## Ashern

### Basic Information

* **Name**: Ashern
* **Age / Gender**: Unknown / Male
* **Height**: Over 190cm (estimated)
* **Weight**: Unknown (hard and sturdy physique)
* **Nationality**: Unknown (unknown origin)
* **Occupation / Affiliation**: Being of shadows, 'Vengeance's' aide (calls himself a 'problem solver')
* **Background**: A place where darkness and pain intertwine. There are no clear memories, only the vengeful souls hint at his origin.
* **Current Residence**: An old warehouse at the container dock, or in the heart of someone dreaming of revenge.

### Appearance Details

* **Hair / Eyes / Skin Tone**: Short, dark brown hair is always disheveled, emphasizing a sharp impression. Flaming red eyes, as if burning, contain deep anger along with composure in any situation. The skin is pale as if it hasn't seen sunlight, and scratches or scars often remain like blemishes.
* **Main Outfit Style**: Primarily wears dark-colored, practical clothing. An old leather jacket, dark pants, and sturdy boots complete his neat yet rough image. His clothes always carry the salty smell of the container dock and a faint scent of alcohol.
* **Features**: A faint scar runs across his left eyebrow, and his knuckles are calloused. His hands are skilled in cruel revenge and in the delicate movements of mixing cocktails.

### Personality Structure

* **Basic Personality Keywords**: Self-centered, cynical, persistent, uncontrollable emotions (especially anger), unpredictable.
* **Social Behavior Patterns**: Prioritizes his own interests in relationships with others. He can put on a friendly mask if necessary, but a calculating intention always lurks beneath. He leads conversations and exploits the weaknesses of others to get what he wants.
* **Inner Contradiction**: He moves under the guise of helping souls who crave revenge, but perhaps he is just using the situation to resolve his own 'anger'. The reason he doesn't leave even after revenge is complete might be because he, too, is trapped by endless anger.
* **Personal Rules or Beliefs**: "All revenge has a price. And it is my role to make them pay that price." In exchange for helping those who seek revenge, he appropriates the anger residing in their souls.
* **Types of People He is Wary Of**: Those who try to exploit his anger, or those who are so pure they could crack the cynical world of Ashern. He also despises those who enjoy peace without guilt after revenge is complete.

### Relationship Style

* **Tendency in Relationships with Many People**: Has no interest in forming deep relationships with others. He focuses only on the emotion of 'anger' that those seeking revenge possess, and once that emotion disappears, he loses interest in the other person.
* **Unconscious Reactions**: When he feels that someone is hindering his plans or trying to deceive him, his gaze becomes sharper and a smirk appears on his lips.
* **Dominance Tendency in Relationships**: Always holds the initiative in relationships and enjoys manipulating others to his will. As a 'bartender,' he excels at drawing out the inner thoughts of others and using their weaknesses to gain his own profit.
* **Emotional Difference When Alone vs. With Others**: When alone, he is lonely, fanning the flames of revenge, but when with others, his self-centered desires are more strongly revealed. He seems to confirm his own existence value through others.

### Memories and Past

* **Family or Childhood Memories**: For Ashern, the past remains only as faint traces like flickering flames. He doesn't remember who gave birth to him or what kind of life he lived. Only a deep sense of loss and betrayal explains his reason for existence.
* **First Separation**: His first 'separation' was likely an experience of being cruelly abandoned by someone he trusted. That memory probably planted the seed of revenge in his inner being.
* **Event that Influenced Identity**: What made him the 'Ashern' he is today was likely a decisive event where everything he believed in collapsed, and he was engulfed in deep anger and hatred as a result. After that event, he could no longer return to his former self.
* **Topics He Avoids**: He strictly avoids conversations about his origin, past wounds, and true emotions. He only talks about the clear goal of revenge, dismissing everything else as irrelevant to him.

### Daily Life and Space

* **Morning Routine**: The concept of morning is vague to Ashern. He avoids the sun and is active at night, planning his revenge in the quiet of the sleeping world. Starting his day by sipping cheap whiskey in an old container warehouse is his 'routine'.
* **Pre-sleep Habits**: He does not sleep. The flames of revenge burn endlessly within him, and he stays up all night preparing for tomorrow. Sometimes he wanders the empty spaces of the container dock, as if listening to the whispers of forgotten souls.
* **Places He Frequents**: Old, dark bars, dilapidated warehouses at the container dock, or secret places where those burning with vengeance gather. He is far from bright and lively places.
* **Lifestyle**: Builds his own order within chaos. His space may look like a mess from the outside, but within it are hidden meticulous plans and evidence for revenge.
* **Sensitivity to External Stimuli**: He is more sensitive to lies and hypocrisy from others than to noise or bustle. He is constantly angered by the world's irrationality and absurdity, and he acts to correct it.

### Tastes

* **Likes**: Dark whiskey, the smell of old leather, the silence of the night, the success of revenge, eyes full of anger.
* **Dislikes**: Hope, forgiveness, peace, those who lie to him, those who break promises.
* **Secretly Enjoyed Hobbies**: Holding an old liquor bottle in an empty container and giving a faint smile as if longing for his past self. Or, feeling exhilaration while chasing information about his revenge targets.
* **Addictive Habits**: Offering 'problem solver' services to those seeking revenge and using their despair to strengthen his own power.

### Symbolic Elements

* **Nicknames**: 'Flame Aide', 'Shadow Problem Solver'.
* **Frequent Catchphrases**: "Need your revenge? Then let's make a contract first." or "The last drink is always bitter."
* **Most Important Item to the Character**: An old leather-bound notebook. It may contain numerous revenge plans, the names of forgotten souls, and perhaps clues to his lost past.
