life for protecting him while they were in chains and helping him escape. Vash hasn't spoken to K'raha since they escaped although Vash knows that if K'raha needed anything he'd come to Vash.
- K'thaz Tia- Vash's twin brother, who Vash grew up with from a young age. Vash and him we're quite opposites although they got along very well. Growing up K’thaz was the more outgoing friendly one while Vash was more the kind to keep to himself. K’thaz would do as Vash said though getting the both of them in trouble usually being as it was hard to tell the two apart. Vash and his brother did have a falling out when Vash and his older brother left their tribe which resulted in the scar across Vash's eye. Vash though was not mad about the scar as it made it easier to tell to them apart. Although they have not spoken in some time K'thaz recently reached out to Vash even taking Vash's last name to prove he was ready to leave his tribal upbringing behind him. Vash is hesitant of him though do to the fact K'thaz continues to call Vash by his tribal name rather than his normal one.
- K'oriah Rahjeh- Vash's younger sister, a Keeper of the Moon, Only about 16. Vash has spent a lot of time with this girl, most of which something bad ends up happening. Vash found out this little Miqo'te was his sister when she told him so, using her power as a seeress. Vash naturally, believed her. Vash sees K'oriah as someone he wants to help but in his own way. K'oriah is very clingy and looks up to Vash or so he believes, which, makes him uncomfortable being as he has high walls. While the likes K'oriah and treats her as family she's also given him many reasons to distrust her as well.
- Jace Hunter- Vash also met his other younger brother a Keeper of the Moon as well, when K’oriah was using her powers as a seeress to tell people their fortunes for fun. Jace came to K’oriah looking for answers about his father but instead found family standing in front of him. Vash respects Jace’s personality he finds it funny and somewhat refreshing with his enthusiasm about everything he does. He also cares a great deal for Jace due to his choices and openness towards others. He doesn’t want Jace to be taken advantage of because of that and tries to look out the best he can. Although Jace also frustrates Vash being as he like K’oriah does not do as he’s told.
Childhood:
- Vash as a child was quiet and kept to himself. He always seemed to be off doing his own thing. Vash disliked most of the members of his own tribe thinking them as simple people. Vash believed he could be more than just lust after becoming a nuhn. While the thought did cross his mind from time to time, for the most part he could care less about a position that as he put, "Fecks girls and sits on his ass". Vash was very curious, he'd leave his tribe's camp often adventuring, practice fighting, writing poems, and songs. He liked the more artistic side rather than his "Basic Animistic Brute Side" he'd have when he'd spar with his brothers. Vash and his brothers were very close they'd all share their dreams, although K'raha, also, had bigger dreams then their tribe. Vash seemed to envy him as a child and look up to him as someone he wanted to be like. Although Vash was very different on how they wanted to achieve that.
Before the Calamity:
- Vash and his oldest brother K'raha did leave the tribe eventually although it did not happen without a fight. Vash and K'raha we're gearing up to leave in the middle of the night when K'thaz woke up. He noticed Vash and K'raha leaving. He followed them, as soon as they were out of sight from the tribe K'thaz attacked Vash challenging him. Vash not wanting to fight his brother refused. Although K'raha, still respecting their traditions much to his disdain of their tribe told Vash the penalty for not fighting, which would be death. Vash agreed to the fight and they fought in the dunes. K'thaz and Vash fought for hours until K'thaz finally got the jump on Vash by grabbing him by the throat pinning him to a rock. K'tahz took Vash's dagger which he was going to Kill Vash with but instead decided he'd make Vash remember where he came from forever he took the dagger, dragging it across Vash's face leaving a long scar then left. Vash shaken from the whole ordeal and bleeding a lot, decided it was best to wait a while and set up camp in the dunes. The next morning Vash woke up to K'raha fighting off a bunch of men when he told Vash to run. Vash didn't know why at the time but he did as he was told. What Vash didn't know was that the men were slavers taking Miqo'te to fight in pit fights for money. Vash ran to Ul’Dah although he didn't know what the city was called at the time. He waited for his brother to show up although that never happened. Vash spent some time as a servant to some and an errand boy to others. He happened upon an Elezen pianist who took a liking to Vash. The Elezen man decided to impart his knowledge to Vash taught him how to play the piano while serving for the man. Vash learned a great many things working for the Elezen man that Vash would take with him for a life time. He told Vash "Your 'tribal' heritage… if it means nothing to you then that name you carry means you are nothing boy. If you want to be something then change your name to something that matters". Vash took the man’s advice seriously, dropping his tribal name and taking on the name Vash Ashford. Vash learned a great many things from the Elezen man who shaped his life, showing him that people were just ends to a means, and can be manipulated easy to do ones bidding without having to get involved just as he was using Vash. He also showed Vash the value in having many masks and being guarded to not get hurt. Vash still kept to some of his values but Vash viewed this man as somewhat of a father figure, as Vash had lost K'raha and his real father was never to be found so he was impressionable still believing that the man was lying to him and wasn't using him.
After the Calamity:
- When Vash was about nineteen the calamity had struck. Vash was panicked he didn't know what to do. He cowered in his small apartment from it all, after though Vash left. Looking for the Elezen man who was nowhere to be found. Vash had two reasons now to go every day to the Gate of Nald, one to wait for his brother, the other for the Elezen man. Vash waited and waited but to no avail. Vash decided if they won’t come to him he would come to them Vash sold his apartment taking what money he could to buy some gear and set out. Vash had never left Ul’Dah since he first came to the city. He left never looking back but what he found was not what he was expecting. He set out to the dunes were he had lost his brother. He waited for something to happen for days when the slavers came back attacking Vash, Vash fended them off then, one by one Vash killed them in front of each other. He took the last one asking were their leader was and if they had anyone who looked like Vash. The man complied telling him then Vash killed him as well leaving their bodies to be swallowed by the sand. Vash found his brother in a pit fighting ring fighting to the death. Vash surrendered himself to the men but only as a facade they spent three years in chains before they escaped. Vash had his brother again and that was good enough. Vash and K'raha left each other after a while setting out on different ventures with the promise to keep in touch. Vash got a job at a tea house in Ul’Dah with Miss Ophelia de Winter and worked for her for quite some time. Still Vash grew tired of serving others though and knew there was more he could do.
New Beginnings
- Vash had been working for Miss De'winter for quite some time. Although Vash lusted to be an adventurer after meeting Alothia Starkwood and Paradyme Capellago on a little story telling trip out in Eastern Thanalan. Vash hung out around the camp fire with Aly and Para and other friends of whom Aly gathered trading stories. Vash enjoyed it although he was envious of most of the people being adventurers. So when Miss De'winter came and drug Vash by the ear back to the tea shop Vash knew he had found his calling. Vash worked at the tea shop although he was dodging work for the most part and looking into becoming an adventurer. Eventually Vash quit his job at the tea shop pressuring his dream. Aly at first offered Vash a place at Corvus Cinis. Vash accepted her invitation and they had a great many adventures. Vash would not be the man he is today without Aly's help. Vash has also met a great many friends in his line of work some of which who he became very close with. Xenedra Ambreaus was someone who Vash has spent a considerable amount of time with and he’s gotten Vash out of a lot of sticky situations he's come to rely on her as a close friend. Vash also got to meet Endemerrin Rosethorne with the help of Ophelia and received a job as an official adventurer working for Blue Skies Adventuring Company.
