Faceclaim : Thomas Sangster

Appearance : Standing tall and proud at 5ft10 (1.79cm), he doesn't have the typical caucasian look of blue eyes and blonde hair. Instead, his eyes are dark brown and have a short light brown hair to contrast it. He posses a slim body build, almost skinny you can call it.

Elaboration : 
» Asher King never relies on his status and wealth to get what he wants but he depends on his wits and charms. He's the kind of individual that can't be categorised into any kind of clique or stereotype. He has the ability to fit into anywhere he desires to. He has not only his baby face and a smile always present on his lips as a way to get people to automatically lower their guard with him, Asher also extremely perceptive of others and very aware of his surrounding. He uses those to his advantage and will be able to grasp an understanding of the person persons he's interacting with. Then he will act accordingly. That is how he can able to manipulate people at will, of course with a tiny bit help of his charismatic nature. Asher can be described as cunning not in a conventional way. He enjoys mind game, he doesn't play dirty in a practical way but rather he prefers talking his way into cornering someone, have them bare all their feeling and emotions to him. He also is persistent, he won't give up just because of one hiccup and will continue it to the end. (Most of this part of his personality can only be seen after he entered SRI and started investigating, it is necessary.)

» However, around the people that he doesn't have to have his guard up, he's generally genuine. No one can be fake and manipulative all the time. Around his friends and family, Asher is more relaxed and surprisingly mischievous. Again, he tends to mess around with his friends by the mind game just for fun, no harmful intent. He's emotionally detached to most, only because he never takes anything seriously. They described that he's unpredictable only because he basically lived inside his mind and no one knows what's going on in there.

EXCERPT OF YOUR LIFE
 
"In this world, nothing is black and white and that's grey area, my friend, is our playground."
Background : 
» Phase one: Bearing the last name King was never easy, the responsibility and the pressure that came along with it is tremendous. He obviously did not have it as bad as his older sister, Ava, who was chosen to be the heiress to the King Corporations since birth. (But if she doesn't want to take it when she's older, Asher must take that position). Thank goodness his family never cares much for gender role so young Asher got lucky because rules and restrictions are more relaxed for him. However, he still is given the training necessary in case one day he will be forced to take up the position of the heir.

People often described young Asher as a mischievous and carefree child, two traits that he still possesses until today. He never cares much for rules and restrictions, Asher likes to find ways and loopholes to get around it and he often succeeded. His intelligent can be seen from a young age but many stated, it's unfortunate he doesn't use them to help his family. Even at the young age, Asher never shows any interest in their family business and all that jazz. He enjoys chess, a bonding game for everyone in his family because they are the King, after all, get it? Asher also picks up a liking for mysteries and puzzle solving after randomly stumbled on an Agatha Christie's novel. And since then, mystery, murders, murderers and the psychology behind them become his main muse in life.

He moved to Westchester county around junior year of high school because of his sister. His family thinks no place can nurture a young heiress better than New York, Westchester University and not very coincidentally that his father is an alumnus there. And so, not wanting his sister to be alone in a foreign country, he persisted to go with her.

» Phase two: Surprisingly, Asher enjoys school life. It exposed him to a wider world. He enjoys meeting all kind of different people and talking to them. Asher is a likeable person and is well liked by his peers. He never sticks to one group or clique in school but rather a kind of person that knows everyone and is known by everyone. The reason behind his well-likeness is simple, he's perceptive and patient with others but at the same time he gives off a carefree and a bit detached vibe, that gives them the comfort of assuming Asher won't be looking for anything else in their friendship. He never gets too personal and never judgemental and for these rich kids that always have to be wary of people taking advantage of them, Asher is like a safe ground. However, psychology wise, it plays against them. They lower their guards around Asher and often unintentionally let him know more than he should have. But Asher is a trustworthy person, so it's okay. He never actually leaks anything or does anything of the same sort, it's more like he's just enjoys collecting information and profiling people. He's generally is a good friend to everyone. Also, Asher doesn't do that bad in the academic area, he's never at the top of the class but he's satisfied with being in the top ten and maintaining it throughout his school life.
Upon his move to New York, the first friend he made was Lucas Ashworth, another British kid just like him. They get along immediately due to their similar sociable personality. Of course, along with Lucas, he met Henry, Lucas' twin. Henry is a bit harder to get along than Lucas, obviously with his brooding and cynical nature. Asher also felt like for a while Henry did not buy his act of friendliness and regarded him with uttermost scepticism. He also the recalled the younger twin of the two called him 'fake' a couple of times. Another person that came in the package with the Ashworth twin is Jakob Lebedev. Now this kid and Asher have an interesting 'friendship', friendship is in quotation mark because Jakob does not call people his friends easily and Asher never cares enough about that matter. However, they do get along well when they do meet and talk but that's about it, minus the faint fascination Asher has with how intelligent the young boy is.

»Phase three: It is no surprise that he entered Westchester University after high school. Asher already has a clear goal and idea in mind of what he wants to do in university and for the future. He chose criminology, the study of law and criminal behaviour. He has been interested in the human brain and their psychology for the longest time, but criminal psychology is what really got him curious. He often wonders what's going on inside their mind when they commit their crime, what lead to that decision and how they plan everything. Criminal psychology is just like an unsolved twisted puzzle that Asher would like to understand and solve. So joining the Stirling Ridge Irregulars club makes perfect sense to him. And also, Im Hana is a pretty good friend of his. Only because he never judge her for what she does and she tells him interesting stories.
He lived with his sister for about two years and moved out to his own apartment when he entered his second year of university.

Relationships : 

       fc: Keira Knightleyfc: keira knightley
             
» Ava Athena King » 23 » Older sister
                 | kind. gentle. caring. charming |


Ava is the closest person to Asher, despite their two years difference, they're like each other best friend. Asher is fiercely protective over his sister and admires his sister so much. After all, she did agree to take up the heiress position not because she wanted to but because she knows Asher want to do something else with his life. 

       
                    » River Frasier » 23 » Bestfriend
           | humourous. witty. strategic. charismatic |


River is Asher's best friend back in England despite their two years age difference. They have known each other for roughly almost 10 years now and River is the only person other than his sister that Asher trust with his life. River is also not very coincidentally dating Ava and that was the only time that Asher ever considered punching his best friend. Moved to New York two years after the King siblings for the expansion of his family business but is also the reason why Asher moved out so that River and Ava can have their privacy. 

       
      
»  Risa Matsugami » 21 » Closed friend/fake gf
             | shy. sheltered. humble. hardworking |


The relationship between Asher and this half Japanese, half French model/artist is very uncleared. He met her in his first year of university and have been 'friends' since. Even back then, she already started her modelling career. Risa, for some odd reason, was the one who approached Asher first, with such an interesting deal of being each others' 'fake' date as a way to avoid others hitting on them. And so they went as each other's date for every formal event since the mid-sophomore year and not once they went with a different person. Their interaction has never gone past the platonic friendship but as the time go on, the line started to start to get muddled up.  

        
»Henry Ashworth Jr. » 21 » The other Ashworth twin. 

Henry wasn't easy to be friend with compared to his twin. Surprisingly, while Asher is a better friend with Lucas, he, however, shares more commons with Henry in term of hobbies and interest, for example, chess. Asher doesn't play chess outside of his family but Henry is the only exception because Henry is actually a challenge. They aren't friends per se but Henry's original scepticism toward Asher probably lower by now because technically Asher hasn't done anything bad. They acknowledge each other's existent and occasionally play chess together, that's their 'friendship'.

      
         
» Jakob Lebedev » 19 » The genius kid

Much like Henry, this kid is also hard to become friends with. Asher, however, enjoys talking Jakob, only because how he carries himself and his vast knowledge and intelligence. Asher has no problem in outwardly expressing his awed for the younger one. 
     
       
» Dexter Haynes » 47 » The chill professor

Despite what everyone says about professor H. Asher actually likes him a lot. He got to be the most chill professor on the campus and that's enough to make him Asher's favourite professor. Asher also has some classes throughout the years with the man. The two get along pretty well because well when you put the two don't give a people together, everything is much easier and simpler.
    
                 
» Im Hana » 20 » The mystery

Hana was a pretty good friend of Asher. He enjoys talking to her because she had such an interesting and candid view on everything. Her stories often left Asher bewildered and amused. Their friendship was purely platonic, contrary to popular belief. It's actually pretty easy to befriend with Hana. Rule number one and the only rule, not judging her for what she does but actually listen to her when she talks.   

Lifestyle : 
» Asher is not a very physical kind of person, he relies on his brain most of the time so he can be seen sleeping whenever he can or just lounge around, doing whatever he pleases. He usually doesn't get out of bed before 11 am and he sleeps late as well. He enjoys staying up through the night, for no reason. He lives alone so he has the freedom of eating whatever and whenever he wants. His eating and sleeping schedule is basically non-existent. He can cook for himself, thank goodness. He isn't great but at least it is edible. Asher often can be seen reading mystery novels or solving some kind of puzzle. Or watching documentaries on psychopaths and serial killers. He also visits his sister pretty often because for the food and also to hang out with his best friend. Them two own a husky named Nox, which Asher absolutely adored.

WELCOME TO ROOM 101
 
'SUP! MY NAME'S JAKOB, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME WHATEVER. UMM... IT SAYS HERE, ACCORDING TO HENRY, THE BROODING GUY TO YOUR LEFT, I NEED TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS. SO, UM... YEAH! BEFORE WE START, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE GOT THE RIGHT PERSON, YOU'RE ASHER KING, RIGHT? 
Asher's lips curved into a soft smile before nodding, "Yes, that's right. It's pretty short and simple compared to a lot of the names around this campus, don't you think?" Unlike lots of people, he met, Asher actually likes his entire name.

SO, QUESTION ONE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO? YOU DO KNOW WHAT THE STERLING RIDGE IRREGULARS DO RIGHT? 
"I wouldn't be here if I don't." Asher raised his eyebrows full of amusement at the younger one, "this is the only club that I signed up for throughout my entire university life, so yes, I think I have a pretty clear idea what it is about."

COOL. RIGHT. NICE. IT SAYS HERE, I NEED TO ASK YOU WHY YOU WANTED TO JOIN. SO. WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN? 
He leaned back relaxingly on the chair and hummed, "hmm, well because mysteries and murders excite me. Well, that sounds horrible doesn't it?" He chuckled, "but that is the simplest way I can put it. I'm interested in solving this, I want to see how different it is in real life compared to novels. and plus, Im Hana was my friend too."

COOL, COOL, COOL, COOL. FANTASTIC REASONING! WHAT CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE CLUB? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED USELESS PEOPLE IN HERE. 
Asher only lifted his lips into a confident smirk, "Well, first of all, resources, that's a given. Secondly, I major in criminology so I have a pretty good knowledge of the psychology of criminals and the law. I can deduce the possible motives for the crime and by looking at the clues left behind, I also can draw possible conclusions on what kind of person he or she is. Thirdly and most importantly, I can provide connection and information, and I'm not talking about the type that you can get because of your family status. I practically know everyone on the campus and I can say with confidence that most of them will tell me what they know, where else will be better to start the investigation than our campus. So possible evidence and suspects, I can gather them if needed to. I also know a few people that live outside the law, the underground people. You'd be surprised at how much they know what's going on around that the police tries to cover up." He finished, his smirk widen, "Useful enough?"   

I GUESS THAT'S USEFUL...? AND NOW TO THE QUESTIONS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER TO HENRY BEFORE DIIIIESSS OF CURIOUSITY. OWWW! BUGGER OFF, BRUV. DID YOU KNOW IM HANA AT ALL? WHO DO YOU THINK KILLED HER?
As I said before, Im Hana was a friend of mine, we used to talk quite often. And no, it could be pretty much anyone since Hana did make quite a number of enemies and haters in her lifetime.       

ARE YOU SUUUURE YOU DIDN'T KILL HER, DUDE? HAH! THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE! DID YOU SEE THAT, HENRY??? OH, LOOK? IS THAT A SMILE I SEE? OH WAIT NO, THAT'S JUST YOUR FACE. OWWW! I'M FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU TO THE STUDENT COUNSELOR. RIGHT. YOU. SO, YOU CAN LEAVE NOW. WE'LL HIT YOU UP WHEN WE FIGURE OUT WHO TO DRAG TO THE DARK SIDE. BUH-BYE! BUT SERIOUSLY. GET OUT.

SCENE IDEAS?
 
» Sri decided to renovate the club room so it is more comfortable and modern but still need to be similar to a lab for research and investigate purpose.
» Asher met some of the members' pets and he adored all of them and not surprisingly some of them seem to love him too which doesn't sit well with some of the owners.

» Force Sri to watch some of the documentaries with him which more than half ended up sleeping halfway through it.

»A student hold some valuable information but refuse to tell unless it's a specific someone in the club coming to them. So Asher will have to give an express class on how to read the body language and act accordingly in order to get the information.
LAST WORDS?
 
Comments : Wow, this got to be the longest app I've ever done up to date. I feel like I kind of made Asher a bit too complex, so if you guys do think his personality doesn't match or contradict, please let me know. I'll do my best to fix it. 
Queries : None for now.
