[. Appearance .]
Standing at 5ft9, you can say that Ash is just about the average height for a male. Yet his skinny figure might give you the impression he’s taller than that. He doesn’t look like a guy with muscles, but beware, he’s stronger than he looks. And he enjoys it to see people’s faces when they realise they have made a mistake by judging him by his looks. If you’re a person that tends to do that, you’ll probably see someone of the dark alliance, who is depressed all the time, doesn’t care about others’ feelings, and worships satan. You couldn’t be more wrong. Even though this boy is always dressed in black, more or less baggy clothes, has got hair that of a length that ranges between four and eight inches, has a lower lip snake bite and a septum; and looks extremely pale most of the time – he is a nice guy, really. It looks like colours run away from him – from the way he dresses, to the way he is.
[. Personality .]
As mentioned before, Ash is quite a nice guy. He likes to laugh, be rebellious, have fun, play pranks, and what not. But, sometimes needs time to be alone, and think about things that might not seem important at first sight. Nature, for example. He’s also a wonder kid. He gets good grades at school, can play multiple instruments – piano, guitar [acoustic and electric] and drums – and he can actually cook and do the household. But he’s curious, very curious, and can have a big mouth. Yet he usually knows when to shut up, and is willing to listen to anyone at any time. He doesn’t like to give advice though, as mostly, when he tries to help someone, it will go wrong. So he will just listen, and try to cheer you up.
He strongly dislikes show-offs, snobs, r&b, and a lot more. On the other hand, he loves his friends, listening to music, drawing, his horse, and also a lot more.
[. History .]
Ash was born in Germany. His parents weren’t extremely rich, but they were far from poor too. His father has always been a sales director in the computer branche, his mother a secretary. Not long after Ash’s seventh birthday, his dad got offered a job he just couldn’t refuse. They had to move though, but the small family had no problems with that. About a year after they had left Germany behind, his mother had an accident. She survived, but would never be able to use her left arm and leg again. It was a shock to both Ash and his father, but eventually they accepted it and adjusted to it. His father kept on working and earning money, while Ash now took care of the household, as his father had to travel a lot, and wasn’t home that often.
Meanwhile, there was his social life. He hasn’t always been the way he is now. In primary school he would always hang out with the boys who were like him, but after a while, he started thinking of them as boring. When he went to high school, he left most of his old friends behind, as they went to another school. He made new friends, Jacob – currently his best friend – being one of them. Influenced by them, Ash changed his style, and lived a life he enjoyed way more than his ‘past’ one. He got introduced to alcohol, and drugs, but nothing too bad, and he never went overboard with it. He knows his limits.
In his senior year of high school, he met a girl called Saffron. It was quite the girl, for first she made him hate her. Then, they became friends. Then, more. But one day, she disappeared. As he had gotten his driver's licence by now, and had saved enough money throughout the years - his parents not being the poorest around either - Ash didn't need anyone's help to leave his elderly home, and start his search for the girl he loved.
