[quote=@Skygirl] Had some unexpected free time, so here we go! [hider=Ashelyth][b]Name:[/b] Ashelyth Iseris [b]Age:[/b] 115 [b]Faction:[/b] Alaitoc Craftworld [b]Occupation:[/b] Ranger, walking the Path of the Outcast [b]Appearance:[/b] Short for an Aeldari, but still taller than many humans, Ashelyth is closer to six feet than seven, with a lithe build and the fresh face of youth, despite living for over a century. Pale-skinned with a smattering of freckles, her eyes are large and light silver-blue in color, and somehow the only part of her that seems [i]old[/i], due to her often distant gaze. Her long hair is platinum blonde, loosely bound behind her and typically tucked away into her hood when on a mission.

She wears lightweight body armor in the dark blue color of her craftworld, Alaitoc, beneath a long hooded cloak. The cloak appears a shimmering metallic silver color normally, but can shift and bend its color to match surrounding environments, aiding in her stealth. She has also come equipped with a Ranger Gloom Field to help hide herself or her unit when under fire, and a Wireweave Net to deploy and use against charging foes, killing some and slowing the rest to buy time for a retreat. [b]History:[/b] Ashelyth's story so far is an all-too-common one on Alaitoc, that of a youth driven to desperation by the repressive mandatory discipline of her craftworld. Rather than cause enough trouble to be forcibly banished, Ashelyth left her people behind of her own accord, choosing the Path of the Outcast, taking up a rifle and setting out as a Starstrider, a Ranger. It wasn't an act done lightly, as Ashelyth left family and many friends behind, and was well aware of the hardships and dangers that awaited her in the larger galaxy. But also she knew there was opportunity, adventure, and greater purpose in it than she could find elsewhere, and that she could not resist. She devoted herself to the craft, obeying the words of her mentors and trainers as law, and steeling her mind in the hopes of becoming impervious to malicious influences. She started her journey on a number of Exodite worlds, offering her services where she was needed. After several years of this she ventured further, seeking out the territories of aliens, always reporting back any noteworthy developments to her home. She made a habit of watching those she encountered in stealth for days, sometimes weeks, to determine their temperament towards her kind if she could, before revealing herself and selling her skill as a sniper. Her most recent and most notable destination was a verdant, lush world under Imperial rule that had come under assault by a sizable warband of Chaos, red-clad cultists and crimson demons fighting under the banner of the World Eaters traitor legion. Ashelyth offered her aid to the beleaguered garrison of the Astra Militarum there, and by chance encountered another of her kind walking the Outcast's Path, this one a Pathfinder of the Saim-Hann craftworld named Galanmaer. Ashelyth spent two years on that world, honing her craft of hit-and-run tactics alongside Galanmaer against the utterly predictable forces of Khorne. The fighting there, the things she witnessed, and the overwhelming threat of Chaos, left its mark on Ashelyth. When she left the ultimately doomed world, she did so alone, sending only a slim report back to Alaitoc, and making no mention of Galanmaer. She left haunted and with the intent to return to her craftworld, perhaps for good, finally feeling like she understands the need for extreme discipline her people preach. She wavered as she traveled, however, and when the call for aid from the Maiden World Yonah went out, it came as a relief. A way to avoid facing her family for now. She changed course and joined with the forces of Alaitoc rangers arriving there, ready to put her long rifle to use against whatever threat Yonah faced. All the while, a foreboding feeling builds in her gut, a feeling like she's become a moth, helpelessly drawn to the flame.[/hider] I admit I have no idea how old a "young" Eldar should be, so I guessed. If anything else seems wrong or not lore-friendly let me know. Some of the history parts I left intentionally vague, if you want the details I can always PM them to you. [/quote] Ashelyth is great! Definitely accepted! 115 is pretty young for an Eldar but I don't think its a bad thing! Many who choose the Outcast Path do so at a young age so it works! EDIT: Also, as expected my weekend has been quite busy, but tomorrow I should have time to get the proverbial ball rolling on this properly!
