Looks
Hair style: Ash's hair is normally cut short and left to its own devices. Some days it'll be shaggy and unkempt and some days it'll fall perfectly in place. He doesn't care much either way and really only pays attentention to his hair when his hair starts falling in his eyes.
Body type: Spending most of his free time wrangling wild beasts has given Ash a fit physique. He's muscled, but not overly so. It bears mentioning that he's quite tall standing at a respectable 6'5''.
Dress sense: Where clothes are concerened Asher is very much a 'wear what ever fits best' kind of guy, after all in his line of work things things tend to get ruined often. There isn't much point in spending coin on an expensive suit if the fabric is going to get dissolved with basalisk venom. That's not to say that he doesn't know how to dress to the t's, he did grow up in an upper class pure blood family.
Personality
Likes: There's nothing that Asher enjoys more than being
outdoors, except for maybe
animals. He's generally a very
fun loving, easy going guy--the kind that loves to play
jokes on the people closest to him. The quickest way to his heart is probably though his stomach because the man loves his
food. It's rare that someone catches him on a bad day, but should it occur it's best to leave him to his own devices so he can stew in silence with a good
book.
Dislikes: Despite loving nature and most things out doorsy, Asher is not a fan of
cold weather. If it's below a certain temperature he's likely to be cuddled up inside near a fire, though this tends to drive him stir-crazy because he hates
staying still. While normally calm, cool. and collected
alcohol tends to make him lose his inhibitions and he can no longer afford to be in anything less than full control. It goes without saying, but due to his affliction he doesn't like the
full moon.
Quirks: Asher exhibits nearly perfect eidetic memory.
Flaws: While he normally exhibts a composed outer demanor, Asher has this terrible habit of bottling up his emotions that he doesn't feel like dealing with. Every now and again when the emotional pressure becomes to much he'll explode and that is a truly terrifying sight to behold.
Strengths: Along with a quick wit and a sharp mind, Asher's shining characteristic is his tenacity and unwillingness to give up.
Weaknesses: Asher goes through extreme lengths to keep his lycanthropy a secret. He sees it as a curse and a shame. If used against him, there's nothing he wouldn't do to keep the secret for getting out.
More Information
Great things have always been expected of the men of Clan MacIntyre, from the ancient days when they served as berserker warriors for Arthur's court. Through the generations as times changed the standards of which the men of this prestigious family have as well. As a child young Asher, the youngest of the three heirs, was always a bit of a trouble maker. He was too wild his mother always said, though he now knows she meant he thought too much for himself instead of doing as he was told. You see even as a young one, the state of the world left a sour taste in Asher's mouth. He didn't understand why life was so much better for him, while other people were suffering and being denied the same things handed to him on a silver platter. He never believed in cashing in on the fact that he was lucky enough to be born to a pure blood family. He wanted to make a name for himself with his own sweat, tears, and hard work; which wasn't an easy task while constantly living in the shadows of his siblings.
It wasn't until the boy hit his sixth year at Hogwarts before he really reached the apex of his potential. During his Care of Magical Creatures lesson he managed to calm a rampaging hippogriff with just words and his natural charisma. The off handed comment made by his professor about making a job out of that completely changed the boy's direction in life. Upin graduation instead of taking over the family buisness as had always been intended for him he joined a team of surveyors assisting an author in making an updated Magical Creature compendium. The journey took them through dangerous jungles, frigid arctic peaks, oceans of sand; and many of his companions did not make it. It was on one such trek into a previously unmapped woods after the number had dwindled down to three, that the caravan stumbled upon a pack of werewolves. Never haing observed this behavior in the beasts before Asher elicted to stay and study them while the rest of the party moved on. Every day he inched closer and closer to the pack thinking himself unnoticed. It was his ignorance of the wolves's sense of smell even in human form that was his downfall. On the night of the full moon the moment he stepped into the clearing he was pounced and savagely attacked. It's a small wonder that he's here today, or maybe an act of cruelt ydepending on who's asking.
No one really knows how he survived--mainly becasue he's refused to speak about it.The fate that was inflicted upon him was worse to death in his opinion. The pack had never planned on killing him, but making him one of them; to suffer as they do. After a slow recovery and even physical rehab to regain the use of his arm Asher wanted to settle down and find a more stable life. Which lead him to applying for a position at Hogwarts taking over as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
