Ashley stands at 5'2" and sports a slim build. Her skin tone is light, and her hair reaches to about the middle of her forearm. It's naturally curled and brown, although the shade can vary quite a lot. Sometimes, her hair will be a light, golden-brown color - a near blonde. Other times, her hair is almost dark enough to be considered a near-black - not quite, though. Ashley's eyes are a natural hazel color. Although, like her hair, the exact color can vary from a light brown to a sharp, emerald green, Ashley's hazel eyes tend to lean a bit to the green side.

"If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds." ~ Jesse Jackson




Imageπροσωπικότητα


Ashley is a highly ambitious and hard-working person. She always seems to bite off more than she can chew, but in the end, Ash pulls it together. She's a successful person, with a high IQ and high grades and citizenship in high school. She's a rather bold person - brutally honest, maybe. Ashley is damn straightforward; she doesn't pull any punches. Her personality is coarse and tough - some might call her harsh, or too intense. She's rather serious, but despite that, she has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor.
Her actions may seem a bit brash, and Ashley has grown a bit more reckless than she used to be. Although a diligent worker, Ashley isn't a fan of the rules. She's taking bigger risks nowadays, and doesn't exactly play it safe. She's grown to realize that she's not working to prove anything to anyone else.




να σε γνωρίσω
==========>
likes. her "english tendencies", her brother, archery, animals, wolves, winning, beating people's asses.
dislikes. losing (who doesn't?), not being the best, hammers, her brother (yup, he's here too), coffee.
strengths. successful, hard-working, incredible at target sports (or things like shooting baskets).
weaknesses. blunt - almost to the point of cruelty, perhaps too outspoken, pushes herself too hard, doesn't get nearly enough sleep.
fears. fear of being manipulated, fear of going against those who are extremely powerful compared to her.




ψυχή
"Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it." ~ Winston Churchill




ImageΕξουσίες


Ashley, like her elder twin brother, Karl, is superior at archery. She practically never misses the exact bulls-eye, and can shoot from longer distances. Her skills at archery may be slightly better than her brother's, but it is evened out by Karl's light powers. Along with her accuracy with a bow and arrow, Ash has overall improved aim. Her skills at other activities requiring aim are also raised, such as knife-throwing, axe-throwing, or even basketball and softball. Ashley also has heightened senses. Her eyesight is as sharp as the eyesight of a bird of prey. Her night vision is as good as an owl's. Her hearing is also superior due to her link with animals, along with her sense of smell, and even taste. Despite this, her animal manipulation is most impressive. She can choose to completely control an animal or multiple animals to do her bidding. However, she has her limits. It is easier for her to control a massive swarm of bees than to manipulate a small pack of wolves and a cat at the same time. While Ashley can completely manipulate an animal to heed her, it's more effective to work alongside the animal rather than to control it. The more she controls an animal, the more Ashley develops its features - however, this is also based on the actual animal. The first thing that changes when Ash manipulates or works alongside an animal is her eyes. She tends not to develop the actual eye shape of the animal, although it can happen. She usually receives the animal's eye color, though. For instance, if she is controlling a cat with a right teal eye and a left amber eye, Ash's eye color will change to match up with that. Same with an odd-eyed lemur, or even a red-eyed tree frog (this is only her iris). Depending on the animal, Ash's ears can change as well. For instance, cat ears are more likely to develop, while dolphin ears are not.



Προφίλ
==========>
gifts. a bow and arrow.
card image. a face of a half woman and half cat. The card is mainly in black and white, except for the eyes, which seem to glow a bold purple. There is a thin wound under the human eye, on the cheekbone. It is still dripping blood.

So begins...

This was absolutely crazy.

It was Ashley's birthday. And then, the famed apocalypses in those crazy TV shows actually happened for real. If it weren't for her knowledge on the games, Ashley would've thought the world was malfunctioning.

Ah, yes, the infamous Game of the Gods. A crazy game held every few centuries or so to satisfy the gods' amusement. Ashley hated them. Yes, she loved competition. But these games? It was either die, or become immortal. Ashley would never want either of those things. Death was a part of life, and she embraced that a long time ago. After all, who would want to live forever? You would have to get bored at some point.

Although, the victors of the games never really did live forever. They lived forever until the next games. But who would want to partake in the games a second time? The victors probably didn't want to, though.

Ashley was walking through the ruins of Utah - or so she thought. Ashley didn't really know where she was, to be honest. She was simply following a pull. Why? Because she had to.

As Ashley followed the pull, she heard a faint call. "My light blinds you." She stiffened, before relaxing. The voice was Karl's.

Ashley walked through the town, her left hand gripping her bow. Suddenly, as she heard the faint crumble of footsteps in debris, Ashley whirled around, her bow drawn and ready to be released. "MY LIGHT BLINDS YOU." Her mind screamed the words as Ashley's vision turned white for a few moments. Soon enough, her vision returned to normal, and the brunette caught sight of a very familiar face.

"Karl," she snapped sharply. "Don't do that."

But Karl merely grinned his signature crooked smile. "Not my intention to do...whatever I did," he responded. "You did it too. Your call really gives people a massive headache."

Title: Ruler of Knowledge || Dialogue:#179465

ImageA week ago, a man's voice had announced The Trickster's passing. "The trickster is no more," was the direct quote and the thought of how in these conditions pricked Sage's heart. They were pawns in a greater game, but they were only human at the core.

Sage paced for some time hoping those that she communicated with got her message and followed their instincts about it. She had quite the role ahead of her and it was a risky move prompting them all together so early on, reducing it to the size of one building. Though they couldn't harm each other on holy ground, one step outside and it could be a blood bath. But it also felt like the right move, or rather the only move left. For risk would come the only chance of reward.

"Beautiful to look at, deadly to touch." Sage heard first faintly. Like a poisonous plant. She didn't look up until the call grew much louder and she heard the old church door creak open. The Queen of Thorns was the first to enter and the moment they spotted each other, she shifted into an offensive posture. Sage's gaze turned to stone. Unfortunately, Sage couldn't entirely blame her or hate her for that.

A few more filed in slowly, their calls the first to announce their nearing. Sage had gathered what numbers she could of them but she could not make them stay so she was best to cut to the chase. “As you may or may not know, we are special individuals with unique abilities. But the purpose of us being here isn't some great cause...yet. We live to outlast each other and the victor gets immortality for five hundred years. At this rate we are nothing but pawns and a means of entertainment. But the gods can't have their game if we keep each other alive.” Sage met their gazes steadily but the worse was yet to be said. The contradiction of it all. “However, there are others out there like us who have lost touch with humanity and they need to be stopped. They will treat us like the enemy so you should do the same. The people in this room is what matters most. I'm proposing an alliance. And for us to figure out how to end these games once and for all, together.”

Dialogue: #62039E


As more and more players piled in the church Scarlett was internally freaking out. She was already wary when she realized The Ruler of Knowledge was here and then The Temptress, Lord of Lightning, and best of all The Warrior, walk through the door. Scarlett also heard the calls of The Huntress, The Hunter, The Inferno, and The Hollow Man, which meant that they were most likely coming here as well. What the hell is going on? Scarlett knew that it was natural for players to merge, but she had never heard of it happening like this before.

While she waited for the ruler to speak, she surveyed her competitors. The ruler seemed to be a bit nervous based on the way she was pacing back and forth. She seemed pretty healthy as Scarlett did, which of course was due to there special abilities. It was rare to see any girls after the apocolypse, let alone healthy ones. The few Scarlett had seen had been slaves that were dragged around by chains. Men had tried to do the same to Scarlett, but one glance at her thorn claws and they took off running.
The Temptress was also around Scarlett's age and had long auburn hair. Even while the girl's powers were dormant, she had an alluring presence to her that made Scarlett want to draw closer. It seems that this game is full of powerful and beautiful women. Scarlett always liked to see some girl power, so she was pleased with this knowledge.

Admittedly though, the Lord of lightning was pretty cute. He seemed to be confused and if Scarlett had to guess, she would say that he was not aware of the game that they playing. As for The Warrior, he looked terrifying in his all black armor. Scarlett knew he was a man, but she could not see what he looked like with the armor covering him from head to toe. Scarlett was not happy to be in the same room as the man who had won the last game.

Seeming to want to get her message across, The Ruler of Knowledge finally spoke.  “As you may or may not know, we are special individuals with unique abilities. But the purpose of us being here isn't some great cause...yet. We live to outlast each other and the victor gets immortality for five hundred years. At this rate we are nothing but pawns and a means of entertainment. But the gods can't have their game if we keep each other alive.” The ruler met their gazes as if they were not going to like the next part. “However, there are others out there like us who have lost touch with humanity and they need to be stopped. They will treat us like the enemy so you should do the same. The people in this room is what matters most. I'm proposing an alliance. And for us to figure out how to end these games once and for all, together.”

Scarlett sat in shock. End the game? That was unheard of. She wasn't even sure if it was possible and yet, she couldn't stop the glimmer of hope she felt from the ruler's words. Scarlett would do anything to escape the horrid fate that was forced upon her. The only downside to this plan is that she would still have to kill some people, but Scarlett was willing to make that sacrifice for the overall outcome.

She stood from her spot in the pew and said, "I'll gladly join your alliance. I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done to end this game."

Dialogue: #DDCD20


WHAT. THE. HELL.

If Aiden thought he was losing it before, he's really losing it now. He came to this creepy ass church for some unknown reason and then all these weird people around his age start pouring in and coming together like they're all part of some freaky cult. Then a guy, at least Aiden thinks it's a guy, comes in wearing black armor like some evil knight. To top it all off, blondie starts talking about being pawns in a game, and winning immortality, and killing people.

Maybe Aiden is dreaming. Yep. That's right. Any minute now, he's going to wake up and find out that the apocolypse hadn't happened. His siblings would still be alive, his parents would still be alive, and he would have his normal life back with none of his weird lightning powers. Hold on a minute. Powers. Didn't blondie say something about special abilities? How would she know about Aiden's powers? Is she... is she telling the truth?

No, of course not. It doesn't even make sense because if it was true, why is she the only one who knows about it.

Suddenly the brunette girl with the darker complexion stood up,"I'll gladly join your alliance. I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done to end this game."

Seriously? Does everyone here know what's going on, but me? Aiden still didn't know what was going on or what to believe, but he was starting to connect some things. The powers, the voices, the random floating images, they're all connected and Aiden is starting to think that these particular people are somehow involved in whatever is happening to him. Aiden was still unsure, but he decided he was going to listen to what they had to say.

Karl trailed his sister and she led the way to...who knows where. Their relationship was like one of those twin things in some stories. The little sister was the leader, and the older twin brother was the bodyguard. Sidekick. Whatever. To be honest, Karl didn't have a problem with that. Just as long as Ashley wasn't leading him to certain death.

"Sis, you know I love ya," Karl began, gripping his bow. "But do you have any idea where we're going?"

Ashley halted and spun around. She wasn't glaring at him, but if Karl wasn't Ashley's twin brother, he would be intimated as hell."I'm following the pull," she stated simply. "You can't feel it?" After those brusque two sentences, Ashley faced forward once again and continued on her trek.

Oh! Karl thought with sudden realization. That's what that thing was! Karl wasn't going to lie, compared to his sister, he wasn't the brightest person out there. He was far from stupid, but not as sharp as Ashley.

Suddenly, as Ashley stopped abruptly, Karl heard voices in his head. "Fast as lightning." "Fear the unknown." "Beautiful to look at, deadly to touch." "Bow down to my mighty swords!" Karl almost jerked back at the last one. Damn, the dude was intense.

Karl was thrown back into the present as Ashley made some hand gesture at him. Hey, she was the one who knew ASL. Not him.

Ashley jerked a finger towards the church in front of the twins. Karl furrowed a brow, then shrugged. He knew that the both of them could feel the pull.

Ashley slowly and silently plucked an arrow out of her quiver and readied her bow, Karl following suit. The siblings approached the church, as silent as leopards stalking their prey. Which was fitting, considering that the twins were both holding a bow and had a quiver of arrows strapped to their backs at this very moment.

Ashley silently set her hand on the door handle. Karl winced, knowing what was coming. His sister silently and oh-so-gently curled her fingers around the handle and slammed the door open in a flash. Said door whammed against the building wall with a loud boom. Literally anyone in the church would be scared out of their wits. Ashley was intense like that.
