Asher is a lean, pale-skinned young man with pitch-black eyes and messy black hair. His body is covered in numerous scars, including a deep scar on his upper lip and a self-inflicted Proxy symbol on his neck. He has several piercings, including a septum ring, snake bites, and stretched earlobes with tunnels. His usual attire consists of dark clothing suited for mobility and stealth.

Personality[]

Asher is emotionally unstable, impulsive, and socially awkward. Despite his violent tendencies, he seeks emotional connection and approval from others. He is fiercely loyal to those who show him kindness and will go to extreme lengths to protect or please them. He avoids harming children and shows signs of a distorted moral compass. He suffers from schizophrenia, dysthymia, social phobia, PTSD, and has a background as an adult child of alcoholics (DDA).

Background[]

Asher was born on October 31st to a mother suffering from postnatal depression and an abusive father. He endured psychological and physical abuse throughout his childhood. At age 9, his father injured him with a broken bottle, leaving a permanent scar. His only childhood companion, a neighbor’s cat, was run over deliberately by his father when Asher was 10. This event broke him emotionally, though briefly reconnected him with his mother.

By age 12, Asher had joined a group of older teens who introduced him to drugs. He became addicted and began experiencing hallucinations at age 14. A year later, he entered a secret relationship with an older boy, Dave, who provided him medication for his schizophrenia. The relationship ended traumatically when Asher discovered Dave’s infidelity. Under the influence of drugs and psychosis, Asher killed and cannibalized him in a blind rage.

After fleeing the scene, Asher encountered Slenderman, who ordered him to kill his family. Initially hesitant, Asher complied—murdering his alcoholic father and quickly ending his mother’s life to spare her pain. In a final act of devotion, he carved the Proxy symbol into his neck. Slenderman accepted him and brought him to the Mansion, where he was introduced as a new Proxy.
