Basics

NAME: Asher Hardie AGE: 27 NATIONALITY: Fereldan/Avvar RACE: Human OCCUPATION: Mercenary

HEIGHT: 6'4" BUILD: Solid HAIR: Dirty, blonde, in a weird shaved with ponytail/braids deal EYES: Blue BEARING: Cocky, confident, from the hips

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: His really stupid scalp-braid deal, kind of his a ~masculine~ aroma of needing to wash more than just the essentials and the undercarriage. That he's a hulking giant of a man. Several scars in various locations, mostly seen when shirtless to train including a really nasty one across the gut and another one above his right kidney, Kirkwall is the fucking worst why did he ever live there?

Status

In the tavern or in the training yard, being too big, too loud, and generally causing trouble wherever he goes because he's incapable of behaving like a civilised grown-up. He makes fairly frequent supply runs to the Hardie farm and often goes off on hunting trips; if you need to see a man about a pelt, that man is most often Asher.

Asher is based in the Inquisition camp, not Skyhold proper. His tent is painted with kaddis, a similarly painted shield parked out front serving as a notice board. Oh and hens. He's got a coop, don't touch them.

Reputation

Asher hails from roughly the Hinterlands where his parents operate the Hardie Holdings, a well-managed farm where everyone but Asher pitches in seeing as he was kicked out at fifteen. Maybe you know of the family or knew Asher when he was still a baby. He's part-Avvar so he's gone to several holds with his crew.

As for the crew, he started out in a larger operation based in the Free Marches (he was there when the Blight hit) but then he headed out on his own at twenty, picked up more folks and made The Boneflayers. Ever since he's gone everywhere except Tevinter.

Most famous for:
Incident the First: ripping his shirt off in a crowded tavern, announcing his intention to wrestle a bear. He won.
Incident the Second: up in Nevarra, he got into a drinking contest with some random at the bar. He passes out for two days after drinking something weird. He wakes up a Reaver.

Testimonials
Korrin Ataash on Asher's whereabouts prior to joining up:
"Probably in some Avvar hold, fucking everyone who will have him, drinking obscene amounts of whatever and wrestling another bear just because he can, or finding a dragon to punch in the face. Reavers are...a little over-the-top."

Malcolm Reynolds on Asher to Hermione Grainger:
"Maybe I just gave all my barbarian-ness to a friend 'a mine goes by name of Asher. Big hairy Avaar fella. Got twice the beard as most men and more all over his arms besides. Keeps fight'n bears- probably cuz they think he is one."

"Even for an Avaar, Asher's somth'n else. You'll likely hear him before you see him, and smell him before you hear him. Contrary to popular though, ain't all that bad a smell. Clay paint, bear fur, ale, and probably blood. Maybe his, maybe not." A beat. "He's a reaver, that makes him special."

Hooks

If you want a sparring partner? Look for Asher. If you want a random job a mercenary could do? Look for Asher. Do you want some negative CR with a loud asshole? Look for Asher. Or if you want a no-strings night or friends with benefits deal with a hairy bit of rough, just let me know and we can hash out the details because Asher is all over that. Asher is an experienced Reaver too so if you can stomach unorthodox and brutal training, he'd be up for that.

Also he's the one dude in Skyhold making bear slankets.
