Character
General
Name: Asheloux Thalantos Haton (Ash-low Tha-lan-tose Hah-ton)
Nickname: None. He dislikes it when people call him anything other than his given name. His nickname is not "Ashe" and he will get annoyed if you address him as so
Birthplace: Gridania
Age: 28: Born in 1550
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Bisexual - preference goes towards men, though romance is not a major part of his life nor is interesting for him. He doesn't even know what flirting is...
Class: Ninja. Uses black magic incorrectly and risks blowing self up for incorrect use.
Beliefs: While he was brought up to revere Halone, Asheloux became interested in Thaumaturgy and, thus, Nald'thal. However, once uninterested in their limited magic and becoming more interested in the void and darker magics and beyond, Asheloux's faith in the twelve technically is absent as he strives for something more than what the twelve gave to Eorzea.
Combat
General
Ninjutsu When Asheloux got lost and ended up in Limsa instead of Ul’dah, he found himself in a position where he was able to train with the Ninjas. He became very skilled for someone who had lived his life indoors up until that point and only trained as a dragoon with his father for a brief amount of time, and can execute attacks using the 3 mudras. He prefers Ninjutsu to Black Magic. His aether abilities are mostly reserved now for research and has excelled as a physical fighter.
Black Mage Asheloux is a fake Black Mage and is not naturally gifted at casting. He was brought up to be a physical fighter and mostly resorts to the techniques of Black Magic to actually cast. His usage is dangerous and if used too much he could risk self-incineration. Asheloux isn’t one to do the fighting on any expeditions he may partake in, so not many get to see his skills. If he does find that he needs to fight on an expedition, he's most likely to take two daggers along.

Appearance & Personality
Appearance
Asheloux, while very tall compared to most races, is actually on the shorter side for an Elezen. While he would tower over most, those of the same race tend to over at around half a head taller than him. His complexion is incredibly fair and reflects his indoor lifestyle. His face is also on the thin side, but not emaciated. He has the very lean feature very common of his race. His left and right eyes are mismatching, the right one being stark white and the left one is a deep red. This is impart due to an expert with Aether that went wrong. The experiment left Asheloux visually impaired in that eye, but also allowed him to visualize aether flows to the extent that he can more easily analyze aether. He usually covers his eyes with a pair of tinted glasses as to hide the oddity of his appearance. He isn’t self conscious about it, per say, but he doesn’t liked being asked questions about it. The accident also left white streaks in his otherwise jet black hair. His hair is short and relatively choppy and unkempt, but not sloppy. He cuts it himself with more than average skill but at the same time it is still rather uneven. His uncle made him dye over the white parts of his hair so he could be presentable. May go back to white form time to time.
His limbs are long and lean, pretty standard for an Elezen. He’s not exactly muscular but not fat. He is characteristically thin but since his speciality is in academia and magic, with some dual wielding training, he doesn’t have the body of say a seasoned swordsman. His hands are usually covered by some kind of glove, as though to prevent touching other people. He adorns himself with jewelry to boost airs about himself and wears casters’ robs of different varieties. For more fancy gatherings and important meetings, he will most likely show up in his artisan clothes.
He also has multiple scars along his back, arms, and hands, which is why he is usually covered from head to toe. The scars come from the beatings his father would give him, including the final one before his father's death.
He usually carries his mage staff with him as a precaution. Asheloux is a very mistrusting guy. He wouldn’t want to be caught without it.
There are times when Asheloux will go without his staff, and in that case he will usually be in the company of the Captains of his Alliance’s fleet. The other case would be when he has reasons to hide his identity. In that case, he will wear rogue attire. This isn’t that often though.
Personality
Asheloux is sharp-tongued and generally not sociable with people he deems are below him. Due to his upbringing, his lack of respect for others could solely be based on a person’s race. This is especially true for Miqo’te, Lalafell, Roegadyn, and Duskwight Elezen. For Hyur, it depends on mostly on his mood at the time. He is pretty straight-laced due to his academic upbringing and prefers formalities over pointless frivolities. That is not to say that he cannot enjoy himself in the right company. He gets along well with those who are like minded to him. He also is more relaxed around those who he doesn’t feel threaten his current existence in any way. He isn’t one to randomly strike up a conversation, but if he finds himself in a position conversing with a stranger, he knows how to put on airs to seem relatively normal. He not the type of person who one would ever be able to call their best friend.
He likes to make quips about others and is generally impatient with those who are slow or unwilling to try new things. Another interesting thing about Asheloux is that he will drop his stiff persona in a heartbeat if a conversation genuinely interests him. For example, if he is discussing a serious research passion, he may start to smile and talk more quickly. He is definitely a nerd through and through, but acts tough and has the strength to back it up.
Romantically, Asheloux is rather uninterested in most potential partners. He has found himself attracted towards both men and women, but more-so men. He can admire either gender’s beauty, and mostly leans towards men because of his lack of ability to properly communicate outside of people who are similar to him.
After his most recent incident of watching a close associate-friend-almost die, he has mellowed out--a lot. Still arrogant, but mellowed out a lot.
