Main Verse
As above.Doctor Who
Ash works as a chef aboard The Titanic (cruise liner-spaceship). Their shift from various terrestrial kitchens to the cruise industry was a pursuit of a fresh start. Initially taking on a temporary assignment, Ash's talent secured them a permanent position as the head chef.Dollhouse
Ash's decision to become an Active was motivated by a desire to escape their past, and the financial stability offered by the Dollhouse. It served as a means to secure a future that had been elusive in their upbringing. It was a chance to break free from the chaos of their past, a path to financial security that was once an unattainable dream. In their 'doll' state, they have no memory of their mental health history, providing a brief escape from the burdens of their past.Fantasy (Tiefling Ranger)
Born Awm Ryirval, Ash a tiefling ranger who learned early on that life offers few comforts for those of their kind. Growing up as an orphan on the streets, Ash had no homeland, no family, and no one to rely on but themself. Their childhood was one of constant struggle — from sleeping on rooftops to huddling in alleyways, they developed an unshakable toughness and a keen sense of self-preservation. Their infernal heritage made them a target for prejudice, and they endured everything from whispered slurs to outright violence. Sleek, black, slightly curved horns rise from their head, with solid silver eyes, sharply pointed canines, and a thick, lashing tail. Their pale skin contrasts sharply with their dark blue hair.Specialising in hunting dangerous creatures at the fringes of civilization, they are at home in the wilds, far from the comforts of society. Their ranger abilities are not limited to the natural world though; Ash’s early life on the streets also gave them a deep understanding of cities. They can navigate urban sprawl with ease, finding hidden passages and squeezing into places no one else can reach. Despite their rough demeanour, Ash has a deep connection to nature, embodied in their bond with a powerful panther named Dsuwid, their constant companion and trusted ally.By default, is part of the Clann of the Silver Horn.Marvel
In financial difficulty, Ash took a gamble by participating in a mysterious medical trial promising quick cash. The medical trial's original intent was to explore very low doses of an experimental serum, with the goal of creating enhanced soldiers, not superhumans. Through a critical administrative error, Ash received a far higher dose than intended. Ash's newfound powers included enhanced strength and durability, exceptional stamina and reflexes, heightened senses, accelerated healing, and slowed aging. Their superhuman abilities soon became a liability in their culinary career,. Their increased strength inadvertently led to frequent accidents, eventually resulting in the loss of their job.SHIELD had launched an investigation into the organisation behind the medical trial, and they identified Ash as a participant who received an overdose of the serum. Ash wanted accountability from someone — hoping, fruitlessly, for SHIELD to be able to reverse the serum's effects. Ash suggested they could take on the role of a chef within SHIELD, and eventually the organisation agreed, conditional on Ash training to control their powers and contributing to SHIELD's operational missions.Pirate
Orphaned in a coastal town during the pirate era, Ash had to fend for themselves from a young age. They managed to secure a position as a chef at a local tavern, where they honed the basics of cooking. A smuggler, known for frequenting the establishment, recognized Ash's culinary skills and resourcefulness. Impressed by Ash's talents and seeing the potential for a valuable addition to their crew, the smuggler extended an offer. With little to lose, they accepted the offer and joined the smuggler's crew, as the ship's cook.
