Ashe

Sgt. Ashe Thompson

Physical Description

Body Features

Due to being a bitten and not Pureblood Werewolf, Ashe's wolf tail remains present even when in his human form, though it does look more "mangy" when he's human as opposed to when he's human. He often keeps his tail hidden under his clothes since it's a dead giveaway that he's a Werewolf.

Facial Features

Ashe has a significant amount of stubble, though how much that's to be attributed to his Lycanthropy and how much to his own personal grooming is unclear.

Special abilities

Being a Lycanthrope grants Ashe some of these:

• Enhanced strength, smell, and hearing
• Transforms during full moons

Unfortunately, Ashe (being a half-breed and not a natural Werewolf) has little to no control over his transformations and often struggles to manage his other abilities without his medicine.

Apparel & Accessories

Ashe wears the silver pendant he received when making Sargent, both as a memento from his old life as well as a way to help hold on to his senses when his wolf side rears it's head.
He wears a wide-brimmed hat to help hide his ears and face when the full moon is close and his wolfen features begin to show.
As a traveling mercenary, Ashe also carries his weapons which normally include a short sword, hatchet, and knives.

Specialized Equipment

Ashe often carries a supply of the medicine that helps him manage his Lycanthropy. The medicine acts as a suppressant, diluting his Werewolf abilities and preventing his transforming (at least, fully).

Mental characteristics

Employment

Ashe started as a soldier for Calios, but was forced out after being bitten by a Werewolf and infected with Lycanthropy.
Following his discharge, Ashe worked as a freelance hunter in the country, using his travels as a cover for isolating himself from citizens during full moons.
Eventually, he's approached by Samuel and becomes the handler/muscles for The Wraiths in exchange for medicine to help manage his Lycanthropy.

Mental Trauma

Getting infected with Lycanthropy tends to have some of the following side effects:

• Being forced out your job
• Painfully transforming into a wolf every full moon
• When transformed, experiencing strong feelings of aggression and anger

In other words, Ashe's dealing with a lot.

Morality & Philosophy

(Would Ashe have reservations about the process that makes the Shadow Demons given his status as a half-breed Werewolf)

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Between his training as a soldier and his enhanced abilities as a werewolf, Ashe is proficient in combat (both melee and unarmed) and tracking. 
Also, as with most werewolves, he is adept at reading other people's body language. This comes in handy when he's looking for tells during a poker game.
Unfortunately, his drifter lifestyle and isolation due to his Lycanthropy have left him rusty in terms of social skills.

Virtues & Personality perks

Ashe is nothing if not understanding when it comes to people reacting to his Lycanthropy, particularly guards removing him from a town or village since he knows how dangerous he can be and that they are simply doing their job.

Vices & Personality flaws

His temper. Ashe is normally good at keeping a lid on it (normally reigning it in to where he's just gruff and grumpy), but it gets difficult when it gets close to a full moon or he goes off his meds.
Loner: fairly justified given that he's spent years as a drifter due to his Lycanthropy. This causes some friction with the other Wraiths at first since he has to re-learn how to be a team player.
(?) Alcohol: both in dealing with his isolation, trauma of his life being derailed, and trying to dilute the pain he experiences during his transformations.
(?) Hates Werewolves: again, justified given what happened to him. He's antagonistic towards even relatively harmless wolves like Erin

Personality Quirks

Even when he doesn't transform, Ashe exhibits noticeable canine traits as the full moon approaches. Inclination towards red, rarer meat. Increased sense of smell. Etc.

History

Ashe and Samuel started out in the Calian army together where the two became friends.
After Ashe became infected with Lycanthropy, Sam was the only one who didn't sever ties with him. Granted, this was partly due to Sam blaming himself for the tragedy since he failed to account for one of the wolves flanking their unit and Ashe took the bite while protecting him.
The two remained in touch even after Ashe became a drifter.
