Character
Personality: Ash is a proud deviant. They don't believe in taboo, or that things should be held sacred. Society is a foolish waste of time built to stop those who want from getting just that. Wants are needs in disguise, and from their observations people often ignore their needs. They have an intense need to satiate their own desires, and revel in the thrill of doing so to others as well. There are exceptions to this: Ash does believe in the sanctity and purity of youth. In short, they are disgusted at the thought of someone asking them to take on the appearance of a minor for 'fun times.' It's a good way to get them to leave.
They like themselves. A lot. Mirrors are nice. How they look? Nice. Few people are as happy with themselves as a whole.
Their desires are not all selfish. They do like to make others feel good. It feels good to make others feel good.
If they want something, they will do what ever it takes to get it. Other people are important, sure, but they are not as important as what Ash wants; the pecking order is as follows: Ash, What Ash wants, You, What you want, other things. This holds true in perfect form. Ash will not put themselves in certain danger to get what they want, they will not put you ahead of what they want, they will not put you in danger to get what you want, and they will ignore other things in order to help get you want you want.
Their desires tend toward the lavish; big houses, fast cars, nice perfumes, anything expensive is a signifier of worth, and worth is king. This means that if you have something of worth that they covet, you will likely get catfished, strung along, and have it pried from you before being left in the dust.
When things get complicated, Ash tends to run. They like to preserve not only themselves, but their way of life, so real relationships are generally a no-no. Long cons? Those are a yes-yes.
Past that, there is no seeming void in their life. They don't do this to stave off loneliness or to combat depression. They revel because they like to. They throw their hands in the air because standing in the back rows at a concert is lame! They love and lust because why waste time not loving and lusting?
Hobbies/ Interests: Arts. Art collecting, drawing nude portraits, posing nude. Nice things. Interior decorating. People. Charming people. Sleeping with people. Music! Concerts! Fine dining~ Gambling, gambling gambliiiiing!
Job or part time job and description: They have not held down a job in years.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Fighting. Pain. A great fear that all of the world's mirrors should one day turn to dust and reflective surfaces will be rare. Not being liked when they want to be. Complicated relationships.
Special talents: A general musical affinity. Piano is a passion. Public speaking. Thespianism.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Neutral. They like to do good for others. They will gladly do terrible things to get what they want, but they don't do bad just to do bad. They believe the world is give and take, so they try to give as much as they take.
Mutations
Mutation description:
They are an Omnibus, for lack of a more simple term. All facets of their power are designed to support this role.
Ash takes on a devilish appearance, that of a sort of succubus or incubus. This is the only constant, the rest can change. That's right, Ash has perfect control of their apparent age, height, sex, hair length, skin tone(as long as it remains in the red/purple spectrum), masculine/ feminine features, etc. They are limited in this by the realm of human possibility. They cannot make themselves taller/shorter/wider/thinner than a normal human can be. Changes can be near instantaneous for facial features and the like, and more complex transitions only take a few seconds.
Ash has emapthic abilities designed to help them charm others. They can tell if someone likes or dislikes something to a targeted degree. This is specific to something they are experiencing at the time, but accurate to a T. Example: If someone is walking down the street eating ice cream, listening to music, and scratching an itchy face, Ash will know they love the music, like the ice cream, and are mildly annoyed by the itch. This makes faking or hiding pleasure completely impossible as far as Ash is concerned.
Ash is able to produce a pink smoke that can obscure their presence, but more importantly, if breathed in large volumes it can create a sort of euphoric feeling that can make them more open to persuasion. This is a mild effect. Ash cannot make someone do something completely uncharacteristic of themselves unless they want to. Rather, this can help people do things that they have wanted to do, but something has stopped them from doing.
Strengths: This all makes charming people a lot easier. They can know what others like and look like it, they can know if they are enjoying the experience. It makes getting what you want pretty easy as well. Their identity can be hard to track specifically. These powers do not exhaust from use.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
These powers do not help at all in combat. If you want to punch Ash, there is very little they can do to stop you. The smoke, while obscuring, does not make people lose any focus or accuracy. Their appearance, while flexible, is distinctive. They cannot take a human skin tone, they cannot make their horns nonexistant, they cannot make their tail disappear. They look like a demon, no exceptions.
Beefing up is a mostly cosmetic affair, Ash retains average strength for their height and weight at any time, so if they want to get really strong, they will have to hit the gym.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: Ash is a lover, not a fighter. Running is fine, but no, Ash does not even lift.
Fighting Style: Try to get people to like you enough not to hit you. Try to be gone by the time they realize you have conned them.
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Please don't hit me.
History Of Your Character
One day in the early 90's Ash-Lee woke up in a gutter in San Francisco California! They had no memories of a prior life, and that was fine. They just knew they were frisky, and they needed a drink. Thus, began an adventure that has been characterized by party after con after couch surf after party in a slow and meandering journey to the big apple! They have lived in New York for a year, now, and have found the city quite accommodating to their way of life. It's a big place, so people tend to have a hard time finding someone they are angry at.
They have taken on many personas in this time and place, so at this point, some people are mad at them in the city, they are dodging debt and angry exes at any one point in time, but being able to change your appearance has made that a mild nuisance more than anything.

Sample RP:
The name of the game was strip poker, and Ash was losing~
"Alright, boys, you've got me cornered, don't you?" Off went the left glove, discarded carelessly on the floor aside a pile of clothes. They were the only one that was missing any clothes. The rest of the rather nicely dressed men in the room were all placing money on the table. A winning smile and a wink, had all of the rest of the players looking at each other and grinning as the cards were played out. Ash-Lee leaned forward, taking a sip of a drink and giving a good shot at the cleavage a well thought out corset showed off brilliantly.
Legs crossed as full lips pouted at an empty drink that prompted of the high rollers to motion toward a waiter. The drink was then replaced in short order. A haze of pink smoke curled about the air as they recieved their cards, more money was put on the table, and the flop was dealt. Ohhhh, the gentlemen didn't like the draw. Take a sip~ lean back, loosen your top a bit. There you go! A few people folded, but the bold man across from Ash who had been staring all night was pretending he wasn't upset with his draw. How cute. A pointed nail fiddled with a necklace that rested on soft pink skin as Ash pretended to consider whether or not it was worth staying in the game. Stay. Oh dear! He raised the bet in response. What ever would Ash do?
"Ohh, I suppose I'll stay in the game, but if I lose, the corset comes off." A gold medal level pout raised a chorus of thrill in all of the men. They called it. The river was dealt. Full house~ Bold man kept a straight face even though his heart wasn't excited about his prospects. He was 20k in at this point, though.
"I think... Oh... can I call, dealer?" The dealer nodded, an an innocent expression folded to the facsimile of relief. Bold man threw in another 20k as a bluff. Ash's eyes widened, and they stared at their cards for a moment. "Oh, well, I guess I'll have to raise, then too. All I have to offer is... My hotel room key." Mr. Expensive suit liked that idea, but it was tempered by the dislike of the odds. To be honest, Ash liked the idea too. Still, business was business.
They flipped cards, and a wide smile was produced. The 50k pot was swept up amid groans and the direct eye contact of the man who had just lost 40 thousand dollars. "Oh, look at the time. Sorry boys, I must be leaving~" They were sad to see their little devil go. Ash left the clothing on the floor, tucking the money into the corset, finishing their drink, and walking by the intense man on the way out to oops a hotel keycard into his pocket.
No need to be sour! This night would be worth 40k.
