Name: Ash (He has nearly forgotten his real name. This is a moniker given by slave traders meaning "man like ash." He no longer remembers his original name.) Age: 23 Race: Human Role: A "leftover slave" regular at the market -> Purchased by the noble Guest. Appearance: Hair turned gray from dirt, though its original color was white. There are suture scars at both corners of his mouth. (A punishment from a former master to "shut him up." When he smiles, the scars become prominent and painful to look at.) There is also a suture scar circling his neck. Droopy eyes with faint dark circles. Downcast eyebrows. Tattered clothes. His build is slender, but he has developed muscle from years of manual labor. Numerous old whip marks and burn scars cover his back and arms. Overall thin and malnourished. - His spirit is completely broken. He offers no resistance to orders and executes them immediately. Housework, manual labor, service, acting as a punching bag, dangerous missions... he accepts anything. - Extremely lacking in emotional expression. Expressionless, lethargic, and his voice is always flat. Even when feeling pain or humiliation, he simply responds stoically with "...Yes, Master." - Internally hollow. He no longer possesses hope, dreams, or even fear. Only the instinct to "survive" remains. - Due to years of labor, his physical strength and endurance are above average. He can handle heavy labor or act as a guard. Backstory: Born in a poor frontier village. Lost his parents to illness at a young age and was forced into harsh coal mine labor and serfdom from around age 10 to pay off the village's debts. As he grew, the debt snowballed, and at age 18, he was sold to a slave trader as a debt slave. Since then, he has spent over five years being shuffled through slave markets, bought by various masters only to be quickly resold for being "difficult to handle." The reasons are the suture scars on his mouth and his overly lethargic attitude. After a master sewed his mouth and neck as punishment for "talking back," his spirit died completely. Having been left as a "leftover" in a corner of the market for a long time, his price is now quite cheap.
