When I got this guy over here from Jerry, I was faced with something of a conundrum: what feature do I give him to make him distinctive from the rest of my dude characters?

Then two thoughts occurred to me:

A) Give him a tragic-ish back story........... which he does have, I just haven't hashed it out yet. But it does involve experimentation, mutation, and a Hulk-esque transfiguration he undergoes during specific circumstances. (Which, surprise-surprise, I still haven't thought out.)

B) Ashley's a guy-gal. He's a herm with male pronoun preference. Got it? Good, now a couple notes on that: this does NOT mean you can expect pics of "the whopper" or "the donut" popping up in my gallery. Those are still out-of-bounds for me. This DOES mean, however, that you can expect more gender-confusion shenanigans from hence forth with this guy.

Also, that does bring up the point about Ashley's name. For the record, Ashley is a dude's name. At work I helped a customer on the line who was a dude and the dude's name was Ashley. But if you break the name out into its two syllables, then you have two male names: "Ash" and "Lee." Though it is better-known as a girl's name, so thus the idea of Ash being a lady-man was hatched.
