Description

I don't always design gundams but when I do, I take forever. But I'm happy with his final look, much thanks to my friend Xzeit for feedback and listening to my woes of drawing mecha! I've had his upper body done for over a year, 2020 giving me time to work on stuff I otherwise ignore.

This guy was originally PumpkinaChai's that I adopted from her. Some of you who have followed me long enough might remember me coloring and posting him as a gundam kid (via Chai's design and art) maaany years ago. In that time both our stories have changed so he was otherwise going to be trashed/retired as he was no longer needed for Chai's stuff... but I love this guy so much I scooped him up and gave him a revamp! He'll be appearing in the epilogue of my fanfic Kibou Hoshi and is part of the NG crew. We share custody of him.

~*Profile*~

Name: Ash

Meaning/(Origin): Ash tree

Title: Knight of the Healing Greenwood

Specie: Knight Gundam

Homeworld: Lacroa

Age: N/A

Eye Color: Brown and yellow

Personality: Quiet, pragmatic, shy, caring, logical, observant, introverted

Occupation: Royal Knight Trainee

Hobbies: Training with his weapon and magic, studying healing and history, enjoying nature, patrolling Lacroa with his teammates, reading, caring for the injured and sick (animals and people), gardening, help rebuild and maintain Greenwood Abbey in Greenwood Forest where proficient healers train, exploring aroma therapy

Talents: Plant and tree creation and limited manipulation, healing magic

Weapon(s): Flail

---Fail is used for mid-range fighting and the chain can retract so the spiked end forms a mace end for close-range battle
---Vegetation creation and manipulation that allows him to accelerate growth of plants such as vines, trees, roots for defensive and offensive purposes. Use is namely to subdue via vines or roots to avoid permanent damage to the plants.

---Buckler shield on his wrist deflects close range attacks

Relations: Zero the Winged Knight (Master and mentor), Nevada (teammate and best friend), Ildri (teammate and best friend), GunMage (teammate and friend)

Love Interest: N/A

Weaknesses: Ash is rather quiet, not speaking unless something has to be pointed out, which often makes him seem like a pushover who goes with the flow; he ends up being talked over by more boisterous characters. He enjoys his solitude as an introvert and if overwhelmed tends to withdraw emotionally and if he can, physically. If overly embarrassed he tries to hide it through silence or logical deflection; he is affected by second-hand embarrassment as well and if he has the option he'll hide away, burying his face in something until the emotion passes (aka internally screaming). He can be a bit of a wallflower if overwhelmed but does better surrounded by his teammates. As a trainee his powers can be a little wonky with control but he is in tune with his powers the best to the point of being empathic with nature that it distracts him, especially if sensing distress. He is sensitive to intense heat, in part a draw back of his nature powers, makeing him have to be careful of his teammate Ildri's powers; usually if he centers himself between Nevada (ice) and Ildri (fire) he finds a happy medium, though in colder climates he gravitates toward Ildri for warmth, and in warmer toward Nevada for coolness. While he is largely quiet, if questioned about history or gardening he can talk for hours, boring others.

Background: Like his teammates he was born a few years after the Dark Axis' defeat and trains under Zero to be a future Royal Knight. When he is not stationed in Lacroa Castle, he is attending duties and learning healing magic at the Greenwood Abbey. He is the third oldest but rotates position of second in command with Ildri, depending on the mission as both play counselor and support to Nevada. Due to his personality and raising, he is a practiced listener and can recite things back perfectly, making him a walking library as well someone who recalls his friend's various woes vividly and is sensitive about it. Ash is the peacemaker of the group and would rather talk than fight.

Trivia: *He is left-handed but can fight ambidextrous if need be. *He prefers fighting with magic namely *He is the second physically strongest on the time, second to Ildri *Ash has a weakness for animals, attention honing in on them to spoil *He is all too obvious to Ildri's crush on Nevada and Nevada's subdued feelings, leaving him as the buffer to support both.
