Asch Fuerre

Asch Fuerre (pronounced Ash Fyoor) is an original character created by RichieJA.

Asch is partners with Zale Calder, and the leader of Team AZRN (pronounced Team Alizarin).

General
Age: 17

Species: Human

Inspiration: Asch's character draws inspiration from the mythical Phoenix.

Appearance and Clothing
Appearance: Asch has black, messy hair that is swept to the right and is just barely long enough to slightly cover the top of his right eye (think Logan Lerman [Percy Jackson] from the first Percy Jackson movie, just slightly longer); a recurring cowlick near the back of his head causes a tuft of hair to perpetually stick up on the back part of his head. His eyes are hazel/green (the kind that change color with the weather). He is around 5' 9" (~174 cm) and very well defined in term of muscle mass.

Clothing: Asch wears a plain, dark red V-neck shirt with his emblem in gray on the top left corner of the shirt. He wears a belt/baldric that is a diagonal shoulder sheath on his back for his weapon Blademerang. The front of his belt and baldric are bandolier-style, which have 7 bottles of dust of varying colors. Where his belt and baldric meet he has a throwing knife that he is decent at using. His belt buckles at his right hip rather than the front of his pants. He wears cargo shorts, no-show socks, and black canvas sneakers. He also wears black fingerless gloves, and on his wrists he has two rather thick metal bracelets/cuffs that contain a special mixture of dust that is used for his signature glyph. He always wears a black bandana tied around his neck.

Weapon
Named Blademerang, Asch's weapon is a Transforming Variant Bladed Boomerang, or TVBB. Reminiscent of a short-sword, the blade is not very long, at just over 20 inches.

Blademerang has three forms, summed up as: 1: A double-edged short-sword, 2: Two twin single-edged swords, and 3: A 'Bladed Boomerang' mode.

History
'''WARNING: This section contains spoilers for The Phoenix Reborn, a Fanfictions centered around Team AZRN. If you plan to ever read The Phoenix Reborn, do not read past this point. '''

Asch grew up extremely poor. His father owns a dust shop, which is perpetually under-stocked with worthless products; business is poor. He only had one friend growing up, Gael Rivers, who happened to be the son of a rather wealthy man. Asch met Gael when a drunk man attempted to rob Asch's father's run-down dust shop. The two young boys formed a mutual dream; to be hunters, vanquishing evil and saving the day. And then the accident happened. Gael was in a horrible freak dust explosion, and was hit by shrapnel in his back; he was paralyzed from the waist down - wheelchair bound. It was horribly obvious that there was no possibility for him to be a hunter. Gael's father went into a bout of depression. But Gael saw and understood that his dream would not be fulfilled, and seemed as if he was coping well. Meanwhile, Asch was running out of time. Soon, it would be either he scraped together the money to pay for Signal's tuition, or his dream, too, would go unfulfilled for life, crushed by the horrible reality of poverty. And then on the day of Asch's 13th birthday, he received a letter; it was from Gael. It read, "Asch. You are my friend, and you are my brother. We both know that I will never be able to do what I love, and you cannot afford to do so either. I am not going to let you lose your dream over a thing like money. I want to give you the money that has been set aside for me to go to Signal and Beacon. I certainly won't be needing it. Fulfill our dream for me, Asch. I love you, and I hope that you have a wonderful life." Asch was moved to the point of tears as he read the letter. He was going to be a hunter! A few hours later, after Asch had composed himself, he called Gael to thank him. Instead, Gael's father answered the phone, his voice wavering.

Gael had committed suicide.

Personality
Asch is, above all, humble. He doesn't mind talking, and will give his thoughts on any subject that arises; he's an open book, and doesn't care about what people think of him. He is also a very calm person. However, he hates immoral and illegal acts, and will revenge any wrongs committed to him and his friends.

Semblance
Asch’s semblance is glyphs; he has the standard platform/wall glyph (like Weiss's white glyph), which he then 'influences' with dust from either his bandolier or his bracelet/cuffs to form several specialized glyphs: a 'seek and return' glyph that he casts simultaneously on his hand and an object, temporarily giving him control over the object, as well as a stasis/restraining glyph. He uses them to control Blademerang's flight path. Also, he has especially strong fire and lightning glyphs. He keeps his vials of ground dust in his bandolier-style baldric/belt. Concept art for Asch's glyphs will be forthcoming shortly.

Creator's note:
I do realize that this is a rather basic profile, lacking in detail and structure; I assure you, it is not that Asch is a bland character, but rather that I'm still trying to accustom myself to the wikia formatting and refine my character. I apologize that art is lacking, but simply put, I'm a horrible artist and don't have the money to commission professionals.
