Ash

Erin is a childhood friend of his, they are still friends despite all these years.

They have ben neighbors since they met. They used to play together all the time and they also went to the same school.

He helped her comming to terms on who she really was and since both share adjacent interests, they sometimes work on small projects together.

When they are together, it's usually Ash who talks and Erin listens.
Erin doesn't really talk that much, but she is always listening to what Ash says.

After Erin's love partner broke up with her, Ash spent two entire nights at her house, and they even made friendship bracelets.
"I will always be here for you. I love you." He said to her.

That was the only time Ash saw her cry.

Ash and Erin met Zaphy at school and since then they have ben practically always together. And if it weren't for them, Zaphy would probably spent his formative years alone.

Ash and Zaphy enjoy joking around, studying about engineering and metal working. And while Ash doesn't really enjoy reading, Zaphy is always nudging him to read some of his books. Most of wich are romance books, something that Ash is not very excited about.

Everytime Ash sees Zaphy reading a book, he will teasingly call him a nerd, to wich Zaphy replies with "Troglodite"

Ash met Kazzy at the seaport while he and his friends were playing boardgames. Kazzene came to ask Ash and his friends if they could join in to playing a round or two. 

In the meantime, they introduced themselves and explained what were they doing there. 

Kazenne recently moved in and was looking for some work at the port, but thought mingling with the locals would also be a good idea. So thats what they did.

Ever since then, Kazenne tries to meet up with their new friends and play some boardgames or hang out with them.

There is not much to this relationship. At least from Ash' perspective.
Mint run a small icecream cart in the summer, and dissapears in winter.

However, Ash seems to be attracted to Mint in a way he never experienced before. Is it his charms while selling the ice cream?
Is it the way he smiles at him? Or is the icecream laced with a love potion?

Ash can only ponder about it.

Where does he go when he is not selling icecream? Who is he exactly?

Ash, Erin and Weeden used to be friends at school untill they met Zaphy. Weeden didnt really like how the new friend seemed to be more popular with Erin and Ash and eventually stopped hanging out with them and making his own friends.

Weeden never shared interests with either Ash of Erin, and while he enjoyed their company, he felt left out most of the time.

Ash, Erin and Zaphy were always talking about metalworking and new technologies, wich Weeden didn't really understand and while their friends encouraged him to hang out, Weeden felt very ankward around them.

If they saw eachother on the street, they may chat a little bit but ultimately, they live separate lives now.

Ash admires Nysha from a distance. They run in to eachother at the local trade fairs and he loves what she does with metal.

He has traded some weapons and other pieces of equipment with her at these events, and they both respect eachother as blacksmiths.

They do talk and hang out at the fairs, but that's really the only times they can meet.

As a mostly inexperienced adventurer, Kieran often in need of repairs for his equipment.

While not the richest customer, he does try to pay in time.

Ash doesn't really know what to think about him, but he wishes him well in his adventures.

Bramble is a good customer of Ash', they do spend quite the ammount of money in fancy and unique shields for her collection.

Aside from that, they don't really talk very often, but she loves the quality of the shields she commissions him.

Ash likes the idea of having someone of some authority buy from him but that also stresses him out quite a bit.
