Powers and Abilities
Ash’s style seems soft and dancing-like, though it is actually very powerful and incorporates a number of savate techniques.
He has pyrokinetic powers and can somehow steal the abilities of mystical artefacts with a light contact.
Description
Ash is an effeminate 16 year old French boy, who’s haughty, competent, and a bit creepy. He takes great lengths to do his nail and adorn them with the latest nail art.
He typically wears a light red body suit with darker red trim flames around the wrists and ankles, a matching jacket, white boots, and a belt.
His hair is long and done in a feminine style that often covers his eyes and is somewhat held back by a hair band.
Personality
Ash is a very cunning and sarcastic young man. He is a trickster who seems to side with no one but himself. He manipulates other people as if it were a game and is easily bored with people who don’t interest him.
He usually hides his true strength and likes to flaunt the superiority of his half-hearted effort.
Ash speaks in a playful and condescending manner, which often irritates the characters he is speaking to. He doesn’t like members from Those from the Past.

DC Universe History
Ash is a bit of a wild card. His true motivation is still unknown, and thus he could be thrown in as is in mystical campaign to make for a suitable villain gathering powerful and important artifacts.

Design Notes
Ash is the only character I can think of outside of the Final Fantasy series with the Mugging Schtick. What makes his use of it so original is that his version of it is mystically linked.
