Ashen Yu

Born to Japanese immigrants Ashen Yu was raised in America after her father sold his tech start up and moved his family to the US to be closer to the business. Her mom found work as a biology Professor and also taught a class in Japanese as a Second Language. Though her parents took time to adjust to American culture Ashen and her older brother, Rick enjoyed life in the US. Rick was very smart and when not helping his parents was doting on his little sister, helping her to learn to read and write in both languages and generally being the best big brother he could be. Ashen loved this attention and was always at his side. One day, his father had the day off and took them all camping. While the family was engaged in a cook out a bear approached their site. Everyone got up and ran to another location, but Ashen was frozen with fear. Rick told his parents to run on and he went back to grab Ashen. He shouted at the bear, spraying it with bear mace and grabbed Ashen. This act would imprint on Ashen’s heart and mind and Rick was her hero.

As a child Ashen was considered strange, having dreams and visions that would seem to come true. She also would claim to know where missing people were. This was seen as a ploy for attention, until one day their father was scheduled to go on a business trip back to Japan. Ashen was playing with Rick and he took her hand to bring her downstairs, she felt a surge of energy go through her, but ignored it. When she got downstairs grabbed her dad’s hand. She immediately saw a vision of her father’s flight falling from the sky. Unlike other visions this one was immersed in great detail. Not letting go of either hand she begged her father not to go on the flight. She stated the plane would fall and gave all the details of what would happen. She was rebuffed by both parents believing she just wanted him to stay as she did constantly want attention. He did indeed board the plane and it did fall. Many passengers died including Mr. Yu. Ashen’s mother fell into heavy grief. Believing Ashen to be a witch or demon, she wanted nothing to do with her. She wanted to move back to Japan, but Rick convinced her to stay.

While their mom was present, Rick became Ashen’s default parent not trusting their mom to be alone with her. As Ashen got older, she became very beautiful and enjoyed the attention that boys and men would give her, but Rick’s attention was no longer hers as he, being handsome and having access to his part of his father’s fortune, began to gain the attention of women at his college. Against both their mom and Ashen’s wishes he began to date American women. When Rick was around certain women Ashen would touch him, pretending to need something from him or as if she wanted to ask him something. Ashen could read his mind and knew his lust and desires. She was fascinated by her brother in a way that a sister shouldn’t be. Rick wanted to moved out. Ashen asked to live with him as their mother despised her. He allowed her to do so, but only until she was 21 and would receive her part of the inheritance then could move out on her own. Their mother moved back to Japan and retired.

Ashen moved in with Rick, but refused to go to college. She understood the financial structure of a capitalist society and money became a big deal to her. She befriended many of the older men at her father’s companies. She could read their minds and could seduce or manipulate them into giving her money, gifts and positions. One man she found extremely interesting was Natas Talbane, owner of Talbane Inc., an umbrella company for his various financial interest. He was on the board of her father’s company. She felt he was a man of power in many ways. He made her an admin at his company. She seduced him, the connection allowed her access to many of his secrets. She became more intrigued by him when he let her know he felt her reading him. She wanted to know more about his powers and abilities and about herself. Sensing her need for attention and power he introduced her to her to various forms of magic leading her on a journey of mystic self discovery.

Though she was enjoying the gifts and prominence from the men around her she grew jealous at the parade of women Rick kept company with many of them friends, others lovers and some, both. One of those women, a voluptuous blonde named Jennifer, who befriended Rick in his last year of college. Ashen initially wanted to break them up, but then began to watch them. Rick’s desire for Jennifer was enticing. Ashen got cosmetic surgery increasing her bust line and behind to give her a similar body shape. While Rick continued to ignore her other men became strongly enamored. She convinced one of the board members to give her a luxury apartment paid for by the corporation, feeling it was only fair considering her dad founded the company. She moved out of Rick’s condo as soon as her apartment was available. She was well “kept” before ever seeing a penny of her inheritance.

After spending time with Natas, Ashen became obsessed with magic, demonology and necromancy, studying and practicing the mystic arts. One day she bumped into a woman named Hanover in an occult bookstore she frequented. They could both feel the power in each other and in touching her Ashen could feel Hanover’s desire for her. While she had never been with a woman before, she wasn’t against using this attraction to her advantage. Shockingly Hanover asked Ashen not to read her without her permission ever again. Ashen told her it happened sometime accidentally. Hanover pointedly told her she was lying. As time went on time went on the two gained a mutual respect for one another and she introduced Ashen to Nightevil. Shaking her hand Ashen could only sense that Nightevil was something very old and very powerful, but not exactly what. She invited Ashen to join the Sisterhood of Lilith. Enthralled with everything, she thought it over and decided to join. Currently she is a runner and recruiter for The SOL.

Powers

Ashen is a powerful remote viewer and reader. Ashen gets impressions from people by touching them. She sees snippets of their life, current thoughts and their strongest emotions and desires. If a person thinks about Ashen she can pick up on that thought. She loves to feel desired and lusted after and can use those desires to benefit her through manipulation. Ashen also has a soothing voice which aids in enticing people, especially men and sometimes mesmerizes them, though she is unaware that she does this happens. Because of her empathic powers sometimes she has a moral crisis: doing what’s right or what’s right for her. While this isn’t often, it does happen. Ashen has decent cosmic awareness and is also proficient in invocation and many forms of ritual magic.

Oddities

Ashen is even more powerful when joined with her brother. She can see further, longer and with more detail. That being said Rick doesn’t believe in the supernatural or magic. To offset this Ashen will sometimes turn to a designer drug called Psychoblast made by Fixmaster.
