Lying comes as naturally to Ashton as breathing. He's an unrepentant suckup because he wants things, wants them desperately, but...it's so much easier to get other people to do all the work instead. So he'll say yes, yes, and yes again, and be the precious little selfless ever-suffering one people feel sorry for -- because, after all, if he did things for you...well. Don't you owe him right back? Isn't that just polite? If you think it's not -- don't worry. Ashton will dig the knife right in.
BOW BEFORE ME
Ashton pretends to be selfless and caring, maybe, but in the end all he wants is to be better than you. If there's absolutely no way for him to get anything out of something he does, whether it's via favorsharking or doing something that seems like it's trouble, he'll refuse. What's the point in helping other people for no reward? Everything Ashton does is absolutely selfish at its' root, and he favorsharks like crazy because He Is Going To Win.
And if you're not useful to Ashton, he's going to walk all over you. You see: this is starting to become a problem. People are starting to learn that Ashton Carver is not a good person. And rumors can't be stamped out...especially when they're true. If Ashton doesn't change what he's doing...people are going to learn exactly what kind of person he is, and it's going to ruin his prospects.
ANYTHING ELSE?
5'7", ~120 lbs; green eyes, straight blonde hair. Fairly androgynous by nature, but varies presentation depending on the day -- and makeup's a good helper. As far as PB, think Stav Strashko. As far as fashion goes, think INCREDIBLY HIPSTER / butch lesbian. Infinity scarves. Flannel. Beanies. The works. Bigender/genderfluid; will always accept they/them but feels no real attachment to it. Goes by she/her or he/him depending on what gender Ashton is feeling that day, but won't put up a fight over being misgendered...at least, not outwardly. Ashton is an aspiring taxidermist, although most of what they do is clean the bones of dead animals they find. Anything else just isn't really plausible. Ashton works at the taxidermy shop Mount Me. Currently a pre-med; interested in the surgical field
developed powers. NATURAL 20 -- Whenever Ashton rolls a die, or flips a coin, or does anything else similar; the result is almost always favorable.
YOUR BEST FRIEND? -- Ashton can 'read' the emotions of people around him via touch -- he cannot manipulate or alter these emotions in any way, nor can he read someone's thoughts. He's an emotional receiver. However, there is no sign this power has been activated, and it cannot be turned off.
won powers. GLAMOUR GLAMOUR -- With just a thought you can manifest a full face of makeup and a full set of painted nails, with any colors and designs you can imagine. You can also modify or touch up this look at will. However, it’s still a chore to wash off at end of the day (or night).
I CAN SEE FOREVER -- Your irises have turned pitch black and now appear to be decorated with stars, nebulas or galaxies tinted your natural eye color.
(You will arrive home after the party to discover an immortal balloon floating just behind your door. It's cherry red in color, decorated with an ink drawing of an insincerely smiling clown face, and it proves impossible to pop or otherwise get rid of.
It is part of your life, now.
Forever.)
SPIDERWALKER --Walk up the side of a building! C'mon, you can do it! Whether you actually want to is up to you.
THE BEST HUGS --A hug from you is guaranteed to make someone feel better, somehow. Even if you hug yourself.
FEEDBACK --Anyone attempting to psychically contact you has a 50/50 chance of getting a headful of incredibly painful static. When another character attempts to contact yours psychically, they must roll a d4. Odds triggers the static shock, evens does not. Ashton won this with the OOC superlative title of Most Manipulative.

The blond boy in the red trunks is holding your head underwater because he is trying to kill you, and you deserve it, you do, and you know this, and you are ready to die in this swimming pool because you wanted to touch his hands and lips and this means your life is over anyway. You’re in the eighth grade. You know these things. You know how to ride a dirt bike, and you know how to do long division, and you know that a boy who likes boys is a dead boy, unless he keeps his mouth shut, which is what you didn’t do, because you are weak and hollow and it doesn’t matter anymore.
