## Appearances

### Debut

Spy Series

**Ashton Thornwood** is a character in Spy Series and Kashton Series and an oc belonging to Kai (admin). Ashton is uranic (attracted to men and non binary people) and on the asexual spectrum although he doesn't feel labels are that important. His pronouns are he/him. Ashton is a wizeard born with mage powers but later learned to channel some of his magic into becoming a healer. Like the rest of his family, he started as a DMDA agent but later pursues a university education and a career in magic and dimensional focused medicine. He lived in Sydney Australia during Spy Series where he was born, then moves further north to Cairns in Kashton Series. He resides there with his partner Kai where he currently lives today.

## Personality

Ashton is a very reserved and distant person who is often quick to anger and rarely ever smiles. He is very pessimistic, cynical and likely has depression. He used to be a slightly happier person but was never the same after the loss of his sister, Avery. He comes across cold and serious to people he is not close with and often makes sarcastic and sometimes even mean remarks. He is somewhat of a control freak. He does have a softer, caring side though which is more obvious with the people he has become close to, notably his partner, Kai. Ashton is also a protective person, sometimes overly so, to the dismay of his twin sister Asterin who he shares a close bond with.

## Interests

Ashton's interests include magibiology and medicine, something which he would like to pursue a career in even if it means having to leave the DMDA to do it. He does a lot of reading in his spare time and loves and collects comic books, something he shares enjoyment of with Kai, although he is ashamed to admit it. Ashton also loves schoolwork and spends hours researching just for the sake of it, which is one reason why he was a straight A student.

## Powers

Ashton is a mage which means he can manipulate magic like an extra part of his body and use it to create moveable objects and as a weapon. Ashton is often sent on DMDA assignments because of his powerful abilities, which both of his parents also have. Despite this, his true ambition is to become a magidoctor so he also took up learning healing powers against his parent's wishes, as channelling your birth powers into something else can be dangerous. Ashton managed to do this successfully though and is now capable of healing minor injuries with magic as well as being a mage.

## Biography

Along with his twin sister Asterin and younger sister Avery, Ashton was born into the DMDA. Ashton was raised in their department in Sydney and when he was 15 he started his training and work as an agent himself. He was often in close-quarters with his siblings so they all grew very close to one another. Naturally, Ashton took this work very seriously as is the way he is.

About a year into being an agent, he was one of the people sent to deal with an incident involving a cross-dimensional criminal group from Japan/Aiirya, after they had managed to break into the DMDA department. This would turn out to be the gang run by Baku Hara of which Kai was still a part of, and Ashton would have his first encounter with Kai (which wasn't very pleasant.) Kai had actually been sent to assassinate Ashton by Baku as an act of revenge for the DMDA targeting them previously but they never managed to do it when they saw Ashton was only their age-Kai was still bereaved from the death of Airi too, so felt wronged by Baku. Frustrated, Baku set off to do it himself but due to a miscommunication, it was Avery that he ended up killing and Ashton was the one that found her mutilated body. Kai was the only one there (having killed Baku previously and trying to run away only to stumble upon Avery's dead body) so Ashton mistakenly thought it was them, and the two got into a heated, magic power fuelled fight (this was where Ashton received a bite mark on his shoulder-from Kai's fangs) until some other agents from the DMDA appeared to take Kai into custody. The event obviously left Ashton with trauma and PTSD and a resentment towards Kai, even if the DMDA decided to forgive Kai for their past and start training them as one of their own agents. Ashton also developed OCD and anorexia as a result of feeling out of control, and extreme guilt from the situation. (Especially when he found out it was meant to be himself that was killed-he wishes it was him instead of his sister.)

Ashton was one of the people assigned to train Alexis Del a Rosa with her empath powers. Like with everyone he meets, Ashton was cold towards her at first but the two ended up becoming good friends, although nothing more as a lot of people thought they would, as Ashton found out he was not attracted to woman, and Alexis turned out to be a lesbian. As a naturally distrustful and protective person though, Ashton thought that Alexis's current partner, Melvin Grey was up to no good, which he was somewhat correct with. When Melvin eventually joined the DMDA though, he got along well with him and they are even now friends.

Ashton has had several encounters with a local faerie, Hollie Nightsea, who seems to be infatuated with him. Ashton obviously does not reciprocate those feelings and Hollie's mischievous and troublesome ways often get on his nerves, although he does not completely hate faer. Fae are more of an annoyance to him than an enemy. He tolerates Hollie appearing out of the blue at completely random times and being around throughout his travels with Kai.

One person he was never distrustful of, and who he highly respected as a notable magic scholar, was his twin sister Asterin's partner, Camden, even when he turned out to be hiding his lycanthropy later. Asterin was very happy about this as Ashton was very protective of her, having already lost one of his sisters.

For a long time, Ashton did not trust Kai at all, treating them as an enemy and refusing to get along with them, and Kai returned those feelings. Ashton also had some prejudice against so called "demon powered" individuals due to what had happened and since Kai was considered "demon powered" there was another reason to dislike them. They were forced to be together a lot though as they were often sent on assignments together. Although reluctant to have any sort of conversation with Kai at first, Ashton found he actually had a few things in common with Kai, and they were both hurt and traumatised. They eventually ended up not hating each other anymore but they weren't friends yet either. They had even begun to fall in love with one another, although there was no way either of them would admit it. When neither of them could hide their feelings for each other anymore, they started a purely sexual relationship together (something Kai decided on since Ashton is asexual, but Ashton was willing to do it, and Kai ended up being his first sexual experience) but it still took a while for them to admit they were romantically into each other too. When Ashton was visiting relatives in Cairns with his family, and Kai had come with them, the two ended up declaring their love for each other and had sex on an empty beach together.

Kai and Ashton remained together from then on and Ashton no longer hated Kai or had distrust for them. Ashton also unlearned a lot of his prejudice towards "demon powered" wizeards and defended them heavily against magicists throughout the DMDA's reform of magic power classification, until Lorelai Silvers was no longer in power and there was no longer any danger towards the rights of wizeards with certain powers.

Ashton went on to pursue his dream of becoming a magidoctor and began learning healing powers. His parents, Adam and Ainsley did not approve of this at first but they eventually obliged when they realised how skilled Ashton was and that he was capable of learning a new power. Ashton still worked for the DMDA part time but he began attending a university course in magic and dimensional focused medicine and earned a degree in that. After graduating, he moved to his own place in Cairns, with Kai. He took a few years off to travel alongside Kai on a magizoological trip around the world documenting dragons and other magical creatures. It was during this trip they got engaged and they eventually married. Kai also found out they were pregnant during the trip so they had their first child shortly after.
