Asher Brooks/3.0

Asher Brooks is a character role-played by WithExtraSauce.
== Background ==
Asher Brooks went to Middle School and High School with Echo Gray, Marek McFly, Taryn Adler, Katie Adler, and Rowan in California. They've been friends for over 10 years. The friend group have a famous group chat where they tell each other everything that's going on in their lives. Asher is the only one in the friend group to go to college and works at a hospital dealing with terminally ill children as a child psychologist - Asher doesn't deal with them directly and is more of a Director of the Department back at home. Asher is very close with Echo Gray and considers Echo his favorite person. 
Asher is Pansexual and doesn't do relationships. Asher self-identifies as a slut. Asher and Echo used to hook up with each other a lot, but haven't told anyone in the friend group because they don't want to make a big deal about it. Asher also hooked up with Marek and that wasn't revealed to the rest of the friend group till Asher visited Los Santos. 
Asher went to rehab for a month in his freshman year of college - Echo went with him but the rest of his friends covered for him so that their parents were unaware of his addiction of prescription pills. Asher steers clear of anything that would make him slip into addiction. Asher's personality is more like Echo's - he is very honest, supportive, and also thinks it's the friend group above everyone else. 
Asher's biological mom, Erin died in 2019 - the anniversary of her death is October 4th. Asher's father, Kelly Brooks got remarried to Jyn and the both of them had Hayden Brooks, who is 4 years old and that Asher loves a lot. Asher also has 4 dogs and 2 cats back at home. 
When Echo visited back home with Wade Wilson, she met up with Asher to spend some time with him. Asher got drunk and got the same "Wanted" face tattoo above his right eye that Wade and Echo got when the both of them were wanted for kidnapping and hurting Emerson Laurier. 
== Arriving in Los Santos ==
After Echo got shot in the head by Corey Graves and lost 7 months worth of her memories, Asher decided to take a trip to Los Santos to try to help Echo deal with her memory issues and bring stability in the friend group. On his first day in Los Santos, Asher told Echo that he took an indefinite LOA from his job back at home to stay in Los Santos for as long as she needed him and be a shoulder to lean on for the friend group. 
Asher has an interest in working with Los Santos Medical Group in the Psych Department as a Psychologist since he has vast experience from his job back at home. Eventually, Pixie Plum officially hired Asher onto Los Santos Medical Group as a Psychologist on October 5, 2023.
