Personality:
Friendly, helpful, and a hard worker. Ashe is a great ally to be had. Ashe is always dreaming of new worlds to be seen, or to be created, and exploring his art whenever time gives him the chance.

In the thick of battle, he is driven, and a force to avoid. His mass, and strength give him a great advantage.

Backstory:
Born and Raised in the little sea side town, Neil was always following his dream of art, and sculpture. Until the day of the war. Able to pull his weight, and more, he and his trusty Slowpoke, Manford, Joined the Kanto Navy to protect the people and dreams he loves.

After basic training, Ashe has now started to settle into his role, and more often than not, is found deep within the engine room of the ship. Whenever there is time off, it is spent Drawing or painting in his cabin using his makeshift easel, and charcoal prepared in the engine room.

Extra:
Ashe is seen with a thick beard at all times. Generally larger, and thicker than most soldiers you see in the Kanto Military, Ashe is always seen carrying large loads on the deck of the ship. Ashe works hard on his art, despite most people telling him that is it a profession that will never become anything of worth. Undeterred, Ashe takes his easel down to the shore just east of town to paint the boats, landscape, and the occasional person.

Injuries:
During the fight for Unova, Ashe sustained 2 claw strikes to his abdomen while protecting his fellow sailor Rune, from a Zangoose who had snuck onboard their ship.

Pokemon bio / personality: Manford
Manford was found by Ashe as a youth. Wounded by a storm, and found on the shore line of Vermillion, Ashe nursed him back to health. Since then Manford has watched Ashe work hard, and through long hours, and has strived to work as hard as Ash, to help him carry the weight around on the ship.

Extra:
Manford and Ashe are connected by a strong bond of friendship. Manford uses his Psychic capabilities to communicate with Ashe. They communicate more through emotions and ideas rather than actual words. This allows the two of them to work together to achieve whatever goal they are working for.
Now fully trained in support combat, Manford has honed his sensed to defend any and all ally's around him.

Distinguishing Feature:
Ashe has carved a Cloyster shell ring to allow Manford full maneuverability while in combat.

Pokemon:
Durge | Onix | Adamant nature, Quick tempered | Sturdy | Male | 10 tonnes (22046lbs)

Pokemon bio / personality: Durge
Durge was obtained with the help of Malcolm and several other Kanto soldiers. Some brought by Ashe, others by Malcolm. After a few hours of wrangling the beast into submission, Ashe began the training. Stern, and unyielding when it came to the important training, but caring and compassionate when training time was over. Durge, after some time, began to respect Ashe, as well as Manford, and soon was following every order he needed. He has now become Amazingly loyal, as well as protective. Quick to anger if you seem to be a threat to Ashe or Manford, Durge requires almost constant talks to relax, which Ashe does by Snapping his fingers to gain his attention.

Extra:
none

Distinguishing Feature: Durge, being a fond user of stealth rock, has grown several sharp spear like rock formations on the back of his head.

Pokemon:
Churchill | Poliwrath | Brave nature, Proud of its power | Water Absorb | Male | 182lbs

Pokemon bio / personality: Brave, and a little quick to the action, Churchill (or Church), had been a great partner to train. Ready to get rough, and tumble around with Ashe, He has listened, and taken Ashe's advice on every point. A strong team player, and proud, potentially to a fault. Ashe has told him time and time again however, not to just jump in head first too often, you can't help your friends if your dead. Church understands, and he will do what he can for his fellow Kanto brothers and Sisters.

Extra:
None

Distinguishing Feature:
None....but battle can be very unpredictable..

NOTE: No I will not correct Onix's weight. The whole End Run plays on a sense of realism. Wailord weighs 800lbs when he should weigh about 50-60,000lbs, the same goes for Onix and Steelix. A 28' rock snake should weigh a significant amount. I have based the weight according to Whales [link]

Please take a look. It's really quite awe inspiring to see how big they really are.

here you have it! I will work on some fun pics of Ashe liftin things, or throwin things, or punchin things!
