A laptop and a trunk full of old books. His clothes, which are few, and an assortment of glass bottles containing various human parts.

Shy and quiet, unless you start talking about something he knows really well. He has a temper but keeps a decent handle on it... most of the time.. A headstrong young man, Asher will go after something if he really wants it but once he's through with it, he tosses it away quite quickly. Either by destroying it altogether or (if it's living) making it so completely unstable that it's no use to anyone else either.

Books, girls (though he never talks to them socially), and Sci Fi.

Dislikes:

Being put on the spot, warm beer, cigars and rap music.

Strengths:

His knowledge of almost anything demon, vampire or otherwise otherworldy.

Weaknesses:

His inability to talk to the females of his species and the undeniable fear that he's going to die in some horrible way.

Special Abilities:

knowledge of almost anything otherworldly, Some magical abilities, but they're very limited.

History:

Asher was born in New York City but raised all over the globe. His folks were rich so they traveled where ever.. whenever. It was during a visit to London when he was about fifteen that he came upon a group of older men in Hyde Park. They were discussing the latest demon outbreak, though in hushed voices. Asher, being a quiet kid, was able to get close enough to hear what they were saying. He approached one of them later on and asked them to teach him what they were talking about. They told him to wait three years and come back, which he did.

When Asher returned to them he was taller and, as the women in the building would often comment, rather attractive. He always blushed furiously when they'd compliment him. He began his Watcher training in the summer of 2002. He was good at what he did and excelled in the ranks. By the next summer he was working on some of the heavier cases and
even though he'd never left London, he was aware and (secretly) liked to work on the Summers case. He knew pretty much all there was about her and the things she had done in the past few years.

Asher was in the building across the street getting coffee for the elders of the Council when the explosion rocked the city. The Watchers' Council had been blown up. He knew this could happen and he knew what he had to do now. He had to hide.

So, going deep underground (figuratively), Asher went into hiding. He hoped things would clear up soon. In a tiny apartment in a small suburb of London, Asher hid himself and all the books he was able to salvage form the building. He knew there was only one place he had to go.

It took less than a month and things started to get better. Asher went back to the old building and saw an older gentleman there. He quietly introduced himself. and asked about the building. When the man said that he used to work there.. "on the fifth floor" Asher knew he was a Watcher. He introduced himself and the two started talking. Less than a week later Asher was on a plane to LA, then on a bus... to Sunnydale.

As he rode the bus his mind raced, not knowing what was going to meet him and how they'd react to another Watcher. How She'd react.

Sample RP:

His plane had landed at LAX and Asher knew he was on American soil again.. for the first time in five years. He had cut himself off from all his family and friends. He'd delved so deeply into his art that he'd become lost in it. The sunlight shining on his face was like a neon sign telling him that he didn't belong there. He squinted. He needed to make a base for himself. After the Watcher's council had been blown to bits, he'd gone into hiding. He'd learned about the Slayer and her nifty spell through the demon community in London. It impressed him.

The years he'd spent with the lower life forms had effected Asher. He was not the man he could be. Not the man most people thought he was. He surely had the old Englishman, Her watcher, fooled, he thought. Rupert Giles seemed to think the best of everyone and he played it to his advantage. He sweet talked the man into letting him come to Sunnydale and join their little army against evil. Once he was alone though, Asher had himself a good laugh.

He read the paper and laughed. "I'll have a good time in Sunnydale. But I think I'm going to have a bit of fun before I head there. I think some time in Los Angeles is in order." The headline was from the city's bigger newspaper and it listed a string of new murders in town that had police baffled. "Looks like fun. I think I'll investigate."

He was already packed and was flying into LAX anyhow, so he might as well stay a while and get to know the City of Angels. He'd go to New Sunnydale eventually. It was only a matter of time before he was drawn there anyway. But he wanted to see if the Firm still stood. He'd gotten wind of the en-souled vampire and his attempt to silence the Senior Partners. He had to see if he'd succeeded.

The flight touched down on American soil. Asher was back in the States for the first time in five years. Breathing in the air, it made him want to both choke and smile. Good old American pollution.

He took a taxi to the center of town where he knew the firm to be. Sure enough it still stood; so, he went in. Walking up to the front desk he smiled at the pretty girl behind it and said "I'm Asher Kincaid, I don't have an appointment but if there's anyone available to talk, I'd appreciate it if you'd sent me up to 'em."

His charm worked. He was an idiot when it came to talking to
women on a personal level but when it came to schmoozing, Asher had it down to a fine art. "This way." she said with a giggle. He smiled at her again and winked his eye, for good measure.

Up in the office he talked to a man, a human he seemed to be, about becoming an affiliate. A man on the inside with eyes on the outside. "You drive a hard bargain, Mr Kincaid. I like your style. I'll talk it over with my colleagues and get back to you."Asher smiled and nodded. "You have my card, call me whenever you make your decision." he said as he stood and shook hands with this man.

"Of course." was the reply he got. He was eager to get Asher on his team, which meant Asher was right, something big was being planned and they needed manpower.

Checking into a hotel and getting his things in order, Asher didn't have to wait very long for his call. "Mr Kincaid, Welcome aboard. Wolfram and Hart are glad to have you." Smiling, Asher hung up his phone and rested easy for the first night in a long time. "Soon, Sunnydale will be ripe for the taking and the Slayer and her teeny-bopper acolytes will be powerless."

The next few days were spent getting acquainted with Wolfram and Hart and coming to know that his real work would be in Sunnydale. So, in his first 'field job' for the firm, Asher headed to Sunnydale to gather data on the Slayer and how many potentials she had with her. How many others as they were called in the firm and how powerful everyone was... It seemed that the Senior Partners wanted to know these things and it was Asher's job to get them.

"Simple enough." he said as he read his assignment. Sitting on the Greyhound as it drove deeper into the desert toward the town of Sunnydale.


((OOC: I hope this is good, The sample Rp gave me fits... If there's anything you'd like changed, or lengthened, let me know.))

EDIT: Asher's Rise to Good Guy status

Once Asher got to Sunnydale he came into contact with another Watcher, Michael Vance, who helped Asher to overcome his doubts about being a Watcher. Asher made the decision to leave Wolfram and Hart, which caused the Senior Partners to depart from his consciousness, causing Asher great pain the the process.

Along with Michael, Asher met the Slayer. On that same day, a demon killed Michael Vance. Now, Asher had no friends (since Mike was dead) and he was now a "good guy" though he still didn't feel like one.

After a while, Asher got accustomed to being good and now uses his abilities for good rather than evil purposes

[Todd Garret]

Your species should be "Watcher". Where in the bio does it mention him becoming evil? Why does he have human body parts?

Good, just those few things need to be adjusted.

[Asher Kincaid]

They're just a few things I though would be interesting.. He's deceptively evil...

The jars are more or less the things of the freakshow variety... human embyos, siamese twins in fromaldahyde (sp?) Internal organs of powerful people that help him do magic.... brains and such things... It's suppsoed to be sadistic and mysterious.

As far as the evilness, He didn't start out evil... it junst happened.. I'll figure out how to word it and stick it in... It's just one of those difficult things to explain in words..

Approved.
