¤ HEIGHT... 5’11”
¤ MEDICAL CONDITIONS... Half Werewolf
¤ APPEARANCE... Chris has soft brown hair which he keeps cut short. He has been known to use gel to spike it or smooth it back, but most days he doesn’t put that much effort into it. When he opts to cut his own hair it ends up shorter and less maintenance, but when he makes an effort to go out to get it cut it ends up longer and needs trimmed sooner. Chris almost never shaves every day, usually letting stubble for a good four days before shaving again. He tends to shave less in the winter and more in the summer as a general rule. Chris has a nice smile but usually looks solemn. Chris is just under six feet tall and though he is not ripped he is quite strong.

Chris is somewhat tan, being that you would not call his skin fair, nor would you call it dark, but it’s somewhere in between, closer to fair. He has dark brown eyes. If he is going to a meeting of some sort Chris will dress in a sort of casual suit, but otherwise he seems to be wearing an overcoat, some kind of t-shirt or other, and jeans or slacks. He sometimes appears like he just woke up, either because he doesn’t care about appearances for the day… or he just walked out of bed that way.



¤ WAND... 11” – Mahogany –Dragon Heartstring

¤ LIKES...
Clover, Caser, professional work, getting paid, Hugo, porches, quiet neighborhoods, overcoats, t-shirts, magic, friends, time alone, privacy, pasta, lemonade, drinking with friends, playing pool, soft music, table tennis, darts, walks, and reading.
¤ DISLIKES...
Pigeons, sickness, hospitals, doctors, hotels, skimpily dressed women, not seeing Clover for too long, hats, gothic makeup, scene girls, emo boys, facial piercings, gaudy jewelry, non-symbolic tattoos, Vampires, Werewolves, any guy Clover dates, perfume, the cold, large dogs, wolves, and being called a “half-breed.”
¤ FEARS... Losing Clover for life or as a friend, Casey disappearing, and Clover being hurt by anyone.
¤ SPECIAL ABILITIES... He would say he has none, but he does have to be quite skilled with editing programs and has a keen eye for details that are amiss.
¤ WEAKNESSES... He cannot handle conflict with his sister. It hurts him greatly and he is hardwired to take care of her, so conflict really gets him down.
¤ PERSONALITY... Underneath it all Chris is actually a laid back sort of guy, but he’s become sort of jaded over time. Having to worry about keeping track of his sister, losing his parents, and then nearly losing his sister time and again have given him a somewhat cynical outlook on life. He doesn’t like people to get close to him, at all if possible. He has begun to shut out the people he cares about, because they bring him the most pain. Only those stubborn enough to keep pressing him have any sort of a real relationship with him. Chris has always had a bit of a temper, becoming furious without even realizing it sometimes. He usually tries to apologize if he hurts someone without meaning to, but after a while he gives up on that. He is very intelligent, and loves to read, even when it becomes his only pass time, but he does not like to flaunt his cleverness. Chris is kind hearted, even if he’s jaded, and will usually help anyone if they sincerely ask him to, even if he resists at first his good heart gets the better of him.

Chris has two favorite people in the world, Clover and Casey. He might laugh about all the C’s in his life, but he’s usually too serious for that. He has been loosening up with Casey back around and the realization that he is condemning himself to eternal complacency. He doesn’t want complacency, he wants happiness. He is overbearingly protective of Clover and loves her more than anyone. He has always been happier with her than without her. He would do anything for her and now that he doesn’t have to constantly worry about her dying he plans to try to have a happier relationship with her. With Casey Chris has the luxury of relaxing. He is sarcastic and teases his friend frequently. They have a blunt but caring relationship. And no one knows how Chris would be in a relationship since he has never been in one.



¤ FAMILY...
Annabelle and Daniel Asher[parents], Clover Asher[younger sister], and Odius Asher[uncle].
¤ PETS...
Five year old male English Mastiff Hugo.
¤ HISTORY... When Chris was young his parents disappeared and he was left with his little sister Clover. The two of them were shuffled from home to home, and often referred to as “half-breeds.” Although Chris often shrugged off the insulting term he noticed that Clover dislikes it and so he began getting defensive about it. When Chris was eleven he got his letter and went to Hogwarts, but he was reluctant to leave his little sister at home for two years. Every chance Chris got he would go home and make sure his sister was alright. At Hogwarts he was relatively anti-social but he did make one good friend in his house; a fellow Ravenclaw named Casey Christos.

The summer before his eight year at Hogwarts Clover got very sick and St. Mungo’s she wouldn’t live to be eighteen. Chris lost it a bit, swearing to himself that he would do everything in his power to keep that from happening. Apparently it was something genetic, or hereditary from their parents. They both had the genes, but in Chris it had been dormant, whereas Clover’s had manifested as a fatal illness. He felt guilty, angry, and more resolved than ever that he needed to take care of Clover. No one else seemed to be doing a good job of it, so he upped his security for his sister even more.

As Chris’ years at Hogwarts grew closer to an end Clover was attacked by wolves in the forest near school. Then once more by a sort of wolf prince who seemed to want to marry Clover. When she was finally recovered Clover fell into coma. She had a lot of issues with love and loss and broken hearts, so Chris felt even more protective. He loved his sister more than anyone, he would give up anything to keep her safe, give her a happy and healthy life, but it was beyond his control. He felt almost suffocated in his helplessness, and refused to listen when Casey told him to calm down.

Clover managed to live past her eighteenth birthday, in Chris’ 10th and final year at Hogwarts. This helped to relax Chris for a few years. He was still close to Clover, taking any odd job at the school just to be able to hang around as often as possible. When Clover graduated she became terribly ill as had been predicted Chris was shaken. The calm before the storm was over and he was back to stressing. His only real friend, Casey, had been missing for over a year so Chris became even more forlorn. He took to reading books about medicine, having never been able to help Clover with her ailment. Chris spent all of his time in the hospital at the end. When Clover died he left. It took him about an hour, blocking all the doctors out of the room, to break down and say goodbye to his only remaining family, and at that point, friend. Once he was finally done with that, he left, telling some of her friends to take care of the funeral arrangements. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, he just felt like he couldn’t handle it.

Chris spent a few months in America, visiting an old friend named Charlie Rush before coming back to England in the fall. Chris finally managed to meet up with Casey, who never inquired about Clover as he was a bit distracted and drunk. Chris went home and asked some of Clover’s friends about the location of her grave and found out that she wasn’t even dead. Chris quickly found Clover but she seemed happy and alive. He felt confused, especially after not seeing her for nearly a year. Chris remained almost as distant from Clover as he had been when he thought she was dead. He visited rarely, spending more time in his apartment reading than anywhere else.

By the time Chris turned twenty four he figured out that he badly needed a steady job. He came across a man at the library one day who wanted to move to Godric’s Hollow with his pregnant wife, and focus more on his family, but he needed someone to take his job, and his dog. Chris badly needed the job, so he applied, but the dog was another matter entirely. Having always loathed anything that even slightly resembled a wolf Chris had already gotten a job as the editor before his conscience caught up to him and he agreed to take the year old English Mastiff. Chris has grown fond of his now five year old pet, Hugo, but he still avoids any other canines. Becoming so engulfed in his work Chris, who only moved out of his apartment because they didn’t like pets, would probably never be outside if it weren’t for his dog. Chris has become a variable recluse, but somewhat happier about it than anyone can really tell.

In the past few months Chris has started to evaluate his current life. Good job, nice house, friendly pet. Busy best friend, friendly co-worker, and distant sister. Chris has started to realize that he wants more from life. Maybe a girlfriend or wife, maybe a different house, he doesn’t know about that for certain. What he does know is that he wants Clover back in his life. She is the one person he has always cared about and after shirking his responsibilities for so long he plans to make it up to her.
