↠ Appearance: (Please describe your character’s physical appearance. This MUST INCLUDE physical features - height, build, hair and eye colour. If your application does not include this, you will be asked for revisions. Don't make us ask for those revisions. This should also include how the character carry themselves and how they portray themselves to the outside world. An image may be linked, but must also be accompanied by at least a paragraph of additional description.)

↠ Reference/History: His Wiki at the Crow Wiki

And one of my own writing as his Wiki doesn't tell you jack.

(If applying for a canon character, a link to a third party information page is acceptable. If applying for an OC, we require a summary of the world your character is from as well as the character’s history in it. If applying for an AU, we require a summary of the changes made to your character’s canon. If applying for a character with previous game memories / CRAU, please include a summary of the events experienced as though describing an AU.)

↠ Personality: (Describe your character’s personality. Please include multiple personality traits with an internalised exploration of each, while citing events in their lives that shaped who they are. Events don’t need to be described in great detail, but just long enough to back up the aforementioned traits. Headcanon is not forbidden, but if it strays too far from canon, the moderators may ask you to apply for an AU version of the character instead. Please make sure this is at least four decent paragraphs, as we want to see exposition on why the character is the way they are. )

↠ Powers / Abilities:
Invulnerability: Ashe feels no pain and heals wounds in seconds, so long as they are caused in his search for vengeance. Injuries taken when he diverts from this path do not automatically heal.
Sensory Synchronization: Can see though the eyes of his guide, the Crow.
Tactile-Empathy: Psychometric abilities allow him to feel pain and other sensations from past experience by the slightest touch of an object.
Superhuman Strength: Stronger than he was when he was alive, capable to overcome any physical opponent.
Superhuman Speed: Appears to be faster and more agile than normal humans, and knows some variety of martial arts.
Cursed: Unable to die and stay dead. He can not cross over to heaven or hell if he dies. He will simply heal and wake up sometime after he was killed wherever his body is.
Auto mechanic: In life he was a grease monkey, in death he is the same. He is very good at fixing things.
Magic: Not a major ability, he can use slight of hand and other small magic tricks.

↠ Languages: French, Spanish, German and English. Church Latin as well, just prayers and such. English was his last language so some of his words sound strange when he speaks it, but he is fluent.

↠ Reason for Playing This Character: (What appeals to you about this character, and what sort of things are you hoping to achieve with them in the City of Sin? What is it about the game that made you want to join?)

↠ What is Your Character's Sin?: Wrath;

(Which of the seven deadly sins - Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, or Envy - does your character identify with most strongly and why? Please make sure that this is adequately explained and thought-through; a sentence will not be sufficient, though it doesn’t need to be longer than a paragraph. This will determine your character’s housing assignment.)

SAMPLES
↠ First Person: (This should be a sample of your character addressing a general network audience. Voice, video, or text are all acceptable, depending on each character’s preferred means of communication. Also included are pantomime or interpretive dance. This must be at least five to eight sentences long.)

↠ Third Person: (This should be a prose sample of 200 words or more, set during a time in your character’s life where they have encountered or dealt with a situation involving their chosen sin. While it does not need to take place in the City of Sin, you should not simply rewrite a canon scene to fulfil the requirements. Headcanon and creativity are definitely appreciated here!)

↠ Playing Sample: (This should be a link to an example of how you play your character in a game setting. If you've never played the character in a game setting, we will also accept memes or PSLs. However, we do ask that you refrain from linking things like dear_player unless absolutely necessary, as they don't have the same sort of setting. A conversational, short tag thread should have a minimum of 20 tags from your character, and a log-style thread should have a minimum of 10 tags from your character. These samples should be no more than six months old.)

↠ Additional Samples: (This is purely optional, if there is something about your character that you would like to demonstrate or include to prove to the moderators that you can play your character to the best of your ability. This may be a linked prose thread from another game or simply an example of your character living day to day life in the City of Sin)

History: Of course I will be using the book and a bit of head canon to fill in the rest.
Personality: Ashe Corven was an average man before shit hit the fan. Not too optimistic but didn't live on pessimism either. He lived his life to take care of his son, who he often would say 'was the last bit of life left in his soul' Life was hard for Ashe and his 7 year old son Danny, but he never wanted Danny to know how bad off they were, so he smiled, did magic tricks and everything he could to make sure his son was as happy as he could be. He raised Danny Catholic like he himself had been raised despite the fact that Ashe himself was an atheist, he wanted Danny to have that feel of the church growing up.

Then Danny and himself were murdered for seeing too much. And the light faded as he had often spoke. He returned and sought his vengeance with the help of a woman named Sarah. A different man came out of those two days on earth then had gone into the bay. His humor was now a bit more sadistic, more prone to depression. The sound of a child laughing or crying would cause him great anguish and randomly send him into a rage (He killed Kali in a moment like this, throwing her out a high window with little concern). He sees the world much darker without Danny to center him, he will speak morbid and think morbid if he is left to his thoughts too much.

This however does not stop him from being a joker or wanting to help others. He has a strong sense of moral. He threw away his only chance to rejoin Danny on the other side, knowing he would be cursed to walk the earth. Yet he still saved Sarah and she died moments later anyway. Ashe knows he made the right choice, and despite being cursed he still aims to do whats right.

Ashe doesn't see himself having much of friends as after his ex-wife died he really started to see the friends he had were no good for him or his son. He is friendly but a bit of a loner, anyone who decides to befriend him should be used to his mood swings and be prepared for him to try and push them away. Though if they stick to him they will never find a more loyal man.

He doesn't exactly handle stress as well as one might think a man returned from the dead might as much as he soldiers through it. He will always push through and do whats right even when he'd rather just hang it up and call it quits. He knows it is what Danny would expect of him. He had planned to protect LA but plans changed and now he plans to stick to the resort for the same purpose to protect those who might need it and to try and start over and live out a better life. He never plans to forget Danny but he has to live his life if he is going to be stuck never able to truly die or cross over. Otherwise it will be one hell of a long eternity.
Abilities: His ablities will now come from Dis

From the universe that Ashe comes from, he is known as a Crow or a Crow Avatar. People designated as a Crow are reanimated spirits brought back from the other side for vengeance or to correct some great wrong that occurred to them in life. Being already dead, these Crow Avatars are incapable of feeling pain beyond the tortured memories of their own death or the death of a loved one. Touching another person allows Ashe to experience their painful memories as well, an ability that works both ways. Physical contact with another person can allow the Crow to transfer this pain onto them - forcing them to experience it themselves.
As an embodiment of vengeance Ashe is granted superhuman abilities giving him access to incredible strength and speed. In addition to this his body heals wounds almost instantly - so long as they are not self-inflicted. Any type of self-mutilation or attempted suicide is severely punished with wounds not able to heal themselves or leaving horrible disfiguring scars.
Each Crow is watched over carefully by an actual crow - acting as whatever powers that be's eyes and ears. These crows are bound to the person who has been resurrected and can share with them what they see as an extended sight. Typically these crows will do anything in their ability to help the Crows they are bound to - including dying for them, an act that will very nearly take the both of them to the grave once more.

Abilities:

Near Invulnerability - As mentioned Ashe feels no pain and all wounds heal in seconds - so long as they are caused during his quest for vengeance. All other forms of physical damage will heal in normal time with the exception of self-inflicted wounds.
Sensory Synchronization - Ashe can see through the eyes of his crow guide.
Tactile Empathy - Physically touching a person or object will allow him to feel pain or other sensations which that being had experienced or witnessed. He can also transfer his own pain and memories onto another person.
Superhuman Strength - He is significantly stronger than he was when he was alive allowing him to overcome any physical opponent so long as it has to do with vengeance or protecting someone. Though he has not faced many super-humans, so it would not be a walk in the park.
Superhuman Agility - In addition to having better reflexes, Ashe is able to move faster than a normal human and can perform various martial arts naturally.

Weaknesses:

Dependence on Animal Companion - Ashe is bound to his crow and without it is much easier to stop or kill.
Snakes - An unexpected side effect to being bound to a crow, Ashe has a weakness to snakes similar to how a vampire can be warded off with garlic or holy relics. This is mentioned in The Crow: Wicked Prayer and the a couple of the novels. There is not a whole lot of information on it.

Possible Jobs:
Manhunter?
Though he's a good mechanic He could open a garage?
