Being a part-time model, Ashton clearly has the looks the career demands. The young man is tall and lean, height topping out at a fair 6 feet, zero inches. His features are all smooth and angular, giving his face a somewhat sensuous look. Unmarred skin is tanned very lightly to give him a trace of a golden glow, sported proudly when he chooses to go with an attire of sleeveless shirts. Usually found in his mischievously curved lips is a cigarette, a habit he picked up when he was younger. Ashton rarely smokes them in front of others unless under extreme stress.

Topping his head is messily styled hair a shade of black so dark it almost appears blue. It falls in his face and flares out at the sides, giving him a sort of bed-head look. To the touch, it is silky and somewhat soft, though anyone touching his hair better be a hair stylist. His most recognizable features are his amber-brown eyes, which always seem to be glowing with a slow, heated passion. They spark up when amused and dull when upset, giving clear indication of his mood to those accustomed to Ashton.

Most of Ashton's attire seems to be of a punk variety, perhaps to attract fans. His favourite outfit, however, is a dark blue dress-like shirt worn over a plain, V-neck black shirt, loose dark jeans and accessorized with a pink and black tie. His shoes are the only constant, a pair of black and white loafers that seem to be in impeccable condition - and probably very expensive. Other than that, most of Ashton's outfits are either extremely dressy or too nice to wear outdoors. Also carries a pair of trendy sunglasses to add to his appeal, and likes to wear rings and bracelets.

Personality: Unlike most true models, Ashton is fairly relaxed where they are demanding and petty. He acts just as spoiled as the rest of them, but he won't force people to do what he wants because he believes earning things through hard work is better. However, he does suffer from the vanity that comes with his line of work, and is always fretting over his appearance, and his Pokémon's too. If they aren't as gorgeous as he is, then they are not presentable to the general public.

Ashton is fairly feminine as well, freaking out over small things like his hair being a total disaster, dirty clothes, bugs and the best gossip. If someone has secrets to keep, Ashton is the worst possible person to tell; he has quite the pair of loose lips and will use anything as ammunition for gossip. This also may act in his favour; learning crucial pieces of information to use as leverage over someone else is always a boon.

When it comes to girls, he can be quite the charmer, but if he senses someone just playing with him, Ashton will turn into quite the cold wolf and drive them away. He hates when people try to toy with or manipulate him, and will relentlessly attack them with spiteful words if annoyed enough. This less than pleasant side is quashed down, but barely, as there are a few things that may instantly fire up his temper, such as abuse towards Pokémon, girls, or brushing off his abilities as a trainer.

History: Growing up with only his sister, both parents having vanished from his life in distressing ways (his mother passing away giving birth, his father leaving due to being unable to cope with two children), Ashton was immersed in Pokémon as soon as possible. His sister, being in her late teens, was able to rear Ashton by managing several jobs, leaving him in the care of her Pokémon, Froslass and Cincinno. These particular 'mons were highly interested in beauty, and often played with Ashton, dressing him up and causing him to become fascinated with looking good.

When he was seven, he asked his sister if he could go to the park with the two Pokémon, to which she reluctantly agreed. All dolled up, the boy and his companions played happily until a professional looking man in a crisp suit pointed him out and handed him a card, telling him to get his guardian to call him. As it turned out, the man was a fashion scout of sorts, and Ashton was a perfect fit for the next campaign of a very popular clothing line. Figuring the pay was good, Ashton's sister signed him up and gave him his start into the world of modeling.

The next 13 years were spent hustling from school to modeling jobs, making his life a frantic mess that just didn't involve Pokémon or anyone besides his sister, and ended up with him taking up smoking. Ashton's vanity and ego soon began to swell, and eventually this began driving a wedge between himself and his sister. She exploded on him, shouting that he was an arrogant prick who couldn't survive on his own and that he needed to have reality slap him in the face. This prompted him to fire back that just because she'd taken care of him didn't mean she had the right to criticize who he was.

It was then that she suggested he get out of her place and find somewhere else to go. Fuming, Ashton packed up his stuff and left, crashing at a friend's place for a while. It took a good while, but he realized soon enough that his sister was right, and he needed to become a little more grounded. Talking things over with his manager, the young man convinced him to allow him to take a trip to Johto, for 'fashion purposes'; basically to study the culture and see what was trendy, though it was more a trip to help himself stop acting so vain and needy.


Goals: - Become more famous in Johto
- Return to Unova and show his sister a changed man
- Beautify each and every Pokémon he can
- Scope out the fashion trends


Other Info: Upon arriving in New Bark Town, he catches a thief in the act of making off with some Pokémon and stops him. The owner isn't around, so Ashton decides to take them along with him until he can find their master.
