Personality & Traits
General Overview | Asher Stagg is an marine with a secret mission for redemption, but you would never know it talking to him. He is a brazen rebel who attracts like minds to his cause. He dresses well, he keeps himself in shape, and he molds his every expression for maximum effect. Once someone has met him, they have a hard time forgetting. Asher is direct and comfortable enough in social situations that some might call him magnetic. He sometimes comes off rude and is known to repel some people because of the way that he challenges them. He is charismatic and tends to inspire his fellow soldiers to be their best selves; he is a charmer, but he isn't always kind. When he speaks, he is typically as casual as the situation allows and when he flirts, he does so very comfortably. Asher sees the world through concrete and pragmatic eyes, preferring to "see things as they are". He is not a fan of lofty ideas or big questions and anyone discussing them with him will often find him scratching his head or falling asleep. Despite this quirk, he remains a quintessentially rational man and prefers to talk about solutions rather than feelings. He is physical and loves sports, hugs, and fighting. His passion is marksmanship and sparing and he has come close to mastering mixed martial arts. He has a few scars to show for it, but they often add to his appeal. He loves cigars, good whiskey, and a great pair of legs. Asher's drive and motivation come from a quiet fear that he isn't strong enough that has motivated him most of his life. He fears that he lacks willpower and drive, so he has been known to overdue it and tends to push his men further than many other CO's would. He also has a desire to prove that he is a better man than his father and never feels that this mission is complete. |

Ambitions | Asher loves adventure, but his chief goal is to redeem himself in the shadow of his criminal father. He also wouldn't mind having some stars on his collar and winning some status for himself. | |
Hobbies & Interests | Asher was raised among low lifes and criminals, so its no surprise that his main hobbies are drinking, smoking, playing cards, and sparing sessions. Extroverted to the extreme in many ways, Asher is most energized and happy when he is around others. Simply meeting new friends and being around loved ones is entertainment enough most of the time. |
Personal History | Asher was raised in a middle class borough in London by his mother. His mother, Aubrie Russell, had been in her first year of university when she met his father. Logan Stagg, an infamous local gang leader, met her at a frat party and began a relentless pursuit with charm and gifts. She avoided him, but was secretly charmed by his efforts, and gave in to his desires one evening. This one night stand resulted in a child. Asher barely saw his father growing up, and certainly didn't grasp the complex situation he was born into. His mother had dropped out of school both to raise him and to hide the shame she felt for her pregnancy and her choice of mate. Despite her desire to move far away from Logan, she and Asher had become dependent on his ressources. Logan would give them money every month to pay for bills and food, but Aubrie never let him come around. This tense arrangement between his parents came to a head when he was four years old. His mother had started to date the man who owned the restaurant where she worked and he had asked her to marry him. Aubrie had managed to keep her relationship a secret from Asher's father, but things became pretty obvious when the wedding invitations starting coming out. Logan cornered David in a parking lot one evening after work and had his goons beat him up. After that, Asher's father disappeared from his life. When Asher was five, his little sister, Jenna, was born. From that moment on, Asher felt like the second, least important child in the eyes of his step father. Over the years, he would turn into quite the man's man in order to impress David, but nothing ever seemed to work the way he hoped it would. As he got older, he began to idolize his biological father based on the little he knew of him and resented his mother for "keeping him away." When Asher was 15 years old, he decided to find his father himself. Ignoring his mother's wishes, he traveled to the rough neighborhood his father was known to frequent and started asking around about him. The name Logan Stagg seemed to inspire fear and respect in the locals, and he was immediately pointed in the right direction. When Asher met his father for the first time as a young man, he was impressed by the man's charm and his ability to relentlessly pursue what he wanted in life, but was appalled by his lifestyle and his cold and ruthless demeanor. Asher had resolved never to be like his father and felt a bit dirty for sharing blood and a name with the man. He knew the first step to distinguishing himself was to get a good and honest job, but he hadn't exactly applied himself in school. After an encounter with a MACO scout at school, he decided that the furthest thing he could be from his criminal father was a marine. He put in extra effort in school over the next two years and then enlisted in the MACO. |
