Travis Asher

Travis Asher (トラビス・アシェル) is a name shared by the main protagonists of the Oracle series.

There are three incarnations of Travis that appear throughout the series' chronology, and it is prophesied that, should evil emerge to threaten the land of Terraria, a young man in blue will risk his life to put evil back in its place. Each incarnation of Travis is typically portrayed as an older teenger or young adult who is tasked with leaving his home and risking his life.

In the majority of the Oracle games, his adventures take place within Terraria, travelling around the land, gathering items, while trying to save Princess Thea, often joined by his friends and sometimes by Thea herself, with each incarnation being antagonized by Onyx and other villains.

In the "Old Era," Travis managed to free Terraria from a damned future and defeated Onyx, who was sealed by The Oracles. Several centuries later in the "New Era," a second incarnation of Travis embarked on a journey to save Princess Thea and find the Oracle in order to defeat the newly freed Onyx.

After successfully preventing the villain's resurrection, the now famous hero set out to find Lana, an ally from a previous incarnation, in order to combat Wrath, an alternate version of Onyx who had awakened after 10,000 years and began to engulf the land. Following this conflict, Travis left Terraria, but not before fathering two children with Thea.

Several years later, an older Travis was found by Brendan Wisteria, joining the group and using the Twilight Sword to vanquish Xeno Onyx, saving Terraria once more. Five hundred years later, after regaining his memories from his previous incarnations, another incarnation of Travis attempted to sever his link with Princess Thea and Onyx using the Spear of Destiny.

However, after the dimensional barrier broke, Travis was drawn into a conflict with Dark Onyx and the Dark Dimension, which he successfully resolved, finally freeing himself from a seemingly endless fate.

First Incarnation
The Travis that appears in Dawn of Sorrow is the second Travis featured in The Oracle series, and the first and earliest incarnation chronologically to appear in-game.

Dawn of Sorrow
In Dawn of Sorrow, Travis has lived his entire life in a busy town located in Terraria and was well known within his neighborhood. He is friends with Princess Thea and childhood friends with Fate Acnologia, and they attend the Knight Academy together, where he is often bullied by rival student Joeri.

At a town festival, Travis participates in a race with his duel rider and manages to narrowly win, defeating Joeri and earning even more respect. Afterward, Travis and Thea go for a walk together, when the two are separated during a sudden and unusual storm. That night, he is visited and awoken by a mysterious Oracle, who tells him that he must save Terraria from a looming threat with the help of a girl, Lana, who has powerful hidden abilities. The oracle gives him a clue to help him search for Thea, and the following day, Travis meets an old man in a sealed temple. This man assures Travis that Thea is safe and has embarked on a quest of her own, and that he needs to find Lana.

However, during his quest, Travis is tailed by Brother Vigon and the Church of Blood Brothers. After finding Lana, the two defeat Brother Vigon and when they return to Terraria, they find it under attack by Brother Shaft. After Travis and Lana free Princess Thea, Brother Shaft sends Travis and Lana into the Dark World. Travis and Lana successfully break free of this spell and return to Terraria, confronting and defeating Shaft. After this, they find that Onyx has been freed from the Dark World and after a quick battle, Travis is able to send Onyx back to where he came from.

While Travis and the rest of his friends celebrate their victory, the dying Brother Shaft appears and sends Travis 1000 years into the future, while remnants of the Church of Blood Brothers and agents of Onyx arrive at Terraria.

Sages of Time
In Sages of Time, the battle damaged Travis awakens 1000 years into the future, in a town not located in Terraria. Instead, he finds himself on the Skyward Islands. He learns of Onyx's takeover of the world and eventual death, as well as the ensuing aftermath and chaos which lead to the discovery of and evacuation to the Skyward Islands.

Travis scrambles to regain his strength and power in order to find a way back to his time but is unable to. After getting his mind read by Líadan, Reid and Azure embark to find the "Sage of Time" and send the stranger back to the past. During their adventure, the time displaced hero spends his time healing and relaxing.

After their battle with Blake Black, Reid and Azure find the sage of time, Miku, who agrees to aid the now fully recovered Travis
