Physical Description
A young adult naga, Asher is albino and slightly overweight, but in good health. Often, especially in the summer time, he is frequently sunburned.
Asher's left arm is dominated by a large red tattoo of the Serpent's Constellation.
Due to his albinism, Asher has relatively poor vision and is sensitive to bright light. He is slightly near sighted, but other than sunglasses when swimming or out on the beach, has a stark refusal to wear glasses or contacts.
Mental characteristics
Asher was born in the
Republic of Shanai, and has lived on the islands his whole life with his family, in the tourist section of town. He grew up with
Jon Sparrow as his best and closest friend, the pair spending their teenage years both as romantic rivals when attempting to woo local girls, and as frequent 'on again, off again' lovers until finally cementing their relationship as a stable part of each other's lives.
Asher works in the Burman Cafe, a small coffee shop owned by his aunt and uncle. As a family business, he often makes his own schedule as he pleases and will fill in any position, usually acting as manager when his family is not around. He also tends to help Jon out with any odd jobs he takes, and joins in on scamming tourists, most often by overcharging them severely.
Asher is also a member of the
Red Pineapple Corps, a volunteer based group in Shanai that reacts to the many natural disasters the island nation is prone to.

History
Jon and Asher are inseparable, having grown up together and spent their entire lives as best friends and accomplices in their antics to terrorize tourists and thrill seekers who come to Shanai with little regard for the locals. Their relationship is semi-open, both of them taking on occasional lovers outside of each other, with the other acting as a wingman and encouraging their own frivolous lifestyles.
They are engaged due to a bet that neither of them would have a steady girlfriend by the time they each turned 25, however, neither has any intent of actually getting married any time soon.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Surfing, swimming, and tormenting tourists
History
Both Jon and Asher have had frequent run ins with the God of Cranes, and have attended festivals with them as drinking buddies in the past. Although not quite friends, the trio do share enough history to be on good terms and hang out with one another when in the same area.
Relationship Reasoning
Namen and Asher both are people who escaped Hilathu's Cult and have family members still within.
Asher comes from a lower middle class family with connections to the Burman Mafia, although his direct family has greatly distanced themselves from them and cut family members who haven't out of their lives.
While he enjoys the simpler things in life, Asher is rather good with money, always keeping a good amount saved at all times for helping out his friends and family whenever needed and is generous in doing so. He can also be stingy with his own spending with a general refusal to buy things he sees as a waste.
