Yo, my name's Ash... Ash Fanrico. I got that name from Ash from the Evil Dead series and the last name from a random character i had made two years before joining RPGWW. Which was a month or so i think before Archmage.
I was involved in the first successfully completed rp on RPGWW, which is no small feat considering it almost up and died several times due to the fact that nobody was very good at rping at that time and seemed everyone wanted to make the rp something else.
I also was around during the huge fanstuff flood bout almost a year back. Was one of the most frequent fan-artists and earned the title of Fan-stuff making wombat, due to the fact I made the most fan comics and still hold the title, more or less (though it doesn't matter much anymore). I'm an avid spriter of all types, be it Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, MegaMan, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, King of Fighters, Metal Slug, etc. I have a reputation for making some pretty original edits, like a Chocobo-Drawn Cart, etc. I'm not that bad of an artist either, just have trouble finishing pics i start.
I mostly rp now, but have been known to pop back in with new comics, sprites (mostly these), art, etc.
I'm pretty generally kind to all newbies, willing to give them a chance to become a part of the groups and rp. I only really hate those who try to bring in characters that are overly powered, god-like, etc. Also hate dumb questions, you ask a dumb question, expect a dumb or sarcastic answer. Also hate "one hit runners" or those who post a bit then leave, usually after getting their wanted sprites, art, etc.
I chat as much as I can and have been known to frequently get into fights over small things or get angry at assholes or people who are acting in such a way. But I'm generally mellow and try my best to have a good time and make lotsa mildly funny or offensive jokes.
I have many characters, too many at times.
Ash Fanrico- My main character and one of the original true rp characters (since the rp he was first in got finished), He's a warrior swordsman who died 2 centuries ago and was brought back for unknown reasons. Noble, and generally heroic. He used to wield a large broom while he was saving up for a better weapon. Though with Ash, just about any object can be deadly or harmful in his hands. He's seen mostly hanging out in bars, but lives up in a reserved room at the Kotoki's Bar & Inn, he rents it out to the owners. Though right now it's in major need of repair due to a recent battle with a large monster.
Merr- A large (about 7-8 feet tall), black skinned demon who was Ash's last battle (both died in the end), but seems he too has returned, but not by the same means. He generally lurks in Hell, training and biding his time for a rematch. Though he does make appearances "Topside" occaisionally, he tends to like to stay on the sidelines most of the time. But hard to stay anonymous when you're as tall and wide as him and very noticeable. One tough sonuvabitch, due to his thick skin.
Dark Fanrico- The evil demonic Kopii(copy) of Ash, made from a ritual that was meant to revive an entity known as Darkblade. He is created from the old heart of Ash (the dead body from 2 centuries ago), and a baptism by hellfire. He first sought godhood (*-See the Hit), but was defeated. Though thought dead, he surprisingly came back and was now a Demon Huntsmen (one of the highest ranks for his kind in Hell). He's very easily angered, has a short fuse and general hellraiser. He was involved, infact a main player in Hell's Campaign against the Drow Amana, and her rituals and summons that disrupt things and cause problems. He had a girlfriend at one time, though recently she's dumped him, which only fuels his anger and new depression. He's made many appearances at the various bars, and is frequently exstinguished. Though, strangely, he hasn't appeared much these days at all.
Remarte'- Another Demon Huntsmen, who made his presence known during the Drow Campaign. He then met a girl named Diikoi, who's feelings and kindness touched him. He fell in love with her, though she doesn't realize it. This caused him to leave Hell, since he was tired of it and the humiliation he was suffering cause of his defeats in the Drow Campaign. Thus he's now a Demonic Outcast, and is trying to find the courage to talk to the girl he loves, while frequently travelling. He now has a wolf puppy for a companion, one which he saved from a monster after the creature made short work of the pup's mother. He's an extremely skilled archer, one of the best.
Grom- An orc from GwaAAG. Not that interested in fighting and battles, more interested in drinking. Kind and gentle hearted most of the time. Wields a large axe and a knapsack full of various items he trades. Likes to eat raw rabbits. Can be found in any kind of bar most of the time.
Lennix Oakenhammer- A dwarf from near Riva. Kind hearted soul who means no harm. Weilds one of the most finely crafted dwarven axes in Gaera. Has a whiskey flask he drinks from at times. Can craft and forge weapons when paid well enough.
Cathare- A necromancer, one of the best in his field. Was one of Ash's original foes 2 centuries ago. But was banished to the X-Zone. Has returned, but is not that well off, since he now looks like a walking corpse. Can summon forth any type of plague or demon he can think of. Rumored to have written the forbidden Daemon Maker spell. Wears a large hooded cloak and skulks around towns between Doma and Riva. May try to retrieve his old book as well.
Shadow Spies- Little creatures made by Cathare to gather information for him in towns he's either left or yet to arrive to. They lurk in shadows, but their large bulbous eyes give them away. They resemble the regular Heartless from Kingdom Hearts, cept they don't share the same powers and don't have those little ear things. Very timid and paranoid little creatures, easily scared by even moogles.
Christydia Roa Tulmos- Beloved of Ash's, and an accomplished red mage. She's very gentle and very loving. Just wishes Ash would spend more time with her, even harbors wishes of marriage between them.
Dante- An evil swordsman who wields the Obanaga Blade, the brother sword to Ash's old Otranaka Blade (the blade he wielded last during his battle with Merr, now can't find it). Challenged Ash months ago, bested him, but Ash returned and defeated him. Ash showed mercy and let the bastard go.
Kayne- The demon god of Hell, shares the place with his brother, Raj, the god of Hell.
OTHERS
Kenneth "Blackhart" Creed- (Sky Sailors) A mercenary/bounty hunter and former sky pirate. Very good at what he does. So good, people tell tall tales of him and his reputation is known almost everywhere. A great sword fighter, but prefers to let his pistols and rifles do the talking for him in battle.
Markus-(Dark Future world) A reputed Hunter of the creatures of the dark. He's a non-establishment Hunter, so gets lots of requests & jobs from civilians. Large collector of weaponry, mostly guns and automatic weapons. Has the uncanny ability to almost sense when a monster or shadow creature is near, or if a person is in fact one of them. Very pessimistic, and has a very nasty outlook on life. His reasons for what he is has yet to be told.
Axel- (Dark Future world) A biker who hides a dark secret. He is cursed to become a werewolf in a full moon or when extremely angered. Very easy-going and mellow, but paranoid of the night.
HARBINGER- (Dark Future world) A government test gone wrong. It was meant to give soldiers or certain officials, the ability to heal any wound recieved, cept decapatation or full body dismemberment. The experiment went wrong and what emerged, after slaughtering all those in the lab, was an almost unstoppable killing machine. He dons a metallic mask, which some joked as it looked like a Hockey Mask almost. He wields a large cutting tool, most likely from the lab. He has no independent thoughts except the word "Kill" running through his head. He now prowls the sewers at day and the streets at dark. He's left a trail of bodies ever since he escaped from the lab. Any and all wounds, burns, cuts, bullet holes, etc. heal within an hour or two.
Watts- A Stump (the DF version of a Dwarf), and like all Stumps, has a great knowledge and understanding of all machinery. Can make just about anything, can upgrade weapons and customize them for users. He collects any kind of electronics he can find. He doesn't charge much either, only ten-twenty dollars, so he can eat and possibly buy some clothes for himself. Very nice little bugger. Lives in a warehouse.
"Gojira" Joe- A were-lizard halfling at birth, giving him much more control over his beast form when transformed, and the ability to shift into it whenever he feels it necessary. He got his nickname, which is based on a certain giant radioactive lizard, from his incredibly short fuse. He has a bad temper. Loves video games and comic books. Can be found in Were-Creature clubs and bars.
More to come when i have the time.
