Entrechat (given name Ash Moondancer) is a college student and full-time hero currently residing in Talos Island.

Backstory

Foretold

Ash doesn’t know where he originally came from, who his parents were, or even his former name…but he wouldn’t have it any other way. Left on the doorstep of a woodland cottage as a baby, he was promptly adopted by the resident mage, Olive Moondancer, when she returned home. A firm, but fair old woman, Olive raised Ash as her own, and, sensing his gift of magic, helped him discover his knack for ritualistic dance.

Ash channels mana through his body, accumulating and releasing it through flowing, circular motions, which causes a variety of effects, both beneficial and harmful. Over time, he's developed a keen sense of rhythm, and can dance to the beat of his own drum even when there is no music playing.

Growing up, he always wanted to take over the “family business”, so to speak, but his mentor could tell that there was more out there for him than being a reclusive hedge mage. He yearned for a connection with people he never really got, as grateful as he was for Olive. So, knowing him better than he knew himself, Olive practically kicked him out when he came of age. She did it with love, of course, but it was a tough love.

Thankfully, his travels weren’t completely aimless, and he soon found himself meeting people who knew his mentor in her younger days, in the city where she learned her craft, Paragon City. Olive’s contacts pulled a few strings, and arranged for Ash to be enrolled in the prestigious Dohrnii Institute, under the codename Entrechat. Finally, a chance to experience life with peers his own age, and truly hone his skills to new heights...

Enshrouded

The truth is, Ash had never been outside of Paragon City, or even a Crey laboratory, until he became an adult. His past as he knows it is a fabrication fed into his memories, though not everything is a lie. His “mentor”, Olive Moineau, was a Crey scientist who made a breakthrough in the field of magitek. She was one of the first to engineer a clone with innate magic, using the genetic material of a super who was killed in battle. It happened to be pure serendipity that said hero’s magic manifested in such an unusual way.

Over time, Olive really did come to love her creation as a son, and knew that the truth would break him, so Ash’s fantastical upbringing was given to him at her personal request. Then, not wanting to be recognized by him and shatter the illusion, she transferred to a Crey facility in another city, where she continues to receive updates on him.

Ash sometimes wonders what Olive is up to, but he will never know for sure as long as Crey keeps a watchful eye on him.

Appearance

Ash is a rather stout man of average height. However, he’s deceptively light-footed, being pleasantly fit and limber underneath his bulk. He has lightly tanned skin, green eyes, and dark raven hair styled into an undercut, the top of which is dyed silver. Ash is also fairly hairy, with a neat beard accentuating his features. A branching, inky tattoo-like marking covers his left forearm, which glows when he uses his powers.

His supersuit, provided by Crey, is tailored to fit his proportions almost perfectly. He dons purple tights on his legs and feet; a black, sleeveless top with a golden, arcane symbol emblazoned on his chest; a white, sleeveless vest; and golden accessories, consisting of bracelets on his right arm, a belt, and an ornate mask.

Outside of superheroics, he likes to dress in sleek athleisure - tank tops, t-shirts, leggings, shorts, sweatpants, sneakers. He doesn’t wear jeans very often because he finds them too restrictive (though jeggings are fine).

Personality

A calm and collected man, Ash’s disciplined lifestyle hides a softer side. His unique form of magic requires focus and a good sense of rhythm, but it’s easy to get lost in it when he indulges himself. He may come across as somewhat standoffish due to his unfamiliarity with society, but he’s determined to get out of his shell, one step at a time. It’s part of the reason why his mentor sent him away from home in the first place.

Though he enjoys exercise and training, he also partakes in creative hobbies, such as painting and baking. He recalls that his childhood was often spent helping his mentor around the house.

Powers and abilities

Dance magic

Ash possesses the Soul of the Dancer, a rare form of magic that chooses its hosts with care. Not quite a bard, not quite a monk, Ash’s power manifests through dance. Twirls, pirouettes, leaps, cartwheels and more, one could almost compare it to the Brazilian art of Capoeira. His purplish magic aura will either radiate out of him, making allies feel reinvigorated, or come out in short bursts as he throws punches and kicks.

Peak physical form

Ash is impressively agile and flexible, able to dodge with ease and hit enemies where they least expect it. His magic also accelerates his own healing somewhat, similar to what it does for people around him.
