## Appearance

### Pre-Escape

Asher is roughly 5'4", and is around 14 years old (he turns 15 later on).

He has pale skin, with various scars (mostly hidden by his clothes). Most notably, he has a scar on his right cheek, that traces all the way under his chin, down to his neck, along with more visible on the left side of his chest over his collarbone, almost entirely covered by his shirt. He also has heterochromia, his right eye being green while his left is blue.

He wears square-shaped glasses, as well as a white shirt with pastel blue and green stripes. He has a dark denim-colored jacket, with green and blue accents on the hood and pockets to match his eyes. Pale jeans, with coral-pink high top chunky sneakers to match his hair.

## Personality

Before the events leading up to the Lab Escape, Asher was a withdrawn and relatively quiet child who tried not to get in the way of others. While he does have moments of anger and sadness, it is often restrained and bottled up so well that even he doesn't realize it sometimes. He is also quite skittish and clumsy with social interaction, partially by fault of relying on his Blessing to understand others and by not seeking out interaction often.

Prior to recent years, Asher was highly optimistic and energetic, seemingly always happy and seeking silver linings in bad situations. He loved spending time with his mother, but never really made any friends. Ever since he came to the Lab, though, he's grown much more reserved and anxious, often locking himself away and avoiding people when he can.

Due to the nature of his Blessing, Asher is often susceptible to spells where he spaces out and drifts in another person's mind. This has worsened his relationship with the Laboratory as a whole, as many found it disarming.

## Powers & Abilities

Asher is blessed with extrasensory perception. He is able to pick up general thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, etc from everyone in a certain radius.

* He can only detect things on the surface however, and though he can push himself to pick up more information, doing so is extremely unhealthy for him.
* On top of this, if someone's thoughts/feelings are too "loud", negative side-effects will show, and worsen depending on the circumstances. Pushing himself too far also triggers these effects.
* He can only read a person clearly if he can see them, most clearly of all when he is able to see their face. If his line of sight on the target is obscured by, say, a wall, his readings will come back 'blurry' and unclear, but may give him at least hints to what they are feeling (most often the overarching emotion. for instance, if a person is having a panic attack in another room, he will only be able to pick up on them being scared.)

Negative side-effects, ranging from mildest to most severe, include: Headaches, light-headedness, nausea, excessive shaking, and/or passing out.

Asher is also highly prone to nightmares and overstimulation.
