Strengths:
Martial prowess - while not physically as powerful as others Ashton makes up for this in his execution of technique and his immense skill with most weapons. He has bested fighters much stronger than he with a few dazzling maneuvers time and again.
Sharp, adaptive mind - Ashton is possessed of a supremely keen intellect, he quite often had proven his ability to adapt on the fly to the ever changing rules of combat and still be able to use simple tactics to defeat large forces. He is always thinking four steps ahead of his opponent quite often to their dismay.


Weaknesses:
Prideful to a fault - Ashton has worked hard for his position and his title. This has not made him vain but he is quick to anger if his pride is attacked.
Ever the friend - Ashton would rather extend a hand of friendship than fight, this has gotten him into many problems over the years and has stepped on the pride of others at times.


Weaponry and Gear:

(Serithal): A blade forged of a like metal to his armor, the blade is razor sharp and his scabbard is made of a dark blue leather.

(Improvisation): A sharp mind and instinct can turn everything from a simple chair leg to a plate into a weapon. This is coupled and focused upon with his martial training, sometimes you don't have access to your own weapon so make do with what you have.



Training:

Political Spent a year formally training to be an ambassador and has more than a year of actively doing this.

Extensive Martial Training Since the age of eighteen and for a few years prior Ashton has studied and practiced many different forms of combat and tactics. Nearing twenty years of combat experience and training. This includes the standard Krav Maga style training given to soldiers as well as an advanced understanding and technical ability with said style.

Engineering Expertise For roughly fifteen years Ashton spent much of his time reading and learning everything he could about engineering from his parents. From the most basic to advanced information.

History
At a young age Ashton showed much promise for anything regarding physical or intellectual prowess. Born to parents who worked at the Engineering Academy in Namoria, he was quick to learn and absorbed any knowledge he could get his hands on. Growing up he pestered his parents with inquires about their jobs until his father handed him a book filled with engineering information and blue prints for basic machines. Ashton fell upon this book, learning to read after only a month and memorizing the text book from cover to cover. He continued to consume books with a voracious appetite till he went to the military academy.

His time in the academy was well spent, he was top of his class and often times he found himself both and idol and an enemy. He turned his knack for learning towards the military sciences and quickly found himself looking at a promising future in the military.

Upon turning eighteen and graduating with top marks he joined the military much to the applause of his parents. He was driven to learn and excellence earning him a steady rate of promotions and quickly landing himself in many high priority positons.

By twenty four he had already shown much promise as a leader and his superiors noted this, often appointing him to lead in exercises and drills.

At the time he turned thirty he found himself at a new post in the city of (blank). This post was to be a member the Empress' guards, he took to this and gave every bit of himself to her protection.

A few years passed as Ashton steadily rose in the ranks till he turned thirty five, this is when he was chosen from a group of like minded individuals by the Empress to become Ambassador to Akamu. He hesitated slightly, he did not wish to stop guarding the empress but the honor of being selected by the Empress herself was to great for him to decline. A year spent learning of the politics and customs in Akamu was crash course at best and would lead to many false starts in his new post.

Upon arriving in Akamu he was placed in the lowest ranks of the military, this hurt Ashton's pride greatly but he would not show it. He quickly fell into place, using his experience and adaptability to excell and prove to his superiors he could hold his own both mentally and physically. During this time he worked to learn the language and would send correspondence back to the Empress when time and a messenger was available.

As time passed he made a few grudging friends amongst the military and his superiors even acknowledged his skill and ability to stand, for a time, against some of their best fighters. One night when he was out finding a meal he came across a young lynx woman, she treated him like an everyday person without a look of distrust or contempt. This eased the culture shock he was experiencing from coming to Akamu and he took the chance to offer friendship and found himself suddenly not so alone. Miria became a steady companion, one he could expect to see and speak with on a regular basis. She even began teaching him the more intricate details of her language so that he would not be left behind so easily.

It has been two years since his introduction to Akamu military and society, this has earned him a grudging respect amongst the people of Akamu as well as a firm grasp of the basics of their language thanks to Miria.
