Ashton Rotgar
◈ Gender and Pronouns ◈
Male || He/Him
◈ Age ◈
20
◈ Physical Appearance ◈
Ashton is short for a guy. When standing straight, he is around five feet and seven inches tall. He may be small, but he has accepted that he will not grow anymore. It used to be a topic of silent rage, but you can't change what you can't change.
For as long as Ashton can remember, he has worn glasses. His eyesight progressively got worse until about his senior year of high school, and used to get a new pair of glasses whenever his proscription changed, but that got really expensive really fast. So instead, he picked out a thick black pair to wear.
His eyes themselves are a bluish green color. His skin is pale, even though he spends a lot of time outside and Ashton's hair is a sunflower blonde that falls in loosely down to the nape of his neck. In certain lighting, it almost looks platinum.
His usually clothing consists of dark jeans, a plain shirt or button up, and some sort of jacket (suit-type jacket, sweatshirt, etc.) His glasses are always on and he never leaves the house without them, as he could barely see. On him wrists is a bracelet he inherited from his mother after she died. He has never taken it off upon receiving it.
◈ Personality and Stuff ◈
If there is one thing that you will remember about Ashton, it's his eyes. No, it is not the color of them, but the depth. If you ever want to see how he is doing, just look and you will see that this part of him is an open book. Ashton may seem stoic, but his eyes convey enough emotion that that is easy to tell what he's thinking. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad -- it depends on who he's talking too.
Another thing that will stick with you is that Ashton seems to have two personalities:
- When you first met him, he is almost as shy as shy can be. He'll be quiet and it will take a lot of time for him to be able to approach someone new. He'll be reserved and hold back things that he really wants to say, but he believes that it is wrong to say that to someone he just met. He'll also be indecisive, saying, "I'm fine with whatever, it's what you want". He won't have an opinion to give because his won't matter at the time. More often that not, he gets mistaken for an asshole when in reality he's just shy.
- After time progresses, Ashton will become a completely different person. He will get loud and obnoxious to the point that you want to yell at him to shut up. He will be open and won't be afraid to tell exactly what he thinks. You'll find that Ashtan is actually quite opinionated (
and an actual asshole sometimes). He still might be indecisive, but only because he does know or care what he wants.
On a side note, Ashton is unconsciously an extreme cuddle fan. While asleep, you can often find him curled around his pillow or blankets. And please be careful when waking him up. Ashton is known for grabbing anything in reach to snuggle with while sleeping. You have been warned.
◈ Strengths ◈
- Ashton is a very clever person who is able to come up with multiple ways to make it through different scenarios that have the same/different outcomes. His mother was really into chess, and they use to play together for hours during the weekends since he was a little boy.
- Like most Rotgars, Ashton is somewhat athletic, having dabbled in a lot of sports since he was young, but never really sticking with one for that long. His favorites were track, cross country, and soccer (which he currently plays).
- I don't know if I would call this a skill, but he once learned how to play the violin to impress a crush . . . that didn't work out, but he still loves the music.
◈ Weaknesses ◈
- Ashton cannot throw or catch. He has never been good at that, and he would always try to avoid the sports that involve it. He throws something in one direction, it goes in the other.
- He is easily scared, and we he is scared, he likes to curl up in a ball for comfort. Don't get it wrong though. If you threaten someone he cares about, he will look past him fears and fight you.
- Not that this is necessarily a weakness, but Ashton tends to be quite meek. Most of the time, he has little courage despite his capabilities. He most certainly isn't a leader and would rather follow others instead.
Variations
What I had in mind for Rps is more realistic or magic mixed in for real life, but I can make him fit pretty much anything. For romances, he is definitely a sub, maybe a little bratty at times.
