Lelena Warde

Lelena Warde is one of the few Inexians to marry a human. She has no interest in Viscount Cevere Warde, she finds him controlling and rather domineering, however she stays with him because he offers her what her family cannot. Freedom. After her dear husband found out that he cannot control her, he allows Lelena to do as she mostly pleases, as long as it does not ruin the Warde's reputation.

While Lelena does not love her husband, she adores and dotes upon her child, Valentine. She often covers for them whenever they want to sneak out and do something "fun". Lelena sees Valentine as the greatest thing about her current life, and she is their greatest confidant.

All in all, while Lelena's life may not be perfect, it is more than satisfactory for her.

Lore: Inexian Issues

I think one of the most glaring issues of the Inexia would be the marital system. They're very advanced, but they're also very old. While most of the society may choose to embrace change as it comes, it also has old fashioned values instilled. I think if you're of Inexian Nobility, anyone you befriend would have to be approved by both parents. The princess and her knight were acquainted via the princess's parents, though they're required to maintain a professional relationship because he is of "lower status". "Friends" amongst Inexian nobility are not rare, but are definitely not common, at least the true kind. Most nobility bonds are formed by the parents introducing the children and allowing a sort of shaky alliance to be formed. Though, not is all as it seems. The idea of Inexian society is idyllic, almost utopian. It's too perfect, and there are definitely snakes hidden in the grass.

Valentine Warde

Valentine Warde is the child of Viscount Ceveré Warde. The Viscount has very high expectations for his child, expecting excellence from all they do. Valentine's mother, Lelena, is far gentler, encouraging her child to do what pleases them. Valentine does what their father expects of them, and yet also follows their mother's advice. Excelling in any subject they set their mind to, yet also having to maintain a very delicate balancing act to please their domineering father, always maintaining a placid expression around him. Valentine, themself, enjoys the pursuit of magic. A half Inexian themself, they excel in magic of the world, a true prodigy. They are popular, charismatic, and very friendly. However, nothing is truly as it seems, is it? Valentine is almost too agreeable, too likable. Look close enough, and you can see the tiredness in their usually vibrant eyes, you can see the cracks in their mask beginning to form. Is who they present themself as truly who they are? Do they even know who they are?

Lore Update: Elves

The Elves mentioned in the previous version will now be referred to as Inexia from now on! The lore of the Elves felt incredibly boring to me, so I wanted to create something more diverse and creative!

The Inexia are beings with a natural talent to control the energy that surrounds them, rooted in the very earth they walk upon. It gives them extremely long lives, meaning their lives are greatly extended, and thus their technology is very advanced. Ill be expanding more on the lore in the days to come!

Much love, Shuu <3

First Update of 2022! Hopefully the first of many more

So, finally things have somewhat settled down in my personal life! I finally have the motivation to try to re-write things in Ash & Memory only to realize that I needed to spend a LOT more time worldbuilding before I started writing.

S0, Ash & Memory will be getting an overhaul! I plan on keeping most of the characters the same, so you can all still enjoy them, and any worldbuilding stuff or art I do will be put here!

Also if you have any asks, feel free to send them in! I always love answering asks <3

It's really nice to be back! :D

Thank you so much anon! I wish the best for you as well, thank you for taking the time out of your day to send such a lovely message <3

Um, hi. It's been a while, and I definitely owe an explanation on not only why I disappeared, but what's going to happen in the future. I started Ash & Memory when I was in a very good point in my life, and... shortly after, everything changed for me. I moved from one toxic household to another, I discovered I likely have OSDD and am part of a system, my anxiety and depression spiraled, and I lost focus. I'm still in a not good point and I'm not up to development right now. This is no excuse for disappearing, at all. I've debated dropping this project all together, but I'm not going to. This concept is my baby, I'm not going to just drop it.

So, I'm going on a hiatus. I don't know how long.

Now, onto what's going to happen. Development will not stop completely, like I said, I'm not dropping the project. I think I just need time to heal. I will still be answering asks, I will still look at messages, I may still occasionally post stories! Worldbuilding kinds of things. But I can't work on coding for right now. Again, I am so sorry to everyone. But this isn't the end.

Update 03/15/2021

Hey everyone! Shuu here for an early (or late) update! 

First things first, new program! I was originally using Twine to do things, since it had seemed the easiest at the time. Well, I got an upgrade and it is making things so much smoother! I’ve decided to run things on Ren’Py instead! (Idea courtesy of the lovely @iorifd I didn’t know you could make IF on Ren’Py!) got a small amount of the demo coded already, and it already works so much smoother than Twine! I’m really excited to see how much faster I can do things, since Ren’Py is a lot easier for me to use :)

That’s all for now! See you soon~ -Shuu

Hi, Im still here!

Hey everyone! Sorry I took such a long break away, theres been a lot going on in my personal life that has taken up most, if not all, of my energy. That doesn’t mean I havent been working though! I’m still slowly but surely working on a demo. Unfortunately, due to a lot of things going on in my personal life, I havent gotten as much done as I wanted to. I’m still probably going to be working slow at the moment, but I plan to work harder in the future! So, hopefully I can make that work ^^

Update 2/13/2021

Hey everyone! Shuu here for this week’s incredibly belated update.

So, I’ve been incredibly busy in my personal life, I have recently moved house, am having wifi connection issues, I m now in school again, and I have a part time job now as well.

But that does not mean that I was not working on Ash & Memory stuff! I was working on writing and also looking into places to put the demo, when it does come out! Im so sorry for not being around so often, but I promise to communicate more in the future.

This coming week, I plan to get one branch of the demo coded. I hope to finish it in the coming weeks and get it tested a bit before releasing it.

Update 01/25/2021

Hey guys! Shuu here for this week’s update! Sorry I’ve been so late getting updates out.

This week, I was mostly working on commissions and getting ready for school, since my semester starts in a few days!

Next week, I plan on writing some more, getting some more concept art done, and working on writing.

Sorry this update is so short! -Shuu

Let's say mc has to go on a trip for something and it'll be a few weeks. So mc suggests to the ros that they buy each other stuffed animals so that they both have something to cuddle while the mc is away.

Awww that’s so cute!

Lecia would have receive something mythical, like a unicorn or an alicorn. She’d get something cute, like a normal stuffed rabbit for MC, or someone else.

Misha would absolutely receive a stuffed bear, and would probably get something like that for MC. 

Amphelice/Aaron would receive something pretty cute, like a stuffed kitten, and get very upset if it disappears. They’d probably get something like a colorful, mystical looking stuffed animal for MC.

Lynx would love a stuffed bird! As for what they’d give, they’d probably give something like a stuffed woodland animal, maybe a squirrel.

Valentine would receive something very regal looking, whatever that may be. He would likely choose something similar in turn, maybe an eagle or a pegasus.

Aeron would receive a stuffed owl, something old and wise looking. Aeron would probably buy a colorful, shiny plushie, no matter what the animal is, to give to MC.

[ashandmemorygame]

🌺

For the ask game :)

Lecia: Lecia likes to take a walk around the palace, preferably at night. Misha does usually join her if he finds her out there alone. Her special comfort item is a blanket her mother made her when she was a baby, it’s very soft and she still sleeps with it on her bed, many years later. She occasionally needs reassurance, and often relies on Misha (or anyone else *wink*) to help with that. Misha: Misha typically goes to the training grounds or the palace gardens. He usually ends up there alone, but doesn’t mind someone being there to comfort him, as long as it was the right person. A comfort item for him is his parents’ wedding rings. They were both given to him after his parents passed, and he wears them on a chain around his neck. Lynx: They don’t sleep, and thus, don’t dream very often, but if something them is troubling them, they talk to the other Fae around, even the plants and animals! Their favorite (though they’d never say it) is a wise old tree spirit that always offered the best advice, and a branch to cry on, should they need it. Amphelice/Aaron: A would likely sit in their room, sketching something to calm down. They tend to sketch or write out what they dream, it helps calm them from any bad dreams.

Ko-Fi!

I looked into Ko-Fi as a way to do writing commissions and as an alternative to Patreon, and I now have it set up! Donations are absolutely not required, but I thought it would be a good idea to set up, since I’ve been struggling to work on Patreon content for months. So I’m going to set up commission descriptions and rules.

The link is https://ko-fi.com/ashandmemory

Commissions Will Be: -Letters from any Ash & Memory character -Scenarios with any Ash & Memory character -Background stories for any Ash & Memory character

NSFW writing commissions are accepted, but you must be 18 years of age to commission NSFW writing.

That’s really it, I will add more information and expand what can be commissioned as I go, mostly because I am just starting this up. Prices will be kept fairly low, my price is set at $5, since I consider that fair.

Thank you guys for continually supporting me and my dream <3 -Shuu 

Edit: I just realized I didn’t put the link in this post. That has been fixed.

Hello everyone! Shuu here with this week’s update!

I spent the majority of the week working on some Chibi/Concept art for the LIs, which I will be posting today along with the update, and I’ll be posting any concept art I make along the way! This is just how I interpret the characters though, since I still want to leave most things up for interpretation!

This coming week, I plan on getting more concept art done and taking a break from writing for a few days :)

See you guys soon -Shuu
