Background

How was your life different?
Asher didn't have much of anything particularly different in his life, per se, except for being good with computers, phones, that kind of thing. No mean feat when one's family lives on a church parsonage in the middle of nowhere with the closest metropolitan center being an hour's drive away. Although it was generally frowned upon when he didn't turn up for religious studies in favor of tweaking his machine.

What was your upbringing?
The Tero family lived rather isolated from any real town, so it was much more convenient for Ash to be home-schooled. That said, his 'hobby' earned a little suspicion when he tended to cut religious studies short with academic answers to questions given, and the occasional spirited debate about faith in God rather than technology. He knew he was blessed, as his father often said, but looking at the news, where was God for all these other people who were suffering?

Who are your friends and family?
Again, being isolated in the heartland meant his only regular contact with people other than his family, was the church where his father preached. People close to his age weren't common in the flock, and even when they were there, being "the preacher's son" meant he couldn't really get close to anyone before being pulled away to listen to his father chat with his contemporaries after the service. That's what really led Ash to enroll in the University at Empire City, rather than the heartland seminary where his father studied, so he could actually socialize with people that should be his peers in his eyes.

How do you deal with the mundane world?
Right now, the mundane world is all Asher knows, being, for all intents and purposes an ordinary college student starting his second year of coursework. Still, he's got eyes on independent tech support and custom computer building to hold him through tricky financial hurdles... and barring that, there's always a local fast food joint that could use an extra pair of hands.
Were there something weird about him, though, Ash would prefer to stay subtle about it, always doing the most important things behind closed doors.
