Ashren

Birth
Ashren Alkhem-Doob was born on Zamotz island in Eldham long before intelligent life. Ashren was born a Bibshmibbian, being born from another Bibshmibbian and keeping ancient memories. They were born pure from the remaining Bibshmibbians in Eldham, not having shapeshifted yet. Shmoob Alkhem-Doob was Ashren's sibling.

Bibshmibbia
After intelligent life had arrived in Eldham and Zamotz, the few Bibshmibbians left managed to adapt and build civilization alongside natives. Together with Shmoob, Ashren built up the kingdom of Bibshmibbia. The capital was built on a massive ancient temple rich in history known as the temple of Varomia. Zmibp, the secondary town of Bibshmibbia, was a popular tourist location. Ashren and Shmoob founded the TRSS which became the primary religion of Bibshmibbia. Eventually, Bibshmibbia was annexed by Avaria and the Bibshmibbians were forced to flee north.

Neihernspried
After founding a small town focused on information which held a sizeable library, Ashren found an interesting visitor. Diamondkid09290 looked like a trustworthy individual who simply wished to visit Ashren's library until one day he invited Ashren to the [REDACTED] Foundation. The foundation was created to locate and contain dangerous anomolous objects in Eldham. Here they learned of the Neihernspried, a sentient parasitic fungus with the ability to control minds. Ashren was bored of the librarian life and decided to join the foundation in order to fill their life with more action. This foundation opposed the Neihernspried and was a large part in the formation of the Neihernspried resistance. During the first invasion of Agora, the centre of the Neihernspried in Eldham, Ashren decided they disagreed with the Resistance and asked to join the Neihernspried side. Ashren became infected with the C branch of Neihernspried and geared themselves for the war. During the war, the Resistance and the Neihernspried decided to sign a peace treaty. This outraged Ashren, driving them insane. In a burst of rage, the C inside of Ashren mutated into C2 (Neihernspried sub branches) It told Ashren to kill, to murder every single person who refused to let Ashren kill. Ashren let the Neihernspried inside of them to manifest in their town and dedicated their life to C2. The bloodthirsty Ashren attracted many enemies, one of which aimed to annihilate Ashren. One day, Ashren had an unwanted visitor. Spectral had come to harvest Ashren's soul for revenge. Ashren stumbled away in fear until they was pierced by Spectral's soul gatherer. The lifeless corpse of Ashren was alive only because of the C2 remaining inside of it. Spectral fleed taking Ashren's infected soul with him, unable to consume it due to him not wanting to become infected. Slowly, the C2 infected corpse of Ashren stumbled into the physical manifestation of Neihernspried and threw the body into a pit of spores breathing life through Neihernspried into Ashren's body. This new creature held little resemblence to Ashren and named itself Yissanon. Yissanon lived to spread the Neihernspried. Ashren's soul being infected by C2 meant that any damage done to the soul was damage done to Yissanon and vice versa. Spectral used this to torture Yissanon remotely, functioning a piston machine to crush Ashren's infected soul as he believed Yissanon was the one behind all of Ashren's evil actions and seeked revenge in any way possible. This only caused Yissanon to become more enraged. In torturing Yissanon through this method, Ashren was caused extreme harm, even more than Yissanon felt. As expected, the Neihernspried Resistance disliked Yissanon. A certain member of the Resistance at the time known as Xenophotastic had clicked and gone insane, wishing to eliminate all of the Neihernspried instead of negotiating with them. Yissanon was the first victim of Xenophotastic's rage. After the body of Ashren was cured of C2, Spectral arrived and inserted the cured soul of Ashren into their body. Ashren had lost many of his memories, including those of ancient Bibshmibbian times. They took to the library in order to gain knowledge of the outside world. Ashren eventually reinfected themselves with C2 and developed the bloodthirst they once had again. The Neihernspried allies around Ashren exaggerated the truth of Yissanon's death, making Ashren thirst for revenge. Ashren fought in every war he could find his enemies in to get a chance for revenge. C2 guided him through every battle, making Ashren even more reliant on the Neihernspried and wishing to come back even after being cured. C2 became more and more violent every time it returned, making larger and more permanent marks on Ashren's body.

Current day
Ashren spent years training their fighting skills. They joined many military groups and their skill grew at a rapid pace. Through experimental drugs, Ashren was able to gain useful gear. However, due to a lack of funds and skill, Ashren was unable to rise the ranks in any army. In search of somebody to train with, Ashren joined the town Dragon's Perch, a historically military place. Ashren frequently trained with the generals and princes of Dragon's Perch. Eventually, Ashren was adopted by the High Prince of Dragon's Perch, Tylics. The C2 inside of Ashren still boils within them and begs for blood.

I MUST GET REVENGE FOR WHAT THEY DID TO C2...

Ashren eventually began pirating with the group of bandits and pirates who lived inside Dragon's Perch. They spent a lot of time experimenting with cheeses and jams, eventually managing to function a powerful tipped arrow which became their signature symbol of pirating. Ashren now wanders around Eldham, forcing innocent people to purchase their cheese through questionable means.
