BASIC INFORMATION

Name: SilverAsh, real name Enciodes Silverash
Aliases/titles: n/a
Age: Adult, headcanon says 30-something
Canon Point: Flexible, after Break the Ice preferred
Race: Feline (cat-like person), specifically snow leopard


FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Fashion: Thick clothing to deal with his homeland's cold climate. Befitting his wealth and status as what's essentially nobility, he wears expensive, luxurious outfits, often with fur lining. He's never seen without a cane or umbrella with a hidden sword.

Height: 192cm, or approx. 6'3.59".

Build: Well-muscled and scarred. He fits the "tall, dark and handsome" stereotype.

Hair: Pale grey. His ears are lined with black, and his tail has dark grey rosettes.

Eyes: Stone grey

Voice: JP: Konishi Katsuyuki | EN: James Day | CN: Lei Wu/Michael R. | KR: Nam Doh-hyeong. Personal preference goes to his EN voice because it fits him-- SilverAsh was schooled in the analogue to Britain, and has picked up the accent.

Language: Victorian (British English), Kjerag (??? who knows, the country is a mishmash of multiple alpine regions), possibly more because he's well-traveled and is a businessman.

Scent: Snow, fur, leather, whatever expensive alcohol he's been drinking that day, and his bird.

Hand dominance: Ambidextrous with a preference for his right.

Literacy: Can read and write well. His writing is very elegant.

Triggers: it-is-a-mystery.gif. He just doesn't show a lot of emotion and his default is smugness. Though if his sisters are threatened, SilverAsh will retaliate by ruining someone's life.

Other: tba

Biology: Terrans, an umbrella term for Arknights' people, are "kemonomimi" or beast-like people, and SilverAsh is of the Feline race, which references non-lion felids-- and he's clearly based on a snow leopard. He has fluffy ears and a giant tail, superior night vision, sharp incisors, and is no exception to the common Feline trait of being an excellent prowler. He may have other cat-like traits, but right now those are unknown. Some art also give him a secondary pair of human-like ears but I prefer pretending that they don't exist (and I think even official illustrators forget about them). It's also mentioned that Terrans are naturally much stronger than Earth humans, though this has never been proven properly.

Fighting power: SilverAsh primarily uses his pet falcon, Tenzin, to attack distant enemies that are coming towards him-- as long as he sees them, he can command his bird to attack them. However, if the enemy manages to get within arm's reach, SilverAsh shows that he packs a lot of strength in just one blow from the sword hidden in his cane, and that getting hit by him hurts much more than getting hit by his bird.

A running theme with SilverAsh's abilities is "how can he do this? is he enhanced? is he magical?" The answer to the latter two is "No". There's no lore explanation for his sheer power and versatility, no comment about what sort of combat training he went through or how he learned-- none of his skills were inherited from his parents because neither of his sisters do similar things. It's likely that he's self-taught, and decided to learn a variety of things to cover different situations rather than dedicate himself to a single style.

Power Slash gamma: Every fourth attack from him (or his bird) deals far more damage than the attacks previously. Naturally, blows coming from SilverAsh himself will be stronger than blows coming from Tenzin.

Rules of Survival: SilverAsh has a healing factor that he can turn on and off at will, which also gives him added defense-- this allows him to duel powerful enemies by himself, or stall up to two enemies at once and survive until reinforcements arrive. He can keep this up for as long as he needs to, or until he's knocked out. The downside is that he can't command Tenzin while this is happening, reducing his attack range to the space that he can physically reach with his arms.

Truesilver Slash: For emergencies (or overkill), SilverAsh can drastically increase his damage output and attack range for up to 30 seconds. He swings his sword repeatedly the moment he sees an enemy within range-- and he can cleave up to six enemies at once with each swing. He can \magically extend the range of his sword without actually extending its length, though every swipe is considered physical melee damage, not magical. The one saving grace his enemies have from this skill is if they have reinforcements sneaking up from behind him, because this powerful skill forces him to drop his defense to almost nothing and leave him vulnerable.

Eagle Eyes: SilverAsh can see invisible enemies, and their cloaking gets dispelled the moment he spots them.

Leader: Any ally who gets knocked out or retreated from battle will be able to recover quicker and return to the field. This also applies to himself.

Still, SilverAsh is limited-- if he's using Rules of Survival in one skirmish, he can't suddenly turn around and use Power Slash or Truesilver Slash in the same one. It's a nerf built into the game to keep the characters from breaking every stage. However, Eagle Eyes and Leader are passive abilities, thus they're always available to him.
