Name: Ashton Stormwill
Nicknames: Crash (for his once-famous catchphrase), That big guy, Oh s**t he's coming
Age: 17
Birthday: June 3rd
Sign: Gemini
Blood Type: B+
Fav. Food: apples. Cheesesteak.
Hated Food: salad. That's about it, he will gladly eat anything else.
School: Hillworth.
Hobbies: Baseball - Now that's a sport he excels at! Not for pussies, and you get to hit things. There's the hope that jock assimilates the true team spirit of that game and grows up to be a known athlete. So far, he's been on the right track, and shows a good spirit of initiative. May or may not have been training with a wooden plank and a
victim's calculator.
Rock music - A
secret love of his. His singing skills are decent but not stellar, and he couldn't play the guitar if his life depended on it. Nonetheless, he enjoys listening to it. Ashton is very disappointed by the lack of proper concerts in Destiny City, especially since security has become a big issue, but he deals with it with an occasionnal practice of inspired air guitar. He knows his classics. Just don't look at him funny for liking Queen, and he won't punch you.
"Honorable fights" - He challenges people for a fight. A lot. Home rules: one-on-one, fists only, running away equals immediate forfeit, no attempt against anyone’s fertility, no accessory, no preparation time, starts NOW READY STEADY GO. Also a thin-veiled excuse to bully those damn nerds:
“Hey, you, yes you, I bet your lunchbox you don’t stand a chance against me. HERE I GO~”If his opponent breaks any of these rules? So does he. So, you want to defend yourself with that spork? HAH, I shall take it back from you and pwn you with it.
Also, surprisingly enough, not a sore loser at all. If you manage to defeat him
without cheating, he’ll consider you a worthy opponent, and maybe a friend
he will gladly challenge again once he's improved.
Gemstone: Pearl
Virtues: Obedient - Ashton doesn't question authority. He recognizes his worthy superior at first sight and serves them honourably. Just show in no uncertain term you have more (will)power than he does and that the rules clearly say he’s an underling. His parents never really counted, because they gave up long ago, and his teachers just never quite struck him as authoritative. He will make sure you’re proud of him.
Problem? His obedience is selective. He is the kid who threw a tantrum every time his parents meekly attempted to say no before giving in. He is the student who openly mocks his teacher because he is intimidated by his stature. He is that guy you have to beat in a RPG before he joins your party. He is the primary target of boot camps for kids. And the Negaverse.
Fun - This guy always knows something fun to do. He attracts attention rather naturally, which combined with his occasionnal lack of sense of shame, will push him to do about everything teenagers find wildly hilarious. Ash likes to think of himself as the most important part of any party; which is not quite true, but peers do notice his absence whenever he can't attend a party.
Actually, if he won't
directly disobey a leader, he might ignore written rules if they are in the way of his funtimes. Let's get beer and dance all night like there's no tomorrow, pals!
Strong - Not only physically, but also mentally. It is incredibly hard to break him. Little to nothing shocks him. When confronted to an unexpected problem, he will react as usual. Heroic BSOD, freakout, depression? Those words won't enter his vocabulary anytime soon. He's remarkably resilient and keeps a strong grasp on the things he
does understand.
Flaws:Sharp as a butter knife - Let's be honest for a second now: he's never considered school to be a priority, and that shows. Also, he can get quite bad ideas at time, as he never thinks thoroughly enough about the long-term consequences. Ash always seems to manage to be somewhat surprised that his blind displays of brute force and spontaneous outbursts not only come with negative consequences, but may not even result in what he wanted.
Add that to the fact he learns slowly from his mistakes. He just doesn't rub his braincells together hard enough.
Inaccurate - "I captured a guardian cat, sir! Why yes, it is a guardian, it's got a crescent-like marking stuff on its head, kinda, when you look at it under the right lighting, and yes, it's its fur... oh, you'd meant a star. Well, it's the same. It's not really important. I mean. Is it?"Strength > precision. He does not really pay attention to the subtle shades of things; because as long as he does hit his target eventually, who cares about collateral damages? Let me tell you of the time that guy taunted Ashton, and he swung his arm and hit that girl instead and... no, in fact, let's not.
It's not that he rushes headfirst into situation no matter the costs; rather, his plans often involve doing more damage than necessary. After all, if the damage is spread enough, you'll hit the target in the end.
Violent - The other reason he ended up at Hillworth. Don't taunt him,
he'll punch you. Don't look at him funny more than once, or he'll punch you. Don't mock him, or...
... long story short, violence is not the answer. It's the question, and the answer is "
HELL YEAH".
He's working on that. Really. He does. But sometimes, it's just so tempting to make you shut up with a nice punch IN THE NOSE.
