Full Name: Ashtain Julian Wirgau
Nickname: Ash
Age: 27
Birth Date: July 23, 1986
Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan
Hometown: Really doesn't have one.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Marital Status: Single, not really looking.
Race: Human
Ethnicity: German, Irish, and French.
Appearance:
Ash
Ash has medium length sooty black hair, and keeps his bangs swept over to the right side. He has deep green eyes and is farsighted, meaning he can see well far away but not up close. He has to use reading glasses when reading, but prefers not to a lot of the time. He's also rather tall, about 6'9, and has a small compact body. He is very pale, almost snow white and doesn't tan well. Ash doesn't care too much what he wears as long as it's comfortable. His clothing typically consists of beanie hats, hoodies and blazers, his favorite bandanna and fingerless gloves, t-shirts and tank tops, loose jeans and baggy pants, military style boots and tennis shoes, and some jewelry (he has an orange and black swirled tongue piercing, a Prince Albert piercing, and a few chain necklaces).
Personality: Ash comes off as cold and uncaring, and would rather be perceived that way. He is more of a loner, not caring much for friends but doesn't mind the occasional small talk. On the flip side, he is actually very accepting, it just takes a lot to impress him. He is rather intelligent, he's almost always lost in thought and it doesn't take him long to figure out things as he is a fast learner. Ash is very sarcastic, so much so that it's hard to tell when he's actually being serious or not; he never really says what he means unless it's with someone close to him. He has a weird sense of humor, and will more than likely laugh if the joke's on someone else. He can be argumentative as he almost always has to be right, and never likes to admit when he's wrong. He's also a very determined and dedicated person, he'll do whatever it takes to get something done as long as it's something he wants/will be beneficial to him. He's self centered and has this idea in his head where he doesn't believe anyone will really ever care for him so he focuses a lot of his energy pushing most people away. He's also self reliant and independent, not liking to rely on others for help or accepting it either; it's rare for him to be seen going out of his way to help someone else as he believes everyone can help themselves. Emotionally, he's not a very open person or even comfortable with his own feelings; he'd rather pass off the concern over him onto someone or something else. He views them to be weak and worthless so he usually keeps them hidden, those who are close to him can usually tell when something's off with him.
Likes: Reading, orange, blue, black, napping, jogging, swimming, being right, being in control (of himself or others), fireplaces, cool days, thunderstorms, rain, chess, violent video games, red hair, himself, being alone, getting what he wants, getting free stuff, checkers, card games, beer, being able to be himself, military stuff, lions/cats (he's a leo, and likes cats because of their independent nature)
Dislikes: Being wrong, being pranked/tricked, being teased, not getting what he wants, feeling under appreciated, blonde hair, losing control (of himself or others), warm/humid days, being lazy (contrary to belief), having nothing to do, being around too many people for too long, cartoons, art in general, his father Ini (though their relationship is complicated because Ash loves him despite everything), himself at times, spoiled brats, people who are full of themselves, being called a hypocrite, pink, dogs (they're too clingy to him)
Powers: Dark Energy, telepathy, and telekinesis.
History:
Ash was born in Detroit, Michigan, but doesn't really have a place to call his hometown; his caretaker, Iniquitous, was in the army so they moved around a lot. His mother, Arriana, was never in the picture, and he believes that she's passed onto the next life. He had an all right childhood with a high emphasis placed on education and self discipline; even as a baby, Iniquitous had Ash enrolled in schools designed for infants, though couldn't afford to send him to a private school when he hit elementary school. Ini was rather strict with and critical of him and didn't allow for him to have any friends, claiming that they'd be nothing more than a distraction and obstacle in his path for his success; and Ash eventually adopted the idea that he didn't need anyone else in his life. Long hours of hitting the books rarely left any room for socializing, anyway; and after a while, Ash did grow distant from his Ini. But not for the reason of having to always study even if he was done with his homework.
Due to the circumstances of how Ash came to be, Iniquitous could never really love Ash the way he should've. Ash never really understood why, but it wasn't like his father was ever going to tell him; mostly because he was embarrassed, and just plain didn't want to go through the old memories again. Ash's mother had cheated on him with another man named Julian, but never actually told him. When she realized that Ash looked nothing like Iniquitous, she fled because she couldn't live up to her mistake of her betrayal. At one point, Iniquitous and Julian had been friends and it clicked when he discovered that Ash had green eyes just like Julian's Because of this, Iniquitous began drinking despite having been in the service already, and whenever Ashtain would try to rebel, he would just beat him to shut him up; unexpectedly, Ash would fight back but always lost because he was just a child.
Around the age of twelve, Ash tried to run away and joined a gang for a few months to support himself and was on his own for a couple years; even though he could've just chosen to forget about Ash, Iniquitous tracked down Ash anyway because he had a reputation to uphold and it was making him look bad that he had a missing boy that was supposed to be in his care. And the fighting not only resumed, but escalated--Ash hadn't wanted to come back to live with his supposed father at all, he preferred his life on the streets as opposed to living with someone that always barked orders at him and always found something wrong in with what he did. Ash continued to retaliate whenever Iniquitous would just attack him, and because he was older and had gained some muscle through some odd jobs he'd performed for his old gang, he'd actually managed to win more fights than he had as a weak child.
On Ash's fifteenth birthday, it was time for he and his father to move again, and this time Ini was stationed in New York City around the time he was ready to retire as a Sergeant Major from his twenty years of service in the army. As a result of having a higher income by now, Iniquitous began looking into sending Ashtain into a private school setting so it would look good for whatever college Ash chose. Why his father pushed him so much, Ash never understood, and probably never will. One of Ini's superiors told him about the preparatory school, York School, and he had strings pulled for him to get Ash in. Ash was more than happy to be sent off to York Prep, but made sure not to make himself noticeable to the rest of the student body and only got passing grades to be able to move up to the next year. At the threat of being kicked out though, Ash decided to turn around his academic career for his third year and took an interest swimming and track; two sports in which he didn't have to work with others as a team and could let out the stress of trying to be the top of the school in.
When Ash finally graduated with a 4.0, he was eighteen and legally considered an adult so Iniquitous made the decision to abandon him then; he was no longer his problem. Ash found himself joining back up in a gang and began building up quite the criminal record for himself as he got involved in some serious crimes. It wasn't until when Ash was left for dead by his gang that he realized this was no way to live either and began trying to turn his life around by the age of 25. Two years later, he's still somewhat lost in this world. He's managed to get himself a job as a night time security officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and has been trying to get into law school, and obtain the job he really wants.
