Asher Kaze

CHARACTER

Name: Asher Kaze

Age: 17 (March 15)

Gender: Male

Symbol:


Appearance:
5'11", 140 lbs., slim build with pale skin. White hair. Blue eyes. His clothes bear an aviator style to them. He wears a pale blue aviator jacket, with white details and a royal blue shirt underneath. He also wears white cargo pants with a light blue tint. His shoes are grey work boots with black bottoms. He also sports a pale blue aviator scarf.

Personality:
Asher acts and looks supremely confident, but not in the braggart way; however, this is to hide his own self-doubt in his abilities. He is an optimistic guy who is always trying to lighten the mood. Asher avoids fighting unless his or someone else's life is threatened.

History:
Asher was born into a poor family and is Aaron Kaze's twin brother. Asher developed a fascination with aircraft at a young age and it influenced him greatly. He developed an interest in the wind and heights, which was fueled by the design of his weapon, Taifu. Although he barely scraped his way into Signal, he graduated near the top of his class. Due to their parents' decision to pass the family heirloom on to him, Asher and his brother Aaron share a strained relationship.

Strength:
Asher is light on his feet and can jump rather high. He excels at close- to mid-range combat. Asher not afraid to take drastic risks and tends to make unexpected decisions in combat. He also has an enhanced sense of smell which allows him to detect and track dangers if the weather permits it.

Weakness: Asher's risk taking can be attributed to the fact that he tends to act on thoughts rather quickly. This can lead to rash decisions in combat that put him in danger. His concern for others also tends to get him involved in situations that could harm him. He is also rather weak at range, since Taifu can't fire in quick succession effectively. Also, Asher's increased sense of smell is the result of his poor eyesight; while he isn't blind, he has trouble seeing things at a distance.

WEAPON

Name: Taifu

Primary Form:
Taifu is a staff with a blade attached on each end. While in this form, it functions as any other staff, with the exception that it can be used to create powerful localized wind storms. The blades can be retracted to make Taifu easier to carry.

Secondary Form/Function:
The blades are attached to chains which are stored in the hilt in the first form. However, the blades can be fired and retracted in a fashion similar to a harpoon. This function allows the weapon to also be used as both a zip-line and grappling hook.

History:
Taifu is a family heirloom passed down to the first-born son of the Kaze family. Due to Asher and Aaron being twins, their parents chose an alternate method of passing on the heirloom. Asher and Aaron do not know the method their parents used, but the decision has been the cause of some tension between them.

Approved.
