When A’shei was but a babe, his mothers left their tribal home and took him and his older sisters to the gentle forests of the Shroud, in the want of a quieter life. While far from the lap of luxury, he had a relatively privileged upbringing in all regards, as his mothers did their best to ensure they wanted for nothing, and he grew up knowing naught but love. But as youthful hearts are wont to be, he craved a life more exciting, and it was in the middle of his sixteenth summer that he left home in the dream of adventure, of glory and riches.
Adventuring, as he quickly discovered, was not quite as glamorous as the tales had led him to believe. The treasures were rarely more than worthless trinkets, there was little renown in slaying rodents, and all in all, it was just far too much work. It was too dirty, too sweaty, too tiring, and the coin was not worth the effort, A’shei thought. Still, he had little desire to return to working for his mothers’ shop selling herbs and flowers, and so resolved to make his own way.
Being possessed of more than a little musical talent, A’shei found there was a nice amount of gil in performance, and for a fraction of the effort and none of the mess of adventuring. A pleasing face and easy charms certainly helped, and it mattered little to him if it was a sweet song or honeyed words that got him what he desired, whether it be coin, a meal and a drink, or a warm bed for the night. While he never set out to be a petty thief, he was nothing if not resourceful, and if, either by manipulation or happenstance, the opportunity presented itself to part a fool with their riches, then so be it.
