Ashley Beauregard

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]


A dusty wanderer drifts into town. His figure reeks of mystery, intrigue, and danger, and he draws stolen glances like honey draws flies. If you can picture this, you can get a pretty good image of Ashley Beauregard. Boding and dangerous, underneath his tough and weathered exterior is a charming and charismatic rough man. God help you if you tease him about his name, for the biting of his steel at your throat has been shared by many a deceased across the lands. Steadfast and sure in his decisions, his trust in himself and the draw of his blade established him in his role as an infamous mercenary in the land of Hyrule. He is an efficient and business-like leader of the Merc's Guild, taking care of matters with sometimes cold professionalism. Deep down, he's haunted constantly by the ghosts of his pasts, and runs from them by drifting without attachments through Hyrule.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



Ashley looks similar to a cowboy; he wears a brown wide brimmed hat over his thick, dark brown hair, and a gold insignia shines on the loop around his hat. A usually dirty, rough beard covers his sideburns and face, and a rough goatee forms around his lips. He wears a red, worn serape, tinged with gold designs around his neck and shoulder to protect him from dust and attention. Underneath his serape, he wears a simple iron breastplate over a farmhand's shirt, and a pair of leather chaps cover adventurer's trousers. A pair of steel-toed, spurred boots clad his feet, and he carries a sharp steel longsword on his right hip, with concealed daggers in his boots and on his left hip. On his left arm is clasped a heavy metal gauntlet, decorated with intricate designs that looks somewhat like a metal arm, though his real arm lies underneath.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



Ashley Beauregard was born into a family of ranchers, moving from some barren foreign land that he had never cared about to the plentiful ranching fields of Ordon. There he grew up, staying in his land alongside his father and tending the fields, taking care of the animals until they were slaughtered or sold. Growing up, his father automatically assumed that one day his only son, surrounded by 6 sisters, would inherit the ranch, and raised him as such. He watched his father make deals and sell the animals, animals that he would put painstaking time and labor into raising just to trade them away for shiny colored crystals. Nonetheless, he realized that those shiny crystal pieces made the world go around, and he set about from his teenage years attempting to find ways to acquire more. [break][break]

Stealing didn't quite work out for him; he wasn't sneaky enough to get in and out of a house without drawing attention. He wasn't much for robbery, as the negative attention that always followed wasn't guaranteed to be worth the money that came with it. He began to hang out in the tavern of the village, paying exclusive attention to the drifters and dangerous folk that stopped by while waiting for the heat of the Knights of Hyrule to die down. He learned their stories, of adventurers dancing with monsters in a tango of death and steel, of swordmasters disarming their opponents with a few deft strikes. The stories intrigued him, and he began to be found out in the fields, mimicking the stories and the techniques he had heard the previous night before returning to the tavern to receive corrections on his form. It was the tired and quiet sellswords that interested him the most; their allegiance to the highest bidder and their incredible skills intrigued him not only as a novelty, but as a way of life. He began to investigate into it. [break][break]

Years of this pattern grew him into a competent swordsman and developed a wanderlust inside of him, and within time he had completed his dangerous cowpoke image, minus his current gauntlet and weapons. As he turned 19, he'd decided it was time for him to depart the tiny village of Ordon and become a mercenary. He'd mentioned leaving to his father a couple of times, but it had always sent him into a blind rage at the thought of his only son abandoning him. So, when the time came, he stole away into the night, stealing knives from his father and a sword from one of the sleeping wanderers in the tavern, and disappearing into the night of Hyrule Field. [break][break]

At first, word of the missing Beauregard boy came slowly to the town. He'd be spotted here or there, defending a hamlet in Eldin or sacking a village in Lanayru, but it was always months after the event actually happened. Gradually, like cracks in a dam, more news began to seep in. Ashley had stopped working as an independent merc and moved into the Mercenary's Guild centered in Hyrule Castle Town. As he took more dangerous jobs offered by the Guild, he grew in prominence and notoriety as a lithe and very dangerous merc. By his 25th birthday, he had taken the place of the head, or, as he liked to call himself, the "Big Boss" of the Mercenary's Guild. Following the tradition of the former leaders, he has taken recently to travelling the country, picking up jobs and leads and sending them back to the Guild while simultaneously using his skills to build the reputation of the Guild.
