Personality:

Ashsmor is incredibly laid-back and arrogantly confident, alternately likeable and insufferable. He is, after all, a demi-god, and enjoys his strength and ability, though he doesn't really lord it over the mortals around him -- it's just no secret that he likes power and is quite proud of himself! His confidence is a casual sort, as he doesn't make a show of it. As long as you aren't horribly put off by his quiet arrogance, he's a likable type who enjoys getting to know everyone that lives in the Alveary with him, extending his protection and watchfulness over all of them.

Though he might be the most powerful being in the Alveary, as long as he is treated with the respect he indisputably deserves, he is content to be "just" another inhabitant. He's usually happy to help out when it's asked of him (as long as the requests aren't horribly trivial) and he doesn't try to usurp the leadership hierarchy that's already in place even though he's certainly capable of doing so!

Ashsmor is equally found in his normal dragon-form or a human-like form that shares some of his draconic traits, but he also enjoys taking the shapes of large, powerful felines, like tigers.

Biography:

Ashsmor is one of the Twelve, a pantheon of powerful spirits that kept the Balance between Order and Chaos, Life and Death. The balance shifted when two of their number vanished and the remaining Ten were forced into material forms. They lived as mortals and died as mortals, their spirits becoming Ancestor spirits to guide the new generations.

In time, after a great War and the rise of a being called the Dragoness, the Ten regained their powers and the lost two returned, and together they became the Twelve once more. They were given the choice to leave their home realm if they desired, though on the terms that the Dragoness could call them back if she ever needed them.

Ashsmor came to visit the Ranch of DOOM (as it was called at the time) as he sought out the Dyrmyst Faraway Firescale, to grant the time-warped youth a gift of magical abilities. Once the gift was given, however, Ashsmor decided to take up residency in the Ranch, himself. The Ranch's twist on chaos -- the bedlam of many creatures bound together with little form or function other than friendship -- appealed to him, and thus he claimed the Ranch as his new home base. He wanders frequently, and it can never be predicted when he'll be around or not, but he always returns.

This is especially true now that the Nexus has returned after a long Drift of space and time. Though he and Phoenix are vague on the details, Ashsmor contributed much of his power to the "retcon" that saw the Ranch of DOOM become the Alveary.
