Summary: Ash is the protagonist of the story, a sweet, gentle and slightly reserved fourteen year old boy with powers he has been told to keep hidden for his own safety. He is a very caring boy, if a little naive and overly trusting at times, especially in the beginning events. He loves his foster family (especially his younger siblings) and enjoys playing the viola, photography and nature-watching and being with is friends.  He tries to keep positive and live by the morals his mom taught him, so he's a good kid, even if he does suffer from brain fog and random memory lapses now and again. Later in Arc II, he becomes stronger and more confident, growing in confidence and struggling with the difficulties of balancing growing up, exams and relationships with being a sidekick training to be a hero. His powers include the production of a green gaseous substance called 'essence' which he can manipulate with his mind (including for offensive and defensive purposes). It also gives him an enhanced healing rate himself and later can be utilised to help heal others. As a sidekick, he is better known as his chosen alias, Lightbug.

Note - Ash's character may deal with some rather sensitive topics, including abuse and psychiatric illness. If this is something that discomforts you, then you may prefer to try another role. If you want more details about his topic then please feel free to message me!

Appearance: Arc I (Protagonist) and Arc II (Leading role throughout) 

UPDATE: Due to the issue of Ash's age and the topic of puberty, it may be likely that we will cast two Voice Actors for Ash: One for Arc I and another for Arc II (where he will have a bit of a deeper voice, having transitioned more from his higher younger sounding voice). If you get cast, more details will be provided of course :) 

Personality: Gentle, Reserved, Kind, Caring, Unconfident, Meek, Childish, Naive, Considerate, Helpful, Sweet, Warm, Apprehensive and a little cowardly initially. 

Throughout the course of the story, Ash will develop and grow as a character and through Arc II, he becomes much more confident, brave and mature. That being said, the player's choices in Arc I can influence how Ash's personality develops and the ending they receive, with the potential to become rather vengeful and jaded...

Voice: Boyish and innocent, pitch medium - mid high range, warm and light when happy or contented, but also be able to carry a slight stammer and anxiety to it when he is nervous or afraid. Some of his lines will require screaming and near hysterical states. Therefore a good voice range is best if you don't mind doing this. 

Although Ash is Male, his voice is on the higher side and I don't want to block access to playing him, so any gender is free to audition!
