Personal Notes

Background

Ashley Stratton comes from the affluent and upstanding area of Palladium Drive, Persephone. Born in early 2510, he's the eldest child and only son of Niels and Gemma Stratton, wealthy humanitarians and philanthropists. Given his parents extravagant wealth, he and his younger sisters, Eliza May and Penny, were treated to something of a life of luxury and grew up with an apparent lack for want, taught at an early age to avoid taking wealth for granted. He went to private schools and then went on to graduate with the highest marks from Londinium's New Cambridge University with a law degree. Wanting to give back to society, and under the influence of a budding summertime romance, he then went on to become a member of the Alliance Department of Parks and Recreation division in Persephone City as a forest ranger of the local outlying areas.

This was a brief stint of working for the government in this capacity, given the ruination and eventual fading of the aforementioned romance, but in this time he turned to assisting in his family's vocation and accomplished volunteering of his own. Working abroad for a year, he helped to start and fund an international and interplanetary aid organization, Philanthropy United. With this, among other small feats to establish and foster a good name, Ashley Stratton returned to law-based academics in local Persephone space as well as completing entry-level training for a position amongst the Department of Alliance Security. He soon became a steadfast constable with a hometown posting, showing natural talent for both the physical training aspects and challenging field investigations.

Around this time, Ashley also had a falling out with his parents when he chose not to continue a courting relationship with a family friend's daughter, Laura Harding. They were engaged to be wed but the young man soon called it all off and abandoned the woman, leaving his motives vague and unclear beyond claiming her controlling and conniving, leaving him to focus on his work as a police official. This newfound dedication led to his increasing reckless behavior at work, shirking protocol and nuances of red tape, and cycling through a variety of work partnerships until being placed in the vicinity of one MacKenna Trent, his veritable opposite and near-romantic interest, and Daniel Sabo, the other half to a comfortable bromance. She managed to lessen his tendencies to harm his own career and he was offered a welcomed position amongst the Special Response Teams of the DAS. Rising in the ranks, Ashley focused on his work leading investigations and teams of fellow detectives and investigators into the field.

Given that Ashley Stratton favors personal freedoms over structuralized ones, nowadays he's still willing to turn a blind eye from time to time if it means it's for the best of everyone involved. It has never bode well for the man's career but he still has natural talent for the job that is slowly but surely being refined into perfection.

Eventually.

Description

This light-skinned man stands above average with a broad-shouldered, lean-muscled build. His hair is a healthy, rich brown that is generally kept boyishly unkempt and vaguely trimmed; length kept in check at his temples and upper-neck. He is currently clean-shaven, but not above sporting a three o'clock shadow from time to time. He has a squared jaw and cleft chin, plain ears, with dimples placed at the corners of his mouth. He has a charming smile with straight white teeth and thin lips. Beneath his broad brow is set dark eyebrows and light blue eyes, flanking a straight, broad-tipped nose. He's in his mid twenties or so.

Personality

Ashley Stratton enjoys seizing the day. He is fairly down to earth and relaxed, too, being an informal and easy-going guy. Still, he can easily opt to be as formal as high society dictates. He tries to be easy to relate to and is a social creature. Adaptability is his strength of personality. Fueling that, the man is both energetic and spontaneous. Wanting to help people, he is naive and too trusting to a degree but he is not afraid to do a little wrong if it means doing a greater good even if it tarnishes his immaculate name.
