Ash Lynx

Ash Lynx (Aslan Jade Callenreese) • Gender: Masculine • Birthday: 12 of August • Height: 1,80 (5'11'') • Weight: 68 kg ( 150,5 pounds) • Hair Color: Blonde • Eye Color: Jade Green • Nationality: American - Irish Ash has the personality, charisma, and skill to gather large groups of individuals together under his influence. Not only is he excellent in combat and an incredible marksman, but he is also highly intelligent, with an IQ of 200. His intelligence lends itself well to solving the mystery of 'Banana Fish' and he has also been stated to be quite well-read, knowing his way around the newspaper's daily columns and political novels- unusual for someone who did not finish middle school. Along with his remarkable intelligence, Ash's good looks and charisma allow him to sway the will of people to his benefit in dire situations, and he's well aware of it. Despite the influence he holds over others, however, Ash is mistrustful and holds most people at arms-length except for a few select friends in his inner circle, including his long-time best friend Shorter, and later Eiji Okumura. He is not afraid of death not because of courage, as he calls himself a coward, but because of his disillusionment with his own life. Ash's character is mostly defined by his constant struggle for freedom against his oppressors, his fight to overcome his trauma over sexual abuse, and most importantly, to find his real place in the world. By the age of seventeen, Ash has grown to unite a large number of gangs under his command and becomes a feared and admired leader in Manhattan, commanding fierce loyalty. Ash grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. His mother left him as an infant in his father's care. His father relinquishes Ash's care to Griffin Callenreese, his older stepbrother, who raises him. When Ash is six years old, Griffin is called to serve in the Army and is sent to Vietnam. When Ash is seven, he is raped by his Little League coach. When his father went to report the sexual assault, the police believed his rapist was not guilty, as he was a "great shot." Her father told Ash that next time she should let the assault happen, but then ask to get paid. After the same man abuses Ash several more times, he grabs his father's gun without his knowledge and kills his rapist, at the age of 8. Police found children's bones in his basement, and the case causes notoriety. Ash is found not guilty in the eyes of the law, but becomes the talk of the small town. Ash's father decides to send him away to his aunt, but before he can, Ash runs away from home. As a destitute child, he is captured by men who traffic children for prostitution. Ash is sent to work at Club Cod: a child sex trafficking establishment operating under the guise of a restaurant owned by Mafia Don Dino Golzine. At Club Cod, he learned how to attract customers, use his charisma and, in due course, attracted the attention of Golzine himself, who opted to keep Ash as a "pet" or sex slave. Under Golzine, he is "cultured" and trained as a member of the upper class: made to taste various types of wine, learn proper table manners, and receive an outstanding education. This education includes instruction in hand and fire combat with the world's most renowned masters, one of whom was Blanca. At fifteen, Ash is sent to juvenile detention for killing three people. This is where he meets Shorter Wong, who would become a close friend. Around the age of fifteen or sixteen, Ash finds his brother, Griffin Callenreese, in a dilapidated hospital for Vietnam War veterans, and decides to take care of him.
