NAME: Ashley, Self-Proclaimed King of Pranks, Trickery and all Things Fun
AGE: 11
GENDER: N/A but mostly male
SCHOOLING YEAR: 1st year
SPECIES: Shapeshifter
PLACE OF ORIGIN: A forest somewhere
OVERALL PERSONALITY: The best word to describe Ashley is playful. Already, being part of a race whose inherent trait is to play tricks on and fool unsuspecting victims, Ashley's personality further adds to that trait. His natural aptitude to his magical shape-shifting powers doesn't help either, in fact, the constant trickery caused his guardians to forcefully send him to this school. Although he likes to trick people, Ashley really only wants attention and love, although he would never admit it. Ha can sometimes be also be very mature for his age, having inherited all the knowledge and powers of his guardian.
LIKES:
+pranks and playing tricks
+sweets
+nature
+heights
+Any food since shapeshifters can easily change their gustatory glands
DISLIKES:
-grouchy people/people who can't take a joke
-very large open spaces
-blood
STRENGTHS:
+kinda of a genius
+full control of his body
+can transform into anything
WEAKNESSES:
-Fire messes with his mental processes, causing him to lose control over his transformations,
-Lightning does pretty much the same thing. When he's struck with it anyway.
-The main point is that his powers are related to his mental state, so psychic powers and loss of control over his emotions will fuck him up
FEARS:
-is afraid to trust people
-penguins
-losing his powers
POWER(S): Can shape-shift into anything as long as Ashley has seen it. While he can still change into them, more complex forms, such as magical beings, would require a drop of blood or a piece or hair or something, to make a perfect copy which includes a copy of their personality, knowledge and powers, but these kind of transformations are very painful and Ashley prefers superficial transformations only. He can also bring out the full potential of the body he copied, pushing its physical, but also mental and magical capabilities to the limit.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The first thing that people notice about Ashley, besides his small stature (4"9), and child-like facial features, is his long multicolored hair that seems to reflect the light like a rainbow. A trained eye can also perceive the changes in his mood based on the variations of color in his hair. He does not look very physically fit, but being a shapeshifter, looks are definitely deceiving.
PLAYBY:
HISTORY: One would think that being born into a race of magical beings would let one who is a bit different feel at ease, but this was not the case for Ashley. From his birth, his parents, or guardians as his race is made from a combination of matter from any two shapeshifters, since they don't have a definite sex, and their mating season is generally just a really big gang-bang, could tell that their child was different from the 20 some other they just made. Usually, shapeshifters, cant use their powers until they are 11, this allows them to develop a sense of self and an "original form" they would naturally revert to for comfort. This form is defined by the infant's growing personality, not having any consistent shape until they are 1 years old. Ashley's guardians therefore did not panic too much when their child did not show the signs of a main form, such a particular preference for gender, partly because they knew some shapeshifters developed late, but mainly because Ashley's guardians did not care too much about a child that may or may not be theirs. They got concerned however, when he showed signs of being able to use his powers. At first they thought that someone had kidnapped Ashley, but it turned out he just turned into a chair. Ashley would enjoy scaring his guardians this way, since this seemed to be the only form of attention he would receive from them. After being sick and tired of these "pranks", they finally took him to someone who could help them deal with their boisterous child; the local elder, who they knew very well, and did not look very old, since shapeshifters live for a long time, and can change their appearance to look older or younger. He revealed to the desperate parents that Ashley, who surely enough was in the form of a candle at the time, was a very gifted being and that they would just have to learn how to deal with the child, and show him the love and attention he demanded. Ashley's guardians however, did not care much for that idea, and asked the elder if there was another way. Having pondered for a while he revealed that there was indeed a way to contain Ashley's powers until he was the right age. The apathetic parents, seeming much more pleased with that idea, caused them to agree cheerfully. After having called in a few favors from some magically gifted shapeshifters, they proceeded to place a seal on Ashley. At that moment, the plank that was Ashley turned into a sleeping baby with changing multicolored hair. While they could not tell if Ashley decided on a male or female at a first glance, further inspection revealed Ashley to be a boy.
The ritual having succeed, Ashley's would-be family lived in relative peace until another strange thing happened. when he was 5 Ashley could start changing parts of his body to make his muscles stronger, or his brain smarter, being able to change the chemistry of his brain. A technique that he did not know was forbidden at the time due to it being very dangerous, causing most shapeshifters to become mad from using it. Ashley fortunately did not commit the same mistakes that the other of his kind had made, relying on pure instinct and knowledge of his own body instead of only the sharp reason the others had used to attempt this feat, thinking they were so intelligent. This of course caused him to develop much faster then his fellow shapeshifters. He started finding them slow and uninteresting so he started to play pranks on them, like carrying very heavy things like it was nothing and making them try to carry them. He would also amuse himself by calling some children out in dark groves using his parents' voice, causing the child to get lost and cry, while he laughed from a branch above. His parents of course, did not care enough to notice this important fact at first, but constant pranks and complaints from other more concerned members of their society caused them to revisit the elder. The elder then said that he could strengthen the seal to hopefully contain his powers, or he could leave the child with him, as he realized they made the most horrible parenting figures. Being glad to get rid of an unnecessary burden, the two shapeshifters gladly left him with the elder.
The first thing he did was remove the seal on Ashley, overwhelmed by his own powers, Ashley would have disintegrated into energy were it not for the elder's magical intervention. Now free from the restraints, Ashley could feel his full potential, pumping through his veins. He could feel his body like never before, his heart beating, his muscles straining, even the electrical impulses coursing through his brain. The elder introduced himself as Kat, and announced that he would be in charge of his education. Kat taught Ashley everything he knew, including forbidden methods of shapeshifting, that even Kat could not perform. Ashley learned quickly, even creating new techniques never seen before. His aptitude in these areas, did not mean he enjoyed Kat's long lectures, or stopped playing tricks on other children. On the contrary, Kat offered Ashley new means of enjoying himself. After having reached the age of 11, Ashley's powers increased exponentially and Kat realized he could no longer handle Ashley and reluctantly signed him up to The Headmistress' school. Kat's last gift to Ashley was a vial of his own blood, allowing him to completely become Kat, and also inheriting his powers, when transformed into him, and all his knowledge, including all the feelings of jealousy, fear and exasperation Kat felt towards Ashley. To this day, Ashley still resents Kat for driving him away after trusting him so much, being the only thing close to a friend Ashely ever had.
