Details:

asher newton has known struggle since he can remember.

an only child, his mother, ari, died a few years after he was born. he doesn’t remember much. just that she smelled like lotus and water lilies.

marcus, his father, did his best to raise him, but between grief and a gambling and a few other addictions, it was hard for him to function at all.

asher took care of him more than he did himself and there were more than a few nights the two of them went without one thing or another.

he was a loner in school, preferring his own company to the majority of his peers. he didn’t need their pity or judgement. in the massive amounts of free time he had, he spent it in the library, learning random skills and facts or out in the middle of the woods.

some of his hobbies include: gardening, fishing, geocaching, hunting, hiking, volunteering, and ham radio.

some of his fondest memories with his dad involved hunting and fishing, both skills he relied on heavily in his childhood/teenage years. he learned to garden in a similar vein, choosing to hunt and grow what he could to feed them both in rougher stints of time.

he graduated on time. not at the top of his class, but not at the bottom either. he coasted in the middle of most things, so much so, he doubts most of his graduating class even remembers him.

upon graduating he opted to take an emt program. he couldn’t afford college and his grades hardly warranted any scholarships. so it seemed like a good way to help people and put his skillset to use.

he worked several years helping to take care of his dad. about a year or two ago, marcus entered a few programs and with the help of ash and an old family friend, has improved.

he enjoys it and has been content with it (and a few other odd jobs here and there) for a while now.

with his dad getting better ( and courting previously mentioned family friend), asher’s thinking next steps. thoughts including potential moves, entering a paramedic program or both.
