Aiche

## History

#### Awakening

For as long as he could recall, Aiche's life has been wrapped within the warmth of natures embrace. If one were to ask him what was the most impactful moment of his life, it would be the green canopy's of trees above as the sound of birds chirped in his years when he was 'young'. The world was full of beauty and wonderment, and he was able to actualize this long before he learned what it meant to be. Raised among trees the whispering of the wind was his first friend, a squirrel hoarding his nuts for the winter months was his first neighbor, the sun kissing his skin was his kiss.

Nature called out to Aiche with a wordless whisper and knowing nothing else he answered it with near reverence. There was no hesitation, the world had not given him a name. The few worldly possessions he owned, meant next to nothing to him as he could not even comprehend their use. Who ever he was before was gone, never to be mourned. Aiche was born anew as a druid, adored by the spirits of the forest just as he adored them. They helped guide him through his first few years alone as he tread the realm, immersing himself within natures embrace.

### Reacclimating

The fledgling Druid would not find himself alone forever, after a few years alone he had come across a small dwindling tribal village of elves. Sitting on the boarder of a once fledgling nation. Isolation had made his heart yearn for interaction, even if his lips could hardly utter a word without stumbling over themselves. So he eagerly threw all of his effort into assisting his new found friends to bridge the gap where his words could not, earning himself their trust and shoring up his own weaknesses.

But, in what felt like a short time the Druid was alone again. It was a sad departure, but one that he understood none the less. Armed with their wisdom, he continued to journey on once again.

### Dawn Of A New Age

Abadius, year one a dawning of a new age or so it was put. Many celebrated, looking forwards to a new future but for Aiche, it was just another evening. The years had long since ceased to matter to him, the curse of a timeless body, everything was changing yet he stayed the very same. He had traveled from one continent to the next, exploring the paths lesser taken and visiting villages he met along the way. He lended his aid, his wisdom when he could and moved on knowing the next time he might see them it wouldn't be the same faces. If he made his rounds quickly, maybe it would be the alderman's boy all grown up, taking the reigns of leadership. Or maybe, pestilence and war would tear through the village. He was not one to pay any heed to such news, at least not in the past.

When the invasion of Scum began to manifest itself on the shores of the twin continents the Druid had woken from his neutrality and actively took part in holding back, the tides of chaos as one may call them.

And during this time, he had met quite a number of people. Some dear, others he wished to tug on their ears. He felt that spark that he had once with those druids oh so long ago. Loathed he would be to lose them all again.

## Aiche, Minister of the Exchequer

Aiche had never desired a position of power in his life, yet when the opportunity was thrust towards him by a fellow well trusted friend. He couldn't turn it down after some, lengthy, negotiation. Today Aiche can be found in the Fledgling Kingdom of Ithica , working as their humble Minister of the Exchequer, or as other Kingdoms like to coin it, Treasurer.

He found it to be quite the unsuited position for his talents, but over time he has found that weighing coins and calculating numbers does much to keep his aging mind sharp. Additionally, it gives him much sway when it comes towards more ecological solutions.

It pains his heart so, to hear of a new project that levels a forest, or quarries stone from the earth. But, for civilization it is a necessary evil.

Currently Aiche Resides in the finest upturned pot in the capital of Ithica, retiring every night at 11pm only to wake on the morrow at a late 1AM.

## Personality

Seemingly placid, Aiche's face doesn't often betray much emotion unless under extreme duress. He see's the world in a spiritual yet logical way, everything natural has its place they need only find it.. Though he does recognize some nuisances that need to occasionally be culled, such as those who ruin the land or gorge themselves needlessly on a prey that is not their primary source.

Aiche acts much older than his appearance would otherwise suggest, leaning himself against his cane and straining to stand up to his feet despite there being no true ailment plaguing him. A learned habit perhaps? He himself doesn't know when and where he picked it up himself. It had simply become tradition to him, although not immediately important Aiche treasures his traditions and will hardly sway from them. This only increases the view that Aiche is an old man in a young mans body, who often uses two fancy words where one may suffice.

The druid also suffers from a deteriorating memory and may occasionally forget both names and faces if not events and years entirely.

## People in Aiche's life

* Briar: The first person who he ever took on as his disciple, she has become overly cheeky and Aiche is unsure where she got that from.
* Ro'Kara Stormcaller: A half orc Shaman Aiche has recently brought under his wing, beginning to teach her the path of Druidism.
* Eugene: A druid and kindred spirit even if they focus upon opposite ends of their respected duties.
* Summer & Winter: A dynamic duo of twins who makes up a portion of the Council of Briar, he often finds himself acting as a Grand father figure for them
* Bubbling Brews: A good ally in Aiche's eyes, bearing a good handful of Morals.
* Ulysess: A comrade in arms Aiche has never had any qualms with, he wouldn't classify the man as a friend but he wouldn't be opposed if such a development occurred.
* Kain: Wasn't a friend, wasn't someone he knew well. Just someone he let die.
* Johnny: Although the Cowboy is hailed as a hero for his borderline suicidal tactics, Aiche see's the man as a danger to both himself and the world after the man had carelessly set a forest ablaze.

## Fighting Style

Aiche had never considered himself a combatant, his body had a balance of strength and dexterity but not nearly enough to make a name for himself with blade or arrow. His strength lies with his ties in nature, his deep insights and his talent in the manipulation of the energies that surround him. He is a healer first and foremost, tending to the wounds of his allies, but in recent times he appears to have lost his taste for being a passive observer and has peered across the path he walked upon. The inverse of his talents, Negative energy and decay. It came easy to the druid, but alas this is a rare occurrence for him still as his hand eye coordination could be called lacking.
