[color=Gold][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Description of how they look, physically as well as in their clothing. Perhaps choose on and off duty clothing as well for extra pizzazz! This should include their NSF uniform (providing you are still within them at the time of reading this), as well as their non combat uniforms and civilian wear. Later dates when factions can be swapped will obviously have heavy tolls on their appearance. Not only this, but also describe physical attributes towards their appearance, such as hair colour, body stature, eye colour and more to detail their face claim.

Ashton normally wears a resized version of whatever uniform is assigned to the NSF's tech support and cyber security personnel, but favors green-colored shirts and blue jeans as his civilian wear. He has a fondness of the color green in general as it fits with his eyes, and tries to wear it as much as possible.

Physically, Ashton is fit and athletic due to trying to exercise as much as possible when not running firewalls or controlling drones. Despite being shut in a computer room for long hours, Ashton's skin nevertheless is less pasty than expected due to him spending at least some time every day outside or in a tanning room. His hair, however, is relatively messy and frazzled, something he deliberately keeps as one concession to the sterotype. He is also rather short for his age.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Height[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]5'3.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Ashton Andrews-Hyuga feels great pride in his achievements and skill, and feels the need to constantly defend his position against those who would be predjudiced against him due to his age and foreign blood. This can come off as arrogance and posturing, but those who stick by Ashton would see that there is a kinder person inside who believes in the NSF and its goals... Albeit with reservations. Due to his precarious social position as a Half-Japanese, he is uncomfortable with Jinrai's existence and wants it to fall. This desire makes him braver than most people his age, but also more cautious at times because he knows he can't achieve his goals through recklessness.[/color]


[color=Gold][b]Role[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Cyber-security specialist with a side affinity for controlling drones.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Equipment[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]High-end miniature laptop the size of a notebook, a smartphone, various small electronic surveillance devices (bugs and such), a small pistol and a knife, and bulletproof under-armor beneath his normal clothes.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Previous Careers[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Local School Computer Club.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Biography[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Born after the destruction of Tokyo to a Japanese father and an American mother, Ashton knew what it was like to have to face prejudice for his foreign links sooner than most, and how sheer ability can overcome said prejudice up to a point. Said prejudice didn't just come from the normal 'dislike' of Japanese with foreign blood, but also from a new distrust of anything foreign after the nuking of Old Tokyo. 

From an early age, Ashton began pushing himself in mind and body, hoping to impress classmates and teachers alike so that even if he was still disliked, he would at least be respected. And it worked. In time, he began to acquire an ever-widening circle of friends, some with Ainu heritage, while others were ethnic Koreans who somehow avoided forced deportations and various other forms of 'soft purging' after Tokyo's nuking.

The rise of Jinrai was hard on said friends, his family, and himself, with their nationalistic propaganda infecting people who would otherwise be friendlier to them. Despite himself, Ashton felt as though it might be better for him to withdraw from people and become just another 'NEET/Hikikomori'.

That moment passed when he saw just how [i]good[/i] he was at the computer, being able to grasp concepts that normally required years of experience and training to learn. Joining the local school's computer club, Ashton dedicated his surplus time to bettering himself further and fending off any attempts to bully him and his friends. He will not retreat dishonorably. He was not a coward. He was Japanese enough to stand his ground, damnit!

The failure of Jinrai's coup and the formation of the newly-formed NSF emboldened Ashton further, and on impulse, he decided to test the cyber-security of that organization. Now having advanced his skills in the theory and practice of hacking in the past few years, Ashton decided to go to Neo-Tokyo to demonstrate to the NSF just [i]why[/i] they should hire a kid. Once in that city, Ashton then went to a subway station and guarded only by a small modified floating drone, promptly broke the NSF's cyber-defenses and left conspicuous marks of his presence. 

Then, once said presence was noticed, he turned himself in, telling the police that his goal had always been to demonstrate how the cyber-security of the NSF was currently crap and how he can make it much better.

After a few grueling days of interrogation, consideration, and debate, it was decided that the boy was right, and he deserved that job - But he would be closely-watched...[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Affiliations[/b][/color]

Samantha Andrews - Mother.
Various friends made in Hokkaido, both Full-blooded Japanese and Japanese of Ainu heritage.[/color]

[color=Silver]This is how they view other characters throughout the story. This will be updated as major changes in their involvement and view of one another is expanded. Most changes will be listed from experiences out of combat, but some can occur from within their combat positioning out in the field. They can become rivals, hating on one another, romantic couples or simply comrades in arms.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Character Theme[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Not necessary, but can be used if wished. Just a tad fun.[/color]
