- Ashby is rich and fancy and does anything he can to make himself look cultured... and rich and fancy. Little does he know, he just seems overbearingly pretentious!
- However, it is not his money that makes him act like this...
- Having spent most of his childhood in *~~*WHEAT FIELDS**~~* of America tries VERY VERY VERY hard to cover up his origins and prove himself capable of being an aristocrat!! Thusly, he bluffs what he knows a LOT. A LOT A LOT. (truth to be told, he doesn't actually like reading... he'd rather having his servant boy Dax read for him and give him a basic summary/opinion/analysis )
- He hates being proven wrong also and will act even more like a shiny jackass if you cross him. And then angst to himself when no one's looking....
- Secretly self-conscious and really stiff... And while, he DOES succeed in coming off as a high-class-rich-Londoner, he really is insecure about himself d'awww!!
- LOL EVEN ASHBY FIGHTS. He fences like a pro. FOR IT IS THE SPORT OF women and homos ARISTOCRACY
- HIS MUM AND DAD BOTH CAME FROM ANNOYINGLY WEALTHY FAMILIES. And the head of each annoyingly wealthy family decided the two would wed!!
- Ashby was born soon after to a miserable rather sickly inbred mother and a constantly-out-on-business father!! And then his father got trampled by an elephant on a trip to India whoops!!
- Not wanting to deal with British society any longer, Ashby's mum decided that it'd be a grand opportunity to make a move to America! And she took her little toddler with her!!
- And it was awesome.... Until Ashby's mum inbreeding illness got to her and she died when Ashby was 12.
- LUCKILY I AM *NOT* A COMPLETELY CRUEL BASTARD AND ASHBY SIMPLY ENDED UP MOVING BACK TO ENGLAND TO LIVE WITH HIS CHILL, CHILDLESS UNCLE!!
- Said uncle is a merchant and into the whole imperializing thing. So he makes Ashby accompany him on his trips to China sometimes. MUCH TO ASHBY'S DISCOMFORT stupid ping
- Xishi: Arranged to marry her. He thinks Xi Shi is pretty, but his screen is too bright to draw on and also he is homo she doesn't speak English and isn't amused by his cultured-ness which makes them INCOMPATIBLE!! He's not too thrilled by the prospect of marriage, but thinks it's okay because then Xishi can act as his beard.
- Ping: ONE DAY ASHBY WAS CRUISIN' ALONG IN CHINA WHEN PING YIN APPROACHED HIM WITH HIS BAG OF BOOTLEG GOODS. And then Ashby was all "lol you're kind of a dumbass" and it was love PURE SMOULDERING PING HATRED from that point on.
Ashby is disdainful of Ping and Ping is his mortal enemy. Ping stalks him down every summer he visits China and makes shit happen to him. - ORVILLE: Everybody considers Orville his rival but Ashby isn't interested in ladylove and isn't that invested in the marriage. He usually avoids Orville [even tho Orville is an incredibly good-natured spirit] because Orville is poor and French and he hates poor people and British people hate French people.
OTHERSTUFF:
- Ashby is steampunk for my laptop is bronze * u* He is scrawny for my laptop is small. He is also a guarded because he has the latest Anti-Norton Virus scan on it!! Oh and fucking Vista sux that's why he's pretentious
