Appearance: Ashley Wingrove is rather average in appearance, as he doesn't like standing out in a crowd. Despite the fact he isn't active in the slightest, he manages to maintain an average weight for someone of his height, being 5'10 and 140lbs, although his skin has suffered as a result of him not being very active, becoming slightly pale.

His face is rather narrow, with large, dull, green eyes, a small nose and very thin lips. The only really distinguishing features are the few spot-scars from chicken-pox, and a small, yet distinctive, scar he has above his left eyebrow, from an accident when he was nine.

Ash keeps his blonde, shaggy hair down halfway to his shoulders, and usually wears a baseball cap or a black beanie hat over it.

As far as clothing goes, Ash's wardrobe extends about as far as various Brightly coloured T-Shirts under a light gray, navy blue, or black hooded jacket, coupled with Cargo Shorts or Jeans, and a worn out pair of Vans that he's had for so long he can't bear to get rid of.

Biography: Ash was born to two fairly wealthy writers in St. Paul on September 17th, 1991. He was brought up as an only child for several years, very much enjoying being the centre of attention, even at a young age. However, his parents very much wanted another child, and in 1995, his brother Joseph was born.

Now having to share the spotlight with his brother, and no longer being the centre of attention when visitors came around, Ash turned to attention-seeking behaviour, Always trying to steal the spotlight from his brother by doing dengerous or outrageous things, which resulted in him getting the distinctive scar on his forehead, when he attempted Kayaking with his school, went into very shallow water, capsized, and cut his head on some rock underwater.

Eager to get Ashley to put his mind to something more constructive, his parents connected him to the internet. He spent large amounts of time on sites, reading up on anything and everything he could ever have wanted (or not wanted, in some cases) to know.
His love of just surfing random pages on the internet continues to the present day, and he carries his laptop almost everywhere with him, sometimes spending over an hour in a coffee shop somewhere, writing large, detailed posts on forums, or watching Youtube videos.

If you were to talk to Ash, he'd say that his relationship with his family is good, although in truth they regularly get into arguments about petty things, but these are usually never mentioned again, and his parents are very protective of their two sons.

Although Ash is rather intellegent (very able to get higher than average grades), his ever increasing time on the internet has caused him to be, for lack of a better word, something of a slacker, and Ash would much rather sit at his computer than do schoolwork any day of the week, which has lead him to get a bit of notoriety amongst some of the teachers at Bayview, and his grades are steadily plummeting, leading to him frequently arguing with his parents, as they want him to push to achieve a lot more.

Aside from browsing the internet, one of Ash shares his parents' love of writing, and he wants to persue a career in journalism, however, he was kicked off of the school paper due to regularly missing deadlines, and general "creative differences." He has since turned to creative writing instead, because he believes it to be more free of restrictions, although he sometimes writes articles for websites.

Ash isn't very outgoing, and doesn't have many friends, mostly due to the fact he is very sarcastic to people he doesn't know. but despite this, he hates seeing people get hurt, and has been known to rush into more than one fight to help the person who's losing, without any regard for his own safety. This normally ends with Ash taking some of the blame for the fight, and subsequently the punishment.

He has been unlucky enough to have had chicken pox twice, the second time being rather severe, and leaving him with spot scars all over his body.

Advantages: Although he's a slacker, Ash is smart, and can probably outsmart someone if he puts his mind to it.

Disadvantages: Ash isn't in very good shape, which could prove problematic in the game. He's not very physically strong, and could probably be bested in hand to hand combat by pretty much anyone. He's not very well known, and most people who know him know him as "The idiot who rushes in, trying to be the hero".
