He tends to favor dark clothing the majority of the time but sometimes does wear something lighter.<br/><br/>Position Within the Brothel: Enforcer/Occasional Patron (when the Mrs. is feeling particularly generous)<br/>Eye Color: Primarily amethyst but can shift to silver, obsidian or a vibrant reddish-violet to deep a deep ruby color depending on his mood.<br/><br/>Hair Color: Pitch raven black with blue-violet highlights.<br/><br/>Hair Style: He keeps his hair long and tied back with a strip of black leather thong for the most part.<br/><br/>Jewelry: A dragon medallion he inherited from his maternal grandfather when he came of age, its handing down to the first male heir a tradition dating back many generations in his family. He also wears a matching wedding band to his wife's on his left hand and the golden wristband belonging to his former master on his right.<br/><br/>Tattoos/Scars/or any other distinguishing marks: There are some scars along his body from various battles fought throughout his life and even one or two from his lovely little mate when he had managed to utterly piss her off. Luckily enough for him the scars seems to add to his roguish good looks. His mating mark is proudly displayed in the form a small phoenix tattoo on the back of his right shoulder whenever his has his top off.<br/><br/>Year Born: 1311 (by earth standard)<br/><br/>Home World: Cepherias<br/><br/>Plane of Existence: Breath of Fire 1 - 4<br/><br/>Racial Traits: Enhanced senses/awareness (in all forms), Ascension*, Breath Weapon, Darkvision (120 ft), Can harness and manipulate shadow based powers, along with draconic magics and is gifted with some intermediary psionic skills. Similar to his mate Ash is extremely resistant if not immune to most forms of fire.<br/><br/>Special Abilities: While in his human form Ash has getter access to his Combat skills and magics as well as his physical attributes from his dragon forms are condensed into the smaller humanoid body granting him what seems like to normal people super strength and endurance and his unearthly stamina is nothing to sneeze at either. In his hybrid form Ash has lesser access to his magic a more into the special attacks granted by his more draconian form to compensate. In his full dragon form, he has full access to his draconian abilities in lieu of his magic and combat skills. His psionic gift carries over to all forms.<br/><br/>Weakness: Takes substantial damage from cold attacks (in addition to just pissing him off), While light spells have no effect on his shadow abilities they can be dispelled by Daylight spells.<br/><br/>On's: That list is just to long to write down.<br/><br/>Off's: M/M, Bathroom sports of any kind and certainly anything related to vore, gore or death - though I have been known to deal that last one when the need arises.<br/><br/>Biography: Ash doesn't like talking about his past much, particularly his life before meeting Nia and leaving his native home world. Even those he calls friends only know bits and pieces with Nia being the soul exception and she is incredibly tight lipped about it. If anyone else were to asks he simply tells them he was the youngest of three children that grew up in a large but rual town where their father was the town's appointed leader. He was trained along side his older brother by a decorated but retired soldier in the arts of a warrior and in their natural abilities. He had a falling out with his father he had reached his sixteenth year resulting in him leaving home and taking up the life of a mercenary to support himself. Anything after that time period he is more amenable to speak about if he found whoever is asking particularly trustworthy. By the time he was twenty-one he had earned himself something of a considerably jaded reputation, both on and off the battlefield and particularly with the ladies (didn't matter if they married or not). To pass the time between contracts Ash had taken up fighting in martial tournaments which was how he first meet Nia. She had been the only one out of all his opponents to give him the fight he had been craving.<br/><br/>That wouldn't be the only time they would cross cross paths. Every chance encounter they teased and danced around each other usually ending with Nia refusing his repeated offers to pass the time in a more salacious manner. Rather than being offended at the continual rejection it had the opposite effect, Ash found himself more and more drawn to the feisty martial artist despite his better judgement, dismissing the possibly the deeper hidden affections she stirred within his icy heart as nothing more than a passing fancy that would vanish once she succumbed to him. Such a fragile notion was soon shattered when Nia was captured and tormented by Ash's current employer who turned out to be a former lover of an old enemy Ash had killed years ago. The woman desired to inflict the same unending emotional torment she had endured by killing the helpless Nia in front of Ash. Confronted with his feelings for Nia combined with his rage at the entire situation had caused something to snap within Ash, awakening and unleashing a new level of power. Suffice to say anyone that wasn't Nia suffered a brutal death.<br/><br/>Once the ordeal was over, and Nia had recovered, Ash confessed his feelings taking the chance that he would be utterly rejected in light of his previous behavior. Imagine much to his surprise when his feeling were reciprocated. They were married not long after both in a human ceremony and latter mated in a more private ceremony involving just them. Just when he thought things couldn't get any better Nia revealed her biggest secret yet; she wasn't originally from his world, she had spent most of her life traveling from world to world before coming to his. The thought of seeing other worlds beyond his intrigued him to end and since he had long ago severed ties with him past there was nothing hold him back, except one thing which was quickly remedied before they departed Cephearias behind forever. It was during their journeys that they came across the Nexus and its City of In-Betweens. The place seemed intriguing enough for the them to want to set down roots for a while at least. Both ended up getting jobs at the Nexus, Nia as a bartender and he as an enforcer though at times he still takes on a side job or two if the price is right.<br/><br/>*Ascension - The ability only retained by the Yorae bloodline to transform into the Dragon Warrior.<br/>
