Asashi Trellias

Asashi Trellias is a young Draenei Hunter venturing to make her discreet mark on the world. She has no visions of great grandeur, such as ever becoming powerful enough to travel to Northrend or even back to Outland, although she does hope to help the people of Azaroth in some way, shape or form.

History to Current
Her journey began in the Azuremyst Isles, after she awoke from stasis to find the Exodar had crashed on a strange, alien world.

Before this point in time, Asashi had only just chosen to live her life as a Hunter. The decision was a surprise to all; as she was always slated to become a priest. She held in her heart a dear respect for life and could not think of harming a living creature, yet for reasons unknown when the time came to choose her path, she decided upon a Hunter. It was very hard for her to make her first kill, but with the sounds of her wounded brethren around her instilling her with focus, she did what she had to do.

Shortly thereafter, Asashi came across her first contact with the Blood Elves. She knew they were the reason the Exodar was here, but she had never come across them. Like the Draenei's history with the Orcs, their paths were far from hers and never directly influenced her life. However, the Blood Elves present in Azuremyst Isles didn't seem to care for her passive, live-and-let-live ways.

They attacked her with a ferocity, and spit words of hate in their battle. Asashi had never been at the receiving end of such violence; she found herself at first shocked and appalled, but then as they continued to slash at her with their blades, she found herself becoming angry. She could not understand why they hated her so -when they did not know her!-; how they could curse the Draenei as a whole. The entire idea boggled her mind, and within this she found a justified hate of her own building. Asashi did not understand why she felt this way, she could only react to it; and thus, to this day, she harbors a great hate for the Blood Elf race, more so than any Orc.

Several days after her encounter with the Blood Elves, Asashi finally walked into the crystal halls of the Exodar. Through trial and error since she had awoken, she was by all intents and purposes a full-fledged Hunter. At her side traveled her new and trustworthy companion, a Strider she named Signal, and her trial of taming him was clearly marked from a largely bandaged shoulder. She paused in the center of the Exodar, looking over the open area as she recalled her fateful encounter...

''She had thought to tame the Kurken. It was a giant, two-headed beast that had plagued the Stillpine that lived in the area. Asashi had fought the creature before and recalled it's strength - she wanted it for her own. However, as she approached the monster from the start of it's cave, she was overcome with a terrible sense of fear. Her senses were on fire and she realized she could not move any further. The Kurken had seen her, it's great eyes glaring at her from behind a muzzle of sharp, gnashing teeth. She saw death in it's eyes, a promise of something painful and feral - it was going to eat her. And yet the Kurken did not move, it continued to glare at her before suddenly snarling angrily and turning away - giving her just one chance.''

''Asashi found she was able to move again, and without a second thought she fled the cavern in a rush of blinding fear, hearing the roar of the Kurken echo behind her. Her hooves stamped deeply into the earth beneath her, and she didn't know how far she'd run before she stopped, trembling, and fell to her knees. Moments passed by, and Asashi clenched her eyes shut against the loose tears of fear that wanted to fall. She blamed herself for thinking she was strong enough, for being so arrogant. How could she ever hope to tame such a creature as that? The Kurken was far beyond her.''

''Lost in her self-loathing, she almost didn't hear the two, heavily plodding steps nearby. Asashi looked up slowly to see before her a tremendous Strider. The bird so far hadn't bothered her, but it's eyes kept looking at her. It was on guard, but more interested in finding food in the grass than attacking her. But... the most amazing thing was it's -color-. It was bright blue, from it's head to it's tail. Asashi stared at it, unable to look away. The Strider suddenly turned towards her, stamping it's taloned feet into the ground and clacking it's beak loudly. ''

Asashi pulled herself up to stand, but refused to step back. ''If she couldn't have the Kurken... then she would have this bird before her.'' ''The Strider fought her beak and talon; it kicked at her with it's powerful legs and hit her with it's stubbed, feather-less wings. Just before the Strider conceded, it's powerful beak bit down on her shoulder, and Asashi cried out as she felt her blood spill. The Strider glared at her as it held it's grip, grinding the sharp edges of it's beak into the wound. In it's eyes, she could see a promise - fail me, the bird said, and I will finish you.''

Asashi cleared her head of the memory, looking over at Signal. The Strider was waiting patiently, holding it's head up high as it surveyed the crystalline interior of the Exodar with wary caution. Signal followed her faithfully as she moved through the Exodar, and the two of them stayed in the Draenei home for several days. Soon enough, Asashi found herself on a boat - not to Darnassus, the Night Elves city, where other Draenei eventually found their way - but to Stormwind, the center of human culture on Azaroth.

She has been there ever since - it has been nearly a month now since she had arrived and Asashi has already grown much stronger. Her bond with Signal has grown deeper, and the two are trusted allies. Asashi has fought for the humans in Westfall, ridding the area of the Defias brotherhood threat, and aided those of Lakeshire against their orcs and gnolls. She continues to investigate the deceased Edwin Vancleef, and is currently in the quiet town of Darkshire, a place riddled with trouble and superstition. .
