personality evaluated. Asher is pretty much the guy that’s willing to help almost anybody. He has always been really into volunteering because it makes him feel good and when he was a kid his parents were always helping people and he saw how it affected both those who were helped and his parents. So he’ll basically go out of his way to help anyone, which can also get him into trouble because there are those people that hate it because they’re too stubborn or proud to accept it. He’s also a very loyal person, he pretty much has your back in any situation, and if you’re lucky enough to get his loyalty Ash will stand by you up to within an inch of his life. Asher has always appeared to have his life together, which says two things about him, 1) he’s definitely a very good actor, but 2) he really does have his shit together most of the time. Ash has always been organized and even in high school while the rest of his class was out getting trashed, he was planning for the future. While some live their lives by the motto, ‘live like there’s no tomorrow because there is no guarantee that you’ll have a tomorrow’ Asher always remembers that live like there’s no tomorrow, but be ready if it comes. So basically he’s all for having fun, but he is always aware of the possible consequences.

Although Ash does try his best to be a good person and not be a complete ass, there are times when he is. He has always had a very quick temper and until college, he had never learned to control it. Thankfully now he does, but he still has to work at it and will yell and cuss about some of the stupidest things. Asher rarely hits anybody anymore, but if you push him far enough, or do something that he can’t stand, you may want to watch out because he may just come out swinging. Asher is also not a big fan of change, he is the type of guy that has his routine and likes to stick to it. If it’s a little change, he’s learned to just deal and move on but if he thinks he can stop things from changing, Ash’ll probably do anything he can to do so. At times, Ash can be somewhat pessimistic, usually when it’s about society as a whole, or himself, he’s not exactly open to other people’s ideals. While he tries to find the good in all other people, he is hyperaware of his own flaws. That is not to say that he has low self esteem, but he tends to focus on those negatives, and fixing them, more than he focuses on his own strengths.

history evaluated. Asher was born and raised in Huntington Beach and he only left after he had finished high school and began attending UCLA. His parents have been wealthy ever since he can remember, and they definitely were willing to use that wealth to provide the biggest and the best for Asher and his sister, Brittany. They couple did, however, make it clear to both of them that after college, there would be no trust fund or paying for apartments, houses, cars etc. that was all up to them once they became adults. The two grew up with their parents constantly at work, and even when they were at home; it was basically like they had just gotten new offices. Since Diana was a secretary for Andrew’s company as a constant income while she was getting jobs as a model prior to their marriage, it only made sense that she would resume the job once she stopped modeling. There was never a need for Diana to work, but she was never the type of person who could sit still and while she had two kids, she wasn’t exactly thrilled to tote them around everywhere. It’s safe to say that Ash was an accident even though neither of his parents has ever said that. Diana’s modeling career was at its height and when she got pregnant and once Ash was born, she tried to go back, but then Britt was born and she settled for the secretary job. As a child, Ash was raised by all different nannies; it seemed his nannies changed as often as his grade in school. Of course all the nannies were great but it left Asher with a warped idea of a family, until he got to high school.

During high school, Ash and Brittany began staying with their parents’ friends while Mr. and Mrs. Callahan traveled the world for two years. At this time, both of the children got a sense of a real family and began going to regular schools. His life was pretty much consumed by sports, friends and Anastasia, his girlfriend, throughout high school. Asher had an almost perfect life, almost like a movie, until his senior year. Anastasia began to show up to school with bruises, and tattered clothes. While Asher had gotten to know Ana’s mom really well, she had recently moved in with her dad while her mom worked through some medical issues. Eventually it was revealed that Ana’s father had not been in her life for a reason as he began to abuse her, just like he had been doing when Ana and her mother left him. During spring break, Asher went on a volunteer trip through school and when he returned he had plans to meet Anastasia for dinner. When his girlfriend didn’t show, he went to her father’s house and found that her father’s car wasn’t there, but hers was. He went inside and pretty much found his girlfriend lying in a crumpled heap on the floor next to her bed, which she had obviously fallen off with a note laying on the bed. After Ana’s suicide, Asher wasn’t the same; he went through the motions of school but came home and slept until he was jolted awake again to go to school.

It took Asher a long time to get over Ana’s death and during that time, his anger problem became an issue. In college he got into a bar fight and was forced to go to anger management, which helped him a lot. Sometime between his freshman and junior year in college Asher truly got over Ana but he is still reminded of her almost anywhere he looks but as a tribute to her, he began taking acting classes, much to the Callahan’s dismay. Ash’s parents wanted him to become a lawyer and go to law school after his normal 4 year college but he had other plans. His father was horribly disappointed, but his mother understood and even though their relationships were shaky for a while, they have now learned to accept Asher’s choices and are generally supportive. Ash stayed in LA and continued taking classes and trying out for roles. He had been in one commercial with his mother when he was a baby and apparently whatever they saw in him then was still there because he began nailing jobs pretty fast. He shared an apartment with a friend for a long time and although it was small, it was just fine for him and his roommate. After he began working consistently, Ash was able to afford his own place and has been living completely on his own for the past year.

She blushed sheepishly at the librarian that passed by, probably annoyed at the disturbance, and then helped Cody up off the floor. She didn’t like to piss of the librarians; she enjoyed her books and not having to pay for them and wasn’t aiming to get kicked out. Noelle remembered when she and Cody were really close, but lately he had been a rather distant person. Not just from her, but from pretty much the world, as far as she could tell. Then again, she didn’t really see much of Cody so she couldn’t exactly say that because for all she knew he was just sick of her and decided to hang out with other people. Lately, Noelle hadn’t really been hanging out with friends either, she just wasn’t exactly in the mood. She laughed as he said something about getting the right book, and she turned her eyes downward to see the book he had just gotten off the floor. She couldn’t exactly tell what the title said, but based on the other books around it, it seemed as though it was a budgeting book. She wondered to herself if he was taking a class or just felt like he needed to read it.

Awkwardly, Noelle stood there, not sure if he wanted her to stick around or not. She nervously pulled at her jeans and began digging the heel of her gym shoes into the rough library carpet. “Oh I have to get a book for school. I almost forgot that.” Noelle was jerked back into reality as he spoke again. She nodded and began looking at the books again, trying to tell herself that they were friends and she had no reason to feel unwanted. “So this book is for personal reasons?” she asked, pointing to the book, that had caused the whole falling fiasco, which now sat idly in his hand. She knew that Cody worked and that he basically paid for everything himself, but she never thought he would actually need a book on how to manage money. Noelle never really needed to worry about money because of her parents, but she did try to be wise when spending the money they made, just so she had some restraint when she grew up and had to do things on her own.

Noelle remembered when they had been partners a few years ago when Cody began talking about Chemistry and his partner. “That sucks, I hate when people don’t help out with projects,” She replied, “But it never really helps to make them do it, you know?” She had plenty of partners like that, and she usually just did the project and let them sit back instead of forcing them to do something. Although, if she knew the person was actually understanding what the class was doing, she might have but generally her partners seemed oblivious to the subject and she would prefer to do it alone and get a good grade than with someone and fail. She realized that he probably wanted to go and get his book, but was enjoying his company. “Do you want me to help you find it?” She asked, not meaning that he was incapable, “I just have to go grab my books,” she added, nodding her head towards the table where she had placed the two books she intended to check out. She turned, ready to go and grab them and looked back, holding up one finger to let Cody know she would be back in a second.

She turned and walked back to the table and picked up the books, putting The Pact on top since it was smaller and heading back over. She turned towards the aisle and stood near the end. “Ready to go find that book?” She asked, smiling, “Hopefully this time you won’t fall.” Yes, she found it funny that he fell but her intent wasn’t to be mean, it was to make a joke. She stood a few feet from him, allowing him to lead the way.
