Hey
everyone!
My friends started a Wheel of Time game about
a month ago, and I decided to play a Male Wilder. Well,
everything was going along alright and we all got up to level
2, when a few more friends of ours decided to join the game
with one of the them deciding to play a Female channeler with
a level of Wilder and a level of Initiate. Now, my ambition is
for my character to eventually become an Asha'man, while the
female channeler wants to become an Aes Sedai. Now, I'm
wondering, is there any legitimate way that our two
characters, once they obtain these prestige classes, can
actually adventure together without....well....killing each
other? ^_^

YES they
could adventure together.
However certain agreements
would at a minimum probably need to be met.
1) as
players you sort of both have to agree that neither of you are
going to try to kill each other off. Then simply invent in
game (with DM help/approval) circumstances that will allow
your characters to work together.
ideas could include a
brown sister wanting to track the progress of tain in a man, a
white sister wanting to understand how the taint and madness
effected a males ability to reason, a blue could support the
Dragon Reborn Rand and choose to support one of his Ashaman, a
Green could assume that the Last Battle draws near and an
Ashaman would make a good warder, a grey could seek to
establish some sort of formal NON HOSTILE relationship between
male and female channelers and so try to help the Ashaman, the
Yellow could be seeking to understand Healing weaves better
through understanding the male side, and a red could arguably
use the Ashaman to betray his comrades or those male
channelers who are actuall insane.
The Ashaman could
seek the company of an Aes Sedai to learn, not the HOW but
what is possible ie most normal people and therefore wilders
probably have never heard of shielding, but once they know it
is possible, then could figure it out. An ashaman could
also fear going mad and so have the Aes sedai around to help
ward off the madness, or at least restrain him when things go
really bad.
etc
-------------------- I was
once in the Blight, it was there that strange memories came to
me of times and places that I could not have possibly
experienced. I went to visit an Aes Sedai to ask what was
wrong with me. It was there that I learned the Truth...
That I had in a previous life been Nae'blis'... Chief

How about
having the Asha'man bonding the Aes Sedai against her will
initially, but then have a friendship blossom between
them.
Emotions are funny things.
The only
Accepted in our group (a group of 8 characters) is QUITE fond
of the only male Wilder in the group - and is also the only
one in character to start suspecting what he really is.
Interesting times ahead.
(I suspect she'll bond him as a Warder
before he gets anywhere near Asha'man status though...)

It really
comes down to you, the pc's.How you roleplay your characters
and such. It is quite likely that both characters grew up with
a severe prejudice for one another. Nearly all have come to
distrust the powerful secretive, and manipulative aes sedai.
And anyone with a half decent upbringing has learned to fear
the male half of the one power, the force that broke the world
it self. But maybe your characters can see past legend and
story and make their own decision. ok that was long winded
and not helpful but basically as i said, it depends on what
kind of character you are
playing.

oops! in my
stupidly inane speech dealie i somehow managed to forget to
really answer the question. The answer being yes, if you care
more about the group working well and not slowing things down
(or blowing them up!) but if your stuck on playing your
character to a tee then it might not be feasable, although
your characters knew eachother before becoming aes sedai or
ashaman......
once again you'll have to forgive me,
knowing people might actually read what i say puts me into a
bit of a powertrip.....or something......yeah im
done
