***OOC - my char... hmm, a name a name.. ok, Ailurin (elfish dnd name I use occasionally - means "silver noble" if you must know [img]tongue.gif[/img] still, that’s kinda besides the point) - an Asha'man, warder to Ladisha.

Character info -
Ailurin is youngish, a guess would reveal his age to be from 17 to 20 - in truth only his Aes Sedai knows his age. The irrony is, he doesn't know hers, and thinks because of her agelessness - she's older then she actually is - if you look at Lb's post, you'll know that she's quite young... Ailurin is not old enough to have developed any "agelessness" and now Saidin is clean, he no longer has to live in fear of going mad...
He respects his Aes Sedai greatly, and lets her guide him - in most things. However, like all Asha'man/Aes Sedai bonds, she cannot compel him... so far this has not proved a problem...
He served under the H'mael - as a Asha'man, having progressed quickly though the ranks - he's fairly powerful, equal in all five powers; but not as strong as some of the other Asha'man who specialize in specific powers. Wounded during a battle, the only way to save him was to be bonded to an Aes Sedai...
Ladisha seeing an opportunity to gain a powerful warder, who in time, his powers could match her own, bonded him. He serves her faithfully; no-one from his former life knows he actually lives, assuming he perished. Ladisha wishes to keep it that way.

Appearance wise, he's tallish, just under 6', 5'98 to be precise; has raven/jet black hair; his skin is slightly tanned, but not overly so. His body structure is slender - as is his bone structure. He still has his Asha'man icons and clothing, but rarely displays the icons - save the gold and red dragon - this he has a twin two; unheard of in Asha'man ranks - he wears these on his collar, one either side. He also wears the Aes Sedai symbol - surrounded by a blue trim, on the centre of his collar, indicating his alliegence to the Aes Sedai and the blue Ajah...
He usually wears the standard Asha'man uniform with a few modifications - rather then display any silver - he has dragons sewn into the arms of his coat - black embroided dragons - so unless one was to look closely, they would not see them. Apart from that and the dragons on his collar, no-one would know his allegiance to the Dragon. He also has a black travelling cloak, which hides most of the uniform - and covers him down to his feet. He also has a black war-stallion, and he is becoming master with the blade - nowhere near as good as the Dragon, but well enough for his needs. He has no items of power, (angreal, tar'angreal (or however its spelt..)) and his only possesions are his sword, some money, his warhorse, clothes, basic travelling equipment (including waterskins) and whatever his Aes Sedai feels he needs.***

Sensing his Aes Sedai was a little peeved, Ailurin silently, with curiousity asked down the bond what was wrong. He asked if they'd be leaving again so soon after they arrived. He sighed knowing that it was useless unless she wanted him to know something, she wouldn't tell him, and only silence would greet his request for knowledge. He felt that she might do that now - or if she was busy, she ignored him altogether. He shrugged inwardly, sometimes she did that just to keep him, in what she considered, his place. It's not like he was ever rude to her. He chuckled aloud at the thought.

Several people glanced at this tall, black clad figure and made the sign against evil.

If he ever was rude to his Aes Sedai, he wouldn't be surprised if she tried to take a switch to him. After all, compared to her, he was barely a child, an infant. He shook his head with wry amusement, and headed to an inn. Arriving there, he ordered a dring - wine. He sipped it and made a face. 'Cheap wine, typical of an establisment like this - and when I'd asked for their best.'. he thought in disgust. Obviously they didn't trust him, even though he displayed no signs of being an Asha'man - not wise to do so, so close to the tower... even his Aes Sedai might not be able to protect him - 'no he thought best to stay out of sight and meet her later'.
"Barkeeper!" he said aloud "I asked for some decent wine - heres one gold piece, now go and fetch me your best, in case you hadn't heard me the last time." He was still disgusted at the half fear and half awe these idiots treated him with, he was only a warder after all, its not like they hadn't seen one before. But what they saw - he couldn't see - the grim light in his eyes, not dread nor fear, but a wariness, that produced an arua around the man. He appeared on edge - even for a warder, whos abilities were almost legendary...
