trivia

• Asch was born on Remday, Lorelei-Decan 48, ND 2000. That's December 25 when converted into our earth calendar.


• His favorite food is chicken, and the foods he most dislikes are octopus, carrots, and (if his behavior on Mushroom Road is any proper indication) mushrooms. Otherwise, he's not especially picky and is one of the best cooks when in the party.


• Although born left-handed, Asch is right-handed from formal training in swordsmanship and table manners. There is always the option of switching, but Asch is unlikely to abandon what's been already been drilled into him as the proper way for years.

• Asch properly manages and maintains his hair, but not to the extent of pampering or lavish treatments. It's symbolic of his dedication to upholding his duty to his people even after he had cast away the title of Light of the Sacred Flame. He'd never dream of cutting his hair for that specific reason and because the cockatiel bangs look kind of stupid with short hair.


• Asch wears clothes that look proper and presentable. He likes to keep things conservative and generally likes loose-fit shirts and pants. After all, loose and baggy clothes might get in the way while tighter-fit clothes may be a bit too constricting for mobility. He also thinks it's important to remain presentable even in casual- or sleep-wear.


• He has a lot of trouble going to sleep on account of painful long-term effects and trauma of surviving replication. When he does sleep, it isn't for long because of nightmares wherein he relives the experimentation experience. Or nightmares in which his lifelong efforts and endeavors are completely rendered useless and unnecessary. His lack of sleep often manifests in snappishness and irritation, so don't take it personally.


• He obsessive-compulsively keeps his room neat to the point of utilitarianism. Everything is basically whatever he needs; if there's anything extra, it probably belonged to an (important) previous owner (like Natalia) and is untouched or maintained out of respect.


• Things that are sentimental to Asch are generally objects that can easily and discreetly be kept on his person. His mindset is that he'd rather not leave something unguarded if it's so important.
